Collab Dinner: From Waikīkī to NYC: A Modern-Day Lūʻau

Featuring Hawai‘i’s Most Historic Resorts: The Royal Hawaiian and The Moana Surfrider

Embark on a culinary voyage to the shores of Waikīkī, where chefs from two of its most historic and iconic hotels—The Royal Hawaiian and the Moana Surfrider—prepare a multi-course dinner showcasing Hawaiʻi’s rich culinary and cultural heritage, from traditional Hawaiʻi’an feasts to the bold flavors of the islands’ immigrant communities.

Guests will be welcomed with a signature Mai Tai and passed pūpū (hors d’oeuvre), followed by a five-course menu featuring modern interpretations of ingredients sourced from Hawaiʻi’an farmers and fishermen. Many of these ingredients are traditionally cultivated and harvested in harmony with the lunar cycle, reflecting ancestral wisdom and sustainable practices. Don’t miss this epicurean odyssey celebrating flavor, tradition, and innovation.

This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
