Everything was delicious. I don't know how else to describe this other than the fact that I don't like driving into Waikiki at all and I would for this restaurant again and again. Worth the drive and worth the money! Service was impeccable.

Thanks to Travis, Lohi, Nick, Brendan, and Yuhi for excellent food and service. Special thank you to Zack, the line cook who was right in front of us and explained the dishes while never missing a beat while cooking. We both had the Hale 6 course meal, and I topped it off with dessert. To read more about each dish, check out the Yelp review Therese1216 left. Definitely 5 star food and service.

We visited this restaurant expecting a fine dining experience, but sadly, it fell short of expectations, especially at $160 per person. This was our second visit, and both times, the chef was absent. The meat, bread, and fish were inconsistently cut, and the flavors of the tofu steak and poi were underwhelming. While we were more than willing to pay the high price for an exceptional meal, the quality of the food and the overall experience did not justify the cost. The only bright spot was our server, who was attentive and thorough in explaining the dishes. Unfortunately, this is not a place worth splurging on. Save your time and money; there are far better options elsewhere.

We chose to sit at at the Chefs table and would have preferred to watch our chef prepare the meals. Instead, we sat in front of a different chef and had very little chef interaction. Wasn’t worth the extra money to sit at the chefs table. However, he food was delicious and the experience was nice.

I did the vegan tasting menu and my husband did the meat tasting menu and they were both incredible. You cannot share because the portions are small but the flavor is worth it. We added on the wine pairing and it was all very well thought out!

We really liked the atmosphere and the service was all EXCELLENT. Like 5 stars. We really liked everyone and felt well taken care of. The food presentations on both menus were absolutely tasteful looking, stunning and beautifully executed …some of the best I’ve seen..… but we found the food to be a bit too salty on a few dishes and many of the complex combinations just didn’t come together on the palette. Sometimes less is more and the main ingredient can get overpowered by too many other ingredients. Although we appreciated the creativity, service, ambience and presentations the flavors just didn’t match everything else being offered.

A little over priced. The ambiance of this place doesn’t support the prices. I didn’t have the wow factor
