Best Contemporary French Restaurants in Mililani

The atmosphere was great. The service was impeccable. Since the pandemic, I'd morn the lack of restaurants with this kind of services. The food was great. All the courses were tasty. Every bite is a combination of different complementing and contrasting textures and taste. The only thing I can pick on were the meat courses. We ordered the A5 wagyu and the lamb. While the wagyu has the right mouth feel to me, the pieces we got had several connective tissues and it was a little to rare for me (it was rare). The lamb was a little tough. I was expecting a medallion from the rack of lamb, but it didn't seem the case. The fishes were outstanding, however. The aji was incredible. It was flaky and cooked to perfection, with a char on the skin. When the cheese course came, the waiter said in France, they normally serve cheese before the desserts. It's true, but they usually have a cheese cart and serve cheese with cracker or bread. But it was a tasty course nonetheless. The was a surprise panna cotta palette cleanser / pre-dessert. It was light and perfect before the dessert. The staff did not ask or offer coffee or tea, and I didn't think of ordering one then, but it would have perfectly complement the chocolate and end a perfect night.
