In the exotic, oceanfront atmosphere of a Mandalay mansion, you'll be served neoclassic French cuisine that many consider to be the finest in Hawai'i. Here, on the grounds of the Halekulani hotel, is a room -- open to the ocean, and with sweeping views of Diamond Head -- as luscious as its menu. French-born chef Yves Garner presides over a menu that includes Hamachi medallions covered with pistachio nuts, roasted Scottish salmon and salmon tartare, and bouillabaisse La Mer-style in a puff pastry. The perfect ending is a symphony of La Mer desserts. Reservations essential. Jacket required.
