La Mer

Disappointed in the food. Roughly have the tasting menu was delicious and well done. However, the other half was in need of improvement. Specifically the steak dish. The steak was dry and flavorless. The service was top notch, the drinks were great, the view was fantastic. For roughly $500 a person it was hard to justify the cost. Sadly we enjoyed our meal at Roy’s the night before more than La Mer.

La Mer was an absolutely beautiful dining experience. The room is elegant and serene, with stunning décor and a classic fine-dining feel that immediately sets the tone. It was also the perfect place to watch a Waikiki sunset with a drink on hand and without the crowd. We loved the tasting menu, every course was refined, flavorful, and thoughtfully done. Our server was outstanding and even helped create a custom tasting menu for my husband, which made the night feel very personal and special. Exceptional food, polished service, and a truly memorable evening. One of the best meals we’ve had in Waikiki. Shoutout to Alec for making the night unforgettable!

Best fine dining in Honolulu…and all of Hawaii. We got the full 8 course meal and it was worth it, it was such a unique experience that I did not feel like I could get anywhere else. Dishes were thoughtful unique and well crafted. Delicious 😋 and I loved the wine choices. The cocktail was so smooth and flavorful. I will credit them for top notch service too PLEASE read their attire policy so that you aren’t turned down

A somewhat beautiful experience. I have been in the gastronomy industry for 22 years. I have never been told that I could not partake in the tasting menu because my wife and daughters were not ordering the tasting menu as well. What are we trying to pull here?🤔 No fault to the waiter(s) who was(were) nothing short of amicable and accommodating. However, I just felt that my family was being pressured into ordering the more expensive menu. I am fully aware of the workings of a kitchen brigade and it makes it easier for everyone to order a tasting menu so that there isn't that awkward waiting on the one person or people that did want it. I mean, it was my 40th birthday, guys. It was all I wanted. I will not be returning. Your servers saved the experience. God Bless you all. 🙏🏼

We came here for a special engagement celebration, and the whole evening felt beautifully thoughtful. Gen, our server, guided us through each dish with such care and explained the chef’s vision like she was letting us in on a secret. The duck breast was rich (mine was a bit on the firm side), and the fish with its crackling, hot-oil-kissed skin was melt-in-your-mouth unforgettable. Even the simple things , like the seaweed-infused tableside bread as it felt unique and magical. It was such a memorable meal, start to finish.
