Cafe Pesto

While passing through Hilo we came across this great restaurant, which is attached to a ‘mall’ of sorts. You could check out the art store across the hall, they have reasonably priced art.

We had the wonderful brick oven pizza and the mushrooms were delicious. I’m usually picky on pizzas. My hubby ordered a beer and the waitress said that they were out of the brand. He chose another but when the drinks arrived, his first choice was presented by the server. Our waitress said that they were in the process of receiving a new shipment, and knew that he wanted the beer that they were out of. She waited for the truck to be unloaded, and then she snagged his first choice of beer! That's service! She could have easily had the bartender pour his second choice, and we'd never know - very thoughtful. She was well compensated for her efforts.
