Liholiho Yacht Club

We came here for a late 9:00pm dinner (one of the few spots left on a Friday night). It was pretty packed at night but we got seated promptly. We opted for the tasting menu which is 11 different items for $85. But know that after service charges and taxes, this is at least $115 per person. Food was good, reminded us a lot of our last Hawaii trip. Lots of Hawaiian flavors and fresh tropical ingredients. Savory and a hint of sweet. Appetizers were quite nice. We were served golf shrimp, swordfish katsu, deconstructed musubi (spam with rice and furikake), and the maitake mushrooms. All of the food was generally very tasty. Although there wasn’t anything I HAD to come back to eat again. We really enjoyed that the tasting menu meant we got to try a bit of everything. Pretty stuffed by the end of the meal. I would say the dessert was surprisingly delicious. Would recommend trying the baked Hawaii. The cookies on the side were only okay. Great atmosphere, servers were excellent. Cadence of the food was a bit delayed. We were served all our appetizers then waited a long time before more food came. Then at the end of the meal all the food was staked at our table.

One outstanding dish followed another, with wonderful service. Very creative cooking with some unusual combinations that work unusually well. As a celiac sufferer I ate very well, and I was delighted to even have a dessert I could eat. The music was far too loud, making it difficult to converse with my fellow diners.

Love the space. Our server was extremely attentive to our dietary restrictions. Menu was really fun and creative- don’t go here for healthy options though! And if you’re in a large group make sure you understand their rules- they will not downsize your reservation’s financial commitment if someone cancels, for parties over eight I think it was. Also gets a bit loud.

Food was incredibly good, service is friendly and swift. The atmosphere is on the casual, vibrant side. The place is family style so dishes are great for sharing. There’s also a chef’s tasting menu available if you ask. For two, I’d recommend sharing one appetizer, one main dish, and save room for dessert. Feel free to add an amuse-bouche to start.
