Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Kaimuki

This is one of our go to restaurants in HNL. We have been going here since it opened and as well to its predecessor at the Modern. While the food is exquisite (sticky ribs are the best you will ever have), we have determined that the real reason we keep coming back is the staff. This year, they confirmed that beyond our expectations. Bryan was our server and he was fantastic, enthusiastic and friendly. The manager, Vinnie, came over to our table and a good visit turned into something truly memorable! Thank you Vinnie! We look forward to continuing to come back; for the food but more importantly, the amazing/great/welcoming staff!

Awesome delicious food from the appetizers to the entrees and superb desserts! The service was excellent too. It was a wonderful birthday celebration for my husband with me and his friends! He also received a special birthday dessert. Such a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely go there again!

Such a gem. Have come here often over the years. The brunch service on the beach is among the top 3 on the island. Fabulous setting and our waiter Rajah could not have been better. From the time we arrived and were so well taken care of by the valet and host till we left with good bye’s from our waiter and the smiles and thoughtful parking of the valet attendant, it could not have been a better experience. Without requesting we had the best table on the lanai, a cozy spot right on the beach front in the shade of a beautiful tree. The food we ordered was delicious, including the just-out—of-the -oven-baked perfectly right sized three pastry dish with great toppings. The pineapple guava one was unusual and divine with the banana bread, though I enjoyed it on others too. The coconut based sauce on the ahi with lettuce and taro chips was also amazing. Definitely highly recommend!!

We had a lovely buffet brunch with the widest selection of food! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. There were couples, large groups, families with very young children yet the atmosphere was relaxed and totally enjoyable. The wait staff were all very professional and attentive. Although it was pricey, we would definitely come here again!

A dining experience to remember. If you are looking for more than just a meal this restaurant and are in for a culinary memory - then La Mer is worth all the hype. The service was absolutely top notch and we loved our time there.
