    Had lunch here with the ladies today. It was our first time and we all enjoyed it. We ordered the Biscuits in a bag with jam and the truffle fries for appetizer. Couple ladies tried and loved their cocktail “A Honu World”. For lunch we had the Smashed Burger, prime Rib Moco, Chicken Pot Pie, Fresh Fish Sandwich and their version of the Saimin. Then for dessert we had the bread pudding, coconut lime sorbet, coffee and vanilla ice cream. The sorbet was delicious and refreshing and my fish sandwich was moist and oh so yummy! Our server Dylan ( I’m sorry, I hope I got that right) was helpful and attentive. Service and food are 5 stars!

    Highly recommended!! We came to 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar multiple times for their buffet. But this was our first time having to order off of their lunch menu. Started with clam chowder soup, lunch & ended with dessert everything was perfect & delicious!! Our server was on point with seeing how we we're doing randomly, taking our completed dishes off the table & continuously refilling our water. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!! Oh & when she brought our tab she also gave us cute bagged Miso Sesame Brown Butter Cookies.That was totally not expected! Mahalo Nui Loa!

    Since this is our third visit here, it’s obvious that NatuRe Waikiki never disappoints. From the time you anxiously arrive till you reluctantly depart, the level of customer service, appreciation, attention to detail, food presentation, how our server describes what we’re about to enjoy, the food quality and timing of all courses is highly orchestrated. The prix fixe menu inclusive of fine wines is available in both veg and non-veg options. This restaurant is a must for any foodie when visiting Honolulu.
