Kuki’o Beach Club

To balance out all of my other reviews of the cheapest options available, I’ll offer this one of a high-​end eating experience. We were invited here for dinner and drinks on multiple nights by some clients of my wife’s interior design business. Apparently you have to have a membership to get in here, or be invited by a member. I think a membership is in the $ 250,000 a year range, so this was definitely a once-​in-​a-​lifetime opportunity for us to dine there. All of the meals that we had were delicious, but the one that stood out the most was the tortilla-​crusted mahi-​mahi. It was probably one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten in my life. The setting is beautiful, too. They have a regular restaurant with big, sliding doors that open onto the beach or an open-​air pavilion that’s surrounded by lush lawn, trees and the beach. Luckily, we got to eat at the pavilion every night. As I suppose is common in Hawaii, they lit torches throughout the grounds at night, which made it even more beautiful.
