The food was excellent, the ambiance is unbeatable, and the service was impeccable. This was our second visit, and there will definitely be more. Magical place, well worth a visit! Note: Reservation required to obtain entry to the resort property if you’re not a registered Mauna Lani guest.

One of a kind Christmas holiday experience. Very exclusive and one of a kind. The four courses were all designed to pair well with well with sake. The optional sake pairing was super interesting. I was surprised by how different these sakes were, though maybe that has to do with the host making suitable choices for my western tastebuds. Took a bottle of "Anna" home. It was well sealed and packed in bubble wrap, and arrived well as checked luggage (can't take this onboard).
