I love the Hau Tree Lanai and with our dog passing away wanted to get my Wife out of the house to get her mind off our baby. Thought watching the sunset and having dinner would be perfect on a warm evening. Noticed that the look of the restaurant had changed to a cleaner more modern design. Checked out the menu and wow.....what a big change from the last time we were here. It was smaller and lacked a lot of the fresh fish and seafood that we had come here for before. I enjoyed a nice crisp glass of Chardonnay as the sun slowly moved closer to the water. I wanted to take our time and savor in the beauty of the beach and spend time with the woman I love who is devastated from not having our dog. The waiter didn't push us and in fact let us order at our pace. Started with the Chips and Rainbow Caviar with the addition of Ossetera Caviar for an additional $20. This dish arrived and the Chips looked homemade and amazing. The Caviar with a Chive Oil Creme Fraiche was AMAZING. Loved every single bit and almost licked the bowl. I would go back here again just to have this and a glass of wine. Next up we ordered the Hamachi Kama. This dish too was amazing. Unlike any Hamachi Kama we have ever tasted. There was no sauce but the Hamachi was covered in a delicious sauce that was perfect with the moist and flavorful fish. There was more meat on the bones than it looked like. So good! Last up was the King Salmon. While the Salmon was good, it was a bit dry on the outside and I thought the dish needed some kind of sauce. Service was excellent and you cannot beat the view and vibe here. Casual but elegant and so beautiful. One of my favorite places in Waikiki.
