Herringbone makes the list of top 10 meals I’ve had in my life. I had numerous dinners in NYC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, across Italy, France, Spain, Turkey and Switzerland but this topped them. The atmosphere was superb. Comfortable, yet beautiful and spacious. It has just the right amount of lighting that would work for a business dinner or a romantic night out. From the moment we walked through the door the entire staff was accommodating. They all had true smiles on their faces, making me feel like they enjoyed working at Herringbone.
Amanda, our server, was stunning. She had the perfect mix of kindness, conversation and information while giving us time to enjoy ourselves as well. Her and her team of server assistants, food runners, and bartender were on top of our every need and well informed about the food they were serving.
The food, which to me is still the most important was divine. The presentation of every dish was thought out and the portion sizes were large. The whole lobster came at a very reasonable price of 35.00 and was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The tomato and burrata salad had tomatoes with good flavor, which is hard to come by in Hawaii! While the burrata melted in our mouths as it should. Nothing was over salted. The chef must buy quality food and allow its natural flavor to do its job. We also had the whole fish of the night, which was an Opakapaka (pink snapper) that had been lightly fried. It was delicious as well and fed us both!
We just happend to walk into this place as it looked very appealing from the outside and we were fed up of eating at yawacha. Then we find out it's the same owners and we're ready for another cullernary experience!! The food was simple but exquisite with fish 🐟 that's been perfectly cooked. Most of all the manager made our dinner very special as he comped a dish and really knew his stuff about food which was a delight!! Great place and fantastic decor cooking from London UK 🇬🇧 I'm spoilet but this was worth the money 💰 ✨✨✨✨✨
We booked in to Herringbone as a special treat (compliments of my amazing Mum!) while on holiday in Waikiki, and we weren't disappointed.
We started with Better Mules & Gardens and Wings. The Mules were really nice, not too sweet and very refreshing. The wings were deliciously crispy and frenched, making them very easy to eat one handed. With pickled veg, crushed peanuts, and peanut sauce it was the perfect start to the evening and generous enough to share.
Next came the Sailboat platter and a couple of glasses of the Justin Sauv Blanc, which complimented the seafood nicely. Most seafood platters back home bulk it out with hot fried food like chips, fish ect, but this was two layers of deliciously fresh, cold seafood with 6 sauces and vinaigrettes. Everything was great, and this was our first time eating King Crab - wow! I've never had such massive, meaty, crab legs and claws.
What better way to finish the evening that to be surprised with a complimentary chocolate tart saying Love Mum after she sent them a lovely message on FB.
