Fusion Cafe + Wine

We came here for dinner to try out their new dinner menu and wines and this place did not disappoint! Service was amazing and super quick! The owner came to give some recommendations for our wine pairings and appetizers. We got their baked brie tart for appetizers with a sparkling wine to start off. The baked brie tart was so delicious we had to get more!Next, we had the pork ribs and octopus for our main course and it was pretty good! The octopus weren't too chewy so it was good! The pork ribs was so tasty too and made us want more. They also recommended the best wine pairing for us and the red wine did not disappoint.We had to finish off with desserts and we got the affogato espresso and it was so good! The coffee wasn't too strong and just complement the whole thing really well. It was so good that we have to try their cafe next! Overall, service and food was really good! Definitely will be coming back!

An odd little place. They hosted us for a party when The Charthouse had to cancel our venue. I'd say that our group did not meet the demographics of their usual clients. We found it a little pretentious for our tastes. I will say the food was good, and our hostess was wonderful, but we were grateful we could slip next door to Champs Sports Bar for more substantial grub and a beer.

Unwind at Fusion Café + Wine! Located in the heart of Kaimuki, this cozy spot serves up an incredible selection of wines and mouth-watering dishes--all at prices that won't break the bank. From tender grilled octopus to the rich flavors of Shimeji & Serrano Ham Pappardelle in a white wine butter sauce, every bite pairs perfectly with a glass of vino. The staff is friendly and helpful. Whether you're here for happy hour or a romantic dinner, Fusion Café + Wine has you covered. Cheers to great food, amazing wine, and even better vibes! Only thing is the parking can be hard to find. You can go up their ramp and park above the restaurant or luckily find street parking... so make sure you go early before your reservation .

Charming ambiance [Honolulu HI]We came here by invite from Terry K and also had the pleasure of joining Therese and her hubby, Kevin. The cafe had a nice inviting feel that extended towards the back, the ambiance was dark and chic. The cafe was adorned with Halloween motif.We placed our orders at the counter which was towards the front section and our food were served at our table. I chose the Spinach Mushroom Goat Cheese Omelette and Lemonade for my drink. That homemade lemonade was so refreshing and delicious! Loved the delicious spinach and mushroom in my omelet. Hubby ordered a classic breakfast of Two Eggs w/ Bacon and Roasted Potatoes... wow! the bacon was crispy and yummy and just how I like my bacon cooked. He gave me 2-pieces, maybe because he saw me drooling over it LoL! but I'm telling you, Therese's Wagyu Cheeseburger on Brioche with French Fries looked mighty yummy too!Thank you, Terry, for inviting us to join you for a Sunday brunch. We had a wonderful first time dining experience here with good food and company!Review #3585

Quite a polished gem in my neighborhood, this was a pleasant find!I heard they offered Tea Service and I wanted to experience this with a couple of girlfriends. The Tea Service is on scheduled days, twice a month, and it was easy to make a reservation on Open Table. Our party had a last minute addition and it was easy to call and give them notice for another seat at our table. Thank you Dan for the pleasant call back, phone message, and confirmation :)We appreciated the free parking upstairs and the warm welcome as we arrived. As any Yelper knows, Eyes eat first and wow, there's a lot of pretty things to see here! We were escorted to our booth, a comfy velvety area that fits three or four. A gorgeous chandelier above our table gave it that luxurious pop! Our table was clean and set with fresh anthuriums. Cloth napkin was neatly folded with shiny silverware place setting.From the set menu, we could select one beverage, of which four options have alcohol. There's a corkage fee if you bring your own bottle. Nice offering of coffee and tea, either hot or cold.The tiered presentation is always fun. First level included the savory bites. Their chef had ham and cheese mini croissants, smoked salmon with cream cheese crostini (my favorite), a deviled egg with generous filling, and a brie with fig pastry puff.Second level, their pastry chef prepared a chocolate scone, vanilla basque cheesecake, and an exquisite mini chocolate cake (my favorite). They also had a pineapple coconut Panna cotta in a cup.The top level had two kinds of treasures from their chocolatier. Between the strawberry and lychee bon bon, it was really hard to pick a favorite :) They were both delicious decadent confections.I had so much fun that I returned the next day with two more girlfriends. I wanted to try other menu items and wouldn't you know it, Dan recognized me and thanked me for coming back.Twice in a row, the Service has been great. Twice in a row, the food and beverage met my expectations. Twice in a row, my guests enjoyed the experience. Will honestly return and partake in other menu items and fellowship in a really cute atmosphere.

Amazing!!! This place has great service, great food, and great ambiance. To top it off, dogs are allowed here. Any place that loves and allows dogs are high on my list. We had the afternoon tea and it was amazing with the champagne. Will definitely be coming back again with my fur baby.

Four stars because the food was so good. However, if I could give three and a half stars I would. We reserved their first "champagne" tea service, so I was super excited because that's my favorite thing. While there were lovely bottles of champagne decorating the restaurant when we arrived, not one of the drinks on the menu actually contained champagne (which is actually an important distinction). There were two drinks made with a crémant (sparkling wine from France, but not champagne). In every other champagne tea service I have tried, a glass of champagne is typically included alongside your tea service. For this it was a list of several tea drinks and two crémant cocktails of which, you could choose one. The space is nice and clean with a pretty modern vibe and would be nice for lunch or a coffee when out and about. The staff was also super friendly and seemed really happy to be hosting this event. As mentioned previously, the food was really good. We started with a salad which was so light and refreshing, I was tempted to ask for seconds. The tea sandwiches and sweets were also really good and filling. The chocolates were flavored, however, only one of them actually tasted fruity. The other one just tasted like plain chocolate.I'd like to go back for lunch sometime or maybe grab a coffee or tea next time I'm in the area. However, I likely will not reserve this tea service again.

I found out about this place from IG and the tiramisu mocha really caught my eye! My friend and I came in for an afternoon pick me up. First off, this place is so cute! A coffee bar in the front and towards the back are more tables and booths which I'm assuming is for the restaurant/wine bar side that starts in the evening. I ordered the tiramisu mocha and it was fantastic! I love my coffee sweet and tiramisu is one of favorite desserts so it was perfect to me. The mocha was rich and the cream cheese cold foam topped it off nicely. It even came with a little biscotti cookie! It is a little pricey though because I think I paid a little over $11 for my drink (including tip). But hey it was not an average coffee or latte so I thought it was worth it for the most part. The barista who helped us was friendly and she even gave us a piece of chocolate on the side with our drinks! Which was also really good. I definitely recommend checking out this spot to satisfy your sweet caffeine fix!

I was able to get a reservation for the holiday high tea. There were good and bad points. The Peppermint mocha did not have Peppermint. The beet salad was excellent. I loved the deviled egg. The fig tart was so so. Instead of smoke salmon, chef changed it to a ham and cheese sandwich. Rather disappointing since I love smoked salmon. The crostini was good. We had an assortment of macaroons instead of the pumpkin on the menu. We had no idea the flavors. The pumpkin lie scone was extremely dry. There was no butter or clotted creme. The chocolate cake was also dry. The best item was the cheesecake. There was a blueberry topping. If you like fluffy cheesecake then you would like it. Parking... terrible. Ramp is very steep. Very little parking on the roof. It is a tight squeeze. No turn around. Need to maneuver to turn so you can go down the ramp head first. You are better off looking for street parking. I heard that they are moving. Hopefully the new location has better parking.
