We were the first diners to have their holiday seasonal menu and there’s definitely some kinks they need to work out. Highlights were a delicious oyster, excellent steak, twist on caprese salad.

Amazing dishes, delicious wine pairings, and very attentive but unobtrusive staff. Great vegan menu. Six (half) glasses of wine for the pairing is not for the faint of heart since they come out quite quickly but the wines were delicious and did fit the food very well.

Delicious food, local products when possible, great wine pairing. We took the tasting menus, they have a regular and a vegan and both were excellent. The service was fast and the staff nice.

Great service and ambience. The food was interesting and tasty. It tasted like French fused with Polynesian done in an inventive way.

I have eaten here several times, and it seemed to cater to vegans. This time did not feel that way. The tasting menu was just for heavy carnivores. The vegan offerings were nasty. The pasta (without the shrimp) had very little flavor. I had sorbet for dessert, and that was ok. The charcoal-ed heart of palm didn’t have as much flavor as I remembered.

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.
