Easy Five stars all around. Beautifully executed food, with truly outstanding plating. Solid cocktails with attentive service was a total highlight and truly elevates the food scene in HNL. Influences of Per Se and French Laundry can be felt, but what makes this restaurant glow is the Hawaiian aloha. The wait staff was professional and helpful but also relaxed and approachable. We were expecting some pretentiousness but were surprised and happy how inviting and relaxed it was.

This was the best meal we’ve done in Honolulu. Every course was well thought out for flavor, presentation, and the pairing with wine. We sat at the chef’s counter, and the interaction was worth every penny. The kitchen staff was friendly and fun. Chef explained everything and answered many questions my son (16) had for him.

5-star food and service 15 minutes away from Waikiki beach. I chose Senia for my birthday dinner with my wife and my 6-year-old son and couldn’t be more happy about it. I was welcomed with a birthday card signed by all employees, everyone that interacted with us was super helpful, polite and professional and we had amazing food accompanied by the best service at Senia. I also appreciate that everyone was very nice and accommodating to my son (which is not a given in fine dining restaurants).

Only a few tables here! But the experience is great and service is warm. Didn’t order the larger format stuff but the regulars were right on taste wise and plating inventive. Only complaint might be the pacing… They seem to have a clear way they pace the courses and didn’t ask if we wanted any other way.

I’m being critical but no doubt the best meal I had in Hawaii. It was also the most expensive meal of my life, quite easily. So in that way slightly disappointing that my hunger had only lapsed after dessert despite ordering and finishing 2 starters and a main by myself. The lamb ragu was a little small and very al dente. The experience as a whole certainly not one I regret, it’s hard to imagine fine dining counter seating being any better. Walking in I was blown away by that alone. The main dining area looks awesome as well if you’re in a group. There are also so many little details that have clearly been given a lot of thought, and time fine tuning. The presentation of the cutlery, elegant blue of the water glasses to match the coasters. The entire layout of the kitchen must have been designed with the counter seating in mind, you can watch almost every step of the process unfold before you. The service was seriously busy but patient, knowledgable, and never felt rushed. Presentation very creative – the smoke unveiling on the cigars pretty much hit the full 5 sensory experience. The honeycomb presentation of the honey butter that pair with the Madelines – eye catching. The parfait was different, personally I don’t know if that combination of textures worked or if I liked the presentation, especially the plate. I’d return for the tasting menu if I’m ever back on the island, but it was meal more memorable for the experience and the price than the quality of the food.

Senia was one of the most hyped-up restaurant openings in Hawaii’s history. Set in Oahu, an island that is often referred to as one of the earth’s closest representations of paradise, Senia had to deliver food fit for the island’s paradisiac reputation. In my dinner experience there, it not only met that expectation but exceeded it. Senia is easily the best dining experience the state of Hawaii offers today. Its renowned chefs have masterfully crafted a fusion of haute cuisine and traditional Hawaiian ingredients. The highlight of the meal was certainly the bone marrow, both in taste and presentation. Most of the dishes were seafood-based however but they perfectly blended fresh local ingredients such as corn and other vegetables. The service was impeccable as well, providing an elegant but not overbearing explanation of each of the dishes, how they were meant to be enjoyed and how it connects to Hawaiian culture. Senia jumped into the Oahu culinary scene to attempt to redefine it and set a new standard for it. I can confidently say it did redefine the island’s culinary scene and set the bar much higher than any other establishment there dared to raise it before.

The world food tour duo dined at Senia at 5:30pm on a Saturday … we had to make our way between the people waiting to enter Pig & the Lady next door. While waiting, we spoke to an Australian couple that had a reservation at Senia the day prior but had problems as the restaurant didn’t open at the time of the reservation. Hmmm, we hoped that wouldn’t happen to us and, drum roll please, the doors opened at 5:30pm and we were their first patrons of the evening.

Our favourite restaurant in Hawaii (besides podmore which is the sister restaurant/ bar to Senia). We have been here twice now and are booked to go again next week, food is incredible, the quality is *chefs kiss*, presentation is beautiful too. The food is really some of the best myself and my husband have had and we are foodies that have travelled all over the world. Being that I’m from the Uk i really have missed PROPER chips, not fries, but proper chunky chips, so I was so happy to see them on the menu and they didn’t disappoint I really recommend Podmore too for more British influenced food like English breakfast, Bubble and squeak and sticky toffee pud. The staff are so lovely and attentive In both places. Highly highly highly recommend checking them out, they are usually pretty busy so I’d recommend booking in advance!
