Best Seasonal Restaurants in Honolulu

We had dinner February 15, 2025, and it was a fantastic experience. The ambiance was great with the ocean view. While very close to the beach, it was not so close that you had to dodge volleyballs or frisbees from the beach. The food was off the chart great. Wonderful meal. We opted for the 4-course meal, and it was both the right decision to go that route, and it was reasonably priced. We were in no way rushed through the meal so they could turn the table over as soon as possible. We had all the time we needed to leisurely enjoy the fine food. Our server, Branden J. F., was also fantastic and very much added to the experience. He was attentive without being "in the way." He made it a personal experience like we were old friends.

All the way from when we very first walked in every person m/staff working was very accommodating. They were a hot spot that night so nobody wanted to leave which is why I assume my table wasn’t ready yet. Even then once we got seated it all made sense. We didn’t want to leave either! They knew it was a Valentine’s Day date so they hey took a picture of us and printed it out for us . As much as food is the highlight of the steakhouse the staff and atmosphere brought it together. I 100% reccommend

Since this is our third visit here, it’s obvious that NatuRe Waikiki never disappoints. From the time you anxiously arrive till you reluctantly depart, the level of customer service, appreciation, attention to detail, food presentation, how our server describes what we’re about to enjoy, the food quality and timing of all courses is highly orchestrated. The prix fixe menu inclusive of fine wines is available in both veg and non-veg options. This restaurant is a must for any foodie when visiting Honolulu.

I visited D&D for Afternoon Tea on Feb 11th. Everything was fantastic! I loved the unique courses which were presented beautifully. My waitress was outstanding, offering suggestions on the order to eat each item. I would definitely enjoy tea here again!

This was my first Omakase experience, Aung was highly recommended by someone we came across on the North Shore. Let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. Aung was so vibrant and he definitely made the experience even better. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Hands down a MUST.
