Obama spotted at restaurant in Kailua

Coming off a string of high-profile meetings, former President Barack Obama made an unannounced return to Hawaii on Monday.

Just three months since his last official holiday visit as president, Obama was spotted dining at Buzz’s Original Steakhouse in the Lanikai section of Kailua on Monday evening.

Earlier in the day Obama met with tech executives at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, Calif.

On Friday, Obama and wife Michelle had lunch with U2 frontman Bono and his daughter Jordan Hewson at the Upland restaurant in New York.

Two days later Obama had lunch with billionaire Warren Buffett and his wife, Susie, at the Happy Hollow Country Club in Omaha, Neb.

Cellphone video on KHON showed Obama with a group of men at the restaurant Monday night.

It was unclear whether Obama was staying at his usual Kailua beachfront rental house.
