Nestled inside Lotus Honolulu, Arden is an award-winning restaurant that celebrates elevated comfort food made with the best of Hawai‘i’s harvest. Executive Chef Makoto Ono and Executive Pastry Chef Amanda Cheng bring a warm, earthy approach to dining, crafting dishes that feel both refined and deeply familiar. This photo series, captured in January and February, highlights a season of exciting new offerings—from the debut of their ‘Ohana menu and a new cocktail list to the launch of their wine cart over Valentine’s Day weekend. It also captures a daily tradition—the family meal—where the chefs cook for the team, including hotel staff, before service, bringing everyone together over a shared meal.
