The 30-second verdict
Mina’s is Ko Olina’s big seafood night: terraced decks that step down to tables in the sand, towers of shellfish and the lobster pot pie. It is expensive, with entrées from $52 to $128, so the 4 to 5 p.m. pau hana is the smart way in.

Known for
Michael Mina’s Lobster Pot Pie
Lobster and market vegetables in a truffle brandy lobster cream, under pastry: $128, and the first signature Four Seasons names. The other headliner is the Hawaiian seafood tower, cold or char-broiled with red miso butter.
What to Order
From the dinner menu dated August 25, 2026: the lobster pot pie ($128); the shellfish assortment of lobster, shrimp, oysters and king crab, cold ($150 petite, $270 tower for three or four) or char-broiled ($145 or $265); Michael’s ahi tuna tartare ($36) with Asian pear, pine nuts and habanero-sesame oil; miso glazed sea bass ($65) with bok choy and ginger dashi; and a side of Spam fried rice ($20). For dessert, warm cinnamon sugar malasadas ($17). The four-course Mina’s Fish House Experience is $140 a guest, served family style, and the whole table has to order it.
Decks, Bar and Beach Tables
The restaurant seats 213 inside and out. It steps down from a big bar and dining room through terraced decks to tables on the sand, with the Pacific in front. The bar stays open until 11 p.m., pouring tiki-style cocktails and local drafts. Ask about the seasonal Dinner with the Fish Sommelier, a tasting led by the restaurant’s fish sommelier.

Getting There and Parking
Mina’s is at 92-1001 Olani Street, inside the Four Seasons, about 25.9 miles and 35 minutes from Waikiki without traffic and 30 minutes from the airport. No TheBus route enters Ko Olina. Use the resort valet and ask to have your ticket validated; overnight valet for hotel guests is $55 a night. From Aulani next door, walk the lagoon path. The Ko Olina guide and Ko Olina map cover the rest of the resort.
Rental car
Drive to Ko Olina
Ko Olina is 35 minutes from Waikiki and no bus route runs into the resort, so a car makes a 4 p.m. pau hana easy. DiscoverCars searches the island’s rental agencies in one go. Compare Oahu rental cars on DiscoverCars.

Could be better
It is dinner only, and the prices are steep for a fish house. The kitchen opens at 4 p.m. and closes at 9, entrées run $52 to $128, and a party of six or more pays an automatic 18% fee. The pau hana hour is the value play.
Consider Instead
- Roy’s Ko Olina costs less for a Ko Olina dinner: its $59 Twilight Prix Fixe includes the misoyaki butterfish, and it serves lunch daily from 11:30 a.m., when Mina’s is closed.
- ʻAMAʻAMA fits a table with vegan or gluten-free diners: its $140 four-course menu is almost completely gluten-free, with a plant-based version of every course, Wednesday to Sunday.
- Monkeypod Kitchen is the casual option for families: open daily 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with wood-oven pizza, poke and a keiki menu from $9.
Tips Before You Book Mina’s
- Arrive at 4 for pau hana. Cocktails from $14, half-off featured Champagne and $3 oysters until 5.
- Book ahead. The resort recommends reservations, on OpenTable or at (808) 679-3347.
- Ask for valet validation. Hand your ticket to your server before you pay.
- Dress resort elegant. No swimwear or bare feet in the evening.
- Size the tower right. The tower serves three or four; the petite serves one or two.
- Tasting menu? Everyone joins. The $140 Experience needs the full table; the pot pie is an $85 supplement on it.
- Drive over from Waikiki. See renting a car on Oahu.
