Stage Restaurant & Amuse Wine Bar- where the scene is always upscale, romantic, and elevated. One of my absolute favorite go-to restaurants and wine bar. I love that you have different choices depending on what you're in the mood for: 1) dine in their restaurant and enjoy their full menu or their new five course tasting menu 2) enjoy relaxing at their bar and lounge and nibble on their amazing bar menu AND/OR take a gander at their selection of wines and enjoy tasting wines around the world I've done both and can attest that each choice is a 5/5 (does that make this review a 10/10 then?). Their dine in restaurant is classy, upscale, and totally feels fine-dining, but you'll be surprised to learn their pricing is super reasonable. I would recommend doing their five course tasting menu ($125 per person). I recently did this and WOW it was so good! I also want to mention that their set menu comes with an amuse bouche and intermezzo which actually makes it a 7 course meal. For the price of $125- totally worth it. The portions are also a great size. Their set menu came with: Amuse Bouche - so yummy! I always love a good bread starter. "Miso Caesar" Salad - surprisingly really refreshing and tasty. Bristol Bay Jumbo Scallop - perfectly cooked scallop and the sauce was YUM. Miso Butterfish - who doesn't love a good risotto with miso butterfish? tender, flaky, and just delicious. Intermezzo - refreshing and a lovely addition before the heavier entree Herb & Honey Mustard Lamb Chops - I'm usually not a lamb person, but this was perfectly well seasoned and yummy. Dessert Du Jour - light and very lovely end to the meal. This set menu is totally worth the price and I will definitely come back for this experience so I can try the wine pairing next time! As for their bar and lounge, which is what I typically frequent, is so worth it. Lovely for a nice date night. Don't be shyed away from the fact that it's a "bar" menu, the food is delicious and perfect to share with your loved ones. Honorable mentions are the fried cauliflower, stage fries, shrimp or mushroom pintxos, and their italian meat or truffle mushroom pizza. I usually just order a glass of wine, but while you're hanging out at their bar, you can also get a wine card and take a stroll through their wine selections and pick and choose wines to taste. They have many different wines that are not on their regular menu, so I definitely recommend trying the wine bar at least once! Overall, Stage Restaurant & Amuse Wine Bar is one of the best spots on Oahu for me. Their service is also consistently top notch- friendly, professional, and personable. Oh and another reason why they are one of my all time favorites- I hosted my Wedding Party in their lovely Bamboo Room, but that is a review for another day ;-) (hint hint... it was an amazing experience- thank you to their amazing Event Coordinator Joy for all her help with such an awesome night). read more

We love coming to Stage, especially Amuse- wine bar side. The food is always amazing, drinks delicious, and service is always impeccable. We love it so much that we decided to have our wedding reception here! So if considering for any kind of private event, please read on... We Highly recommend. We booked a private event in their Cupola Gallery and absolutely loved the entire experience. They allowed us to come in the evening before to add our own decorations, which we were so grateful for. We didn't have time to decorate on the day of the event, and this meant we didn't need to hire someone to do it for us. They worked closely with us on our beverage menu and were happy to accommodate specific cocktails, as well as welcome drinks served to guests upon arrival. That level of flexibility and collaboration was so appreciated. The food was phenomenal. We ordered three appetizers for a self-serve station--fried cauliflower, French fries, and Korean fried chicken--and all of them were outstanding. It tasted exactly as good as it does when dining in the restaurant. For dinner, we chose the three-course tasting menu from their event packet, with guest selections of miso salmon, NY steak, or vegetable pasta. The steak was incredibly tender, the salmon was perfectly cooked, and everything exceeded our expectations. Dinner included a starter salad, and dessert was the third course. Instead of plated service, the cheesecakes were displayed on our dessert table alongside additional cakes we ordered for a self-serve dessert station. We ordered three quarter-sheet cakes--strawberry shortcake, lilikoi, and vanilla buttercream--and they were so delicious we honestly wish we had ordered more. The staff was amazing throughout the event. Service was timely and thoughtful, and our main server, Crystal, was incredibly attentive to both us and our guests. Even though this is not a traditional wedding venue, we felt completely taken care of. For example, when the self-serve appetizers came out, they brought my husband and me our own pre-made plates to make sure we were eating too. They also packed up cakes in to-go boxes for us when our guests did the same, so we wouldn't miss out. If a guest tried to order something not included on our menu, the staff was happy to accommodate--but always checked with us first. We also want to give a huge shoutout to Joy, the sous chef and our main contact for the event. She was incredible from our very first emails through the night of the event. She was responsive, helpful, full of great ideas, and genuinely invested in making our night special. Many of the ideas she suggested were things we ended up using, and our event truly wouldn't have been the same without her. Our guests were talking about the food, drinks, and the space for days after the event. We were so extremely satisfied that we're already talking about what other types of events we can host here--we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you're considering a private dining event, rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, birthday party, or reunion, this is absolutely the place to do it. Incredible food, a beautiful space, and truly wonderful people. read more

Amazing Dining Experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the ambience was beautiful -- the perfect combination for a great night out. We started with the escargot and the ahi appetizers, and both were outstanding. The sauces paired with the light crunchiness made each bite a perfect blend of flavor and texture. For the entrée, we had the macadamia nut-crusted mahi, which was cooked perfectly. The crust added the right amount of crunch, and the sauce tied everything together so well. Dessert was the apple Dutch pie, and it ended the meal on the sweetest, most satisfying note. The cocktails were also on point -- they paired perfectly with all our dishes. A special mention to our waitress, who took such great care of us. She checked on us throughout the meal and made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back. read more

Had a wonderful Valentines Day dinner at Stage. Exceptional ambiance that changes. Courteous service and exquisite dishes. I experienced the Valentines Day set which consisted of 5 courses. I dont drink so I did not pair the coures with alcohol. I savored each bite. There is ample parking for the building. Always fun to browse the furniture store as well. read more

What a fun cool yummy experience! The food was amazing, every bit was perfect! The ambiance was so artistic and unique. Loved all the different seating areas! Service was five s!! The duck special was probably my favorite . The wine bar area was also fun, you can buy a wine card and be able to pour 1oz to a full glass, I love trying new wines so having a 1oz of several was so much fun! But truly I cannot even explain just how good the food was, small menu but you really can't go wrong with what you eat! We ate so much this was one of the first times we couldn't even get dessert. That's how good our meal was!!! read more

Not my first time here--I've actually been to Stage a few times, including once on a quick work break just to enjoy the wine bar (haha). This time was special though--we came to celebrate my best friend's birthday! We were seated in a cute little area with a lovely view... of cars . It was my best friend's first visit, and since she's a big wine girl, I figured Stage was the perfect spot to take her. We started with a few appetizers and ended up sharing the Beef Wellington for our main dish. As always, everything was delicious. The service was just as amazing--Chieko (hope I spelled that right!) was an excellent server. She checked in with us just the right amount and really made the experience that much more enjoyable. I love coming here for the chill, low-key vibe, the beautiful interior, and of course--the wine selection! Can't wait to come back again. read more

The food and service is great. High quality ingredients and our server was very attentive and informative. Great decor and low lighting. A good setting to socialize with an intimate group or just a date. I loved the escargot, scallops and the elderberry panna cotta. Everything else was great but those were memorable. I highly recommend and will come back for the set menu. read more

This is a nice restaurant that I haven't been in a long time! Very airy and spacious trendy restaurant. I came with a friend for a retirement seminar! I had the Grilled New York steak medium rare just how I like it! Served with a mushroom demi glaze, Yukon potato puree and asparagus. We also had an Island Green Organic salad with greens, cucumber, radish, grape tomatoes, croutons in a creamy miso vinaigrette. Lastly, there was New York cheesecake mixed berry coulis. Vanilla bean with whipped cream and oatmeal crumble. Service was very attentive! read more

We normally eat and drink in the bar when we come here, but we decided to try the restaurant and I'm so glad that we did. This restaurant has the coolest decor ever. It's such a fun vibe with all of the unique designs. Plus, everything that we tried on the menu was delicious and my champagne flight had extremely generous pours. The service was exceptional and this is my new favorite restaurant for sure. I can't wait to go back. A nice plus is that there's plenty of free, safe parking in the garage below. read more

3 of us enjoyed the happy hour during 4-6pm. Only 5 items on the menu. Except pizza, is so so, the other 4 are really delicious. The restaurant is quiet and well decorated. As we only order foods in happy hours menu, so we only can sit outside. For order dinner menu, you can move to inside seats. If come late after store closed hours, you can park your car in parking lot of furniture store then take lift to 2nd floor. Otherwise you are not able to find the door of the restaurant. :) read more

I have been looking for a passable fine dining restaurant since I arrived in Honolulu some weeks ago, with limited success so far. I saw Stage online and was impressed by the menu and some of the reviews I decided to book for 8:00pm, but wandered over a bit earlier so I could relax with a drink beforehand. The entrance is a little disheartening, through a carpark and furniture store, but I have been through worse and the entrance to the bar and restaurant on level two was refreshingly welcoming. The bar was quite empty at 7:30pm which dimmed the mood somewhat but I figured perhaps the restaurant would be more lively. After waiting for a while in an empty bar to be seated I was spotted by the waiter who asked if I had a reservation. I informed him of the booking I had made but also that I wished to have a drink at the bar beforehand. He promptly picked up two menus and escorted me to my table at the restaurant. I awkwardly asked if I could have a beer at the bar to which he replied, 'ahh sure', showed me to the bar, and promptly left. After sitting at the bar for another minute or two I was brought two bar menus buy the bar staff from which I selected a beer and took in my surroundings. A modern place with a fairly good selection of whiskeys but no draught beers, however the available beer selection while small is appropriately diverse. Oddly enough the wine bar seemed to have an option where one can purchase a card and flit around the various wine taps to sample the offerings. Novel enough, and if I was there for an afternoon of Italian Sofas and Californian Zinfandels I would be grateful for the convenance. In the context of 'fine dining' however it was giving 'bougie Burger King' vibes, which the (only) group of young women in the corner had clearly taken to like office ducks to grape water. I then proceeded to dinner. At first glance the dining room is very nice, good lighting, lovely flow and nice furniture. Some of the art looks like it was taken from the finest brothel in Ohio, but I am from Australia so what do I know. The 2010s dance music overhead clashed with the acoustic set in the bar but fortunately the gig ended as I sat down at my booth, whereupon I sank so far into the seat such that the table was lay at my sternum and I found that when I leaned back in the chair I sat about three feet from the edge of the table. Not wishing to crunch for the entire meal I asked if I could be sat in a proper chair, to which the waitress said 'perhaps this helps' and proceeded to stuff the void behind me with cushions. This flashback to dinner at Nanna's concluded, I proceeded to order. The waitress proceeded to inform me of the specials, not rattled off with ease, but recalled without the aid of notes. I opted for the (special) Crab cakes crostini and Miso Salmon, This, another beer, and a viognier with my Salmon concluded my request. Once my beer arrived I looked round the restaurant, which sadly was almost completely empty at 8:10PM on a Friday. As I began to ask myself what people with friends do in their spare time, I was awarded with a surprise amuse bouche. It didn't rock my world but it was a lovely ceviche (I think) and some sort of fish egg curry thing (my apologies to the restaurant but I cant remember what the waitress said as we had just gone [back] to war in the Middle East). The tasty amuse bouche concluded I waited for my appetizer, which came out at just the right time. I note that the kitchen was not taxed at this point but to their credit they did not rush courses out one after the other, which sometimes happens when things are slow. The Appetizer was again, fine. It was tasty, but not fine dining. The crab cakes were, good but not very flavorsome. Absolutely fresh and good food, but just no 'pop'. The main was, disappointing. The fish, while well cured, was quite pedestrian and not helped at all by the sides. Miso and Brussel sprouts should work, but to me they were just too far from each other, buk choi might have been better perhaps. And then the sweet corn, just mixed in like an unpaid extra, no lines, no effort, just filler. Finally the odd arraignment of Shitake mushrooms in intervals round the edge of the plate made it look very culinary collage. To be fair the food was, all in all, tasty, but not fine dining. The bill, however was very very reasonable, especially considering the amount of good local food used. My advice: If you don't go to al a carte restaurants often or are a working man in your 20s and want to impress your date, this place is ideal. If you are looking for that moment that makes you put down your cutlery and question your understanding of metaphysics, this isn't it. There are flashes of brilliance (the amuse bouche for example) but the rest of the meal just fell flat. I may come back for lunch sometime, probably when I am neck deep in Ottomans and Pinot Noir. read more

Our all-time favorite restaurant will always be The Stage Restaurant. From anniversaries and birthdays to Valentine's Day, and New Year's, this is where we celebrate our most special moments. Every visit reminds us why we keep coming back, exceptional food, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality. Today, when I called to reserve for Valentine's Day, the level of care and kindness over the phone was truly above and beyond. We absolutely love the food, and we truly appreciate the service. Always a wonderful experience. read more

We recently had dinner here over the holidays to celebrate my daughter being home. I've heard a lot about Stage restaurant. It is located in the Honolulu design center, and you're able to park in the building for free. We made reservations for dinner on a Friday night, and it surprisingly was not crowded. The restaurant is very spacious, and has artistic feel. I started off with a beet salad, and then we all ordered entrées, including butterfish, mahi-mahi over risotto, and the salmon special. Portions are on the smaller side, but all the fish entrées, we're all cooked perfectly, not overcooked or dry. We finished off the night with a sorbetto dessert along with the chocolate macadamia nut dessert bar. All the food was beautifully presented, and aesthetically pleasing. Our waitress was Crystal, who provided us with excellent service throughout the meal. Would love to come back to try some of their other dinner entrées. read more

I really don't want to give it a bad review but I was just genuinely disappointed by my experience here. I arrived with my partner at the restaurant for our anniversary dinner. The lighting is dark but is nicely complimented by the decor and lighting within. The waiter is very nice and patient with us, explaining to us the menu and such. HOWEVER, there was a sweet 16th party going on right in the staging area within the restaurant, although it was "closed off" it was still quite loud, especially whenever the door would be opened or closed. We just happened to be seated near the door, so it was extremely distracting to constantly hear music blasting. To imagine, it sounds like a bathroom at a high school party (with similar hip pop type music). It just really didn't fit the elevated and calm evening I had hoped for. Before I get to the food, I just want to preface that the noise did really ruin my food experience too, so maybe I was a bit more overly critical on some dishes. Food: - Grilled new york steak. 10/10. This was delicious, my partner raved about the sauce that accompanied the steak and I had to scold him to not lick his plate haha. - Grilled Pork chop: 7/10. It was fine to me, my partner liked it but I didn't care much for the pineapple compote that was with the pork chop. Additionally, despite its smaller portion size, there was still two decently large chunks of fat that both my partner and I deemed inedible (although some may enjoy that). It is cooked very well though, tender and juicy. The brussels sprouts were also very flavorful. - Tres leches: 8/10. My friend recommended this heavily to me so I ordered it. I was honestly slightly disappointed being so excited when I ordered it. It's good, but I feel that it isn't as wet as a tres leches should be. I had to explain to my partner that it shouldn't be as cakey as it is and it should be way more wet and moist. - The free brownie dessert was a nice touch for my little sweet tooth. I feel like it had a lot of potential that this experience did not live up to and I would love to give this place another shot in the future. read more

Stage Restaurant - Charcuterie board and truffle fries - New American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love The Stage's new concept of sharing plates. Best to do your research before you go. Luckily my husband had checked out an article in the StarAdvertiser so we had a pretty good idea of which dishes to order. You should definitely solicit advice from your server. Some dishes are larger than others. Everything was delicious. Not too many choices of wine by the glass on the menu. A little odd since it's connected to the Amuse Wine Bar but we were able to find a pretty good white wine blend and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Desserts are more generous than some of the main dishes so we overdid the ordering but (one for each of us plus a complimentary anniversary dessert) was a bit much but everything was delicious! The decor is great for a date night, nice conversation with friends and they have a large table for a small group. Very nice atmosphere! read more

We were extremely disappointed with all the dishes. On a Friday night, there were only two tables in the restaurant, which was already concerning. After the appetizer, we considered leaving but chose to stay out of courtesy. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal did not improve. Unfortunately, the restaurant was overpriced, and all of the dishes were extremely salty. Several of us felt unwell afterward, which really affected our evening. I would recommend reconsidering before making a reservation. Please note that this one-star rating is not intentional (Actually no star). A rating is mandatory to submit feedback, and this selection was required to proceed. read more

Stage Restaurant - New American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been here a few times, and somehow the service seems to be deteriorating with each visit. Tonight my partner and I intentionally arrived 30 minutes early to a very vacant lounge and bar - a few people seated. We asked if we could have a drink at the bar, but were denied the ability to do so, and were told that we needed to wait until our entire party was here to be seated. Mind you - this place is dead. You're turning away $40 more for people who are going to continue to take up space in the establishment anyway? I'm in shock. I'd also like to add that we made this reservation but an hour or so before our arrival. There was no shortage of time slots available to book. My first experience here was great. But honestly with each visit, I find myself leaving a little more jaded and this visit may just be the one that puts me over the edge. Very few positive things left to say at this point. I will say the desserts are always creative and fantastic, and the cocktail selection is good and fairly priced- but that's about all I can think of. Such a shame. Do better. The chefs deserve it. read more

We went last night and did the tasting menu and it was fabulous! We aren't typically ones to do a tasting menu but every thing sounded delicious so we went for it. And so glad we did! My wife did the wine pairing as well which was superb and complemented each course. When we first got there things took a little bit of time with the service, but I think it was because they were short staffed and got slammed right before we got there. Everything got better as the night went on and things died down a bit. The whole staff was also very nice the entire time. Lastly, the place is like an abstract art museum with all the decor. Super fun! read more

Food, service and ambiance was positive. Best you make a reservation through the open table app. Caleb earlier to request for a reservation and was called back stating there were no openings.

Food was delicious. I personally would have like my steak more seasoned but nothing a little salt can't fix for me : ) The ambiance is super cute from the moment you walk in. Very unique pieces of furniture that they have. The service was good I just wish the host was able to accommodate the seating I asked about considering it was our first time and visiting from out of town.

It's located in the furniture store and back of the Amuse Wine Bar. It definitely has a very interesting look. The service was okay - our waitress was new so it seemed like she wasn't comfortable yet. The Ahi Dynamite was excellent. The Hamakua Ali'i Mushroom Salad wasn't our favorite. It had too much goat cheese and that was overwhelming. The Grilled Certified Angus New York Steak was pretty good. Another steak dish was I believe a special of the day. It was good but not as good as the New York Steak. I didn't care for the Japanese pickles on it. They didn't go well with the steak. We also enjoyed the variety of wines. Overall, this was a nice place to eat sometimes, yet not as fancy or upscale as some might think. read more

Another 5/5 experience at Stage! I love this place! We had Miso Caesar Salad, Hamakua Aliʻi Mushroom Salad, Misoyaki Butterfish, Special: BBQ Spiced King Salmon, and Chocolate Haupia Ice Cream Cake with Chocolate Brownie [Vegan]. Everything was stellar, as always. Stage is one of my favorite spots. I just love the whimsical decor, the creative menu (that constantly changes so I always find new favorites), the presentation of the dishes, and the full-bodied flavors of the food. I'm a huge fan of the desserts here - they're always really imaginative and delicious. We got to sit in the cool couch seats by the window this time with a pull-up table and perfect people watching views. My fiance is super picky on eating out (his go-to line is "I could make this at home for way cheaper" lol ) but Stage ACTUALLY got his stamp of approval! We also love how easy parking is. You just park in the Inspiration building on the bottom floor. We'll most definitely be back! read more

We were extremely happy and satisfied dining here for dinner last night. Interior design is so chic and very aesthetically pleasing. We made a reservation through opentable for 8:15 PM; requested to sit by the window. They have their own parking lot, which is the same parking lot for Inspiration. We did not need to get valeted last night. Parking was open for free. ( though sometimes it might not be free, not so sure ) We were happy with their service, very accommodating. We ordered: -Ahi Dynamite ( this dish was so delightful! it's definitely a must ) -Grilled NY Steak ( tender and savory ) -Charred Brussels Sprout ( crunchy and yummy ) -Pan Roasted Sous Vide Pork Tenderloin ( tender indeed and so good! ) -tres leches cake ( amazing, not too sweet and loved the texture ) Overall, if you're looking for a nice date night.

We both order own kind but we didn't expect that come with all 3 glass of wine each person lol not bad at all for $25 each For food we've order Caesar salad, Chip&Fish, Big glory bay Salmon and New york steak. All the food was great! Only the Salmon is alright. After that we order house made Ice-cream for sharing and they gave us a Lilikoi cake with happy birthday word & candle to my husband for free! Thank you so much. The service was really nice! They only have a few server but they're still doing them job very well. Only one thing that I would like to complain about is the restroom but don't get wrong cause ours table is pretty inside inside but the restroom is in the front of the restaurant right there by you check-in so for me who is drinking I don't like to walk that far lol read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants so I made a reservation for a party of 5 to celebrate a birthday for my guest from the mainland. Everyone was so excited until we got to the host stand. He informed me that I had made a reservation of 5 at the bar and not at the restaurant. We were crushed, and confused as I showed him my reservation on Open Table which displayed the dinner menu. I also received a text confirming my reservation a day before reiterating the birthday occasion. No where on the reservation that he showed the bar! The host said that they were full and that we could eat at the bar. Really? Is that how you treat your loyal guest? I asked to speak to a Manager but no one attempted to come out. The host came back and told us if we wait 30-60 minutes he can seat us. At this point we didn't have any alternative but to wait. Finally, we were seated at 8:05pm. By that time, everyone was no longer excited. The food, ambience and service were great but there was no recovery on how long we had to wait and how we were treated. We ordered a few drinks and appetizers, 3 salads, beef Wellington, 2 steaks, pork chop, pasta and desserts. The bill was $370 before tip and I felt like I had beg to be fed. Please fix your reservation system to clearly differentiate the bar and the restaurant so no one else will ever have to experience what I had to endure. I have dined at so many exclusive restaurants in Honolulu but my biggest mistake for the evening was choosing your restaurant. This was the worst experience I have ever had in any restaurant anywhere on the island of Oahu!!!!! read more

I gave this restaurant a chance over the last 8 months and the service and quality of the food has been great up until tonight. I usually sit at the bar since it's only me dining. I go there so frequent that the servers know me and I tip them well. Their last seating is at 9pm since they close at 10p. I literally was 3 minutes after 9pm when I walked up to the front. The host said it was after the last seating time and he couldn't seat me. I asked him if he could check with the manager and make an exception since I was only a few minutes late and I am a regular there. He checked and came back and said he couldn't do anything. I get it. Establishments have rules for a reason. What makes a business rise above the rest and gain customer loyalty is when they make exceptions to the rule especially when it will create an extraordinary customer experience. This is especially true in an industry with heavy competition and slim margins. To me, service is just as important, if not more than the quality of the food. They just lost my business tonight and probably a lot more since I will tell this story to many. read more

If you're looking for a higher end dining experience, you should consider Stage in the Inspiration furniture store. It may be an odd placement for a restaurant, but considering location and ease of parking & accessibility, it has become our go-to place next to Ala Moana shopping center right in town. Also, the decor and furnishings are ultra modern with views of the busy intersection of Piikoi and Kapiolani. The food has always been excellent. Our group had two pasta/shrimp, two duck and miso butterfish--all very delicious! We shared salads, Caesar, tomato and mushrooms (three salads were perfect for 5 of us to share). Also, we added the escargot and garlic bread. The desserts were phenomenal, probably close to the best in Honolulu. Again we did share all the desserts, but we didn't feel stuffed. The wine was ok. We had to send a bottle back and the somolier quipped that it is what it's supposed to taste like. Okay then.... Besides that and the lack of refilling our water glasses, our server Madison was very attentive and friendly. We'll be back because the food is delicious and the location is very convenient. read more

What a cute amazing restaurant above Inspiration. We had dinner before the Carrie Underwood concert and our waitress was very accommodating knowing we had to leave by a certain time. We ordered a bunch of things to try (pictures included) and everything was delicious. The garlic loaf was so soft and cheesey. The Beef Wellington was special and the meat was tender and juicy while the puff pastry was perfect. I would highly recommend this place. We sat at the little love seat facing the intersection and it was just nice and intimate. The pianist was also entertaining mixing pop culture music with Disney. We played "name that tune" throughout the evening. read more

I came to Stage a long time ago before COVID, and it was a very memorable experience. Tonight my family and I decided we go back to stage to, "celebrate" a farewell to one our siblings leaving for the mainland. ***This is what we ordered **Appetizers *Mentaiko Bread Sticks (10/10) They gave us these mentaiko bread sticks for free! It came with this white sauce and was topped with cherry tomatos! It tasted really good! I wish I knew what kind of sauce it was. *Ahi dynamite (10/10) This was the perfect appetizer! It came with island ahi sashimi and it was dressed with togarashi mayo, kabayaki, tobiko, radish, and bubu arare!! Super light and the flavors blended perfectly! It left me wanting more! *Torched hamakua ali'i mushroom (10/10) Very aesthetic plating for this salad! At first I thought it was just going to taste like dirt, because the mushroom salads I've had before at other restaurants would normally taste gross, but this changed my mind!! This dish came with Spanish onion, goat cheese, soy reduction, crispy garlic, and arugula. If you were to eat everything together it would make this perfect harmony of flavors in your mouth! This dish did not taste earthy either! **Palate cleanser before the Entrée *Blood Orange sorbet (10/10) This Palate cleanser was REALLY GOOD. I forgot the other flavors they added to the sorbet, but I know blood orange was one of the main flavors. I loved how after eating this I didn't have this onion aftertaste in mouth from the salad. So it was perfect to have before moving onto the Entrée! **My Entrée *BBQ spiced kurobuta pork chop (11/10) This was probably by far the best pork chop I've ever had! This pork chop was dressed with a pumpkin puree, mustard, brussels sprouts, and dijon cream! The pork chop was SO juicy! And if you eat the pork chop with the pumpkin purée it tops it off perfectly!! Honestly, if you are like me, I normally eat meat with something starchy or with rice, but the pumpkin purée was a perfect fit as it was filling after every bite! **Dessert *Frozen kona geisha coffee pie (11/10) This coffee pie WAS SO GOOD. Words cannot express how much I indulged myself with this. I normally don't eat sweets, but like I said this was AMAZING. You just have to try it for yourself! But if you are wondering this dish has a chocolate crust, manjari chocolate crunch, burnt hazelnut custard, vanilla bean whipped cream, and nutella powder! *Lilikoi creamsicle (10/10) This was VERY GOOD as well! The presentation of this dish had Lilikoi sorbet sitting on vanilla ice cream so it looked like a small creamsicle! At first you may think that it's a weird combination of flavors, but it paired perfectly together! *Warm dutch apple banana (8/10) This dessert came with a cinnamon oatmeal crumble, horchata ice cream, and applewood smoked caramel sauce! I wasn't a big fan of this, because personally I don't really like an apple pie, but my family thought otherwise! Overall, WONDERFUL experience. If you plan on dining here food will take time for it to come out, since they want you to enjoy each and every course for what it is. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back here again for a special occasion! read more
