Honolulu's most romantic restaurant.

Have been going there for over 30 years. Food and ambiance are both excellent.

A top shelf restaurant, but with a top shelf price

This was a beautiful restaurant on the Waikiki beach with great food and great service. Great view of the ocean with people playing in the surf just on the other side of a low wall. Everything was first class and it was definitely a very romantic place. This is not a French restaurant at all, either in its style or its menu. However it was very elegant. The $20 to over $30 price designation is somewhat misleading. Don't expect to get away from the table here for less than $100 a couple unless you plan on being very frugal. We went there for our fifth wedding anniversary and I believe that it was worth the $150 plus $25 tip that we shelled out. Per person that included one glass of wine, a salad, an entree, and a cup of coffee, and we shared a single dessert. If you buy appetizers, a full bottle of wine, or cocktails, you can quickly pass the $200 per couple mark. Entrees are priced from $18 to $49 (our choices were about $38 each), but entree portions are sized to warrant a salad, appetizer, or dessert for a reasonable sized meal unless you're a light eater. All in all we loved our meal at Michel's, but be sure to bring lots of money or a credit card.
