We started the night at @halekulanihotel with unique and innovative cocktails at LâAperitif Cocktail Bar at La Mer. Followed by an amazing French-inspired cuisine at Hawaiiâs only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes 5 Star restaurant â La Mer. La Mer makes you feel some type of way. The food itself is a passport to a travel experience. The dishes suddenly transported us to a fine-dining restaurant in the South of France.
