The food was really good, but the portions a bit small. The ox tail pot pie was so tender and tasty.

We had the pleasure of trying the Christmas Course at NatuRe Waikiki, and it was an unforgettable experience! Each dish was a work of art, beautifully crafted with a festive Christmas touch. The flavors were nothing short of perfection, with every bite showcasing the chef's incredible skill and attention to detail. The wine pairings were thoughtfully chosen, adding the perfect accent to elevate the entire dinner. It was a truly magical evening, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary delight! Highly recommended!

We are supper diners and we recommend making reservations. They get busy. With reasonable expectations anything you order will be satisfying. I wouldn't say that they are a budget venue, however, fair for what you receive. They always have a chef special for steaks and seafood as well as a catch of the day entee. Their cheese and salumi platter is a great start for 4 guests with cocktails. Hope you enjoy!
