Two course dinner plus dessert, Glass of wine and their appetizer sampler cost right @ $320 including tip and was worth every penny of it. I would suggest as have others that the earlier the better for dinner as it is less crowded and the sunset on the ocean is beautiful. more

Whatever Zagat or a tour book tells you is the cost, add $100. We did the two course + dessert and a glass of wine with the first two courses - the bill was $330. Amazing food. The view is amazing. Be sure to book right when they open so you can see the sun set (although you do not... more

We came to Honolulu for our anniversary, and heard wonderful things about La Mer. We enjoy good food and don't mind paying for it, especially if it is a special occasion and we're expecting a great experience. The Halekulani hotel is gorgeous, and the restaurant has spectacular views. The service was friendly and attentive. However, all of this was overshadowed... more

I think you really should be a foodie to eat at La Mer. The complex menu items can easily be lost on most restaurant goers. The setting over looking the beach is gorgeous. I would recommend this restaurant for a very special occasion. more

This is simply the BEST meal of my life! I read it was good but I was overwhelmed with how good the food was! If I could, I'd steal the chef and hire him to be our personal chef at home. The food was not only delicious but beautifully artfully presented. I have a serious photography addiction and took over... more

While Honolulu restaurants generally are sub-par compared to international (or US mainland) fine dining, La Mer excels. The service is outstanding and attentive; the food is well priced, delicious and served in an appealing manner. If you want to spend money on fine dining while in Hawaii, don't go anywhere else. We had the 9 course degustation menu with matching... more

Firstly, to give you an idea, my wife and I eat at fine dining places a LOT. We have eaten in some of the most amazing restaurants in the world such as Kaika in Tokyo, and Joel Rebuchons Tapa's bar in LV. We had very high expectations and in most respects we were happy. Firstly we booked a while in... more

We had an interesting experience at this fabulous restaurant and, because of that, our return to Honolulu is only a matter of time. We were on a 15 night cruise San Diego-Hawaii-San Diego and there were only 2 evenings that we would have a chance to dine off-ship. After much research, we decided our evening in Honolulu had to be... more

First off- we are really hard to please... fussy foodies. The dining experience at La Mer was memorable. The waiter was attentive, but did not hover. The menu was eclectic, but balanced. We will return. Well worth the price. more
