Yakitori Grill Beach BBQ

Beachside over fire: glazed chicken thighs and scored eggplant grilled on a Japanese yakitori box with housemade Hawaiian BBQ sauce. This is private dining with soul.

Snapper Crudo Mosaic

Hand-layered local snapper, radish, and grilled onion in a canoe crop consommé, garnished with edible flowers and foraged herbs. A reflection of both technical skill and island terroir.

Butter-Poached Lobster with Canoe Crops

A rich, elegant plate featuring Kona lobster, local greens, shiitake mushrooms, and a sea urchin-tapioca beurre blanc — all elements sourced locally and plated to celebrate Hawaii’s abundance.

Summer Blackberry Tart with Macadamia Cream

A crisp shortbread base topped with sweet macadamia cream, fresh blackberries, powdered sugar, and edible blossoms. One of many rotating dessert options available as part of a custom tasting or plated dinner.

Branding & Experience

From Launiupoko to Kapalua, I serve guests looking for something more than just dinner — I bring the full restaurant experience home. Custom menus, luxury plating, and a focus on making memories through food.
