Absolutely incredible! The staff took such great care of us, and the food was delicious! Everything was so fresh and tasted amazing. We did mixtures of some appetizers and smaller plates and got the crispy pork belly which was fantastic! We could look into the kitchen and see the whole experience and I just made the cooking to table experience that much more fun. place was so romantic and very intimate, highly Recommend!

Loved my first experience at Sera. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu had a nice selection of food and also had a very reasonably priced set lunch that we ordered. The food was very good tasting. We had a very nice time chatting and enjoying the meal.

Great anniversary dinner. Our waiter was awesome! I didnt like the cocktail I initially ordered and he was quick to bring me a new one to fit my liking. The food was incredible and to top it off we got to see a gorgeous sunset over the water. Overall we had a wonderful experience and will be back again.

The Hau Tree Lanai is a wonderful place to have dinner. The menu is small but the food is exquisite. We enjoyed the grilled lamb chops, a Caesar salad, and roasted potatoes. All were delicious.

    Three of us went to Happy hour on a Tuesday at 5:15. It was crowded with a nice vibe. We had fish tacos, hummus with taro chips, which they refilled, & Szechuan green beans, which they happily prepared without oyster sauce for the vegan in our group. The lilikoi margarita was delicious. Service excellent. Such a fabulous place!

    Attentive service and a chef's tasting menu that has a diverse range of food offerings. All tasty and worth the price. I enjoyed watching the chef make the food in the open kitchen right in front of me. The mocktails I had were refreshing and went well with the meal. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone who takes food seriously.
