This restaurant is the creation of award-winning French chef George Mavrothalassitis, who moved to Honolulu in 1988 and ever since has focused his talents on perfecting a cuisine that couples French technique with fresh Hawaiian ingredients. The restaurant has no wine list—instead; each dish is served with a glass of wine that complements its ingredients. For special occasions, the six-course meal, priced at $220 with wine pairings, is an indulgence you won't forget.
