Pahu i`a
Sweeping ocean views and brilliant island sunsets provide a magnificent backdrop to the oceanfront dining experience of Pahu i`a, where the indoors are caressed by tradewinds, the waves illuminated by the stars and the gentle surf endlessly soothes.

While the restaurant’s centerpiece is a brilliant aquarium (Pahu i`a in Hawaiian) its focal point is the vast cobalt blue ocean and rhythmic, rolling surf merely steps away. At your table, our chefs pay homage to Hawaii’s bounty and the surrounding Pacific Ocean. Combined with legendary Four Seasons hospitality and service, it is an inviting atmosphere of relaxed and casual elegance. Seats 125.
