Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Isaiah Badua
From the OpenTable editors: When it opened in 1988, James Beard Award-winning chef Roy Yamaguchi’s flagship restaurant put Hawaiʻi on the culinary map for its elegant, Pacific Rim cuisine. The restaurant is still a local hotspot for standout dishes like macadamia nut-crusted Hawaiian fish and slow-braised beef short rib. Sit by one of the large windows in the inviting dining room for sweeping views of Maunalua Bay.
