My husband and I were treated to this excellent restaurant for lunch during our recent visit to Honolulu. We loved sitting under the trees; the pink and white decor reminded me of our wedding (my colors) and doves flew about the indoor/outdoor setting. The (Waikiki) beach and sun and blue sky made the afternoon perfect for us--and we especially enjoyed lunch after hiking up Diamond Head that morning.



I recommend the ribs--tender and covered with the most delicious honey sauce and Iced Tea with lemon and pineapple...a five star luncheon!



The only thing missing were our friends...Allison and Andre...who were back home but treated us to lunch at he Hau Tree Lanai. Mahalo!!

We were at the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel in 2006 and we thought that it was a very clean, nice hotel. I had booked through Orbitz online, which I had never did before, and was really worried about what it was going to be like. My husband and I were very pleased. We had one of the ocean view rooms and my husband would go out on the balcony early in the morning and watch the sunrise and the dolphins jump the waves. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is out of the main part of town, but close enough that you can walk.

This beachfront restaurant is located in a quiet area in Waikiki beach. Many locals go there to celebrate anniversaries. It is expensive but the service, ambience and gourmet cuisine are worth it. Try their fresh fish. "Chinese Style" steamed with ginger is a personal favorite.
