Pier 38 to your plate. 24 hours or less.
We don’t use wholesale mainland supply distributors when Hawaiian fishermen and organic family farms are right down the road. Every Oʻahu dinner is built on verified archipelago sourcing.
Honolulu Fish Wholesalers (Pier 38)
Morning Dock FreshSourced fresh through certified Honolulu Fish Auction wholesalers and morning dock landings at Pier 38 — featuring day-catch Hawaiian Yellowfin Ahi, Shutome (Swordfish), Mahimahi, and Opah.
Waimānalo Greens & Herbs
Same-Day HarvestHarvested under the Koolau mountains: crisp micro-cilantro, edible hibiscus blossoms, baby arugula, and peppery nasturtium that never spend days in cargo transit.
Kahuku Farms (North Shore)
North Shore OrganicGrown on the northern coastal plain: sweet strawberry papayas, sun-ripened lilikoi (passionfruit), apple bananas, and organic citrus for our reduction glazes and handcrafted desserts.
Hawaii Local Meat & Game

Frequently asked questions about Oʻahu dining
Signature dinners run $125–$190 a guest with all groceries and ingredients included. Stay Chef service runs from $850 a day (plus groceries at cost with original receipts provided), and Date Night for two runs from $450. The 20% service charge and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.7120% appear on their own lines — the written quote you receive is the confirmed total.
We cook island-wide: Waikīkī, Honolulu, Kahala, Diamond Head, Ko Olina, Kapolei, Kailua, Lanikai, Hawaiʻi Kai, the North Shore (Haleiwa, Sunset Beach), and Turtle Bay. The North Shore and Turtle Bay carry a published travel fee from $75; all other zones are base zone with zero travel fees.
Yes, provided the suite has a real kitchen (stove, oven, sink, prep counter) and building rules permit private culinary vendors. We issue the required Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming your property management and schedule the freight elevator window. Hotel rooms with only a minibar or coffee maker are declined honestly at inquiry.
Our executive chefs bid in person at the Honolulu Fish Auction (Pier 38) at 5:30 AM on service mornings for auction-grade sashimi yellowfin ahi, mahimahi, and shutome. Produce is sourced from Kahuku Farms on the North Shore, Waimānalo Greens, and local Hawaiian cattle ranches.
Under Hawaii DLNR state regulations, commercial structures, catered dining tables, and amplified setups on public beach sand are strictly prohibited without specialized film/event permits. The model that works seamlessly is having your sunset drinks on the sand, followed by dinner on your private villa lawn or residence lanai.
You receive an itemized written quote first. Only after you review and approve the exact menu and numbers do you pay a 50% deposit to lock the date on the chef’s calendar. The balance is settled following service. Gratuity is entirely voluntary.
