    Food was flavorful and absolutely delicious. We ate our meals family style and there is not one dish that we did not love. Beef Kafka was wonderful wagyu shish was tender and chicken with apricots and pine nuts was tender with crispy skin. Sooooo good !!! Our server Luca made great recommendation but was so slow. On a few occasions I thought he forgot about our table. Overall great experience. .

    I’ve made this reservation to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday at 5:15 PM in order to see the sunset in the ocean. We’ve been a little bit late for the reservation, but two ladies worked at Hau Tree were very nice and helpful. We were sitting in the Oceanside view for the dinner. The sunset in front of Hau Tree was so beautiful and amazing. Jordan was our server who was so kind and helpful. We ordered crispy Spanish octopus, pawn pasta and local fish. Food was amazing and so delicious. They gave us a little desert as a birthday surprise! Excellent food, beautiful ocean view and great customer service from Hau Tree! Recommend to everyone! It is a must try in Honolulu!
