While Spring does appear to be just around the corner, New Hampshire is still dealing with some chilly days and even snow here and there. This is exactly the time of year that makes us want to take a tropical vacation and come back when Summer is here. If that’s not in your immediate future, you might just consider heading to this Hawaiian-themed restaurant. The food is great and the vibes are even better.

The word "ohana" means "family" in Hawaiian and that's what you'll find at both the Portsmouth and Exeter location of this wonderful Hawaiian-inspired restaurant.
