Fishing - Honolulu

Fantastic food, cocktails, service and ambience. This was by far the best meal that we have had on the islands over the past week. Very fresh and innovative menu. It was also very convenient since we stayed at the Lotus Hotel.

Japanese chef worked magic with fish dishes; among the best Asian inspired I have ever tried. Vegetables were truly excellent and a meal on their own. The dessert was very good but limited choice of only 2 of which one was chocolate. The “baked Hawaii” with mango sorbet was technically excellent and the contrasts of the components perfectly executed. Still I have some reservations on the total taste; the ingredients worked but the sum of the total left a little disappointment.

Our dining experience at Arden was magnificent. Relaxing environment, locally sourced ingredients, unpretentious vibe, delivering a feeling of luxury. Our server was knowledgeable and guided us through the menu confidently. This will remain in my memory for years to come.

Excellent meal. The Argentine Cab Franc is outstanding. Agree with everyone else about the mushroom rice. We really enjoyed the shishito peppers and prawns as well. We will definitely be back.

The food was excellent, very authentic Hawaiian grilled fish and meat with a lot of flavors. The overall setting could be improved to decrease the noise level. Nevertheless great experience overall.
