4.3 / 5.0(1,741 reviews)

We had such a great time here! The chilled vibes with the ocean, the sand, and the trees around made it feel so relaxing. The menu has plenty of options with nice local flavors. We tried the ahi poisson cru, cured salmon Benedict, ube cinnamon roll, and some fresh orange juice. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and the staff were really friendly too. One funny thing, there were pigeons everywhere! The moment they spot an opportunity, they’ll swoop right onto your table and try to steal a bite. They’re cute, but also a little annoying😂 our lovely little companions at Hau Tree. Nice and cute. Disclaimer: The pictures that you normally see online are curated to show a very specific part of the restaurant. Call ahead and make reservations. Ok now to my experience. Food was really good with beautiful presentation. My favorite was the Eggs Benedict, we got the signature ones and the salmon ones, both were very good. Not much of a fan pf their version of “Shakshouka”. Its a very different dish than what i know as shakshouka in both flavor and presentation. Not a fan, but to each their own. Beautiful spot and very good service. The person serving us was very helpful and attentive, also made great cocktails recommendations; always a plus. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful dinner at Hau Tree! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, and the oceanfront setting made the evening extra special. It’s also a great spot for families — our toddler loved her meal and enjoyed watching the boats go by. Such a relaxing, baby-friendly place with amazing service. Highly recommend for a lovely dinner by the water! ✨

We had the most amazing last meal of our honeymoon here. The sunset was just stunning. The ube pina colada was incredible. Focaccia and pasta also great. Service was amazing, such lovely staff. They made the night very special for us - even bringing out some congratulatory sparkling wine and dessert on the house. Could not recommend this restaurant enough.

Our experience at Hau Tree was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was beautiful, and our server Gabe was the best we could’ve asked for — so kind, attentive, and truly made the night special. The Wagyu sirloin was incredible (especially with the dip 🤤), and the eggplant, local fish, and burrata with tomatoes were all to die for. Thank you, Gabe, for making our anniversary dinner the best! Easily one of our favorite meals in Waikiki — 10/10 recommend! 💕
