    Korean fried chicken
    Jim R.

    We reserved 7 pm on a Friday and had no problem walking in a bit early. Unusually it was very quiet and we were the only guests for the first hour. I'm not sure why since the shareable food options were delicious and very reasonably priced. We tried the wonderful shrimp pinxo (fav), and the Korean fried chicken (yummy) and the potatoes also good but a lot of potatoes. Their wine and drink selection was inspired with a choice of vintage wines from around the world as well as a variety of specialty cocktails. The only negative was being the only ones there. Bonus: free parking garage below the restaurant.

    We came here on a Saturday night and surprisingly, there's not too many people. They were able to seat us earlier than our reservation time too. The ambiance is really intimate and elegant and the service was really quick. They made sure we're good and constantly check up on us. We got the wine tab where we can pick from a variety of wines using a card. It'll give you about 1 oz each, but you get to try a tons of wine! Some of the wines didn't taste the best, but it was a lot of fun trying them! We didn't have a chance to try their food, but we tried out their burnt tiramisu and man, it was delicious! Their burnt tiramisu is one of the best tiramisu I've ever had. It was a bit pricey at $16, but the portion was huge! We were so full from just eating the cake. It was a bit confusing trying to find the bar, but it's located inside the inspiration furniture. Definitely worth the visit if you want to try a variety of wines!

    Made reservations via their website (open table), but when our party arrived I was told there were no reservations. Make sure to call a few days prior to your reservations to make sure they have it. Fortunately, their was room for us. Actually we were the only ones there for a while which was strange because Happy Hour is 5pm-6pm. The HH prices are only on the alcohol (selected I believe). The food is regular price. The portions are extremely small so make sure to order enough. There were 4 of us and the grilled cheese was 3 tiny sandwiches that we had to cut up. The pizza was so tiny. I could've eaten the entire thing. It was more like a mini flatbread. Also had the fries. It was more about spending time together so the food didn't bother us. Just know it is definitely small bites. So plan to spend a lot of money on food if you're hungry. We are slow drinkers so we were only able to get HH prices on the first drink. The second drink was regular price. Total 7 wines, 3 dishes was $140 plus tip almost $170. Has a great chill vibe. Will definitely come back. Our server was so good. Free parking in the garage!

    A middle of the week (Wednesday) experience. We were one of 2 tables in the whole restaurant. Our server was very attentive and prompt with service! The wine dispenser had malfunction issues and is not recommended for wine lovers. Besides "measuring each drop of wine", the walk to the dispenser can be a deterrent. Our kalua pig bao buns made up for the wine dispenser challenge. The titillation of the hosin sauce and the "pang" of the pickled red onions, on top of the kalua pig....made a symphony of flavors on my plate! The certified angus beef sliders included a tangy black pepper aioli, covered with cheese and presented on a "pillowy" homemade potato bun....a dream come true...with every bite!! Lol!! Funkadelic....nouveau...yowza....could be used to describe the decorative flavors chosen for this venue!! A relaxing and interesting ambiance that beckons you to return......

    My friends and I stopped by Amuse for a little girls' night and it did not disappoint! So fun to pour our own by the oz glasses and sample a bunch of different white and red wines at our leisure. The bar staff were incredibly friendly and explained the menu and "wine modules" to us as newbies, and were kind to check in with us every now and then in case we had questions. We also had the matcha flan and it was delightful! Not super crowded on a Wednesday night, but there was a private event happening in a sectioned off space that looked like a nice meeting/hosting spot!

    It's been a minute (10 years+) since I've been to Amuse, fortunately the staff there was able to reactivate my wine card that still had a balance of $18 from all those years ago to give us a head start. Love the concept where you load $$ onto your Amuse card and then are able to self serve yourself a large variety of wines at different price points. Pours are in one ounce increments which allow one to taste a wide array of vino from the different regions. The Great: The large selection of wines is the obvious draw but Amuse also has a nice selection of very well prepared dishes to enjoy with your wine. This evening we enjoyed a nice charcuterie platter, salmon tataki, patatas bravas, and finished with the Kula Lavender Tres Leches Cake. Service is always fantastic and their crew do an awesome job. The Good: Besides the self serve wine islands, you can also order flights and pours by the glass. They also offer several unique cocktails and offer a full bar. The Okay: Large seating area filled with lot of high top seating options which make it a great spot for groups. We do like to sit in a nice comfy booth so wish there were some available. Overall: Located within the Inspiration Design store, this location offers easy access and lots of free parking. Great drinks, reasonable prices, fantastic staff, and great food equals a can't miss experience. I'm just upset that it took me 10 years between visits but we will return soon!

    Everyone stop what you are doing and read the this review. Babe The Stage Restaurant and Amuse wine bar is a must! The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the Inspiration Furniture store. I know I know you like what? But, honey don't worry about that get to this spot! The decor will leave you in a quiet space of wonder! The chandelier over my table was a woman made of metal doing acrobatics while holding the chandelier! I will post pics baby! For starters we had the Escargot! Beautifully plated and it was perfectly prepared. Hmmm yes Sir For entree I had the short ribs and yes the Chef blessed this dish! It literally looked like a piece of art. The shading and colors from the brown sauce to the org Ange carrots to this green horseradish dusting. There were layers of flavors. Dessert- Tres Leche- I grew up in El Paso and I know a lil something about a good tres! This tres Leche was wonderful. The addition of blueberries and I believe ube was a new and very enjoyable! I would love to return to Amuse! Please check this place out!

    Like someone said, "This is a Dave & Buster's of wine lovers" and it's so true. Relaxed yet stylish ambience. I was too busy trying different wines and didn't stay at the table much, totally destroying the cool chill atmosphere of the place. The food was great. We only had Salmon Tataki as we went to the Stage Restaurant that is adjacent to this bar to have dinner. But since it comes from the same kitchen, I'm sure the rest of the food items are wonderful as well. The portion is very small, though. The wines were great but they could be very expensive. I tried a few $4.75 per ounce wines and those were definitely better than cheaper ones, though I understand the price doesn't always equal to the taste and quality. I'll definitely be back here again and again.

    The Amuse wine bar - ok a lot more than just wine.

    The Amuse wine bar is a great place to have a light easy meal and enjoy wine or cocktails. Parking is easy if needed at the inspiration furniture store parking and just take the elevator inside the store to the second floor. The ambiance is great and it's usually not too loud enabling great conversations. The seating is consists of nice comfortable chairs and tables like a home living room or at a long solid granite bar. Though the bar stools are not the most comfortable ones. A friend of mine and I had a bottle of Italian red and their daily special anchovy brochette which was very good but you must like anchovies. We had their truffle mushroom pizza and their meat pizza. We both liked the meat pizza the best. They all had nice sprigs of arugula. The service is good.

    Can I give this 6 stars? Had a Fabulous (with a capital F!) NYE 4 course dinner. Food/drinks: Best meal I've had in a while! We enjoyed an amuse bouche, lobster and purée 1st course, Chilean sea bass 2nd course, peach yuzu sorbet pallet cleanser, lamb lollipop 3rd course, ice cream and vanilla meringue 4th course, and a little chocolate and nut nibble to end. They did an incredible job of portioning enough but not too much; I was too stuffed to finish dessert but felt very satisfied. We opted to do our own drink selections and I enjoyed a glass of champagne, the yuzu sake cocktail (very refreshing), and the sweet tooth dessert wine flight (it's pretty sweet). The best part of the food (besides everything being fresh)?! They made very thing gluten free and dairy free for me, and accommodated all my dietary restrictions. I mean, wow! Service: Fantastic. Very attentive host. Changed out our used silverware each course. Explained everything to a t. My only complaint would be that I felt a tad rushed. We did arrive a little late so I think they were trying to keep us to a certain time so they could close. Ambiance: Love! Let me start by saying this restaurant is inside of a high end furniture and design store. We didn't know that and spent 15 minutes circling the building! Once you get inside and go upstairs, there's a beautiful area with funky furniture, lighting, and art. It's eye catching, photo inviting, elevated, and fun. The final price was $$$$ and worth every single penny. Thank you, Amuse, for making such a special NYE 2023.

    My friends and I visited this place for a girls night out. It was the weekend and this place was great to unwind ourselves with wine and tasty small plates. Charcuterie plate: This plate has two different crackers, three different cured meats, we ordered just brie cheese, and grapes. This goes great with wine. Truffle fries: The fries were crispy and addicting. The garlic herb butter was flavorful. I wished there were more garlic on the fries. Escargot: Very good dish. Good amount of snails and mushrooms. The garlic butter sauce and red wine demi glacé made this dish shine. Cauliflower purée was tasteless however. Ahi dynamite: Our favorite go-to dish every time we visit Amuse and Stage. Their dynamite sauce is amazing. Grilled New York steak: This dish was amazing. Their truffle garlic soy sauce was the star of this dish. Stage sliders: The sliders were good. There were 3 sliders. The patty was very flavorful. This dish would be better if they added some greens or grilled onions in the sliders. It's just cheese and patty. Lilikoi creamsicle: I love this dessert. There was the right amount of vanilla ice cream and lilikoi sorbet. Both compliments well together and it wasn't overly sweet nor sour. The strawberry purée was delicious. It would be great if they added more of it. The downside, however, was the shortbread crust. It was very bland and hard that my fork could not break through. Birbet red wine: This red wine was good. It was sweet and bubbly. It was also very pricey. Overall, a great place for a night out. Service was great. Definitely an enjoyable experience.

    Amuse and Stage are beautiful, the food and service can't be beat, and the lighting and sound level is perfect for conversation. It's been a while since I visited and it's better than ever. We had the fried Brussels sprouts, organic greens, grilled cheese and brown butter banana tart -- perfection! We started at Stage but I wanted to get the fried Brussels sprouts which are only served at Amuse. Our waiter was a total pro and he escorted us to Amuse.

    What is the recommended attire?

    Casual for sure. Dressy casual... is that a thing? As a male I would NOT go in slippers (sandals). Shirt. Jeans. Shoes. Boom.

    Can anybody tell me their current HH? Do they still do Thirsty Thursday? Is it only til, 6pm or do they still have specials til 10pm? I haven't been in a while and want to go tonight but want to catch HH.…

I immediately felt calm and relaxed here, much like everywhere else at Halekulani. The pūpū and drinks we ordered were special, thoughtfully prepared, and professionally delivered. We also ordered the hamburger, which was excellent, followed by two French press coffees and coconut cake. The staff was unpretentious and welcoming from the start--nothing stuffy despite the sophisticated setting. The musicians are so talented it felt more like a private concert or dinner theater. The pianist, Maggie, is a singer-songwriter who taught us a few things and kept us engaged the entire time. We caught up on our day, ate, and enjoyed the show. Reservations are for two hours, so there was no rush at all. Overall, this is a classy spot for a relaxed night out. Prices are about what you'd expect but even stopping in after dinner elsewhere would be nice. Reservations are not needed for the bar. The only thing I would do differently is arrive earlier to enjoy the grounds more before sunset. Valet park and enjoy your night!

There's no: "Moonglow" (Benny Goodman) or "That was my heart" (honor to Ella Fitzgerald), so I asked for my favorite aperitif, "Dubonnet" , no. But, they came up with my other favorite, sambuca Mist. I have to agree with another reviewer that the French baguette served with the charcuterie was hard as could be and inedible. I did not enjoy the choice of cheeses as they were both of the same hard boring tastes, unimaginative, mix it up. They olives should be pitted. The tiramisu dessert was very delicious, even though very small, but expected--after all its fine dining. I have no other way to tell new manager to up their game in the food and beverage department. Just wouldn't expect Halekulani to slip in these departments. Also, manager never came around or was seen checking in his or her patrons, not very 5 star there. Just being honest. The complimentary valet parking was exceptional. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

Tucked on the second floor of a Piikoi Parkway building, it feels like stepping back in time, a true bespoke bar with vintage art, moody lighting, and comfy couches that make it perfect for couples or a night out with friends. We sat at the bar, which was a highlight, Michael and Tony were welcoming, easy to talk story with, and clearly know their craft. I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way. Prices are on point for the quality and experience you're getting. It's a bit of a hidden, hip spot, not for a quick drink but for when you want to sit, relax, and enjoy it. Parking is tight, but you can park at Ala Moana and walk over, and it's worth it. Next time we're coming back for Grandma's Old Fashioned and the pork belly bao buns. This isn't a bar you stumble into, it's one you come back to.
