There’s no doubt in our minds that the Hawaiian Islands are home to some incredible restaurants, and while it can be easily argued that the food is the most important aspect of a restaurant, ambiance also plays a role. Even better are restaurants that have the whole package — good food, stellar views, beautifully-decorated spaces, and an unforgettable experience. This gem tucked away at the Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki has all that and more — and should be added to your dining bucket list immediately.
