Although all drinks are ala carte now and not part of the buffet,(coffee, ice tea, juices, ) i would still select Hoku's over Halekulani. The quality of their seafood, prime rib & suckling pig much better than Halekulani. Also great having lobster tails and miso butterfish. Service is good & staff friendly. We'll definitely be back.

We love this place! It’s an Italian restaurant with a touch of elegance. We came here to celebrate our 1st year wedding anniversary. We order the calamari, carbonara, pizza and fillet mignon. Everything was delicious. The plates are a bit pricey but well worth it. It’s next to the beautiful resort Kahala. The service was top notch as well. We highly recommend if you’re going to celebrate something special.

My cousins cruised here from CA, so I booked us a table at one of my very favorite restaurants at The Kahala Hotel’s Plumeria House ocean side restaurant. We all enjoyed the beautiful grounds, and of course, our meal was fabulous, as always. My guests also were able to see the Kahala Hotel dolphins getting ready for their lunch from their trainers.

WOW! 5 STARS all the way around!! From the moment we sat down and took in the amazing view to then meeting our server Sarah we knew we were in for an amazing dining experience. Everything Sarah recommended to us was delicious!! The cocktails so refreshing! The entrees mouth watering. I had the flat iron steak special and my husband had the ginger pesto catch of the day. Both entrees were cooked to perfection with the best flavors! They were DELICIOUS! Sarah was an absolute delight!! Her smile lit up the room every time she interacted with us. She provided 10 star customer service! We can’t wait to return in late February to enjoy another amazing dining experience and you bet we will be asking for Sarah!!
