Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Pearl City

Great service and meal, as always. We sat outside which was lovely, weather was perfect. It can get very noisy inside.

We went to “Upstairs” right after they opened at 5 pm. Our server, not sure if he ever introduced himself, was very good. Knowledgeable about the menu items, gave us some recommendations based on his experiences at this restaurant, and even offered me a cup of green tea “on the house”. He recommended a guava crème brûlée (not on the menu) and it was DELISH! We are definitely going back!

The food was very good and tasty. Their food is different from anywhere else. It's pricey - little over $200 for two. I guess you are paying for the quality (largely locally sourced) and unique menu items. The service was very good (Kainoa). We ordered 6 dishes for dinner. The first 4 came out VERY quick, but the next two came out separately and took a lot longer. We wanted it all to come out the same time. We also ordered dessert. The portions were small, but tasty. We sat in the side room where it is smaller and the tables are very close together. Everyone will hear your conversation. It's not bad, but lacks ambience. We would go back.

Foods and the service were great. I decided to pay the tip 30%.

The most inventive and delicious fine dining experience on island. Elevated Hawaiian Regional Cuisine. Sublime and creative.
