We love the setting and atmosphere of the Kaimana Beach Hotel and the Hau Tree. It was noon, but all 5 of us decided to have one of the Benedict's. Three of us got the salmon Benedict, one crab Benedict and another, Portuguese Benedict! The salmon was literally "to die for". I can't quite get it and the little potatoes it came with out of my mind. Our waiter was also excellent. We all really enjoyed our meals. read more

First of all food was over priced for the portion. Avocado toast tasted like crap it looks like the avocado spread was bought from costco and slapped on the small piece of bread. Was not filling at all. Service was not attentive and was not accommodating until more complaints happened. It was a less than alright experience. I hope you guys improve. We wont be back ever and we live here. Our server didnt want to split the checks and it was only 5 of us. Also the tip is included when we should be able to tip out how we want to appropriately due to service. read more

The service is horrible. We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time. I seen other people who came 40 minutes after us get there food before we did. It also took almost a hour and a half later to get our food. Once our food was finally brought, everything was wrong. We were told no one could sit by the trees because of the weather. A few minutes later they sat 6 other groups by the trees. The only thing good about this restaurant is the view honestly. read more

What a Beautiful way to spend a Sunday! I happily dined at this restaurant for Sunday brunch with my gals! Reservations are preferred but not required. Parking can be tricky in this area but thankfully the restaurant has valet parking available. After taking in the views and chatting, we ordered and enjoyed: Crab cake Benedict Pancakes Avocado toast And since it was 12:00 somewhere, I had to try their double el old fashioned. We all enjoyed our dishes and I can honestly say their double el old fashioned was great! Beautiful sights, delicious food and great company definitely makes for an awesome Sunday! I'm a fan and I can't wait to dine here again ! read more

(Dined 02/08/22 TU @ 6:00pm & 02/09/22 WE @ 9:00am): "Hau" much do I love this tree on the beach!? After a long travel day and time needed to settle into our hotel, Hau Tree was where we decompressed. I always liked to try restaurants in hotels I stayed at, and thankfully this restaurant was casual with a sunset view of the beach! The setting was my speed, but how about everything else!? PURCHASE 1944 Mai Tai ($18.00): Way too much crushed ice, could use more alcohol, but damn was this tasty https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1VVcNJiMcSwNxhVfEHNBbg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Waialua Honey Ginger Daiquiri ($18.00): Simply a lovely Asian sweet elixir https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=B-wF7yE9iyiVMv1otDO7KA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Hau Tree Highball ($16.00): A refreshing spritzy drink https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GlmDIuHQ7gET3cT8wjG0VA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Roasted Baby Potatoes ($10.00): Looked like testicles covered in chimichurri, these balls were tasty in my mouth https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=UgrXn4GAk1vMauz0o6Edqw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Salmon Tartare Crisps ($15.00): Fancified sushi on a faux half-shell - yummy https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=q32hESm3-oQrUN-Zww-7yA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Crab Ravioli ($29.00): Four-piece filled pasta, these were damn pricey and wanted more https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CaqZS7crVAd40r2mZZfH_A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Crispy Pork Belly ($34.00): Crunchy, fatty, meaty - awesome https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=43MfoYnouZPZ34aSjFT1sA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Washugyu Flank Steak ($37.00): Succulent, tender, plentiful - amazing https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GAvjbRgdgb-DyVkHIWYKvg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw!

Fresh Baked Pastry Trio ($15.00): Butter croissant, dark chocolate scone, and banana bread - warm melt-in-your-mouth brunch food goodness https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XjJfUqZ9qsqULBUrY7tpaQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE Greeted by a trio of friendly young women, we were first asked to show proof of our COVID vaccination and matching ID as was the protocol these days. They took our names, gave us a buzzer, and about 30 minutes later we were notified and seated at a lovely bar that looked out to the beach. Then, our server who was exemplary the whole evening, was with us the rest of the way. Ordering was easy, the drinks and food came quickly, and we were constantly checked on. From start to finish, we were treated like royalty - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; $40.00/overnight guest valet this instance) Pricey resort prices, indeed! They had limited spots in their private parking lot especially if you were a guest like I was. If you weren't a guest, I'd simply take public transportation or walk over - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located on the ground level of the beach patio https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ZBgdjUGrB3bjS4TZ-IPWdg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and lobby area of the Kaimana Beach Hotel, this spacious vibrant restaurant bar was packed with chairs/tables, and a bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=_XXVXAnSWFThPE9Tw3C0lg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. The real selling point was the gorgeous sunset beach view https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ZAanJ-4JIyqW2hNVNL7xOg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting came in throughout while soft standard electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were TVs while light music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Hau Tree was definitely my kind of place and would love to return despite the out-of-comfort-level prices and smaller portion sizes. Sadly, there wasn't a happy hour, while a brunch drink https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1aWEsSfDTZX7Vq85aSk1Cg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nbt1ukzJovZXE82d45nPQQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw menu were appreciated. Please see my posted pictures for all drink and food menus. And, all dishes were pretty much made for sharing. The prices and portion sizes were the real reasons for the downgrade. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $216.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Great view . Fantastic service and food. I had just a short amount of time during Honolulu marathon and they provided quick and friendly service read more

1st of all. Gorgeous place!! We went for brunch and if it wasn't raining, it would've been even prettier. 1st timer here, one very important tip. Parking is valet only. $10 cash or Venmo only and no atms to withdraw nearby so be ready. There's also street parking if you're lucky! Mimosa: pretty basic but still good. Mimosas are my brunch weakness so she was a must Hau Tree Eggs Benedict: wow! Ps, your girl here LOVES bacon so I added that on and we had extra sauce on the side. It comes with greens (for balance of course) and these breaky potatoes that are crispy and flavorful all over! Shakshuka & Toast: yum! This was my girl's plate but we sampled everything. Hearty & flavor was on point Short Rib Hash: This was really good too but was hoping to see more meat. Calamansi Ricotta Pancakes: omg so much yes! Moist and flavorful! Tip: ask for extra ricotta and calamansi curd Coconut birthday cake: a little dry but still good. And this is coming from a gal that isn't fond of coconut. I wouldn't order it on my own though. Service was good. They were really attentive as the weather changed and offered to move us as the rain slowly creeped in. Am I going again? Heck yes! Definitely want to do another brunch and a sunset dinner read more

To all the girlies looking for Instagram worthy aesthetics and a picturesque brunch location, Hua Tree is the spot to be! Located in the Kaimana Hotel, guests are greeted with a warm and colorful entrance to the restaurant. There's an upstairs bar/seating area and then the main dining area with a direct view of the beach (fun to people watch). It is a small restaurant so I recommend making reservations for breakfast, brunch, or dinner because I assume it gets busy! I had the Waikiki Mai Tai, ahi tataki, and loco moco. 10/10! Delicious food with a warm inviting atmosphere. read more

Did you ever have this experience: A restaurant asks you if you're celebrating a special occasion... and you answer... "Yes! It's my cousin's birthday!" ...and nothing happens? Well... I didn't expect anything because nothing happens so often... And when it does... It's like... Wow! Something happened!!! So... That's what happened at Hau Tree in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii! My cousin's son brought his wife to Oahu for her birthday. He asked me if I wanted to hang out with them and I was thrilled! I like these young foodie people! They're fun and observant! Let's go! In the past, I had been to Hau Tree for dinner with my coworker and enjoyed the fresh fish entree, open-air ambiance (right on the beach), and superior service. The restaurant is located at the end of Kalakaua Avenue, on the ground level of the Kaimana Beach Hotel, where I found free street parking on both of my visits. I easily made reservations online for brunch. I was asked if we were celebrating anything special and I replied, "birthday". I thought nothing of it until we checked in with the receptionist who greeted us with, "Happy birthday!" I then pointed at my cousin's wife who probably felt very special at that moment! We were seated next to the worker who was passing out beach towels to the hotel guests. It was amazing to watch him efficiently dig a hole with a small shovel, and set up umbrellas and chairs for customers' comfort. Great service! The birthday girl ordered Lemon Ricotta Pancakes while my cousin chose the Lobster Roll and I got the Lobster Benedict. The portions were quite generous, so I had a chance to try the light pancakes - mmm! The tart lemon popped the dish! My cousin and I appreciated the sweet lobster meat! My Benedict sauce had a slight kick, but the toasted English muffin balanced it out perfectly! To our delight, a complimentary Chocolate Mousse cake was presented to the birthday girl! It was decadent with creamy filling and chocolate chips! Yay! It was a great way to celebrate Renee's birthday! Thank you, Hau Tree, for the hospitality and wonderful experience! You made a special occasion happen! read more

I can only speak for a few menu items, but the real reason you should go here is for the retro vibes and sunset views. The burrata toast is off the chain. The hamachi is fresh and delicious with an exotic presentation. The venison ragú comes with fresh pasta and a flavor that is not the least bit gamey. Apparently the venison comes from the big island, where baby deer run amok. The mahi special was fresh and elegant. Great cocktail menu. Give the mezcal old fashioned a whirl. Fast and friendly service. Located inside the Kaimana Hotel. Valet parking. Recommendations and fat wallets recommended. read more

Almost didn't go because of the negative reviews. Turned out to be the best dinner during our recent two week stay in Waikiki! Great food, service (thanks Luke), and atmosphere. I had the Wagyu. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Luke recommended the focaccia and the fried egg plant....we were not disappointed. During our stay we dined at three other of Waikiki's top restaurants and Hau Tree was the best and the most reasonably priced. Don't miss out if you are in Waikiki! read more

Enjoyed Sunday brunch here. Food was incredibly fresh and delicious. Cocktails were refreshing and made with love. Service was spot on. Staff were very pleasant. Table was located with a perfect view of the beach. Great overall experience! Highly recommend. read more

Came here for a surprise bridal shower during brunch. First time here and I loved the idea of eating brunch while looking at the beach! Such a unique ambiance. Service was fast and our servers were polite and attentive to our party. I got the loco moco with over easy eggs and that was very filling. I thought I couldn't eat dessert after! Thankfully we have another stomach for dessert right? Lol! We ordered the ube cinnamon roll and it was absolutely delicious! read more

Today was my second time to this new version of Hau Tree. Cleaner, more spaced out, more casual, it has quite a different feel from the romantic more intimate OG Lanai, where everyone was seated closely under the big sprawling hau tree, but I like both. You can't beat the location right on the beach with the ideal sunset view! Within a few yards people sport bikinis and swim shorts which is kinda weird when you're dressed for fine dining but Hau Tree has a casual atmosphere and most guests dress comfortably since it is outdoors. The prices are resort prices, not surprising given the locale, so on both occasions I went to celebrate someone's birthday. The day view was nice and because it was overcast, not too sunny which was good. But it was humid so we did miss having AC. You do get a different vibe with a breathtaking sunset, so make reservations to ensure a good seat and time for dinner. For brunch I started with a Queen's cooler, a refreshing non alcoholic mix of calamansi, yuzu, soda and lavender that was not too sweet, not too sour, but just right! Last time I got the Waikiki maitai which was very good as recommended but for $17 it better be! My friend and I shared a baby kale and spinach salad which was good, but not great like the avocado toast ($20). It comes topped with smashed avocado, tomato jam, tomato relish and a soft boiled egg for $3 more. The bright flavors of the tomato balance the avocado and it's smooth texture is a nice contrast to the crunchy but also soft toast. Though it was over a year ago I remember enjoying some dishes more than others at dinner as well. We got roasted Brussels and the fresh catch of the day but I think the Wagyu NY steak was the best dish. For dessert the coconut cream cake was light and fluffy , the cream was smooth, not too sweet and not too much. Last time I was very disappointed because I made sure to ask ahead about a bday dessert. I think they forgot because my bf ordered a coconut cake and then they brought the exact same cake after I had to get up in the middle of dessert to go ask them where the candle was! I appreciate that they do honor bdays but it really ruined the surprise and the mood! This time they were more on it and brought the bday girl a rich chocolate mousse cake. Service is friendly and professional but they are busy so sometimes you need patience before you can flag someone down. Valet Parking is $10 plus tip so if you're like me and willing and able to walk for affordable parking, bring quarters and hunt around for a space around Kapiolani Park. read more

Kendall was super kind and helpful when choosing what to get! We were able to order a drink off the menu and they put a sweet twist on it. The food is very tasty and strongly seasoned. Most are customizable and the servers are very kind and helpful! Over all, the location is very friendly, romantic, or intimate. There is a beautiful view and so much to enjoy! read more

I loved my experience at Hau Tree. My boyfriend took me here for my birthday dinner and we loved everything. We ordered the poke cornets, rainbow cavier, wagyu striploin, and their restaurant week menu which included lomi hamachi, king prawn tagitelle, and a brownie dessert. Everything was delicious and came out quickly. The ambiance is so nice as it's right on the beach and we were able to watch the sunset. Our drinks were good as well. We got the art's mango whoopsie and 1944 mai tai and both were really good. I would highly recommend coming here. It is a little expensive but I would say it's worth it compared to other restaurants on the beach. read more

First, I'd like to say that I loved every aspect of our dinner here at Hau Tree. When we first walked in, the lobby decor was very bright and inviting. The hostess was able to seat us at the bar too for our reservation. From our seats, we were able to see down into the restaurant and out to the beach as well. The sunset was beautiful. On to the food, we tried a lot of different food. We started with the focaccia and the raw oysters. They were both great. The oysters were small but sweet/mild brine. Next, we shared the crispy octopus, and it ended up a favorite of ours. My boyfriend ended up with the Akaushi Wagyu NY strip loin. It was pretty good, nice and buttery. Each bite was so soft and rich. I got the lamp chops, and I loved them. If I were to come back, I'd get that over the NY strip loin. The flavor was so amazing and the char was perfect. Lastly, we got the crab tagliatelle. It was a creamy, citrusy sauce with large pieces of crab. It was fresh and filling. My boyfriend finished all of it. To conclude the meal, our sweet server brought us a complimentary cake in celebration of our anniversary. She was the sweetest and made the whole experience even better. If you're considering a visit here for dinner, do it! Next time I'm going to try and make a reservation for the restaurant with the beach view. Dinner here was 10/10 and I'll recommend this spot to everyone I know who will be visiting. Great job to the staff for providing top tier service! read more

Been several times now. Twice for Christmas dinner, today for Thanksgiving dinner. Always for sunset. HauTree has the best ambience of any restaurant on the island. The trees and lanterns, with beach, ocean and pink skies are going to be hard to beat. The cocktails are incredible - tried the Ube Pina Colada, Lilikoi Margarita, and cold brew martini. Each dinner was a fixed menu - $125pp. We loved everything we ate. Service was great - attentive, wait for drinks wasn't long, food was coming out on a good cadence. Perfect date spot or for special occasions - can't go wrong. read more

Dinner here was beautiful. The atmosphere and drinks were really good putting you in a happy relaxed vibe! The music here was good as well.

Located at the Kaimana Hotel near the end of of Kapiolani Park. PARKING They offer valet parking for $10 with validation. If you have a big vehicle, you may want to park outside as the stalls are tandem and a little squishy for my van. I believe Kapiolani Park has parking for $1/hour but you'll need coins for the meter. RESTAURANT It's an open air style restaurant and partially located outdoors. It's an up and down style restaurant and if your lucky enough your table could be right next to the beach. The lobby and waiting area share the same location as the hotel so at times it can get pretty busy Ms crowded. Views of the beach are epic especially during sunset hours FOOD Yelpers rave about the food here and it is really good. The portions are just right. The baked oysters were really good. The Burrata Toast was amazing. For entrees we had the Wagyu NY loin which was cooked perfectly at medium rare. Mahi-mahi tasted moist and not dry like some other restaurants. For dessert I'd recommend the Banofee which is a banana coffee blended tart looking thing. Not sure how to explain it. But it's enough for 2 people to share. CONS Reading a recent Yelpers review regarding the bug in their drinks. Yes it is true unfortunately. There are some fruit flies flying around and they do come by. I did have one lane in my wife's wine but we just went ahead and tossed it out. Being an outdoorsy restaurant it's inevitable, The restaurant needs to address the problem though. All in all it's a great place for great food. We all loved it and we are definitely coming back. read more

This review is on the breakfast and brunch service and menu: 4th Star for the ocean view and tropical ambiance. 3rd Star for the terrific service 2ns Star for the fantastic Bloody Mary 1st Star for the iconic location in the Kaimana Beach Hotel A great place for gathering of the gals or a meal with your besties or a meal with your visitor from afar. The menu is basic- breakfast items and burgers and salads. What more do you need? Hot coffee or tea and adult beverages for the asking. Portions are relatively large so be careful when ordering or have a dining partner you can share entrees with You will need reservations, vaccine card or negative Covid test verification, temperature check and sign in for cluster tracing. Valet Parking or street parking. Depending on the time you go, street parking may be available. Last- Enjoy the view and the ambiance.... this is HAWAII read more

I've been wanting to try here for a while and I finally got to go to celebrate Mother's Day. We went the day before because they had a set menu on Mother's Day and I wanted to try their regular menu. You can valet but I'd recommend just parking on the street as there is a lot of street parking in the area. My sister in law made the reservations and we got seated right when we arrive. We were seated right next to the beach which was nice. It was even better and very quiet because the monk seal had just had her pup so the entire sand part of the beach was closed off. I think it would've been a little different if there was a bunch of people on the beach. I decided to try their lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of bacon and also got their orange juice. The pancakes were huge and the bacon was cooked perfectly. I only ate about a quarter of the pancakes and all of bacon. Service was great too. I definitely will be back, maybe brunch with the girls. read more

Located in the beautiful KIamana Beach resort, Hau Tree Is one of the few dining locations that is directly on the beach front of Kiamana. Open for breakfast/brunch until 1 PM and then dinner begins at 3:30pm - 9pm. They have an extensive wine and cocktail menu and their food menu is delicious as well. We were there for a total of 10 days and had brunch three and dinner four times. Parking is very tight at the resort but there is plenty of street parking. Some parking is free some is metered From the brunch menu we had: Hau tree French toast - so good! Vanilla custard and fresh berries Lemon Ricotta pancakes - again - delicious but huge! Bring your appetite!! Maine Lobster roll - it was ok. I didn't care for the avocado paste in the bun and the lobster being on top of it. Avocado toast - good - too much tomato jam and tomato relish. Really just needs one as it was hard to eat Fruit plate - delicious seasonal fruits Kiamana cheeseburger - beef patty (double stacked), cheddar, bacon jam and special sauce. - we opted for the special sauce on the side - glad we did as it was a garlic infused sauce that we didn't care for. The Burger is huge and hard to eat For dinner, we tried: Burrata toast - prosciutto, black garlic, truffle honey - tasty! Chopped salad - za'atar vinaigrette, set up, egg, pebbled onion, avocados, crispy garbanzos - really good! Baby kale salad - Green goddess, pomegranate, Gorgonzola, almond slivers - so good! We had them split it into two bowls and it was the perfect size starter saad for the two of us. Roasted brussels - cherrmoula, grape, fata. Don't let the great for you, it's actually pretty good. These were very tasty especially when you got some of the crispy pieces. Miso roasted eggplant - tofu, shimeji, crispy shallot, grilled romaine - very tasty and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Crispy pork belly - quinoa, Delicata squash, Asian pear, pork jus - very crispy and good flavor Washugya flank steak - pastrami spice, sunchoke, truffle - not a fan of the sunchoke - but meat was tasty Venison Ragout - harissa, rosemary mascarpone - it was okay. The pasta was not cooked long enough. Hamachi crudo - tomato ponzu, pickle radish, Trout roe. Light and delicious Seared Maine Scallops - Red wine braised red cabbage, orange gas street, pomegranate, chard apricot. Again - another great dish Crispy Spanish octopus - coconut curry, cauliflower, lemon Gelee. Beautiful presentation! Very tasty as well Crab Ravioli - braised fennel, black garlic, arugula. Good, but the pasta seemed like it was too thick Ginger scallion steamed fish - market fish, mushroom congee, broccolini. Good dish! Our fish needed just a little more salt, but other then that, it was great! Glazed king salmon - Squash, sudachi, coconut melon vierge, crispy dill. It's cooked with the skin on which definitely gives it more of a fishy flavor. But if you eat just the salmon without the skin it was very good Yuzu tart - crème fraîche, almond crust. Taste similar to a lemon tart. Toasted coconut cake - vanilla, rum, vairhona white chocolate. Light and delicious! Banoffee pie - butter scotch, banana, Vairhona ivoir. If you don't like bananas this dessert is not for you. read more

I was in the mood for a nice date night with my partner and decided to try out Hau Tree. I heard many great things so I was excited. Came to eat here on a weeknight and it is still quite busy, so I do recommend making a reservation if you want to sit in the dining room under the trees. Lots of street parking nearby, however, they do have a valet service if you do not want to search for parking. There is an amazing ambiance and gorgeous views and seating. Lots of warm and close feelings as the lighting is all lamps from the trees in the dining space. The service was great! Everyone was super friendly and accommodating with where we wanted to be seated. I would say every table at the restaurant has amazing views of the beach and the ocean. We ordered peas and burrata with the flatbread, grilled lamb chops, and the crab tagliatelle. For drinks, we got the ube pina colada and the lilikoi margarita. Everything was delicious and well-balanced. My favorites were the drinks as I loved the island inspiration which made the drink that much more enjoyable. For food, my favorite was the grilled lamb chops. The pairing of the grilled eggplants and chimichurri was perfection. I highly recommend coming here for a nice dinner date or a celebration. I am excited to come back for dinner but also to try their brunch! read more

We were so excited to have our Secret Santa Brunch here... But it was all ruined the day we went to check it out and ask about parking for motorcycles. Soon as we got there-- we haven't even gotten off our bikes yet, and the valet attendant, Mel, came storming our way like he was going to pick a fight with us! We just parked closest to the first parking stall -- and although it technically wasn't a parking stall, we weren't gonna be there long... just wanted to get some info... but still, the attendant didn't have to come at us the way he did. I tried to smooth things over by saying "hello, we have an upcoming reservation here and we were just wondering about the parking for 6 motorcycles"... before I can even finish my sentence, he cuts me off and rudely says "it's valet only here, you'll have to let the valet know and they'll put your bikes in 1 or 2 stalls, it's $10 per bike, or you can take a chance parking on the street" -- just the way he was talking at us was like he just needed to boss someone around... must have some kind of complex.. That completely turned us off! Why be rude from the start? read more

My partner and I both ordered salads and were disappointed. With a protein add on, each salad came out to about $40. The protein was cooked subpar. My salmon was dry and the chicken lacked any flavor. Miso Caesar salad: I couldn't taste the miso. Better suited if you have a saltier palate Greek salad: I wish it came with a bed of lettuce. The flavor was good, but the dish was too small. It would not be filling enough even with a protein added. We also ordered fries, which we had to send back to the kitchen because we received burnt end bits and pieces. I would not order the POG either, it tastes like V8 juice. The waitress made several mistakes with our order and took very long to circle back to us. The only highlight here is the ambience. It's fun and vibrant with beach access. I would give this place another try, but order something very simple next time or try just cocktails. read more

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's milestone birthday, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from start to finish. We had a 5:30 PM reservation and arrived on time, only to be asked to wait in the lobby. After about 10 minutes, we were seated at 5:40 PM. I ordered a Mai Tai and my boyfriend ordered a spicy margarita. When the drinks arrived, they were switched--my Mai Tai was served in the spicy margarita glass, complete with a tajin rim and lime, and the margarita was served in the Mai Tai glass (topped with a rum float). I took a sip of my unexpectedly spicy Mai Tai and proceeded to point this out to our waitress. While she corrected my drink, she assured us that my boyfriend would receive a correct margarita as his second drink. That drink never arrived. We started with the octopus appetizer, which was the only highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience took a nosedive. We ordered the local fish, along with sides of eggplant and potatoes. All four dishes were so overwhelmingly salty that they were nearly inedible--and we are big fans of salt. We barely touched the eggplant, potatoes, or my fish, and I mentioned this to our waitress. I specifically said we didn't want to send anything back, as we didn't want to make a scene, but I asked her to alert the kitchen for future diners. She assured us she would speak to the manager, but we never heard from her again. She passed our table at least four times without even acknowledging us. When the bill arrived, everything was still on it. My boyfriend asked the waitress what the manager had said, and she responded that since we didn't send the food back, the only thing that could be removed was the $11 potatoes. She then took that off the bill. At this point, we were so disheartened by the entire experience that we just paid the remainder of the bill and left. I became emotional during this entire exchange as his birthday is something I'd been saving for and looking forward to for sometime. I heard one of the other staff joking and mocking loudly about the fact that I got choked up. For $200, this was an absolute waste. It's a shame, as we had high hopes for this place, but the service and food quality left a lot to be desired. read more

My coworker and I came here for lunch. The restaurant provides valet service, but street and meter parking are also available. It's located right on the beach and people are able to sit outside and enjoy the view of the ocean. The staff was friendly and we were able to be seated right away due to our reservation. It wasn't too windy of a day so we were able to enjoy the weather, however, because it was during the day, the beach was crowded with beach-goers in their swim suits. Made me think it's probably better to come for dinner since there would be much less people for diners to enjoy the ocean view from their tables. We ordered the ahi as an appetizer, a burger and a lobster roll for our main meal. I wasn't blown away by them but they were satisfactory. read more

What an AMAZING INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!! A++ all the way around. Our time at Hau Tree saved our overall views on dining in Hawaii. The two previous nights at the restaurants we dined at prior to coming to Hau Tree were abysmal, but Hau Tree was absolutely spectacular. The ambiance, the most delicious food, and most of all, our servers Jordan and Erin were the best. To the owners, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. You are the essence of Aloha. Dining at the Hau Tree was well worth the expense and we will be back every time we return to Hawaii. Thank you all for saving what had been the worst dining experiences at prior restaurants! read more

Hau tree is really beautiful. The ambiance is great. By the ocean, newly renovated, and cute decorations. The environment is the best part. Other than that, I don't know if I would come back. I had emailed Hau Tree prior to coming to ask about bringing cupcakes, if that was ok. We were celebrating two girls and wanted to bring something to match the theme. They just responded that it was ok. Once we got there, they told us there was a cake cutting fee of $5 per person. Our server was really great though and helped us with that because they were cupcakes and didn't even need to be cut. The appetizers were ok. One friend got the crab ravioli which she said was good. Another got pork chops which I think were also good. I got the spring risotto which I did not really enjoy. I just didn't really care for the food. Our waitress was so nice though. She helped us with questions on the menu and was patient and attentive. And watching the sunset was so great. read more

The restaurant was slightly hard to find as I didn't realize it was attached to the hotel and you had to go through the hotel lobby to find it. This restaurant was truly just AMAZING. You cannot beat the view from anywhere you sit, it is all just amazing beach and ocean views with lovely greenery. The service was completely top tier, water and refreshments were brought promptly. And for the BEST part.. the Food was nothing short of extraordinary. The crab cake Benedict was phenomenal and I highly recommend. read more

Made reservations in advance and asked to be seated outside on the patio. Arrived on time and was taken to our seat right next to the sand. It doesn't get much better than that, when you are literally eating next to the sand and can see the ocean and Waikiki in the distance. The service was great and the food was also delicious. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes and a side of their Portuguese sausage. The pancakes were fluffy and light with some lemon curd in the middle. It tasted so good! My mom had the regular breakfast but loved the potatoes and crispy bacon. To drink I had the garibaldi which tasted amazing. It had Campari and grapefruit juice in it...so good! Light and refreshing. Would definitely come back here again. Prices were on the higher side but you are obviously paying for the ambiance. I don't mind paying higher prices if the food and service are excellent and during our visit it was. read more
