About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
Our island is full of stories, none more inviting than the one told by the dish in front of you. Known for its modern take on Hawaiian comfort fare, Alaia embraces the community through its support of nearby Mauka Farms, telling their story through every plate, bite, and sip. Using unique, native produce such as apple bananas, Moloka'i sweet potatoes and tomatoes from Pele, a third generation farmer, our culinary team works in tune with the seasons. At Alaia we reap the bounty from the mauka to the makai, working with hand-selected fruits and vegetables from our farm to your table​. We let the quality and simplicity of the ingredients speak for themselves. And we love what they have to say.

    Bizarre menu and slow service makes you wonder if this is the best the Ritz-Carlton can provide its guests at exorbitant prices?!? How about a green salad? Time for a complete do over.

    I had a wonderful dinner at Alaia in Turtle Bay. The setting was gorgeous, and the food was absolutely delicious—especially the chicken and beet salad! What really made the night special was our server, Thomas. He was so warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Thanks to Thomas, our experience felt extra memorable. I can’t wait to go back!

    My fiancé and I came after our proposal, and the Alaia made our night so special. I let them know using the comments what we were celebrating, and the staff went out of their way to place us in a private table for two, provide symbolic leis, and even give us complementary dessert. The food only reflected all of this as well. It was amazing. Will definitely be coming back here when we come to visit Oahu again!

    We were the first guests to arrive. We were celebrating my husbands birthday. There is only one table facing the back kitchen door where all the employees enter and leave and we ended up getting it. Not only could I see the food the entire time but I could hear the dishes clanking in the kitchen. The restaurant should be aware that is a horrible table

    The food is decent but the cost is high and the service is poor. For that cost you’d expect high end service but our server was hard to be found, transactional, lacked knowledge of the menu, and overall took away from the experience.

    We were there celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and had an excellent experience! The service was impeccable and the food was superb. We were treated to an amuse bouche and a complementary dessert, which was so nice! Beautiful views and great ambiance.
