Hau Tree

Excellent memorable dinner. The servers were friendly and welcoming. All our orders were absolutely to the perfect taste and fantastic presentation. All food were served at the right moment. Outside venue is amazing at evenings. Both hostesses were so mute and not happy to welcome guests (we observed them with others too), pretty dried and escaping from conversation about the reservation.

This spot has become my absolute favorite, be it for brunch or dinner. I've lost track of the numerous times I've frequented this place! It's amusing how I always end up at the same table, creating a quirky routine. Dreaming of the day I secure that coveted front beach view table, but regardless, the consistent charm and delightful meals keep me coming back time after time.

If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! This is the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been too! It's the perfect restaurant for a date night/ celebratory dinner! It's an open air restaurant, right on the beach! We made sure to have reservations just in time for a late sunset, so we could also enjoy the beautiful lanterns at night! The food was so delicious! The steak was the best I've ever had! Overall the mood of the restaurant was the reason we decided to make reservations here, as we were celebrating our honeymoon, and it just so happened to be the anniversary of our engagement! We wanted to celebrate somewhere that felt romantic, and we could not of picked a better place!

It was my 45th birthday and we’ve been on vacation for 8 days and we LOVE good food. Chau not only served us the best breakfast we’ve had since being here but her service was pure perfection. It felt relaxed and we still felt VERY catered too. She also added personalized touches that were above and beyond. Thank you Chau for making this an AMAZING day.

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed by the amazing hostess, Lela who even let us pick our table of choice - which has never happened to us - we felt like VIPs! Then came the server, Juan who was beyond amazing with great recommendations and the friendliest most welcoming smiles we've gotten all year. He was genuine and gave off the best positive energy! It's clear this place is a well-oiled machine because we whispered that it was a bit hot since it was just before sunset and Nicole, a server for another table brought us some cute fans - THAT IS SUPERIOR SERVICE & ATTENTION TO GUESTS. PERIOD. The manager, Dell also came over several times to make sure everything was great and gave us his card so we could text him about anything should we need him. AND ALL THIS W/OUT DISCUSSING THE DELICIOUS, MEMORABLE FOOD on our plates - the chef & his team LOVE what they do and it shows in every dish they put out from the hamachi crudo, the BEST crispy octopus we've ever had, and the pasta dishes that took us back to Venice & the Amalfi Coast (no joke) & all before the wonderful almond cake & aperitif at the end of the meal. P.S. every cocktail was delicious and strong & the bottle of Malbec we got was perfectly priced. The lounge music from the nearby bar was perfect for giving the whole place a hip vibe without being overwhelming. OMG and the views, the SUNSET across the sparkling waves, the blue hour that followed as the Hau Tree lanai transformed under the warmth of the yellow lanterns hanging off the trees, plus the Waikiki Friday fireworks in the distance - we were front row for all of it. IF THE RATING IS 5-STARS WE NEED LIKE 10 MORE STARS FOR HAU TREEE...not only will we be back soon, but we will proudly share it with friends and family who visit the island. ONE OF THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR at a local restaurant (or maybe ever, idk) it was SIMPLY AMAZING & I couldn't stop smiling all night.
