Michel's Review

This dining room, on the sand at Sans Souci Beach, has windows that open to the ocean air. One side looks toward the sunset, with torches on the breakwater, and a hula moon above the palm fronds; the Waikiki skyline is visible on the other. All tables have ocean views, and dining here is less stiff and more welcoming than in bygone years. Jackets are no longer required for men, but collared shirts and long pants are preferred. Chef Hardy Kintscher has added his touch to the classics (onion soup, steak tartare, chateaubriand, bouillabaisse) and prepares fresh seafood, vegetarian creations, and rack of lamb with restraint and creativity.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
