Chefs' Counters
Experience and immersive culinary experience at Senia
BY Krystal Kakimoto
For those craving an original, innovative and invigorating dining experience, Chef Anthony Rush and his culinary team at Senia are opening their doors for an intimate, behind-the-scenes look into their kitchen at their Chefs’ Counter Tasting Menu dinners. The highly anticipated restaurant opened in 2016 and quickly became one of the hottest spots on O‘ahu’s culinary scene with diners flocking to their Chinatown location. Senia’s premise centers around artistically plated creations that utilize the highest quality ingredients prepared in imaginative techniques. Chef Rush’s attention to detail is shown with his delicate and dramatic plating that encourages diners to first eat with their eyes before taking a single bite. Now, Chef Rush offers eight lucky guests the opportunity to partake in an immersive experience as they witness the orchestrated magic of his kitchen during the coursed meal which is offered Fridays and Saturdays during a single seating at 6:30 p.m. The Chefs’ Counter incorporates a variety of products from mauka (the mountain) to makai (the sea) encouraging guests to experience a full expression of the taste of the ‘āina (the land). Guests can also indulge in an optional wine pairing that presents flawless matches with nearly every course to enhance the ingredients and preparation styles.
