2004 'ILIMA AWARD WINNER - FINE DINING
When it's time to dine (as opposed to just eat), these are O'ahu's most revered places.


Best French Restaurant
LA MER, Halekulani hotel

Dinner at La Mer is the gastronomic equivalent of a spa day — both luxurious and soothing. Chef Yves Garnier's award-winning and exquisitely refined "neo-classical French" menu is the luxury. The view of the sea and Diamond Head, and the distant strains of Hawaiian music from House Without a Key creates a time-out-of-time feeling that persuades you to go slow and savor each morsel. Try the degustation menu.
