Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Aiea

Excellent lunch. Creative prix fixe menu that exceeded my already high expectations for The Pearl. Surprise addition of a champagne-blood orange sorbet amuse bouche raised the bar even higher. The student staff served the almost-full dining room with grace and elan. I can't wait for my next opportunity to dine there.

What a dream to have a lovely fine dining experience. The food, presentation and service was exceptional. I was impressed with the rhythm of each dish delivery to the table, no rush just the right amount of time between plates. Our server was extremely affable, as were the many others who brought dishes to the table. Never intrusive. The plating and combination of flavors were thoughtful and delicious creations. Considering that the treatment was Michelin level, the reasonable price point for our experience was a bargain.

We come here every time we stay in Ko Olina This trip we shared the poke tacos very good. And of course the mai tais Bulgogi pork tacos my husband always loves these and I had the Kalua pork and pineapple pizza also very good. Our server was good as well which we have never had a bad one here.

Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Excellent food, ambience and service!! ❤️ I haven’t been there for awhile. Popovers were delicious as usual. The food was superb. I had the salmon ochazuke. I love risotto and I love chase and I love salmon so it was a perfect dish to try. It was delicious!!! My girlfriend had the shrimp crab Louis salad. That looked delicious too!! There were so many I love. So I will surely b back!
