Location: In the Old Hanalei Schoolhouse, Hanalei
Cuisine: American
Price Category: Moderate

The wood floors, wooden benches, and blackboards of the old Hanalei School, built in 1926, are a haven for today's Hanalei hipsters noshing on the Tu Tu Tuna (far-from-prosaic tuna salad with green beans, potatoes, niçoise olives, and hard-boiled eggs); fresh grilled ahi sandwiches; roasted eggplant sandwiches; chicken-salad boats (in papaya or avocado, with macadamia nuts and sans mayonnaise); and other selections. This is an informal cross-cultural tasting, from stir-fried veggies over udon to Oriental ahi-pasta salad to artichoke hearts fried in beer batter. Big Tim's burger is, unsurprisingly, big, and the sandwich selection, on fresh-baked bread, hits the timeless deli faves, from roast beef and pastrami to smoked turkey and chicken salad. The TV over the bar competes with the breathtaking view of the Hanalei mountains and waterfalls, and the wooden floors keep the noise level high. (The music on the sound system can be almost deafening.) Nightly live music adds to the fun.

Main courses $7-$23.Open: Sun-Thurs 8am-10:30pm; Fri-Sat 8am-11:30pm.Credit Cards: DC, DISC, MC, V.
