Waikīkī's first-ever Flavors of Waikīkī Restaurant Week starts today, good news for diners and for restaurants looking to fill tables.

• 14 Waikīkī restaurants are offering set menus and discounts through October 11, presented by Outrigger Hotels.
• Deals range from buy-one-get-one-half-off lunches to multi-course dinners in the $68–$72 range at spots like Roy's Waikīkī.
• Some dishes are made just for the event and won't be on the regular menu afterward.
• Drinks are included too, with special cocktails and mocktails at participating bars.

Outlook: The promotion runs through mid-October, with full restaurant and menu lists posted on Outrigger's site.
