Superb: Expensive But Worth Every Cent

by bfson

By far, the most expernsive and the best meal of our tip. You choose if you want 3, 4 or 5 course meals. You begin with a glass of Champagne (Lanson) and a tidbit (we had a small popover filled with a salmon moose.) We had an assortment of appetizers ($$ extra). My wife had the crispy skinned Onaga while I had the bouillabase. For dessert we had a banana souffle. Each and every dish was spot on. Worth every penny. For the 2 of us with a bottle of wine the bill was over $390 with tip) I only wish the wine list had more Alsatian wines.

• Pros: Superb Food, Great View
• Cons: Splurge Prices; Men Need Coat or Long Sleeve Shirt

Exquisite!!

by lk77

After having been disappointed on previous trips to Hawaii with the general poor quality and high price of the supposedly top restaurants, La Mer was a wonderful surprise. The meal (a four course tasting) was simply exquisite. The service, ambiance, and view were similarly superior. In fact, the restaurant compares favorably with the best in New York, London and San Francisco. A must-visit when in Oahu.
