Hau Tree Lanai

Waikiki


A beautiful beachfront setting under an arbor of three namesake hibiscus trees brings retirees and tourists back to this open-air pink-tablecloth restaurant on Kaimana Beach. Perennially popular mainly for the views; the pricey menu has dashes of Hawaiian flavor from classic breakfasts to casual lunches and onto more formal seafood dinners.
