2022 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef Northwest & Pacific.Rooted in the local farm-to-table movement — a place where seasonality and culinary tradition are celebrated in tandem. One part Hawaii and one part Brooklyn. The atmosphere shares a brasserie feel with a laid-back island sensibility—a celebration and homage to all of our favorite things we enjoy eating and drinking. Crafted with brick & reclaimed wood, our urban Hawaiian farmhouse features an open kitchen, lush plant wall, brick walls, and lots of natural light in a historic Chinatown building. The bar mixes classic and modern cocktails with artisanal flare with a well-curated wine list.

This restaurant is on every best restaurants in Honolulu list, so I felt compelled to try it. Dinner on a Wednesday night and they were fully booked. We had appetizers, cocktails, entrees and desserts. Everything was great or excellent. My only quibble is that the rice noodles in the Pho 75 were too soft. We enjoyed the food and experience so much we are returning to try the lunch menu. Restaurant is vibrant and energetic. Great for socializing and conversation. I can confidently recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely one of the best meals I’ve had on the island so far. Lifelong food enthusiast who has traveled all over the world for the best food. This was certainly one of the better meals I’ve ever had, clearly the best on the island so far. The atmosphere is incredibly casual for this level of food. And almost all of the servers were exceptional.
