A truly magnificent experience. The food, ambiance, service and attention to detail was top notch. The wine pairing brought out the spectacular flavors. The quality of the food was exceptional. The sommelier’s knowledge of what to pair and what to expect was amazing. The truffles were aromatic and added so much more to the dishes. Caviar was great as well. Surprised my wife by having her birthday dinner here and she says it is now her favorite top notch restaurant. Thank you Margotto for the unforgettable dinner experience.

I can't think of anywhere else on Oahu where you could have rare treats such as fresh Alba white truffles or spanking fresh kinmedai bream-- even the eggs are specially sourced. Of course it's expensive, but you're also getting world-class food and wine.

The food was okay. I ordered the rib eye steak, which had no flavour and was not salty enough. Disappointing. My partner ordered the fresh snapper, which was delicious. The pasta was a little disappointing, as the cilantro garnish overpowered the lobster, which was the main ingredient. It was not well balanced. The biggest disappointment was the service. For a fine dining restaurant, the water was not served properly. He served it across in front of me. He should have served it behind/to the right of me. Doesn't seem to have been properly trained. And the sommelier was even worse. He forced me to agree with what he recommended instead of listening to me. Why did he force me to agree with his opinion? I wish he had listened more to my comments on the wine selection.

It's date night we ordered a glass of champagne each and we're going for the 11 course tasting menu $200@ person as it came highly recommended. After enjoying our champagne we decided to get a bottle but, it was never present to us and opened in front of us as done in every restaurant we had been to, they gave a few more glasses and said that's a bottle. I was expecting better service to match the price. The food quality was low and didn't meet the price as well, what was worse we witnessed what appeared to be the dishwasher assisting with separating the egg yolk from the white with bare hands wearing rings😱. The bill was $1023 without tip, I guess the winter black truffle was $300 add for maybe 30G ?

2度目ですが、何を食べても美味しい。前回と同じものも頼みましたが、少し変化が加わっていて楽しめました。ただ、金額が高いのだけが難点です。
