This is the second time we have been to Nature for a special celebration and they completely outdo themselves every time. The service is phenomenal, the drinks were perfect and the food was absolutely delicious. If we could, we would eat here every day. They made my birthday so special last year and my husband’s birthday so special this year! I love that they have a menu that can accommodate both vegetarian/vegans and you wouldn’t even be able to tell it’s vegan!!!

I have eaten at a lot of high-end restaurants all around the globe and this is by far the most amazing place and high quality experience I have ever had! It was my last night in Hawaii and the general manager made sure that it was a special experience by bringing us up to the venue's rooftop to see the sunset prior to our dinner experience. Our server was so knowledgeable and his recommendations were so complimentary to the menu. The wine pairings were insane and such an amazing compliment to the food. My son had an amazing experience trying foods and wines that he would never have. We already have plans to come back to Hawaii and this restaurant will certainly be on the agenda! This restaurant was everything that we were looking for and more!!!
