    The best kale spinach strawberry feta salad with salmon that I've ever had! We sat at the bar because the weight was really long for a table. The bartender was great, super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back!

    Fresh local fish
    Amy L.

    We celebrated our friend's engagement here! It's small yet intimate. We were able to enjoy the sunset and have a wonderful meal. We shared an assortment of appetizers and my the standout was the lomi hamachi - delicate fresh fish with a tomato vinaigrette. Fresh local fish ($42) - nicely seared and went well with the corn succotash. The size was quite small for the price. The menu is pricey but well worth it with the staff, food, and views.

    HH kaimana burger
    Tiffany H.

    Located in Kaimana hotel. Valet Parking is free during HH or $10 per 3 hrs with validation. Right on the beach. You look out and see the ocean which is great! You pay for the atmosphere. Came for HH. They have limited HH menu with only a burger, salad and fries. Got one of each. The dressing on the salad was delish. Though the description said there was supposed to be baby gem and kale making up my salad, I was given romaine lettuce. Spoke with the waitress and they remade my salad. The burger has a thousand island dressing on it which I got on the side. Burger was average. Fries were served with the burger which it didn't state it was on the menu. Those were served piping hot but the herb fries were already cold. Mixed Drinks typically are $20 which is steep but during HH it's a little less. Service was so so. I kept having to flag them down to fill water, etc.

    Lilikoi margarita

    We went there for dinner hoping to sit by the beach, however the only thing available on open table was a counter/high top option-- which is where we sat. I wish the set up was better here -- the chairs were so low you couldnt see over the counter top out to the beach (unless you are over 6ft). The drinks were good, our server was nice & seemed knowledgeable but his recommendations just didn't seem to hit (or maybe the menu didn't speak to us). We tried the tempura fish with hot honey & harissa and were not impressed. The fry on the fish was good but there wasn't any flavor and the sauce was unevenly distributed so we couldn't even enjoy that with every bite. The focaccia was perfectly cooked. nothing on the menu spoke to us so we ended up leaving after the fish. Two appetizers & two drinks cost us $100. Probably wouldn't be back for food but would go back for the view & drinks!

    Burrata & Foccacia
    Daniella P.

    This place was a great choice for a nice dinner. The interior is so beautiful and it feels like an elevated island experience. The food and drinks are a little bit on the pricey side but it was very delicious. We are all fighting over who had the last piece of burrata and tomato. We all had a nice time and I definitely recommend this place!

    Sunset views!
    Caroline L.

    Booked a birthday dinner at Hau Tree for the sunset and beachside views! You can book 30 days in advance online which I recommend if you're looking for the specific sunset time to time it right. Very limited parking and we had to valet it which came out to only $10 with restaurant validation. Service was friendly but felt slow. Food was decent but I just wasn't impressed. I've never complained about large portions but why were there so many dang potatoes as the side it was so wasteful and didn't taste that great either. The sunset beach views were great but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. It didn't hit the spot for us. Drink: - liliko'i margarita (has tajin like rim) was limey Food: - chip & rainbow caviar - really good! - lomi hamachi - kale & spinach salad add seared ahi - very small ahi - 12 oz washugyu striploin with side: roasted potatoes (do not get this side and it was way too many see pic) side: roasted eggplant

    From start to finish, this was an exception experience. Ocean/beachfront seating on their lanai, with woven lanterns hanging through out. Tiki torches really helped set the vibe. You absolutely need reservations for a table on the Lanai for dinner. Prime times are for the sunset. We were seated immediately and our order for refreshments wasn't long behind. What we ordered: ** a bottle of Chianti wine ** the focaccia bread served with a balsamic whipped butter. ** Mido Caesar salad, , my husband and I split the salad. ** fennel sausage orecchiette ** kahuku golden tomato strozzapreti ** Complementary Guava cake for our Anniversary The focaccia bread was warm and soft. The balsamic whipped butter was delightful. The kahuku golden tomato strozzapreti pasta dish reminded me of the pasta dishes I ate while visiting in Italy. It is a light and flavorful dish, the sweet tomatoes were bursting with flavor. My husband ordered the fennel sausage and orecchiette pasta dish, this was also delicious. Our server was very friendly and prompt, adding her favorite items from the menu. They served us a light and fluffy complementary Guava cake for our anniversary. We loved the whole experience.

    Okay, this place is stunning. Plus it has such a great view along the beach! The food was pretty good - the focaccia and rainbow dip was to die for. Pasta felt plain unfortunately. Service was so good. We were so obvious we were tourist and just came by to celebrate a nice occasion and our waitress was so accommodating, even covering our pasta plates while we took a break to take some photos on the beach!

    This is all that I ordered except my second drink and the bill on my statement said $178....

    I spent my birthday morning here looking out at the ocean while having a nice brunch. The service was not bad, food was mediocre, and the drinks were good. However, I'd recommend everyone to take a look at their credit card statement when the charge is posted. I had a loco moco ($31,) a side of fries ($6 ish) , two drinks ($19x2+$4 because of the extra espresso shot). With tips and tax should not be anywhere over $100, but I was charged $178! I called the restaurant right away and left a message with their hostess. The manager called me back within the same day after their weekly meetings and apologized while looking up my receipt. He said it seems like the waitress made a mistake in inputting the tips of $97 instead of whatever I was going to give and asked me what I intended. It has been days since I visited so I don't actually remember what I intended but I usually give 18-20% and even with 20% is $16, a number nowhere near $97... I don't like to assume the worst of people but this has taught me a lesson to always check my statements and call. I do appreciate the manager for fixing the issue that same day and refunded me the extra tips that wasn't supposed to be there.

    Beautiful place to have breakfast/brunch with your date, family, or friends! Very very relaxed ambiance with amazing views and great food! It is on the pricier side, but no other breakfast/brunch can beat this place with food and views! Service is spectacular as well, we wanted near ocean table with great view and host did not hesitate to accommodate, our server Kody was very patient and knowledgeable about the menu and restaurant. Everything really felt relaxed and food tastes great! Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Street parking or Validated ($10?) for valet Make Sure to call in to request for specific tables early

    June 2026: $33 Cured Salmon Benedict with $6 avocado.  Would've been the winner but the poached eggs were hard boiled
    Scott H.

    Brunch using the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables. Sat in the outdoor section just off the beach. The view and ambiance is the draw of this place and worth the price. Had the House-cured Salmon Board (with rye bread, herb cream cheese, and trout roe) ($31), the Frittata ($28), Kaimana Beach Burger ($29), Cured Salmon Benedict (with avocado) ($33 + $6 for avocado), and a Mango Whoopsie (virgin drink) ($12). Frittata was a winner. Had potatoes in it which was a nice surprise. The burger was fine. Nothing special, but tasty. The benedict would've been fantastic, but the poached egg was overcooked and hard boiled (see pic). A shame, because the rest of the dish was good, but hard boiled poached eggs let the dish down. The roast potatoes that came with the dish were fantastic. The ambiance was fantastic. Been enjoying Kaimana Beach for decades and the first time eating at Hau Tree. The outdoor seating is much nicer than it looks when looking from the outside in at the beach.

    Kaitlin M.

    The pasta was INCREDIBLE, and the views and ambiance were wonderful. The sunset on the beach and the dim lighting was top tier.

    Avocado eggs benedict
    Tina T.

    Came here with my husband for brunch. He tried the Hau tree eggs Benedict and I tried the Avocado eggs Benedict. The dishes came with a potatoes and salad. Very fresh! Both were good! We also tried the Ube Cinnamon roll. Yum! Not too sweet. The cinnamon roll was huge! Service was good. It started raining so our server quickly came over to move us to another table. They have an open concept where there's indoor and outdoor seating and a great beach view.

    Ask the Community - Hau Tree

    Are there gluten-free options?

    Sort of, there isn't "gluten-free" options on the menu but there's fish, and salads. I would also recommend letting your server know as well.

    Are there any vegan options?

    What time do they start serving dinner pls?

    The capacity of the private room?

    Is there a kama'aina discount?

    Is there valet parking?

    Yes at the hotel. There is also ample parking in the street as it's at the end of town.

    Are walk-ins welcome?

    For walk-in, the best bet that seems to always have some seating is the gorgeous/comfortable bar. For the lower patio, reservations encouraged.

    Is it baby/kid friendly atmosphere?

    Yes

    Is it possible to make modifications to the menu for gluten allergy? Mahalo

    I don't think that's possible.

    Hi just wondering if there's still happy hour available, if so where can I find the menu for that, and what are the hours?

    Hi Jacy, I posted pics of the dinner and drinks menu back in April. There is a QR code on the menu. Maybe that will give info on possible happy hour specials?

    How do you make reservations? I used to be able to online but it's not showing up on Resy anymore

    Aloha!! We currently are using the Tock reservation system!

    Is there a kids menu?

    As of April/ early May, they didn't.

    How's the parking situation? Did anyone know the rates at Kapiolani Patk

    They have valet parking, and it may have been $10.

    Do you have a birthday dessert plate?

    Yes!!!

    Is this restaurant wheelchair accessible?

    Yes

    Is there a keiki menu?

    Unfortunately, I didn't notice a keiki menu.

    Are small dogs allowed at the lanai?

    Yes, they are now allowing dogs well behaved

    I noticed a few tables had brought their own wine (good wines, likely for a special occasion) - what is the corkage fee?

    No idea. I was told you can't do this.

    Is the old Hau Tree Menu gone? This is my husband's go-to birthday or anniversary place for years and always ordered the same thing. Sad to not see that menu anymore.

    Yes it's gone, but better. Chef Chris Kajioka (Miro) along with Chef Alan (Le Bistro) are serving up amazing dishes. He'll be pleasantly surprised! Enjoy

    What is PDR seating when making dinner reservations?

    Private Dining Room.

Like literally cold to the touch. The mashed potatoes were warm and those were great as well as the veggies . I didn't complain because nobody ever came back to check us on or offer a refill or anything . To pay was a hassle also as they only had 1 server helping and he was tied up with a big table for over 20 minutes that was arguing how to split up a bill. I eventually flagged down a bartender and she went and grabbed my original server from the back. The whole night things kept going wrong . I did have a mai tai earlier in the day from their happy hour which was great but dinner is a no-go for me here now.

I took the leftover pineapple "cup" back to our Airbnb, cut it up, and ended up with plenty of delicious pineapple to enjoy the next day. It honestly felt like getting two treats in one. At $15, it may seem pricey at first, but I'd absolutely order it again because it was that good. My biggest recommendation: don't throw away the pineapple!
