Had high expectations but the meal itself was just average. The snapper had a fishy flavor and not much going on in terms of sides and sauces. The panko swordfish was the best entree. Solid shrimp cocktail. The lobster pot pie is so gimmicky, and ruins the best parts of the lobster (not having to deal with shell) and a pot pie (crust). It's a pricey meal, which is expected for a Michael Mina spot, but I also expected a bit more in terms of food and flavor. It does well with ambiance and service. Beautiful location overlooking the lagoon at the Four Seasons property, so it's a good place to go if you're staying there but otherwise not worth it.
Wanted to try some place both my bf and I have never been to so we decided to check out Mina's Fish House located at the Four Seasons - Ko'olina. We ordered crudo, basil stuffed buratta & local tomatoes for appetizers. For our entrees, he got the grilled kampachi and lobster whipped potato on the side, and I got the Miso glazed sea bass which came with baby bok choy, mushrooms in a ginger dashi. The buratta was not my favorite, but the presentation was nice. The miso glazed sea bass in the dashi was pretty good. It felt like a chazuke, except there was no rice. The dashi was good and I wanted more. Lol. I had a bite of the lobster whipped potato and that was good. Had good sized lobster pieces. Good first time experience.
Wow 10/10 experience! We came here for my birthday dinner and it was truly an unforgettable dinner. We were staying at the Aulani right next door to this restaurant and walked right over. We requested a table near the ocean and the view was amazing! The restaurant is outdoors with a nice breeze. The food and service were amazing. While this is a pricer restaurant, it was well worth the price. Everything tasted delicious. We ordered more than was is pictured.. but the seafood tower came with fresh oysters, crab, lobster, shrimp, dips, and more. Wow this was SO fresh and good. We ordered the Lobster Pot Pie to share and this is a dish that is a must. It was flavorful, had good chunks of lobster, and the star of dinner. Entrees were the filet mignon and lobster mash potatoes. The filet was yummy, but wow, the lobster mash potatoes.... They did not skimp on the lobster. Big chunks of lobster! The drinks were also so refreshing. The waiter sang me a happy birthday and brought out a bday dessert as well. It was just the perfect dinner for our staycation.
Came here for a fancy anniversary dinner with all our kids. The service from start to finish was absolute 5 star. We got seating outdoors with a gorgeous view and watched the sunset as we dined. Our drinks were made well. All of our food was good and we enjoyed it, although nothing we ate was memorable. I understand that this is a highly rated restaurant at the four seasons but I did find that some of the menu items were priced pretty extreme and a lot of the food although very good did not meet the expectation that came with the tab. Overall we still had a great experience. Our waitress was so sweet, the setting was so gorgeous. Weather was beautiful as well.
My husband brought me here last night to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. When he made the reservation he asked for a table near the ocean and that's exactly what we got. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was stellar. Make sure that you make reservations as it was full house. People were standing around near the entrance waiting for tables. Michael Mina is famous for his Lobster Pot Pie. The last time I had it was at Stripsteak, one of his other restaurants. I knew I wanted to get it again, so I ordered the Lobster Pot Pie $128. My hubby ordered the Sesame Roasted Half Chicken $47 and Prime Beef Lettuce Cups $26. I tried their zero proof Parrot Punch (POG, coconut, fresh pineapple) $11. This drink was so good and it was served in a cute fish cup. They started us off with complimentary bread. It was naan bread with hummus. It was ok. The bread was cold and soft. The lettuce cups came out next. It was terrific. It had pieces of crispy rice to give it a crunch. The satay sauce just tied everything together. It wasn't spicy at all. The entrees came out after. My Lobster Pot Pie was assembled table side. I appreciated the presentation. The waiter was explaining the process to me. I liked when he said that they two onions were they eyes and the green beans were the antennas. This dish was fantastic, especially the truffle brandy cream sauce. My husband loved his sesame chicken. He gave me his wing portion and it was yummy. I loved the sweet glaze. Since, we were celebrating our anniversary, we got a complimentary dessert. It was a piece of their chocolate caramel crunch. It was like an elevated chocolate mousse cake, so good! I had a wonderful time. They validate for valet service.
Inside the Four Seasons hotel. Very similar menu to another Michael Mina restaurant/Bungalow in Tiburon, CA, with the lobster pot pie.... They do have the addition of free bread pockets (same as Zaytina a Jose A restaurant) with 3 great sauces. Great food and service, however the prices and local also reflect this overall.
Went for dinner but, really the reason was for the tako. Appetizers. The food and service is on spot and really the best. Its expensive but this is fine dining you won't be disappointed.
My wife and I traveled to Hawaii for our honeymoon. This is where we ate the first night and boy did we start off with a bang. My wife and I are already fans of Michael Mina, having eaten at several of his other restaurants, one of my favorites being Bourbon Steak in Nashville. Everything here was a wonderful. Great service with delicious food and drink. Also the view of the beach was an amazing way to start our honeymoon. We ordered the small seafood tower to start. For our meals we both enjoyed a seafood entree. My Ahi was cooked to perfection. Obviously since this is a Michael Mina restaurant it wasn't inexpensive, but I believe the service and quality of food we got was 100% worth it. If we ever find ourselves in Ko Olina again, you can be sure we will be eating here again.
Was able to dine in on a Monday evening without an advanced reservation. Wait time was minimal. Ambiance was great. Right next to the pool in front of the Four Seasons Resort. Staff members were all nice throughout the evening. The food was OK... most dishes were salty unfortunately. Orderes the spam fried rice for baby, but spam was very salty and the rice was OK. Was bummed since each dish was pretty costly as anticipated. Thought it'll taste better, and not so salty. Portions were average. Pork belly- lots of lard. Spanish octopus was also salty... but the salsa/sauce made it better. Overall, good ambiance and service, but not worth it for me when it comes to the food/food selection.
I wish I could eat here everyday, if only I lived in Hawaii. Phenomenal staff. We were treated with respect and we arrived with a service dog. They were accommodating and kind about it. Our server was a wealth of knowledge, funny and provided amazing service. The food was well made! I couldn't stop eating because everything was so yummy. Cocktails were great. I highly recommend this restaurant!
1st time dining here. Stayed at the tele for PMAH Memorial Day Weekend conference. Hotel was excellent and Mina's Fish House was equally amazing. Ambiance - Check Service - Check Food - Check Drinks - Check Deserts - Check Well this restaurant checks all the boxes for me. We tried a variety on the menu: Smoked Marlin dipi w/chips Octopus Peppers Crusted Curry Ahi Night special - swordfish Cocktail drinks - served right. Not watered down and tasted excellent. I'd like to give a shoutout to Mary, our gracious server for the night. Excellent service. Actually beyond 5 stars. My wife read about the furikake Ice cream and wanted to order it but it was actually from another restaurant on the hotel. Nonetheless, Mary went out of way to serve it to us. It was very good BTW. To those who do not know furikake, just give this a try. You'll like it. We'll be back for the steak!!! Thank you for an excellent experience.
Celebrated 3 anniversaries at MFH (1 year, 4 years, and 40 years) and we enjoyed our experience. Since we were staying in Ko'Olina, we walked over to MFH who accommodated us in our choice of table for our party of 6 ahead of time and had a gorgeous view of palm trees and ocean at sunset. While I would have chosen the Mina Fish House Experience (prix fixe $125), the experience requires full table participation. Instead, our party opted for à la carte ordering served family-style. Here's what we had: Ono amuse buche House Flatbread Broiled Spanish Octopus Ono Tataki - a favorite served with a vinaigrette truffle sauce Prime Beef Lettuce Cups Charred Broccolini Garlic Duck Fat Fries Kona Kanpachi (whole fish) char-grilled Ahi Katsu Curry NY Strip 14oz (for our non-fish eating friend) Potato and Leek Soup with poached lobster (for our non-fish eating friend) Although the food was A+, we took exception to the NY Strip because it was dry, gristly, and not cooked to order. However, when we brought it up to our server, she without question had it immediately removed and ordered another one. After trying the second one, the meat tasted like it should and the vegetables were even better than the first one. For drinks: Liquid Sunshine Mai Tai Piña Colada Pickleback Paradise - mocktail For the best deal, the Mai Tai is your best bet because it's larger than most drinks, has a good amount of alcohol, and tasty. Liquid Sunshine also had a good amount of alcohol. Our Pickleback Paradise drinker liked his drink so much he ordered two. Surprisingly, the Piña Colada wasn't up to par as it was grainy and not fully mixed. We should have returned it, but didn't. For dessert: Malasadas with ice cream Ube Cheesecake Additionally, each couple received a complimentary piece of chocolate cake to celebrate our anniversaries During our meal, service was attentive and personable and the atmosphere was enhanced by the live music which made for a lovely celebratory dinner.
Service from hostesses to servers are all top notch. Ask for the special, vegetarian menu, it's filled with delicious entrees. This is always a great choice for special dinners or occasions.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the attentive and friendly staff, beautiful ocean views, creative seafood dishes, and well-made cocktails.

Best Birthday Dinning Experience Ever! Outdoor seating was wonderful. Service was outstanding. And the Food? Wow!! Sashimi, Duck Confit Spring Rolls, Onion dip, and the Char-Broiled Opah (Moonfish) were so delicious. Service **** Ambiance **** Food **** Restroom **** read more
Mina's Fish House was such a beautiful dining experience! The service was absolutely exquisite, and everyone was so attentive and welcoming. The restaurant itself has a gorgeous setup with an amazing view, making it such a special place to dine. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, and the entire experience from the food to the atmosphere and service was incredible. Definitely a beautiful spot for a special meal in Hawaii! read more

Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. Great service. Food was just ok for us, which, given the price, brought the experience down. My son loved the steak with foie gras, but we also had the duck fat fries, the steak and lobster, the octopus, the pork belly and the fried rice. Everything but the foie gras was good but not great and it was pretty expensive so the expectations were higher. read more

The excellent concierge at the Four Seasons Club Lounge made our reservation and the food was good. I wouldn't say it was amazing. I ordered the Oprah Moonfish that came with rice a roni and collard greens. My wife ordered the sea bass with bok chocolate. Both were good. We also ordered the duck fat french fries. Those were great! Service was very good, but the ambiance was a little too chaotic. Tooooooo many kids screaming and running around. I think they all came from Aulani. read more

It was our Christmas Dinner and I enjoy coming here . It was a fast paced night for them and it was busy. We arrived early just to make sure , they called us and then had a little faux pax and then we had to wait some more . Not an issue we ended up with a great table down by the water . Quiet and cozy . It was a little cold , but tis the season. We got the Christmas menu and that's where you pick one item from each area...with up charges for non menu items. It's all good with me , next time I'll go with the regular menu . The Christmas Menu was good , but a little different selections ... I'm happy , but want to explore a little more . The service was good , and the beautiful view... I'm happy- they validate parking complete use the valet.. otherwise it's hard to park if you drive... we usually stay at Disney or the Marriott... not this year though. All booked up in October lol. Will I go back ? Yes . And I will explore the island more ... it was missing something , I can't put my finger on it... I've been traveling a lot lately. Vegas , Bangkok , Saigon , Tokyo. And have had some amazing meals - with 5 star service ...so it's a great place - I'm happy here ... and will be back read more
We decided on dinner here on a whim-no reservations at prime dinner time. The bar however had seats available and we were fine sitting at the bar. Our barkeeper JT was out of this world! Busy, but incredibly attentive. I don't drink alcohol, but loved some of the vessels that cocktails come in, so he put my mocktail into the vessel I asked for. The bread and hummus was delicious, my husband had the blackened cod, and I had the ny strip. We also added garlic rice. Thanks to the chef for changing the Brussels sprouts to broccoli for me. The views were still amazing from the bar, and the open concept is truly Hawaiian. A lovely dinner with fantastic service. read more
We came here for a date night and were seriously blown away by the food and service. We went with the market fish experience, which includes several appetizers (marlin dip, octopus, tomato salad, shishito peppers), of which the stars were the shishito peppers and octopus (some of the best octopus we've had). For mains we had the snapper and the filet, both were cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Our server Megan was outstanding - she really deserves a promotion, Her service was so genuinely kind and thorough. She really elevated the experience for us. The ambience was calming and warm, and even though it was raining, we felt it was cozy and comfortable inside. Overall Mina's is a 10/10 - highly recommend! read more
Came here for a romantical dinner and Mina's didn't disappoint! We were seated at a lovely table with stellar views of the lagoon. We had a fantastic server - attentive without being overbearing. Courses were timed well and we never felt rushed. Each dish was distinctive and so balanced and delicious! We enjoyed our stay at the Four Seasons and Mina's delivered! read more
I've been eager to try Mina's Fish House for some time now--it's definitely on my must-visit list! We stopped by for dinner, and note that reservations are highly recommended. We were quickly seated and greeted by our friendly and helpful server. They gave excellent suggestions for dinner and drinks, and after much thought, we enjoyed: - Smoked marlin and Maui onion dip - Mina's lobster pot pie - Chili miso glazed black cod Every dish was utterly delicious! It's hard to pick a favorite since all of them were full of flavor. I'm a fan of Mina's and we will definitely be back soon to try more items from their menu. read more

Stellar experience! Service is amazing and the food is soooo good! We stared with great generous cocktails. The complimentary naan and hummus is so light. We started with the tuna tartare made table side in the classic beef tartare style with raw egg and toast. So fresh! We shared the lobster pot pie for the table. They only make a limited number per night but this is a Michael Mina speciality. A whole lobster with potatoes onions and carrots in a creamy sauce and topped with puff pastry. It is served table side and worth it! The tomato salad was amazing with the best dressing. The Mahi mahi prepared in the spicy light fried manner was so so good. The special shutome fish was prepared with a spiced phyllo crust on a bed of lobster mash potatoes. Think fish and hops elevated! It was amazing and such a huge portion. read more
Food and drinks were great. Vibes and environment were great. Service was great. But this place is super expensive. Definitely not an everyday type of restaurant. Special occasions or if yoi have a lot of money. Came here only once. Well see if I ever try again. read more

Amazing dinner spot. Perfect views of the ocean. They have a kids menu that's pretty good (we had grilled fish, broccolini and pasta and ice cream/brownie). For the adults- we tried a few fish dishes, broccolini, spam fried rice, peppers, and salad. Everything was so delicious. read more

We had a memorable dinner at Mina's Fish House at the Four Seasons. The setting, service, and food were definitely impressive, and the overall experience felt special. That said, our total came to around $750 for four adults and two toddlers, including tip, and at that price point, we expected every dish to be a showstopper--which wasn't quite the case. WHAT WE ORDERED.... Lobster Pot Pie: Visually stunning when it first hits the table with a golden, puffy crust--but then it's quickly deconstructed, and from there it kind of loses the magic. It was good, but a bit of a letdown. The flavor didn't quite match the grand presentation. Whole Red Snapper - Ginger & Scallion Style: One of the standout dishes. The fish was buttery, tender, and impressively boneless, which made it easy to share. It came with a generous portion of sautéed green beans that were crisp, garlicky, and delicious. Spam Fried Rice: A comforting side dish that paired nicely with the fish. Not as mind-blowing as it was described, but still solid. Wild Mushrooms: Packed with flavor and one of our favorite sides... get this! Summer Heirloom Tomato Salad: Fresh and light--mostly arugula and whole tomatoes. Nice, but not particularly memorable. Smoked Marlin & Maui Onion Dip: Great flavor, creamy and smoky, but the house-made taro chips were way too thick. The fish dip was super good though and our toddlers loved it! Garlic & Duck Fat French Fries: Absolutely incredible. Fragrant, crispy, and addictive--the moment they hit the table, they stole the show. BEST FRIES EVER YOU NEED TO GET THIS! Mocktails - Parrot Punch & Sunset in Paradise: Both were delicious and came in fun, tropical glass. Desserts: Piña Colada Shave Ice: Super tasty and full of tropical flavor. Fun to eat and one of the most memorable parts of the meal. Ube Cheesecake: Light and airy--more like a Japanese-style cheesecake. Pretty good. Caramel Chocolate Crunch: Super rich, but super yummy--like a giant See's Candy bar. The problem with this dessert was that I couldn't eat more than one small bite because it was so rich. Pro Tip: Sit indoors if you're dining around sunset. The sun can be intense and directly in your eyes at the outdoor tables. There was live music that added to the upscale but relaxed atmosphere. The staff was warm and friendly, though our server Ryan seemed a bit stretched and didn't check in as often as I was hoping for. read more

So glad we were able to try this spot on our recent trip! I made a reservation about two weeks prior. This restaurant is located at the Four Seasons hotel, and you do need to valet your car. However, parking is validated through the restaurant which is nice! From walking in, we were greeted by the kind hostess, and then sat at our charming little table overlooking the ocean. They have their two-top tables set up a certain way so everyone dining has a nice view and that was a small detail that was greatly appreciated. We came around 6pm, so it was beautiful timing to watch the sun set and the ambience change into night mode as they started turning on all the outdoor lights and tiki torches. Such a wonderful ambience which elevated the dining experience. For our meal, we had wonderful service - from our server to the bussers and all the staff, everyone was so attentive and on top of everything. This place knows how to provide a wonderful service experience. Now for the food & drinks - we tried quite a few things on the menu! We started with cocktails, I can't remember the names of the drinks what we ordered. The first drink was a lime/cucumber/chilli drink and the second was a gin/lemon/lilikoi/lychee drink. Both were pretty good. For appetizers, we started with the hamachi (my favorite dish of the entire night), the octopus (another wonderful dish), and the market sashimi (very good). I'd easily recommend all of the appetizers we tried, but HIGHLY recommend the hamachi! For our meal, we shared the Ahi Katsu Curry - this was good, but just heavy after we had already eaten quite a bit! We got a side of their wild mushrooms as well, and if you're a mushroom lover, highly recommend trying these out! If you're looking for a nicer dining spot with great ambience, wonderful service and delicious food, this is your spot! We had such a wonderful time here and I'd definitely come again on our next trip! read more
We have dined at other Mina's restaurants and were excited to try the Fish House on this trip, so we made a reservation two weeks before leaving home. We had to wait 20 minutes after our reservation time. It would have been nice to have been offered a cocktail while we waited (in the bar), but we were told to "wait" with no time specified. We were seated on the main deck, not the lower one, which appears to have better ambience. We ordered three cocktails and a glass of wine, two apps, pork belly, and the Hamachi crudo, the Kampachi fish for two, and the ahi curry katsu, a side of lobster mashed potatoes, and one Malasada dessert for $425 for three of us, not including the tip. The food is good, we prepared and presented - a bit more casual than Ama Ama next door at the Aulani, so it is not a fair comparison. (Another reviewer compared the two) It is a different experience. Ama Ama is a more elevated experience. The impression from our server was that she was not that knowledgeable about food and wine, especially wine. What saved the evening was Jesse's live music. Great selection of songs, talented on the guitar, and had a good voice. I'm glad we tried the Fish House, but I'm not sure I'd return. It is overpriced for what you get, and the service was not amazing. Keep in mind, we are being very critical here. read more

Do you still have whole fish option on your menu?
