    La Mer is such a special restaurant—Chef Trancher and his team provide the best blend of French and Hawaiian cuisine with excellent wines and exceptional service. We were there last year and it was the first restaurant we booked once we made our plans to return to Honolulu this December. La Mer would have Michelin stars if Hawaii restaurants were rated by Michelin. It is a perfect spot for a special occasion or to just enjoy amazing food prepared with great attention to detail. It is worth every penny for this unforgettable dining experience!

    Excellent across the board. Down to earth, quiet elegance. Food presentation amazing and beautiful. The service—it’s like you …no, you are VIP. Expensive and i missed my complimentary champagne they used to give. That was a cool tradition that should be brought back.

    お食事もロケーションもサービスも素晴らしかったです。 ボリュームが多くて、最後のステーキやフォアグラが、とても美味しかったにも関わらず全部いただけなかったことが心残りでした。デザート3皿も、甘いものが苦手な私には多かったです。（チーズは美味しかったです！）

    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.

    I would have to say that my meal was horrible and not one server asked why I wasn't finishing my plate each time it came! The fish was too fishy! The courses didn't not make sense. And flavors were too wonky! At a thousand dollar plus bill!!! Don't do it! The cheese service please don't get!!! The servers don't even know where the rubbery cheese came from when asked! It was horrible and tasted like it came from Costco! I have traveled the world and have to say I am a foodie snob. This restaurant is over priced, over hyped, and not worth it! Sorry, please tourists beware!

    Very good service! For the price, mediocre food. Too much food for French . Seven course!! Not three, not five! Only seven plus a pre dessert and treats at the end! Too much to enjoy! Left stuffed and uncomfortable! $800!

    My husband and I had a special dinner here during our honeymoon! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional! Clearly professional as expected from such an esteemed restaurant, but still warm and welcoming. We felt very well looked after. We got the most beautiful table, which elevated the experience further. We ordered the degustation and added on the vanilla soufflé and every dish was delicious and different - it felt familiar yet innovative. We were so so full when we left! Highly recommend!
