    Cocktails at the bar during sunset. Perfect. Seated early when our table was ready. Waitress greeted us and set up our whole dinner as we desired. Food was excellent and plenty of it. But by the end of our meal we could see our waitress was overwhelmed by the now full house and she could not get to our table in a timely fashion. Eventually she came around, we ordered dessert (Kona Affogato excellent!). But we had to wait a fair amount of time for dessert to arrive. When it did, I had to eat quickly as we were trying to catch a shuttle back to our hotel. Had to ask the busboy to bring our check to leave on time. Otherwise, this was one of many times we’ve been here. I highly recommend, food is always outstanding, the bar venue overlooking the ocean and sunset is amazing!

    Our second visit to Hau Tree, this time just the two of us, and it was just as memorable. The restaurant is currently undergoing renovations, but it didn’t affect the experience. We were happy to see our previous server, Conor, and requested to sit in his section—he was amazing last time and didn’t disappoint. With a new menu, we asked for his recommendations and ended up with a customized pizza and the birria tacos—both were outstanding. The pizza had a rich, smoky flavor, and the tacos were absolutely delicious. Huge thanks to Conor for the great service and suggestions. A perfect date night!
