Eric Oto joined the culinary team at G. Lion Hawaii (the management group behind Hy’s Steak House, La Vie and Quio- ra) as executive chef this past May. He brings a multitude of skill sets he has mastered through his ten- ures in fine-dining resorts on Oahu. I jokingly refer to him as the luxury resort chef, but his humble roots and upbringing by his father is what in- spired his appreciation for cooking.
From a young age, his dad taught him how to fish, garden and not to waste anything you take from nature, thus bringing an authentic farm-to- table approach to the menus offered at Quiora, La Vie, and The Ritz-Carl- ton Residences, Waikiki Beach.
Chef Eric has recently introduced some new options to the Quiora menu, and invites Dining Out read- ers to head down to the restaurant to try them.
