A peek into Chef Mavro’s Greatest Hits menu

Goat cheese ice cream

I've always been intrigued by this dish: this is a goat cheese ice cream — the cheese comes from the Big Island — with a strawberry-rhubarb "minute" jam and baby arugula. On top is a piece of Elizabeth's Volcano Island honey candy. It's refreshing, it's playful, it's easily one of my favorites.

There’s a reason why it’s called the “Greatest Hits” menu.

The summer prix fixe offering at Chef Mavro features some of chef/owner George Mavrothalassitis’ most popular dishes.

And, to be honest, some of my favorites, too.

Like the Hawaiian salt-crusted onaga (longtail snapper) with a tomato-oho-fines herbes sauce. Or the goat cheese ice cream with chef’s “minute” strawberry and rhubarb jam.

We got a chance to check out the popular menu last night — it’s available through Sept. 29 — before Chef Mavro unveils his fall dinner menu. (See gallery above.)

Here’s the video of our meal last night.
