President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama broke off from teenage daughters Sasha and Malia for a night out

At the Honolulu, Hawaii, restaurant a 13-15 course, prix fixe meal costs a cool $295 a person and wine pairings add another $130 a head

The total tab often nears $1,000 after taxes and tip

Paintings that decorate the extravagant 32-seat restaurant are valued at more than $10 million a piece

The president and first lady treated themselves to a five star dinner on New Year's Day at renowned Honolulu, Hawaii, restaurant Vintage Cave, where a 15 course, prix fixe meal costs a cool $295 a person, wine pairings add another $130 a head and the total tab often nears $1,000 after taxes and tip.

Formally an Asian cuisine restaurant, Vintage Cave recently began serving contemporary French-American food after Jonathan Mizukami, of Napa Valley's The French Laundry fame, replaced the restaurant's founding executive chef, the Pacific Business News reports.

An example menu posted to YELP lists courses that include caviar, cabbage from Hirabara Farm, Jidori egg yolk, foie gras, King Crab, caramelized white chocolate and Candy Cap Cheesecake.

Impossible. They’re both socialists. They spend their vacations working at Turnip Commune #346.

Glad I'm not royalty. That menu sounds like crap.

I stayed home and had a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Better than what the Obamas had and a lot cheaper too. Plus I didn't have to get dressed up.

Neither one of them ever lived this type of luxurious life until he became POTUS, will be very interesting to see how they live when they are OUT of the WH.

Both are fake, phony liars..so looking forward to the books that will be hitting the air come Feb. 2017.

Nancy Reagan borrowed garments and solicited contributions to replace chipped white house china. Bush gave up golf for years because he thought it looked unseemly during the WOT.

Obama doesn't even pretend.

It’s easy to “treat yourself” when all accommodations are paid for by someone else!

Friggin poser.

“Neither one of them ever lived this type of luxurious life until he became POTUS, will be very interesting to see how they live when they are OUT of the WH.”

Yep. Quite the jump from spending your days as a dead beat pot smoker in the Choom Gang to becoming POTUS. One has to wonder about TPTB that can pull such strings to make that happen. It wasn’t just Bill Ayers and his commie pals.

My guess is that the Obamas have extorted enough dough to live very well for the rest of their lives. In a perfect world they would spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison.

They feel they are entitled to it because people who are now dead had slaves who are now dead.

Notice that the Obama's extravagance didn't make any American newspapers.

Just curious why there has been no mention of the entourage' of friends and family who have traditionally accompanied them in the past. I hardly think they made this trip alone............

The liberal ruling elite always takes as much as it can grab and scorns the people who work to pay for it.

“Obama doesn’t even pretend.”

:::::::::::::

Why should he? He has NO OPPOSITION. He is a blatant pig who hates America and its people. Just another “IN YOUR FACE”. Total stereotyped America-hating. Trash.
