    This place definitely lives up to the hype! I definitely enjoyed my pasta and the focaccia with butter was a great start to the evening! The views of the beach are a cherry on top!

    Sunset views!

    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!

    Excellent food. Our server Michael was very kind and attentive. My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate my birthday dinner and enjoyed everything we ate here from the oysters, to our drinks (piña colada & lava flow) and our dinner which was a pasta and miso ceasar salad with seared ahi. The ahi was perfect. Birthday dessert was a guava chiffon cake, small but enjoyable. Wish we tried the coconut cake! This restaurant made our time in Hawaii so enjoyable especially with the beachfront view. If the sun is not setting, cover up or wear sunscreen/bring your sunglasses or a hat!

    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

    Wow! Thank you Hau Tree. We were seated outside right in front of the baby monk seal. The view was beautiful and it was a beachy vibe. It was hot, but the hostess brought us fans and was very accommodating if we needed to move. The fish was delicious, the produce tasted so fresh (salad and tomatoes) so it was worth the $$ to me just because nothing was "tired."The pasta was also cooked perfectly al dente. I recommend reservations, my mom and I had a beautiful Mother's Day / birthday / graduation celebration, they even brought out a cake. I didn't feel rushed at all, and I'll be going back here again. Valet was only $10.

    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.

    decided to make a reservation at hau for my boyfriend and i's anniversary and had a great experience. checked in and we had to wait about 10-15 minutes for our table but the lobby had comfortable seatings. our server luke was extremely sweet and helpful with the menu, especially for our first time. the setting is more intimate and classy and there's great views of the ocean/beach. as for the food, i'd say it was pretty good but nothing super special. their focaccia bread is one of their more popular apps, and it was fluffy/airy with the yummy balsamic brown butter. the pastas tasted good and were cooked nicely, but truly just average pasta. everything came out about room temperature, but i also understand we're near the beach so the winds probably cool it down tremendously fast. with all that in mind, i'd say this spot definitely looks good for the photos but you can find much better tasting italian food with much more reasonable prices.

    Tuesday 830pm I was looking to reserve a table for three guests two days before I wanted to have dinner, but the only options were 8:30pm and later. When we arrived there were plenty of tables available. I was a little concerned about the wind and the cold (60s) because we were seated outdoors but it was perfect, probably because we were enclosed by trees and walls. I'm glad we sat outside because in the dark (no sunset to watch over Kaimana beach) the setting was still beautiful. We ordered the crispy octopus, kale and spinach salad, eggplant, burrata and tomatoes, mango whoopsie, fudge, and banoffee tiramisu. The kale salad had quite a bit of gorgonzola on it, so I got to eat most of it. I liked the banoffee tiramisu and eggplant. I LOVED the burrata and tomatoes. Who knew olive tamponade went with tomatoes? I could have made a meal with just the eggplant and the burrata tomatoes. I have always remembered valeting my car, but this time we parked for free at the meters that were free after 6pm, just across the street. I remember I loved the tuna tartare and burrata toast last time. Always a lovely place to dine at!

    An overall sad experience here. I originally wanted to book for a group of 6, but the response I received from the restaurant was rude and dismissive. I ended up booking for just my fiancée and I. We stayed in town and ended up leaving an appointment early and when we called to see if we could get an early reservation, the hostess on the phone told us "check open table online." Okay, so that's a no? When we arrived, 15 minutes early, the nicest staff member was the valet at the hotel. The bartenders and the hostesses both acted like we were an inconvenience to be there. And for the record, the table they sat us at was available for the 15 minutes we were waiting at the bar. The server saw us at the bar and didn't come and get us for the table, we waited for a text message. The food was mid tier at best, drinks cost us about $50 for 2. Would not return here unless there is a serious attitude adjustment for staff.

    I had such a great experience at Hau Tree--it's one of those places that just feels special from the moment you walk in. Sitting right by the beach under the trees with the ocean so close was honestly hard to beat. It's peaceful, beautiful, and exactly the kind of setting I was hoping for. The food was really good--fresh, flavorful, and not too heavy. You can tell they put care into everything. I especially appreciated how relaxed everything felt while still being really well done.

    I made an Opentable Sunday brunch reservation and requested a table against the wall next to the beach (which we received), and indicated we were there for our anniversary. Great venue and good food. We parked across the street for 3 hours of parking for $1.44 on a Sunday (it is free until 10am on Sun). We started with a cinnamon roll ($16/ea) and two different Mai Tias ($19/ea). With the cinnamon roll being the standout item. Both Mai Tias were good but I would stick with the Waikiki Mai Tai over the 1944 Mai Tai. Next we ordered a fish sandwich ($27) and a burger ($28). The fish sandwich was unique-enough and tasty. The burger was nothing special. Both came with McDonald skinny fries. Seeing some of the brunch items around me, I'd do a benedict and some other breakfast item next time and skip the sandwiches. The burger is on HH for $20 which better aligns with its presentation and fries. We got a complementary slice of cake and two glasses of champagne for our anniversary celebration. The waiter was excellent. Overall I would return, just make some different decisions to elevate the experience.

    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.

    We came here to try some more traditional Hawaiian food. Particular favorites was the squid luau…read morewhich was sweet and a little salty with a unique flavor coming from the taro leaves. If you're not a fan of seafood, don't let the squid deter you as it is a minimal part of the dish and added more of a crunchy textural component rather than actual flavor. This was my wife and my favorite dish. The luau pork was also very good though I liked the version we had at Toa Luau better. We also liked the haupia which was a very refreshing coconut pudding though for some reason our boys didn't like it. We also tried pipikaula which are thinly sliced dry-aged beef short ribs marinated in soy sauce and something else that made it sweet. If you know Korean barbeque, you'll instantly get the sensation that these are close cousins to galbi, though the pipikaula are much less sweet in comparison. The dry aging process also makes them a bit more dryer than galbi. On to more difficult stuff. I was enthusiastic about the fried butterfish collar but once I got a waft of the dish, I knew I was in trouble. I'm very sensitive when it comes to fish so the smell (more than the taste) was off putting. My wife was fine with it and enjoyed the dish, but if you aren't a fan of fishy fish, then I would skip it. The lomi salmon looked very much like pico de gallo with the addition of salt-cured salmon. My boys loved this dish because they love salmon but again I would steer clear if you are a seafood weakling like me. Alas, we come to poi. Had my hopes up since I love taro but the texture and a bit of sourness from fermentation deterred me from trying too much of it. I'm glad we tried it but not sure that we would get it again.

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

    I loved it here. Truly a hole in the wall. Parking is really tough so street parking is usually…read moregonna be the norm unless you get lucky in their tiny shared parking lot. The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

The guy at the counter wasn't the most people person ever, but he also got the job done. Didn't get a photo of the guava cake brownie thing they have, but it was really yummy.

    3.5 stars We wanted…read moreto try authentic Hawaiian food and came across this spot. The owner was very friendly and took the time to recommend dishes for us, including the laulau and lechon kawali. We also ordered the BBQ short ribs. Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either. Unfortunately, the cabbage served with it also had some black spots, which was off-putting. The BBQ short ribs were the highlight of the meal and the dish we enjoyed the most. We appreciate the experience and the hospitality, but the flavors just didn't quite match our personal preferences.

    1. The hours posted on Yelp was incorrect. They open from 12:00 pm…read more A group of us ordered food the night before for pickup at 12:30pm, on Thursday. Then someone wanted to change from rice to poi. I tried many times and no one answered. Their voice mailbox was full. We e ended going there to make the change. He gentleman looked like he was working be himself. We bads to wait almost a half hour for him to finish the order. 2. Price - the prices were higher than expected. All the plates were $26.00 and up. 3. Food - The poi was very tasty and fresh, although a bit watery. The lau lau had a lot of lean pork filling, not a lot of leaves. The long rice didn't have much chicken and was a bit watery too. We enjoyed the sweet potato. There was also lomi salmon, haupia onion and chili pepper water. 4. As mentioned before there isn't much parking. The restaurant wasn't busy when we got there. Overall the food and service was OK. The price was a bit high.
