President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, spent the first night of the new year at Vintage Cave, an upscale restaurant in Hawaii.

"At Vintage Cave Honolulu, one can enjoy exceptional food and wine at the hands of gifted masters of the culinary arts. ‘Chef’s recommendation’ commands a gravitas guaranteed to satisfy the most discerning palate. Seasoned sommelier’s conduct the process of pairing wine and food with true finesse and style. Secure in the natural embrace of the cave-like environment, guests are encouraged to relax, ‘hit reset’ and escape the ordinary," Vintage Cave's description reads on its website.

As Time's Zeke Miller pointed out, membership at the restaurant can set you back $500,000.

The Obamas are just "one of us". Kim Jong-un is probably jealous.

Heck, they probably gave him the whole thing because they’re scared of what Michelle would do to their food business if they didn’t placate Bambi.

I think a lot of the things (meals, fancy golf course visits, etc.) he gets are basically free because businesses are afraid of him.

I wonder if the other diners had to leave forthwith because the King and court were dining there.

...and we all knew precisely what we were getting when the votes were in in Nov 2008 and again in 2012. No surprises at all and we could not care a whit what goes on becuase knowing the “man” it was all predictable down to and including his slavemaster view of his subjects. Well versed on the subject by his African history.

It’s just terrible that the Obamas are subject to such horrible system racism in our country.

“these losers make me sick”

LOSERS? I beg to differ. The Obama’s have hit life's lottery like no other. They have transformed that Presidential expense fund into an un-limited perpetual all expense paid vacation.

“...guests are encouraged to relax and hit reset..”
America’s Royalty are once again searching for the perfect “Reset” button. America intends to use its own in January, 2017.

“Seasoned sommelier’s conduct the process...”

I guess they felt that at those prices, they needed to supply an extra apostrophe.

I have visited only 2 places in the USA described as a “cave” and neither was a Chicago/Geneva,WI grotto.

Both were college-town bars wherein such cave-like privacy rewarded you with certain favors from the local “pretties”.

Was Reggie a dinner guest?
