Amazing Thanksgiving dinner. Fries and caviar, sizable Charcuterie plate, rich butter it squash soup, moist turkey, stuffing, whipped potatoes, decadent pecan pie. Chef Vikram Garg’s special touches on each dish made it one of the best TH dinners ever.

Pleasant surroundings with a good view of Diamond Head before dark. Excellent service, but food could be improved upon. For the price I expected better. For example, the “short ribs” came as a cube of densely packed meat. Although the sauce was excellent, I would have preferred short ribs. And we were disappointed in the “hamachi crudo”. The pieces were small and badly cut, decorated with a variety of artfully designed flowers and garnishes. Okay, but not great. The fish should be the focus and should be served with small crackers or tasty bread. We had to order flatbread for $12 to accompany that course.

The menu at TBD is fixed-price from which a customer chooses 1 appetizer from 4, 1 seafood item from 3, 1 meat or game item from 3, and 1 dessert from 3. Our party of 7 made many different choices and we uniformly expressed great delight with the choices we made - the quality of the food and its presentation was outstanding. From the beginning to the end of the dinner, the service was impeccable - we were never rushed, no dishes were removed from the table until all of us were finished with the course, clean silverware was given for each course, ordered drinks arrived at just the right times, and the servers were uniformly friendly and informative.

This was my seventh visit to TBD. I keep coming back because the service is awesome and the food superlative. I have a dairy allergy and last night the chef didn’t just serve the fish or pork chop without the dairy sauce, he made the same sauce without dairy. This is pretty unheard of and a prime example of the care chef Vik takes with his diners. The menu was prix fixe and every dish was thoughtfully conceived and beautifully cooked. I’ve gone here for special occasion dinners, business meals and solo dining. The service and food is consistent in its high quality. Will be back soon. Thank you Chef!

The atmosphere was quiet, clean and intimate. Service was excellent. Food was delicious and quite rich as is often the case in French cooking. The negatives in this coursed meal was the portion size in relation to price. There could have been 1 more course for a more complete meal. More veggies would be nice. Finally, the ratio of main courses to dessert was off. My dessert was larger than my main courses and it left me with too much sweetness.

The ahi tartare, pear salad, Maui onion soup, and lamb shank Tajine were fabulous. The 2 desserts were to die for: croque-en-bouche with caramel sauce, and then a chocolate bar with a side gelato (can't remember the name of the dessert!). Service was excellent and attentive. Get the fixed price menu- it's a bargain!

My second time at TBD. lI love the food and it’s a great space. I highly recommend TBD for locals and visitors alike. Plenty of free parking. Our waiter got slammed with a huge group and the service fell off a little. Maybe they’re short handed; who isn’t? Nonetheless, it’s one of Honolulu’s best restaurants and I can’t wait to go back.

We dined last night for a birthday celebration. This was both our first time at TBD and with a reservation at 6:00, I thought it would have been a bit more quiet sitting by the window but a few feet away was this large table filled with doctors. They were so loud especially this one doctor that was drowning our conversation out. A private room for a large group of people would be a thought? However we both enjoyed the food very much and will be returning sometime in the near future. One more note...Daniel our waiter, was pleasant, efficient and professional and took care of us from the moment we sat down till when we paid the bill.

We enjoyed our lovely and delicious meal in the beautiful surroundings. Our waiter Daniel was exceptional. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the menu and also very friendly. We had the scallop risotto which was wonderful and the steak frites with melt-in-your mouth deliciousness. We were celebrating our birthdays and were delighted to receive a complimentary dessert. Highly recommend!

I was very disappointed with the food. However, the service was excellent. It didn't seem like the restaurant was doing very well. They are clearly cutting quality ingredients and putting lots of ice in drinks to improve margins. I honestly felt cheated by the experience.

Went here with my wife for our anniversary. Food was pretty good some dishes were hit or miss. Service was disappointing and exprly poor in my opinion. Server wasn’t really knowledgeable in the menu. Extremely understaffed which was sad because the food was pretty good but the service or lack there of left a bad taste in my mouth. Shame on management for this…. Either step in and help or don’t take reservations you can’t handle. Never offered coffe while some tables were and never checked to see how the dishes were, our filet was sooooo undercooked practically blue… we did not finish it.
