Modern French restaurant · Waikiki

"You could come here for the ambience alone. The gorgeous open-air dining room on the eighth floor of the Ritz-Carlton provides a serene view over Waikīkī, but the modern French cuisine and cocktails would be worth your time even if they were served in a bunker. Choose from a three- or four-course prix fixe, where recent standouts on the ever-changing menu included fried frog legs with escargot and dry-aged duck a l’orange with berbere spice. The restaurant also serves as the entrance to Sushi Sho, another spot on this list." - Martha Cheng
