    Came here for my husband's birthday, recommended by my MIL, and absolutely didn't disappoint. Our server, along with the manager were very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, drinks were amazing as well. I can't wait to come back.

    Food quality is bad, services was subpar and dining experience not pleasant. It’s unfortunate The Kahala has this place adjacent to them, so many other good dining options that show more effort in creating a memorable experience.

    It had been a few years since we last came here and 30 mins into our meal I was wondering what took us so long to come back! This is definitely going to be on my Top 10 list of restaurants on Oahu.... 1st class service and great food and presentation. We did the set menu and it was delicious. Our waiter Ken was very professional and attentive, as was the entire staff.... definitely recommend.

    I celebrated my birthday with my husband, and it was, as always, a great experience to have it at the Arancino at the Kahala. It was all worth the trip to Hi from CA. Leo, our server for the night, made sure my special day was perfect, great food, service, music, and atmosphere.. I am looking forward to many more birthdays and special occasions at this wonderful restaurant.

    The Menu has nice variety of appetizers and entre items. Service was attentive and efficient. A nice touch was fileting the whole seabass at the table. It was an enjoyable experience for celebrating a Birthday.

    My husband and I were celebrating Mother’s Day weekend at the Kahala Beach Resort location( 5/12/25 & 5/13/25) for dinner and we loved it. They were so helpful and welcoming. Thank you to the host Erika, John and Thor(servers) and to the General Manager, Maria Prioletti and all of the other staff involved in serving us. We will go back again to this location when we’re staying at the hotel(which is located right next door). Thank so much.
