Steak and Lobster Time at d.k’s
The staff at d.k’s Steak House in Waikiki began planning this lobster fest during their phenomenally successful Kobe beef promotion earlier this year, convinced that our taste for the finer things in life could be satisfied with live Maine lobster and succulent steak. General Manager Ivy Nagayama says, “Maine lobster is known for its sweet, plump chunks of meat – and goes really well with our juicy, dry-aged steaks.” Dinner for two will be served family style during the 10- day promotion, and includes a choice of steak house salad or onion soup, two 1 1/14lb steamed Maine lobsters and one 22 oz 30-day dry- aged steak. A fully loaded baked potato ( that’s a whopping 1lb potato with sour cream and green onions ), Asian slaw and corn on the cob completes the entrée.
Dessert is the restaurant’s signature chocolate chip bread pudding with ice cream.
Variations on the menu – including a lobster bake will also be offered.
The lobster promotion runs from September 21st – 30th
