Every action and every word is done or spoken as if every guest could see it, taste it or hear it. We are the best because we want the best for our customers and for ourselves.
Menu styles
Passed Apps
Passed Apps are one- to two-bite offerings hand passed on service ware made from reclaimed Big Island wood. The variety of flavors and hand-crafted presentations set the tone for your event.
Family Style
Family Style marries the rich selections of our buffet menu with the artful creativity of our plated options, so you can spend more time sharing and less time standing in line. We highly recommend family style for almost any event.
Plated Ideas
Plated Ideas allow you to experience fine dining anywhere your imagination can take you — among rolling pastures on an Oahu ranch, near soft-breaking waves and glistening sand, atop the hills overlooking Honolulu. Menu choices are served in succession by our industry-leading service team, creating a restaurant experience on par with the island’s best brick-and-mortar establishments. Our exacting service, careful planning and professional execution will make your event one to remember.
Action Elements
Action Elements is all about engagement – engage with our cooks, engage with the ingredients and enjoy a window into our culinary world. Dishes are prepared and plated in front of your guests. This menu style requires more time for dining as not everyone can carry three or four dishes back to a table.
Beautiful Buffets
Our Beautiful Buffets consist of double-loaded chafing dishes made of reclaimed Big Island wood, stylish designs, natural elements and efficient layouts are hallmarks of our buffet service. Ask our office staff how we can make your buffet experience unique and memorable.
