   Leila is a 10. The food was amazing all around. My favorite was the uni brioche.

   Love the restaurant option. Would be great if you allowed us to order ala carte. The prefix menu makes us only go there for special occasions The seven dishes of salad is a wonderful experience but I think just three would be good. You lose track with so many choice that taste about the same. The caviar is my favorite. Overall great place for special occasion.

   We were lucky enough to discover Leila on the last day of our most recent trip to Honolulu, and it turned out to be the perfect final meal before heading to the airport. The restaurant’s minimalist decor is beautifully curated—elegant, soothing, and easy on the eyes, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is nothing short of exceptional, with rich, bold Moroccan flavors and an artful presentation that makes each dish feel special; every bite was a delight! The staff was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive, adding to the wonderful experience. If you’re in Honolulu, I highly recommend Leila—it’s a hidden gem you don’t want to miss!

   Food and wine pairing were excellent. Highly recommend the pairing instead of ordering a one bottle for the entire meal. Order the extras...famous duck confit, uni toast, oysters and side brococlini and mushrooms. Lamb and branzino were delicious for mains

   We were excited to try this new place. Unfortunately, we left less than dazzled. While the food was delicious, the service lacked the attention to detail that you would expect at this price point. I requested that cilantro would be left off of our food and it came garnished with it when it was served. Yes, I am one of those that cannot eat cilantro We were celebrating a birthday and the server asked if it was a birthday celebration and that was the last we heard anything about that . We don’t expect any freebies when we go out to celebrate, but a candle on the dessert would have been a nice touch. Finally, when we left, no one thanked us or said goodbye. And staff was just standing by the door. The overall vibe in the place from the staff was that they were doing their job and nothing extra and that they didn’t really care about you. There are so many wonderful places to eat here in Honolulu, we won’t be going back here.

   Had all the elements of a great date spot (food/service/decor/ambiance), except for the fact that it was freezing. They do, luckily, provide shawls on request, but it’s hard to reach over and get some dip when you are wearing a shawl, and it was just enough to stave off the cold but not enough to feel cozy. I wish they would just increase the temperature by 5-10 degrees.

   Truly a wonderful evening! Beautiful restaurant, gracious and hospitable staff, phenomenal food and awesome cocktails! Jason took such good care of us. He was knowledgeable and well spoken, extremely attentive but never intrusive. He has such a great vibe about him! We even got to meet Chef Jorge 😊 The teamwork here is exceptional and a treat to watch in action!

   Steak was sinewy and not worth the $25 up charge. The 1st course was a bunch of hummus dips, tasty but not special. The chocolate cake had too many cherries and the sweetness overpowered the rest of the dish. The wine pairing was quite good. Would not recommend Leila.

    The off menu item of caviar is a must. This one bite made Leila stand out.
