One of the most exceptionally creative and tasty places to eat in Honolulu. Ignore the touristy drag of Waikiki and come right here straight away! The vibe is chic without being pretentious or cold. Service is fun, efficient, and savvy. You’ll want to get a reservation on weekends to avoid waiting and there isn’t much space to wait if you do choose to wait. Pretty much the only detractor being the area it’s in could be nicer, but it’s where all the trendy restaurants are so that’s what you get.The interior is well decorated and welcoming if a bit dark. I saw well behaved kids here with parents but it’s mostly for business people and couples I would wager. Open kitchen, not too noisy given the small number of total diners.The food is exceptional. Unique takes on classics and totally new inventions are on the menu each day. Delicate Michelin level presentation of flowers and jams and little bits and bites of spectacular flavors adorn every plate. If anything the foie gras is decadent and overtly rich, which may put off some. The jam balanced it well. Bread was crunchy, flavored well, and nearly perfect, if a bit on the sharp side: would have aimed to soften the crust a bit. Salad was a wild new take on salad frankly and must be tried. Desserts were molecular gastronomic creations featuring the most enticing foam-like cream I had ever had. The colors on everything are just so vibrant it’s clear lots of thought goes into plating.You simply must come here!Do not forget to check out Podmore, their sister restaurant!
Amazing restaurant and experience, highly recommend if you can get a reservation. Imaginative cuisine flawlessly executed, every dish spot on in terms of flavor and balance. The bar was accommodating and able to pull off riffs on classic island cocktails, and happily helped make the non-alcoholic spritzers a bit sweeter to suit our tween childrens' palates. Certainly the best meal we've had on Oahu and have our kids begging to go back...
Absolutely excellent food and service. The food was incredible - fresh, creative, looked great and tasted even better. We visited with our 21, 18 and 16 year old and they all loved it. A big hit by our Australian standards
Impeccable. Superb. Exquisite. These are not words I’ve ever used to describe a restaurant and truly this was the best meal I’ve eaten in my entire life. Hands down. This restaurant should be on every top 10 list in HawaiI and the greater United States. Not only are the dishes truly a culinary masterpiece but the service is incredible. The wait staff opens the bathroom door for you when you walk up to go to the bathroom. When my partner used his napkin to wipe off some brown sauce, someone showed up next to our table immediately to offer him a new one. The wait staff is kind and polite and answers all and any questions. The dishes come out in a very timely, but not too rushed fashion.My partner and I went for our 2 yr anniversary and I couldn’t imagine a more amazing evening. The restaurant greeted us with a card at our table and views right into the kitchen where we could see everything they were doing. We ordered the 007 and the Freddie for drinks, which both had incredible flavors. For food, we ordered the Smoked Ahi Cigars, the Beignets, the Citrus Cured Hamachi, the Sea Scallops, Potato Gnocchi, and sides of the marinated mushrooms, and the Spaëtzle. Everything tasted amazing. I’m not going to go into it more because you must go try it yourself. We didn’t get dessert as we were too full, but even then our waitress brought us glasses of champagne to celebrate. I can’t emphasize enough that if you are visiting Oahu, you MUST go here. Truly an experience I will remember for a lifetime. I would come back to Oahu just for this restaurant alone. Thank you again Senia!
Very creative, good service. Food was good but falls short on the price/quality ratio. Some dishes felt lacking in flavor complexity.

Everything is delicious & service is fabulous! Truffle blue cheese beignets, bone marrow, beef cheeks, agnolotti. And desserts
WOW. That’s the only word I could think of when eating that incredible dishes at this restaurant. The food here is just on a different level. Even though a couple of the dishes I wanted to try were sold out, the dishes I did order were so delicious. Haven’t had a dining experience like this since I was in Italy. A MUST TRY when on Oahu. Just spectacular. 11/10
Highly recommended! Absolutely delicious and creative food, great cocktails, excellent service and amazing atmosphere. We had the scallops, gnocchi, bone marrow, panisse and cocktail 007. Every dish was a journey, very carefully created and a great balance of flavors. Beautifully plated on custom made wood plates made by one of the chefs. Can’t wait to go back.
Lovely restaurant with very attentive staff. Food was both beautiful and delicious. Good spacing between tables, so very covid friendly!
