Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Isaiah Badua

From the OpenTable editors: When it opened in 1988, James Beard Award-winning chef Roy Yamaguchi’s flagship restaurant put Hawaiʻi on the culinary map for its elegant, Pacific Rim cuisine. The restaurant is still a local hotspot for standout dishes like macadamia nut-crusted Hawaiian fish and slow-braised beef short rib. Sit by one of the large windows in the inviting dining room for sweeping views of Maunalua Bay.

We enjoyed the prix fixe menu and were completely satisfied. The wait staff was highly attentive to our needs and came by the table frequently to check on our needs. We thought the portion size was perfect. My favorite course was the dessert and it was prepared perfectly with a homemade marshmallow. When visiting Oahu, this is a must visit location!

Requested downstairs booth seating and received outdoor seating. Host did not even offer to seat us indoors. And although the bus boys were amazing the wait staff provided subpar service. The manager introduced himself, which was nice but the. vanished. Mostly, our experience mostly felt like we were inconveniencing the wait staff.
