Today in The Advertiser, you'll find the 2005-06 Hawai'i's Best Restaurants — a free guide to eating out (and taking out) all over the Islands. As always, the opening chapter reveals our 2005 'Ilima Award winners, as judged by our readers and our in-house food experts. The 'Ilima Awards event, a benefit for Diamond Head Theatre, is set for Monday evening with a show of Broadway parodies honoring the winners, followed by an evening of dining and dancing. A few individual seats remain at $175. Call 733-0277, ext. 305.

The 68-page magazine-style guide is tucked into the paper, so be sure to pull it out and keep it around to consult throughout the year.
