Pahu i`a
While the restaurant's centrepiece is a brilliant aquarium (pahu i`a in Hawaiian), its focal point is the vast cobalt blue ocean and rhythmic, rolling surf mere steps away. At your table, Executive Chef James Babian and his team pay homage to Hawaii's bounty and the surrounding Pacific Ocean. Legendary Four Seasons hospitality and service welcome you in an inviting atmosphere of relaxed and casual elegance.
Naupaka Terrace, an extension of existing lanai (balcony) seating, offers panoramic views of the ocean in an intimate setting. Its name reflects the naupaka kahakai, a native Hawaiian shrub that grows wild along Hawaii's beaches. Its white blossoms appear to be only half of a flower. Legend says that the flower is made whole by joining it with a "half flower" from the naupaka kuahiwi (mountain naupaka), which grows upland.
