ORCHIDS - HALEKULANI HOTEL

Orchid's is one of my favorite restaurants on Oahu.  The food, service and views here are exceptional.  Love it so much that one day I had lunch here and stayed until the evening and had dinner on the same day.  Amazing Waiter on this visit who helped select wines that were reasonably priced and paired well with the food.  Everything we ate was delicious but the stars for me were the Hamachi which melted in your mouth like butter.  The Bone Marrow had a rich and deep flavor that made your eyes roll back with happiness.  My absolute favorite dish is the Mushroom Risotto with Foie Gras and Truffles.  We always order this dish as an appetizer to be shared by the table.  On one visit we enjoyed four orders with our guests.  This is the best Risotto in Hawaii and it is world class.  Better than anything we had in Italy.  I would go back here just for the Mushroom Risotto.  It is rich, creamy, cheesy and the Foie Gras and Truffles put it over the top.  My Wife loved the Tenderloin with Foie Gras.  I took a bite and it was amazing.  The Lasagnette with Prawns and Scallops shined with fresh made Pasta and perfectly cooked seafood.  Blessed to enjoy this incredible dinner with friends visiting from Maui.  The perfect dinner with unbelievably good service.  Loved it!
