A premium restaurant in Okinawa.
This was our first-anniversary trip. Living in different countries, we had been unable to spend my birthday together. She planned a touching surprise, a belated birthday celebration during our anniversary trip, and this was the special restaurant she chose.
Sometimes on a trip, you want dinner itself to become the main event. Rather than rushing from place to place, you set aside an evening for good food and wine.
Steak & Wine KINGDOM, at Halekulani resort in Onna, Okinawa, is worth remembering for just such an evening. It offers carefully selected meats and wines from Japan and abroad, in a calm, elegant space designed for enjoying steak.
Part of the pleasure of choosing a steak is exploring the character of each cut. The direction of the dish changes depending on whether you want the richness of fat or the depth of lean meat. A wine suited to your taste makes the meal more rewarding. The name KINGDOM reflects the restaurant's focus on enjoying meat and wine together.
Alongside the pleasure of exploring Okinawa's modest local eateries, this is a place for making one evening of a trip feel special. If you are planning an anniversary or a relaxed dinner for two, consider making it the final stop of your day.
Price impression: A splurge.
