This is the second time we have been to Nature for a special celebration and they completely outdo themselves every time. The service is phenomenal, the drinks were perfect and the food was absolutely delicious. If we could, we would eat here every day. They made my birthday so special last year and my husband’s birthday so special this year! I love that they have a menu that can accommodate both vegetarian/vegans and you wouldn’t even be able to tell it’s vegan!!!

Wow, we had an incredible first experience here. We did the tasting menu (both vegetarian and meat menus) at Chefs counter. Each course was unique and delicious. Service was excellent. Love the focus on local ingredients. Great ambiance and we loved watching the chefs at work. Highly recommend, we can’t wait to return.

Mahalo to Chef Nae Ogawa and her wonderful team, especially our server, Rose. Our experience at the counter allowed us to watch the kitchen from front row seats, and we were able to interact with the chef and the staff. Every dish was a wow course, with exciting and creative ingredients and flavor combinations. The premium wine pairings were a perfect match to the meal. We will definitely come back when we are in Honolulu, and we highly recommend the restaurant—one of the top dinners we had!
