HAU TREE Kaimana hotel restaurant had started doing afternoon tea service called Mu'umu'u and Mimosas serveral months ago, once every month . Now they are doing it every Saturday. 55 dollars per person in a private air conditioned room with spectacular ocean views. Even when the air conditioner is blasting on high, the way that sun hits you, it gets very hot. Mary and I had a lovely table off by the side windows had amazing views of waikiki and kaimana beach ocean waves. We had a very lovely man playing acustic guitar the whole time! He did local Hawaiian music and lots of classics. I forgot to get his name. His voice had a very good vocal range and he has good talent! I've managed to try every single spot for tea on our island. This is one of my top favorites! Our server Malia was fantastic. She was so sweet. She started us off with a mimosa with choice of pineapple or pog. I choose pog (pineapple, orange and guava). She brought over hobbs from kauai tea collection. I picked mamaki tea. My friend got spicy chai. However, I wish they had a floral tea pot or floral tea cups. I loved how there were local ladies that had their mu'umu'u attire. Liberty house (Macy's had taken over the local department stores) was one of the best places to get a mu'umu'u. We started off with these vanilla scones with whipped butter and jam. The jam was tangy and not too sweet. This jam should be for sale. It was onolicious! Malia brought over a tier koa wood set of our sandwiches and sweet treats. Because my OpenTable had preferences of my allergic reactions to certain nuts and coconuts, they did alter mine a little more. I would say they're very accommodating! Mary loved the goat cheese puff and I loved the cucumber sandwiches and we both thought the guava tart was the winner! Honestly, everything was super good. We were full and left very satisfied. Parking is free valet or street parking and of course, be sure and tip the valet. We highly recommend and afternoon tea service is every Saturday. Mahalo open table for recommendations
Great atmosphere on the beach away from the chaos of Waikiki with friendly service and great food.
This is my first stop for dinner at sunset whenever I'm in Honolulu. Have a great menu. They particularly good with salmon. The view is always spectacular. It is a small restaurant so reservations are important especially at sunset.
We celebrated our friend's engagement here! It's small yet intimate. We were able to enjoy the sunset and have a wonderful meal. We shared an assortment of appetizers and my the standout was the lomi hamachi - delicate fresh fish with a tomato vinaigrette. Fresh local fish ($42) - nicely seared and went well with the corn succotash. The size was quite small for the price. The menu is pricey but well worth it with the staff, food, and views.
Located in Kaimana hotel. Valet Parking is free during HH or $10 per 3 hrs with validation. Right on the beach. You look out and see the ocean which is great! You pay for the atmosphere. Came for HH. They have limited HH menu with only a burger, salad and fries. Got one of each. The dressing on the salad was delish. Though the description said there was supposed to be baby gem and kale making up my salad, I was given romaine lettuce. Spoke with the waitress and they remade my salad. The burger has a thousand island dressing on it which I got on the side. Burger was average. Fries were served with the burger which it didn't state it was on the menu. Those were served piping hot but the herb fries were already cold. Mixed Drinks typically are $20 which is steep but during HH it's a little less. Service was so so. I kept having to flag them down to fill water, etc.
$100 for a piece of frozen Costco fish and some hamburger helper. $10 to park, sat us in the bar for a birthday, brought the person next to us a birthday cake and brought us nothing. Views was trash, lobby was trash, go somewhere better.
The best kale spinach strawberry feta salad with salmon that I've ever had! We sat at the bar because the weight was really long for a table. The bartender was great, super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back!
We went there for dinner hoping to sit by the beach, however the only thing available on open table was a counter/high top option-- which is where we sat. I wish the set up was better here -- the chairs were so low you couldnt see over the counter top out to the beach (unless you are over 6ft). The drinks were good, our server was nice & seemed knowledgeable but his recommendations just didn't seem to hit (or maybe the menu didn't speak to us). We tried the tempura fish with hot honey & harissa and were not impressed. The fry on the fish was good but there wasn't any flavor and the sauce was unevenly distributed so we couldn't even enjoy that with every bite. The focaccia was perfectly cooked. nothing on the menu spoke to us so we ended up leaving after the fish. Two appetizers & two drinks cost us $100. Probably wouldn't be back for food but would go back for the view & drinks!
This place was a great choice for a nice dinner. The interior is so beautiful and it feels like an elevated island experience. The food and drinks are a little bit on the pricey side but it was very delicious. We are all fighting over who had the last piece of burrata and tomato. We all had a nice time and I definitely recommend this place!
Booked a birthday dinner at Hau Tree for the sunset and beachside views! You can book 30 days in advance online which I recommend if you're looking for the specific sunset time to time it right. Very limited parking and we had to valet it which came out to only $10 with restaurant validation. Service was friendly but felt slow. Food was decent but I just wasn't impressed. I've never complained about large portions but why were there so many dang potatoes as the side it was so wasteful and didn't taste that great either. The sunset beach views were great but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. It didn't hit the spot for us. Drink: - liliko'i margarita (has tajin like rim) was limey Food: - chip & rainbow caviar - really good! - lomi hamachi - kale & spinach salad add seared ahi - very small ahi - 12 oz washugyu striploin with side: roasted potatoes (do not get this side and it was way too many see pic) side: roasted eggplant
I'll start with the good. This restaurant is incredibly beautiful, from the ocean view to the ambience and decor, and the waiting area is lovely as well. If you're going to be dining past sunset, make sure you book bar/lounge seating or outdoor seating, as for some reason the indoor seating is rather bland and sparsely decorated. It's probably pretty during the daytime, but you can't see anything out the windows past sunset. Luckily, the hostess was able to move us to lounge seating, which was really sweet of her!! We ordered the Rainbow Caviar to start and the Strozzapretti and Lamb Chops for our entrees. Unfortunately, there was a strand of blonde/white hair in the lamb chop that I only discovered once it was in my mouth, and I had to pull it out of my teeth. My sister and I both have black hair. When we first told our waitress, the only options she offered us were to refire the dish or to take it off our bill. We asked to refire it, because otherwise we would be left with only one entree. However, upon second thought, I felt it didn't make sense--why would I pay full price for a dish that initially put someone else's hair in my mouth and would now require a longer wait? When the refired dish came out, I asked the server, who was not our assigned waitress, if we would still be seeing this on our bill given the circumstances. He responded saying he's not warranted to answer those questions and promptly took our dish away again. When our waitress came back out, and we told her that the server took our dish away, she asked us why. We didn't know why either. She said she had to ask her manager. Finally, when she brought out our dish, she let us know that her manager had taken it off our bill. We said thank you and apologized for the hassle, explaining that it just feels gross to eat someone else's hair. Then, she made a comment that nobody in the kitchen has blonde hair. It felt like we suddenly had to defend ourselves. I just don't quite understand the need for that comment--whether the hair was from a chef, a server, the wait staff, or even a guest walking by, it has no bearing on the situation. A customer dining at your restaurant should never experience anyone else's hair in their food, and if they do, then it should be taken care of with respect. They shouldn't feel accused because no one in the kitchen is blonde. By the time everything was said and done, our other entree had gone cold and it was just an unhappy experience. We also saw that other diners who were celebrating something received a small surprise dessert--but we did not. To note, our waitress asked in the beginning if we were celebrating and we said yes, we were celebrating our graduations, but we did not receive any dessert. I'm not sure if this was due to the hair issue, but it felt a bit disrespectful to treat us differently than other diners. This is not to blame any one individual, and we ultimately left a 22% tip for the hassle. But I urge the management to set a policy in place for these situations--one that actually places care in the customer without all the hassle.
From start to finish, this was an exception experience. Ocean/beachfront seating on their lanai, with woven lanterns hanging through out. Tiki torches really helped set the vibe. You absolutely need reservations for a table on the Lanai for dinner. Prime times are for the sunset. We were seated immediately and our order for refreshments wasn't long behind. What we ordered: ** a bottle of Chianti wine ** the focaccia bread served with a balsamic whipped butter. ** Mido Caesar salad, , my husband and I split the salad. ** fennel sausage orecchiette ** kahuku golden tomato strozzapreti ** Complementary Guava cake for our Anniversary The focaccia bread was warm and soft. The balsamic whipped butter was delightful. The kahuku golden tomato strozzapreti pasta dish reminded me of the pasta dishes I ate while visiting in Italy. It is a light and flavorful dish, the sweet tomatoes were bursting with flavor. My husband ordered the fennel sausage and orecchiette pasta dish, this was also delicious. Our server was very friendly and prompt, adding her favorite items from the menu. They served us a light and fluffy complementary Guava cake for our anniversary. We loved the whole experience.
Okay, this place is stunning. Plus it has such a great view along the beach! The food was pretty good - the focaccia and rainbow dip was to die for. Pasta felt plain unfortunately. Service was so good. We were so obvious we were tourist and just came by to celebrate a nice occasion and our waitress was so accommodating, even covering our pasta plates while we took a break to take some photos on the beach!
We started with two mixed drinks, For the price, they were loaded with alcohol, and not watered down which made me reasonably happy. I ordered a modernized old fashion with tequila and a Octopus appetizer which was great and I highly recommend. I was split between ordering the wagyu and lamb, however since my girlfriend didn't like lamb I ordered the wagyu with the bernnaise sauce. I think the idea is to modernize the food for our new generation to attract them. The bernnaise sauce just didn't work with the steak and wasn't made well. I think utilizing three dipping sauces with this steak would have been better like a soy glaze, au jus demi glaze, and a chimichurri. The last dish we ordered was the strozzapetti pasta. It was good and the size was adequate. read more
Brunch at Hau Tree was a perfect way to soak in beach vibes on our last full day of vacation! We came in without reservations and sat at the bar with an ocean view. We ordered shakshuka, a pastry trio, French press coffee, and the standout Ube cinnamon rolls topped with candied macadamias. The rolls were insanely good and the ocean view made the higher prices totally worth it. We spent around $96 here. Would recommend it! read more

The food was average in a gorgeous beach side view. We had lamb chops, ahi salad and roasted squash. The best was the squash. Service was quick and waiter was attentive, checking on us every 20 mins. read more
I got the shakshuka with sourdough for brunch and it was lovely! At first it didn't look like enough, but it was actually quite filling. There was squash mixed in there too. A nice touch! The main attraction to this restaurant is the ambiance. It's situated right on kaimana beach and has a direct view of the ocean. Loved it!! read more

"We came to Hau Tree for their Thanksgiving dinner and it was easily one of the best holiday meals we've had on island. We started with the chicory salad, which was fresh, crisp, and well-balanced with sweet notes from the fruit and crunch from the candied nuts. The sun setting over the water made the whole first course feel elevated. The family-style main course was outstanding -- the brown butter turkey breast was tender, the kālua turkey added a unique local twist, and the mashed potatoes and cranberry compote tied everything together. The Portuguese sausage stuffing was rich, flavorful, and one of the standout items on the plate. We also got a side of roasted Brussels sprouts which were roasted perfectly. The holiday cocktail menu was a great addition -- the Kaimana Colada and the Mele Kaliki Martini felt festive without being overly sweet. Service was warm, attentive, and perfectly paced between courses. Overall, Hau Tree delivered a memorable Thanksgiving experience with great food, great atmosphere, and thoughtful touches throughout. read more
Dined at Hau Tree for a girls dinner and it did not disappoint! Hau Tree is located in the Kaimana Beach Hotel at the end of Waikiki/start of Diamond Head. They do offer valet for $10 but you should be able to park on the street or at the park nearby for cheaper or for free. We made a reservation on Open Table a week before and got seated easily when we arrived. Unfortunately we weren't able to make it for sunset, but the ambiance was still beautiful and we were lucky to get a table close to the view! We started with drinks - I got the cold brew martini which was delicious and well made. Their signature drink is a lava flow but can be swapped with different bases to make it more unique like ube flavor and more. A bit on the pricey side but it is waikiki and a hotel restaurant. For food, we ordered a bunch of dishes to share: -Salmon Poke Cones - came with four cones in a big wood sculptural piece. It was a nice presentation - but on the smaller side. -Hamachi Kama - came with two cooked hamachi kama pieces. They were a nice size, crispy on the outside and had great flavor. I was expecting a smaller serving so it was a good deal in my opinion! -Focaccia - comes with four pieces, a bit small and nothing special -Tomato Strozzapreti - good flavor and a good vegetarian dish -Fennel Sausage orecchiette - i really liked the flavor of this one if you are a rosemary fan (if not, maybe stay away from it) -Fried eggplant (side) - 10/10 this was almost the star of the show! we all loved the flavors and the serving size was generous for a side. Our server recommended and we were so glad we got it. Between four of us, we were stuffed at the end! I thought it would be a little overpriced for the food since it is a hotel restaurant but I was really surprised and really enjoyed the meal. The ambiance is so peaceful at night and it was great to catch up with friends and enjoy our meal. We didn't feel rushed at all which was nice too. Would highly recommend for a date night or girls night out! read more

Great service, good food, yummy drinks. Had CAVIAR app - had a sour cream / onion sip underneath, served with root chips. Quinoa salad was good. Exactly what i expected. BUCATINI with chicken was perfectly al dente and tasty, and CRISPY SKIN SALMON cooked to perfection. Recommend all dishes. Cool vibe, beautiful lobby, great VIEWS, but it was intensely stuffy and hot in there, esp with no breeze. Most of us were fanning ourselves all dinner read more
We celebrated our anniversary at this place and made reservations (lanai seating). We heard how this place has great views during sunset so we got our reservations at 5:30pm and it did not disappoint! We decided to try the five course meal and it included the following: King salmon poke cornets Lomi Hamachi Fennel Sausage Orecchiette w/ focaccia bread Washugyu Stirloin w/ Sophia's rice Pistachio joconde, namelaka calamansi curd, pistachio sauce Food was amazing and for a five course meal, food was plenty and I was full at the end of the night. Our server gave us 3 type of desserts which was very generous. Our server definitely took care of us and she offered to take our picture which was sweet of her. Loved everything about this place! read more

Came to visit again because I can't come to Waikiki and skip this place. An unbeatable view, delicious food, drinks and kind staff. Tried the crab eggs Benedict which was AMAZING. My hubby had the 2 egg breakfast which he thoroughly enjoyed. He had the Irish coffee which was yum and I enjoyed the cold brew martini! (Probably my favorite coffee martini ever at this point. Perfectly balanced and delicious). The only thing that disappointed us was that we dined here for our anniversary breakfast and there wasn't an acknowledgement of that even though we indicated that when we made the reservation. Aside from that it was an amazing experience as expected. read more
I came for a nice solo beach session for their happy hour and they also happened to have some nice live music. Their chips and dip were great, very decadent with all of the roe. Also got a bottled kombucha there that was very refreshing. The staff are also very attentive and nice, and the beach view is pretty unbeatable! read more

Nice outdoor seating for breakfast and brunch with views of Kaimana Beach - recommend getting an early reservation so you can see the views before the beach gets crowded. The breakfast/brunch menu has a variety of savory and sweet options, and the dishes are portioned well for both individual size or sharing if you want to try a variety of things. We ate here twice during our stay at the hotel and left satisfied overall. Dishes we tried: - Loco Moco: better on our first visit compared to the second, but still tasty; the beef was well seasoned, and I enjoyed the upgraded take on a Hawaiian classic with the added sweetness of the caramelized onion, acid of the pickled red peppers, and crispy garlic (I think there was more garlic the first day we tried it which really added to the flavors) - Ube Cinnamon Roll: the frosting captured the nutty sweetness of ube, but it is definitely rich so recommend it for sharing! - Chia Breakfast Parfait: chia pudding served in half of a papaya and topped with fresh berries; perfect for a light breakfast. The granola that came on the side was a bit on the stale side, but I was really ordering it for the fruit. - Cured Salmon Benedict: forgot to take a picture, but an average benedict - good but not out of this world For drinks, they offer brewed coffee, tea, or French press so if you're looking for lattes or specialty coffee/tea drinks you'll need to stop by Sunset Provisions. read more
Went here to celebrate my birthday after seeing this place on TikTok. The views while we ate were breathtaking and sitting under the tree while we ate by the water made the whole experience magical. Food was delicious I really enjoyed the octopus! It was prepared very well. I enjoyed the drinks I had throughout the night and the fish was very fresh. I have no complaints. We had an amazing server who was super friendly and made sure to let her know if we needed anything throughout the night, food was brought out super quick and she answered any questions we had. I finished the night with a complimentary dessert and I believe it was guava flavored 10/10! Highly recommend this spot if you want great food with a beautiful view. read more
Hau Tree is located in Kaimana Beach Hotel. Parking is either valet or you can park along the street and pay the meter. We went with the meter as there was limited to no self parking available. The meter wasn't too bad. Came here on a weekday with a couple friends and the wait was about 15 minutes for the lower beach level seating, which isn't bad. We sat next to one of the trees which was nice. Did feel a bit awkward sitting feet away from people on the beach enjoying their tanning. But there was a nice view of the water. Started our meal with a couple drinks - mimosas and a lychee martini (until we meet again). The martini was surprisingly good even though it had egg whites in it lol. You cannot taste it at all and taste more of the lychee! We decided to get three different dishes to share - eggs benedict, shakshuka, and a classic loco moco. The eggs benedict came with a side salad but no dressing (which was odd for us) and a side of potatoes. The potatoes was seasoned well, but the eggs benedict was okay. The shakshuka was my favorite. I like to think of it as a deconstructed pizza with the tomato based sauce. It was paired with the best kind of bread - not to hard and not too soft. The loco moco was also okay. I do like that they used a thicker beef patty, but it was a bit dry. The garlic bits was a nice touch and added good flavor. All in all, Hau Tree is a nice spot for brunch with your girls if you're looking for an outdoor setting. The service is friendly and attentive. It is on the pricey side, but it is Waikiki so that can't be helped much. I would like to come again for dinner to try a more romantic experience. read more
The views are next level here as you're side by side to the beach and when the sunset hits it's magical. The food here was spectacular we decided to splurge for a date night and were not disappointed at the rich flavors. I will say the portions were the only downside when I got my steak. I think aside that I'd go back again and try the brunch! The number one thing we thought stood out at Hau tree was the kind, friendly, and attentive service. That alone made me want to come back to be able to enjoy our dining experience. read more
A touristy bar and restaurant without being too touristy. A good location to watch the sunset, sip tropical drinks and dine on fresh finds. I enjoyed their freshly made pastas here. They have that "chew"! Sweet service by the hostesses and the server. It is an outdoor venue so be prepared for nature on some nights to pay you a visit, attracted by the table lights. It looked like flying ants/termites, but they didn't bite. read more

Our server was exceptionally kind, friendly, and welcoming--truly made us feel right at home. The views were breathtaking, and the food was outstanding--both in quality and presentation. Even better, the prices were surprisingly affordable for such a fine dining experience. I highly recommend this place--10/10! read more

Unless you're white don't expect to sit near the tree. We had reservations and noticed many empty seats in the tree area. Us and couple of other people of color!! Were sat in this room on the side, no view of the tree, which was the whole point why we came to this restaurant to add on the waiter girl had a weird attitude lastly, we ordered a ice cream for dessert and they took literally 30 minutes to bring it out $10 for the worlds smallest scoop of overly salty ice cream DO NO NOT COME HERE !!! Not worth it ! read more

Incredible ocean front setting. You're basically dining on the beach with a stone's throw away from the wash of the waves. Sadly this restaurant hasn't been the same since new ownership took over a little more than 3 years ago. We've dined here several times since and the most consistent thing is its inconsistency. Average food. Service was very polite and professional but very slow and uneven. Learning from past experience, we ordered a round of sparkling wine when the waiter first approached the table but it still took 15 minutes to arrive. We ordered a 2nd round of sparkling wine after ordering dinner. They came out after the appetizers arrived and the bottled wine opened. The 2 salads came out then the serving utensils arrived 5 minutes later. My lamb chops were on the rubbery side almost like the meat was steamed and the chimichuri had an off putting bitter after taste. Crab Tagliatelle very under seasoned, lacked flavors except for a pronounced presence of butter. King Salmon perfectly cooked. Nice and moist interior with a nice flavorful crust. The portion was literally half of what it was when we dined there 7 months ago. Crispy Spanish Octopus with miso béarnaise was the best dish of the night. Super tender octopus with a velvety, nutty slightly sweet miso béarnaise. Great spot for date night but not a good value for quality of food and service. Happy Eating!! read more
What a disappointment ! We have been there in 2021 for dinner and the food was good and tasty. We were happy to be back. Light bites are not a happy hour menu, everything is full price. The food was average. The hamachi was good but the burger was really disappointed. For the price we paid, we expected a better quality bun and not Mac Donald's frozen fries. At least the cocktails were really good as well as the service. I do not plan to go back read more
We came here because it is the restaurant under our hotel. The view is fabulous and they have wonderful seating outside. We made reservations, which I thought meant we'd be near the sand. We got a seat but it was not near the view. This seemed a little misleading for making a reservation 5 days in advance. Now don't get me wrong, the food was phenomenal everything we ate was fabulous. However, the portions and the price are not aligned. If we did not order an appetizer, side, AND dessert, our meal would not have made us even remotely full. To start we had the focaccia bread, it was light and fluffy. The cheese and garlic with their brown butter were really delectable. The side of rice was really yummy. You could tell the rice was handmade. My husband had the steak and while it was delicious...it was almost $60 for two thin slices of meat and a little bit of potatoes underneath. I had the catch of the day and it was also delicious but again, a very small piece of fish with a little macadamia nuts. The pistachio cake was not great. It was okay. The bill was over $200 with drinks and we did not leave full. The drinks are STRONG. But with that they also don't taste great. Good quality, horrible portions and highly expensive. read more

Came for dinner and drinks-- incredible ambiance, I would return for the trees alone. As for the food, it was rather hit or miss. Drinks were tasty though- very unique pina coladas! I ordered the Ube pina colada project which was amazing! Definitely on the sweet side from the Ube. The color is stunning! Ube gives the drink more of a heartiness which I enjoyed. I'm curious to try their other flavors. For started out with the focaccia and the king salmon poke cornets which came arranged on a piece of sculptural driftwood- stunning and very on theme (and delicious)! Focaccia was good- warm and I liked whatever they added to the butter. For mains we tried the kauai prawn campanelle, kahuku golden tomato strozzapreti, and the pistou bucatini pastas. We also ordered the king salmon and the washugyu striploin. Nothing particularly stood out. The kauai prawn campanelle and the kahuku golden tomato strozzapreti honestly tasted the same- basically plain buttered pasta with either tomatoes or shrimp. I liked the topping on the tomato strozzapreti but I wished there was more of it to give the dish more texture and flavor. I enjoyed the pistou bucatini the most, but this dish was still lacking flavor wise. The steak was a tad too tough given it is wagyu. I enjoyed the coconut cake a lot and would get this again! I like how light the frosting is- not too sweet and not too heavy. I usually love chocolate but wasn't the biggest fan of the chocolate cookies in the cookies and cream sundae dessert. The icecream was good though. We came for a late dinner around 7:45pm. Service was very good though a bit slow. Perhaps we were all just hungry and eager for food. Overall, I would definitely return for drinks and small bites. I would highly recommend the Ube pina colada project and the king salmon poke cornets. However, I would likely not return for dinner again. I have heard good things about their brunch and would love to come back during the day! read more

hau tree offers beach front dining along kauna'oa beach. we were able to walk in to be seated after a 30 min wait. i love the aesthetic of the place. food was also delicious but not personally worth the high price ~Food~ focaccia: 9/10 very fluffy bread and butter fennel sausage orecchiette: 9/10 the sausage adds the perfect saltiness for the pasta king salmon: 7/10 salmon was cooked well but nothing special. there was such little veggies with the salmon the dish was underwhelming ~Service: very friendly and attentive ~Cost: $$$ around ~$30 per entree ~Parking: hotel valet parking, bring cash read more

Pasta and focaccia was amazing. The brown butter was a big key hit with the focaccia. Also it had an amazing view right next to the beach. Was a great date night spot. Also our waiter was great and checked up on us very often. Overall great experience! read more
The first time I dined here, I was in awe of the view. What's not to like about ocean front scenery? The tasty food was a bonus. They sure have perfected the eggs Benedict! The second time I dined here, I tried their adult beverages which paired well with our delicious meal. If you like coffee, their Kunia Coffee Kona is fabulous! I'm not usually into oysters but these succulent Kusshi oysters had caviar on top of them! So extra :) The caviar with lemon creme fraiche was also very good! I was really impressed with their local ahi nicoise salad. Quite generous with the seared ahi, over the tender summer potato salad and curled endive. The delicate dressing of tomato and onion went well with the soft boiled egg. The dessert was incredible! Very nice pistachio joconde with namelaka calamansi curd. This was a delightful way to end our meal and paired nicely with our bottle of sauvignon blanc. I especially appreciated the wonderful service we received from Dalton. He was attentive and accommodating. More employees should be as pleasant as he is :) Thank you Dalton!! read more

I was staying in the hotel so I had chance to eat three meals. Good quality tasty food but small portions for the price. They don't have to be so overly reduced. Certainly all that I tried was very good. Service attentive and friendly, mostly a very young cheerful staff. Very pleasant atmosphere and music, with the highlight being the beach view and the Hau trees in the patio. A solid choice for a celebratory dinner. read more

We made a reservation on the same day and service was fast. We got lanai seating but there is also tons of inside seating as well. Loved the lanai seating vibes and even though it was sunny there was plenty of coverage where it was still pleasant and no beaming sun on you while eating. Water refills were on point and the breakfast food was great. We got the side of potatoes, loco moco, and calamansi pancakes. We celebrated our anniversary and they surprised us with a cute little anniversary cake slice. Definitely are gonna come back and try dinner next time! read more

Breakfast on the beach what more can you ask for. The French Press Kona coffee wakes you up. Order the fresh pineapple juice next and finish with some prosecco. I wanted a slice of the banana bread without ordering a whole loaf and they delivered. Next up the salmon board. Just delicious and flavorful. This location is great looking out on the beach. It's on my rotation of places to visit when I'm in Oahu read more
Love the foods. But my cocktail "Until we meet again" was a little bit too strong for me love it for the name of the drink. 9|10 Excellent service and well deserved 20% gratuity. My newlywed couple chose this place for their wedding dinner and we all enjoyed it. Too bad they couldn't fit everyone in the same or possibly near table to each other. We were seated separately and pretty far apart from each other. read more
The Hau Tree restaurant is located inside of the Kaimana Beach Hotel. We went here for breakfast and were seated promptly with an ocean view. This place is known for their benedicts, so we got the Cured Salmon Benedict and the Old Bay Crab Benedict. Out of both, the cured salmon benedict is definitely the move. Don't forget to order their freshly squeezed POG juice which is combo of passion fruit, orange and guava and a French press Kona coffee. Totally worth the price tag. read more

Celebrated our anniversary at Hau Tree Hawaii, and it was the perfect spot for a brunch date! The weather was gorgeous, with ocean views that made everything feel extra special. I had the Avocado Toast, Eggs Benedict, and Ube Cinnamon Roll--all absolutely delicious: Avocado Toast: Fresh, creamy avocado on perfectly toasted sourdough--simple and satisfying. Eggs Benedict: The eggs were perfectly poached, with a velvety hollandaise sauce that tied it all together. A must-try! Ube Cinnamon Roll: Sweet, soft, and packed with rich ube flavor--definitely worth saving room for! This was my top favorite!!! Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. Perfect spot for a special occasion or just a beautiful brunch by the beach! read more

Sort of, there isn't "gluten-free" options on the menu but there's fish, and salads. I would also recommend letting your server know as well.
Are there any vegan options?
What time do they start serving dinner pls?
The capacity of the private room?
Is there a kama'aina discount?
Is there valet parking?
Yes at the hotel. There is also ample parking in the street as it's at the end of town.
Are walk-ins welcome?
For walk-in, the best bet that seems to always have some seating is the gorgeous/comfortable bar. For the lower patio, reservations encouraged.
Is it possible to make modifications to the menu for gluten allergy? Mahalo
I don't think that's possible.
Hi just wondering if there's still happy hour available, if so where can I find the menu for that, and what are the hours?
Hi Jacy, I posted pics of the dinner and drinks menu back in April. There is a QR code on the menu. Maybe that will give info on possible happy hour specials?
How do you make reservations? I used to be able to online but it's not showing up on Resy anymore
Aloha!! We currently are using the Tock reservation system!
How's the parking situation? Did anyone know the rates at Kapiolani Patk
They have valet parking, and it may have been $10.
Are small dogs allowed at the lanai?
Yes, they are now allowing dogs well behaved
I noticed a few tables had brought their own wine (good wines, likely for a special occasion) - what is the corkage fee?
No idea. I was told you can't do this.
Is the old Hau Tree Menu gone? This is my husband's go-to birthday or anniversary place for years and always ordered the same thing. Sad to not see that menu anymore.
Yes it's gone, but better. Chef Chris Kajioka (Miro) along with Chef Alan (Le Bistro) are serving up amazing dishes. He'll be pleasantly surprised! Enjoy
