I can talk about Sola all day because it does fusion so well. They create new and innovative tastes while keeping true to Hawaiian flavors. These flavors create a whirlwind in your mouth, making you want more ith every bite.  The prices are not extravengent either.  They are not cheap, but are completley afordable for a date night.  Aside from their entrees, they have a dessert menu that has a terrific variety, and no matter what you choose, you get a little taste of Hawaii with every lick, bite, or sip. Besides having stellar food, you can tell they really care about their customers.
