    The food was really disappointing given the price and all the positive reviews. I was expecting more of a farm to table experience, but none of the ingredients seemed particularly fresh or local. Even the salad greens which are usually amazing in Hawaii, no matter what restaurant you go to, were not great. The staff was friendly and accommodating but seemed to lack fine dining experience. I realized after making the reservation that the hotel and presumably the restaurant changed ownership fairly recently, and most of the positive reviews were written before the change. It wasn’t terrible, but I expect far more when paying over $100 per person, without drinks.

    花火の見える席とリクエストしたら、最高のロケーションでした。 メニューもホテルなので割高感はありましたがとても美味しくいただけました。

    Staff gave us best seat in restaurant to see Hilton fireworks! The Kampachi dip and chips were delectable. Two of our party had the Black Cod and really liked it and the wasabi mash. Molten cake was really good. Aki, our server was really service oriented. She even brought my credit card which I forgot in bill holder down to me at the valet! That’s service! Definitely coming back again!

    Shorter menu, but everything is done well. Easy to find something you want, especially seafood (since it is a seafood restaurant).

    Arrived just prior to a lovely sunset - server was very attentive and helpful. Drinks and appetizers delicious. Although menu claimed world’s best Mai tai with caramelized pineapple - which hooked me- it was not in fact a caramelized pineapple- so a little disappointed but still good . I just hate it when a menu doesn’t serve what is described.
