Grant Kawasaki follows the Kahuku Sea Asparagus from the farm to Ola with Chef Fred DeAngelo.

Since opening in December of 2005, the vision that Owners Chef Fred DeAngelo and his wife, Cheryl, have for Ola at Turtle Bay Resort continues to catch the attention of Hawai’i residents and visitors to the beautiful North Shore of O’ahu. The concept, cuisine and atmosphere of the open-aired restaurant that sits literally on the beach is summed up in it’s name, “Ola,” which in the Hawaiian language, means “life, living, healthy and alive.”

Chef Fred DeAngelo delights guests with his innovative “Contemporary Hawaiian Cuisine” and partners with local farmers to offer the freshest island products in his dishes. Hau’ula Vine-Ripe Tomatoes and North Shore Cattle Company Beef are just a few of the items that are incorporated daily. Fresh fish and other seafood are readily available and offered throughout the menu, along with vegetarian selections to appease all palates.

Ola offers a wine list for even the most discriminating guest and carries 58 wines by the bottle and 42 wines by the glass. Wines from across the globe grace the menu, along with a delicious selection of dessert martinis and tropical drinks made with fresh juices.

While the restaurant definitely transforms itself into a romantic hideaway on the beach and has been the site of many marriage proposals, it is also becoming a popular place for families and their special occasions.

Just released, Ola is the 2006 recipient of the ‘Ilima Award for “Best New Restaurant of the Year- Critic’s Choice, gained national recognition by Sante Magazine by being named “2006 Most Innovative Restaurant” for the West Coast of the United States and captured a 2007 Hale ‘Aina Award for “Best New Restaurant.”
