Michel's Restaurant Description:
Located oceanfront at the Colony Surf Hotel, Michel's serves French cuisine as well as some contemporary fare with Hawaiian influences.
Michel's, after a period in the doldrums, has emerged as renewed force in the local dining scene. That's great because the location is incomparable: an elegant room that's opens on one side directly on the beach, with the surf pounding the shore only 40-feet away. Dinner here is a sort of sunset beach picnic with linen, china and chandeliers. The kitchen under Hardy Kinscher improves each week: fresh opakapaka with a delicate potato crust on a bed of fresh spinach, duck two ways (roasted sliced duck breast and leg confit), shellfish salad with lobster and scallops wrapped in pancetta. You can still get classics here like Caesar salad, steak tartare, escargot and beef Wellington. But the new menu is worth investigating. Under Philip Shaw, the wine list has also improved with a remarkable collection of New World Pinot Noirs. Soufflés, of course, for dessert, with Grand Marnier as the favorite. In addition, Michel's is a welcome addition to the late night Waikiki scene, with a special menu after 10:30 p.m.
