Reviews
This was quite the dining experience. We decided to go here while on vacation in Honolulu and everything was excellent. This restaurant definitely focuses on explosive flavor as opposed to portion size, and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent throughout the meal and both the drinks and food were very good.
Had a great dining experience at Senia. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, friendly, attentive, and professional. The open kitchen, surrounded by counter seating, added an exciting energy to the restaurant while maintaining an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. After being seated at a comfortable table, our server thoroughly explained the menu and dining concept. We started with the Ahi Cigars, which were both creative and delicious. The Zucchini Tots were simple yet refined, with delicate flavors that really stood out. The Roasted Bone Marrow was a highlight of the evening. The presentation was original and interactive, featuring perfectly buttered rolls, oxtail marmalade, caramelized onions, piccalilli relish, a trio of salts, and rich bone marrow. The rolls were sliced so you could build your own sandwich, creating a dish that was as fun to eat as it was flavorful. The scallops were cooked perfectly, with an incredible texture and outstanding flavor. To finish, the Banana Lumpia was a beautiful dessert that tasted every bit as good as it looked. From start to finish, every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Senia delivered a memorable dining experience, and we look forward to returning.
We ordered multiple dishes, started with zucchini tots, and had smoked ahi cigars, scallops, bone marrow, etc. All taste just right. Not plain at all. It is balanced and cooked thoroughly. The cocktails are really good, too. They must have great bartenders. The Freddie, the 007, and Dressed for success. Try. We didn't try any large dishes, so no comments on that. Glad to find a favorite restaurant. The servers are informative and nice, too. We had a really good time. Very Satisfied.
if senia was in NYC, it would definitely get a michelin star. each dish was prepared with great attention to detail and it was the small touches that helped elevate the dish to the next level. hits: ahi cigars, a must order. smoky and loved the crunch on it. hamachi tataki, dish looks more like a bed of flowers than it does food. loved how the fish was cut thick so it retains that bite. mad cute how there is like a sprout on the tomatoes and how different parts of the radish are carved in star shapes to give a color gradient. the prettiest dish ive had during this trip. the agnolotti. its like mini dumplings that burst in your mouth when you bite into it. misses: salad felt plain and ordinary, a stronger sweeter dressing is needed to accompany it. dishes missed spice. would have preferred greater spice in some dishes like the kampachi crudo. dessert menu also felt plain and ordinary.
The food here is amazing. I had high expectations going in and they exceeded them! The service was exceptional! The ahi cigars to start were savory and a wonderful way to start the meal. The hamachi was extremely fresh. The agnolotti was a burst of flavor. The salmon was the best I've ever had! It's not a cheap meal but IT IS exceptional!
