We had the pleasure of trying the Christmas Course at NatuRe Waikiki, and it was an unforgettable experience! Each dish was a work of art, beautifully crafted with a festive Christmas touch. The flavors were nothing short of perfection, with every bite showcasing the chef's incredible skill and attention to detail. The wine pairings were thoughtfully chosen, adding the perfect accent to elevate the entire dinner. It was a truly magical evening, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary delight! Highly recommended!

We are supper diners and we recommend making reservations. They get busy. With reasonable expectations anything you order will be satisfying. I wouldn't say that they are a budget venue, however, fair for what you receive. They always have a chef special for steaks and seafood as well as a catch of the day entee. Their cheese and salumi platter is a great start for 4 guests with cocktails. Hope you enjoy!

Chef Terry is lovely and her food delicious. Only disappointment was with server taking so long to get our entree order we missed out on the chicken (which was ordered out of existence, though we were seated right at opening). He also forgot my husband’s drink order. Mocktails were tasty!

Our go to for brunch and dinner. Their brunch is absolutely amazing, we ordered one of each main item and couldn’t decide what we loved the most. Everything was so delicious, I’m still craving the Gouda grits and kalua pork hash! For dinner we always over order apps and salads since you can’t go wrong with their cheese board, the various dips (go straight for the dip trio you won’t be disappointed!) ceviche, and bravas. Beet salad and Caesar are amazing, followed by the oxtail and lamb. Don’t pass on the smores either, perfect ending to a great meal.
