Hawaii | The Most Memorable French Dinner of My Life on Oahu's Shore

Celebrated my birthday in Hawaii this year, and this dinner was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! ✨🎂 💁 Service 5+ stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️➕ When I made the reservation two weeks in advance, I mentioned it was for a birthday. Upon arrival, the hostess confirmed and led us to a "surprise" seaside table—unfortunately, it was already dark, but if we'd come earlier, we could’ve enjoyed the ocean sunset too! 🌅 Our meal was served by a team of three waitstaff, led by the most elegant head server. His knowledge and grace made us feel like royalty. 👑 At the end, they even gifted us a birthday cake + small present! 🎁🍰 🍽️ Food The menu is curated (no decision fatigue!) with options for 4 or 7 courses, plus wine pairings. We chose the 7-course ($295/person)—every dish was a masterpiece, zero regrets! 🎨 (Note: I had a cold, so skipped wine and opted for mocktails—still delicious! 🍹) ⏳ Experience The dinner lasted 3 hours, but it flew by! Between the ocean breeze, sound of waves, and romantic ambiance, it was pure magic. 🌊💖 (Pro tip: Dress code enforced—no shorts for men! 👔) 💸 Price After tax + tip, it totaled $1,150 CAD (thanks, awful exchange rate 💸😭). Worth every penny though—even for someone who doesn’t usually love French cuisine, this was unforgettable! 🥰 A once-in-a-lifetime birthday dinner! Perfect for anniversaries/Valentine’s Day too—request a seaside table; you won’t regret it! 🌴 #RomanticVibes #FrenchCuisine #HawaiiFineDining #SpecialOccasion #DateNightGoals
