Fodor's Review:
An authentic German gasthaus right in the middle of Hawaii, Edelweiss is truly a great place. Fear not if you don't see anything you want on the menu; there are 15 to 20 daily specials that your server will rattle off without batting an eye. No one can figure out how (or why) they do it. The rack of lamb is always good, and anything ending in schnitzel is a safe bet, as are items ending in brat or braten. The chicken Cordon Bleu is large enough and rich enough for two. Soup (almost always what sounds like a weird combination turns out to be a real treat), salad, and coffee or tea are included in dinner prices. The wine list is decent, but c'mon, get the Hefeweizen. You won't have room for dessert with the size of their portions, but you're not missing much. If you're a potato pancake fan, call two days ahead and the kitchen will whip up a batch for you.
