We had a wonderful dining experience at Michel’s! The food, service, and ambience were all excellent. Thank you, Craig, for your outstanding service — you made our evening even more special.
We ordered the 5-course meal and the New York steak, both of which were exceptional. Unfortunately, we had to leave before dessert due to a prior engagement, but Craig kindly took care of packing our food and dessert so thoughtfully.
Highly recommend Michel’s at the Colony Surf for anyone looking for a memorable fine dining experience in Honolulu.

Our waiter Sy was amazing first off. Very nice restaurant with beautiful sunset views. The salmon was the best I’ve ever had in my life. My husband had a steak and lobster and it was delicious. Our son had the beef Wellington and he said it was amazing. We were celebrating our anniversary and they brought us a wonderful crème brûlée. The best I’ve ever tasted. We still did order the bananas foster as that’s my husband‘s favorite and that too was amazing. The entire staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely return.

The view alone was worth the trip. The souffle, bouillabase, and escargots were exceptional. Every part of the staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. Celebrating my wife’s birthday here was a wonderful experience.

My wife and I came to eat here on our very last night of our honeymoon and it was so well worth it! Our sever Jahdi was very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food was amazing and we had an incredible view of the oceanfront right where we were sitting. I highly recommend this place!

I had a course meal here,
but it was honestly a very disappointing experience.
The dishes came out way too slowly, the seasoning was off, and the meat was tough.
The staff were friendly and polite,
but as someone who came to enjoy a special meal, I left feeling quite let down.
Even a friend who often visits this place said this visit was disappointing.
I mentioned that it was a special occasion, but there was no acknowledgment or celebration at all. The only thing I truly enjoyed was the coconut cheesecake — it was delicious.

Excellent food and service to match. The 5-course tasting menu showcases two of their table-side preparations: lobster bisque and Caesar salad. (Don’t tell Hy’s, but this one is better.) The wine pairings didn’t always match for us, but all were lovely on their own. The staff is attentive without being intrusive. Our server Michael was welcoming, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We will be returning in a few weeks for their monthly wine dinner.

10/10 experience!!! Well, there’s free parking for starters! Wonderful food and amazing drinks. We have not one complaint. Everything was perfect. The Salmon entree was very tasty and the angel hair pasta was a great choice. The NY Steak entree was perfect and very flavorful. The presentations were nice additions to the experience. I try Banana Foster in every state possible and this was the absolute best I’ve ever had. It was not over doused in caramel sauce or unnecessary crumbles, it was satisfyingly simple, which was perfect for my taste. Like I said 10/10 experience.

First time visitor. Fine dining beach front. Specifies strick dress code but somehow a person went unseen with
obvious profanity on their shirt kinda blew the ambiance. Food was delicious. Our server (pictured) was very attentive. Beautiful sunset view. Steak and lamb chops were superb. Atmosphere well worth the costs of food and drink.

This is an iconic restaurant that truly has proven itself since 1962. The quality of the food and exceptional service make this an amazing experience coupled with the views of the Ocean. Our Maitre-D greeted us warmly as we entered and all the waiters and wait staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Chef Hardy was kind enough to come out and greet us as guests and even made us a little something special to celebrate my birthday. I would highly recommend the amazing establishment as the pricing for the exceptional quality was just amazing!

Super fun tasting menu with incredible staff. Our waiter, Kelani, was so kind and helpful. It’s right on the water and I have sensitive eyes so he brought me an assortment of sunglasses to pick from!! That alone shows the care and quality of the restaurant. The tasting menu was so much fun and very tasty. Great for an upscale date night.
