This is the most creative venue we have visited. We have come here twice now, and I have been wowed! The presentation is delightful, the privacy and the venue are comfortable and unique, the service is outstanding, and the food is amazing. Yes, it is pricey, but worth it for the occasional splash. We have come here the last two years while on vacation, and we will continue coming as a special treat for our Hawaiian holiday. Well done!!

We ordered the vegetarian tasting menu - excellent from start to finish. A collection off creative tastes and creative presentations. Wonderful service and a charming atmosphere tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.

Chef is creative and kind. This comes across on the plate. They should rename to Snapper because that fish was top 5 ever. Nice ties to Japanese cuisine while using Hawaiian ingredients. The smoking cocktail was very good.

Since this is our third visit here, it’s obvious that NatuRe Waikiki never disappoints. From the time you anxiously arrive till you reluctantly depart, the level of customer service, appreciation, attention to detail, food presentation, how our server describes what we’re about to enjoy, the food quality and timing of all courses is highly orchestrated. The prix fixe menu inclusive of fine wines is available in both veg and non-veg options. This restaurant is a must for any foodie when visiting Honolulu.

The staff curated an epicurean journey of excellence. The food was visually, aromatic, and a flavorful delight. The attention to detail and pairing of flavors was masterful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to foodies and those who want a gourmet food experience in a relaxed-cozy setting.
