You'd be wrong. My favorite restaurant in Hawaii was a shrimp shack
about 20 miles up the coast from the fancy hotel where we were staying.
I look for good local restaurants where the locals eat.

I've always done the same. When I travel to a new town I ask a
customer, or the hotel person for their recommendations. I have ended
up in places I would never normally enter and enjoyed some great food.
