   Food was a 4.5, but I have to pick a round number. The only item that wasn't amazing was the lobster. The lobster tail wasn't cooked well and ended up being a bit chewy, but all the other elements in the dish were good! No complaints with the rest of the menu. Service was impeccable, and the ambiance was great!

   スタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティーが高く、料理も上品でとても美味しい。夕暮れの海の景色から、夜の大人の空間がとても素晴らしい。ハレクラニの最後の夜の晩餐だったので、より感動的でした。

   The ambiance, servers and host/staff were phenomenal. We had a sunset view right on the balcony, that was amazing. The staff was accommodating and didn’t make us feel bad for not understanding how to order. That was all the best part. I did a 4 course for $295 (for 1), The food was mediocre at best, and with the cost of the few bites, I’d downgrade it to definitely not worth it. Nothing was amazing or special to justify $80 for 2 bites. I’ve had plenty of fish and lamb (in full) that were half the price and seasoned better. The fish was pale and soggy. I would never go back, but I do wish they had the restaurant and staff at a regular restaurant. May try orchid, seems like it’s similar and connected but not the special amuse bouche style.

   Absolutely fabulous. Everything about the experience was first class, food, service, ambience, attention to detail without overdoing it. One special over the top event, my husband accidentally left his credit card when we left. Before he even realized it, we had received 2 texts and the manager of La Mer had driven it to our hotel at Moana Surfrider and didn't even come in so I could tip him. That is service beyond expectations. One of the most special meals of our lives..

   What better place to end a beautiful vacation than La Mer. It lived up to its reputation and more. No where can you find more impeccable service (very seamless and unobtrusive I might add). One is greeted from the moment you arrive like you are family. They make it a point to know your name, and everything was perfect from arrival to departure! Order the full seven course menu. EVERYTHING was delicious and cooked perfectly. The filet mignon combined with the foie gras was perfect. Nothing on the menu was disappointing. We would advise upgrading the dessert at the end....well worth it and delicious. While it is expensive, we feel that someday this place with be a Michelin star restaurant. The hotel already is. The view at sunset of the ocean and Diamond Head beach also adds another touch to a great dining experience.

   What an amazing dining experience. The food was phenomenal. The staff were the most welcoming, attentive, and respectful I have ever seen. We were ushered into a beautiful area with the view of the ocean. It was quiet and peaceful. Our waiters went above and beyond, which seemed normal for them. The food was beyond exceptional. The portions appear small but are very filling. The filet mignon was exquisite, and quite possibly the most delicious food I have ever eaten. We ended the night with the most perfect soufflé. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. The staff made it that much more incredible.
