Had a surprisingly great experience at Olili. We had the luau set course for restaurant week and it was very delicious. The elevated Hawaiian food was spot on and they had solid portions. We ordered the matcha and 2 of the whisky based cocktails and they were delicious! The drinks were better than most other bars and restaurants serve. Overall the ambience is modern, service was good, and the portions were solid. Definitely another excellent Foodland restaurant product.

I did the vegan tasting menu and my husband did the meat tasting menu and they were both incredible. You cannot share because the portions are small but the flavor is worth it. We added on the wine pairing and it was all very well thought out!
