Whether you're looking for a place to have a laid-back date or just want to hang with the friends, Good To Grill is a great spot to head for dinner. With an affordable menu ranging from healthy salads with grilled fish to creamy pasta dishes with blackened chicken, you're looking at spending $10 to $15 per person.

On Tuesday nights, there's an added bonus: live music. Join event coordinators Jeremy Cheng and David Asing for an open-mic format. "We've been doing this since December," says Cheng. "It's really great because it's relaxed, we're outdoors, the food is delicious and it's BYOB." The crowd includes college types and young adults heading home after a day at work. Fans include Jason Laeha, lead singer and guitarist of the band Lost at Sea. "My girlfriend and I went shopping at Safeway and heard the live music. We found out it was open-mic, and we've pretty much come every week after that," Laeha said. "The crowd here really appreciates good music." Join the acoustic vibe. Good To Grill, 888 Kapahulu Ave., www.goodtogrill.com, 734-7345.
