When I heard the Four Seasons Resort Oʻahu at Ko ʻOlina was offering a brain massage, I knew I had to check it out. With a rambunctious toddler at home and a demanding full-time job, my current wellness plan involved hours of reality TV and bottles of wine. This sounded a lot … healthier. In December
Since it opened in December 2016, Senia (pronounced SEN-ya) has been one of the hottest restaurants on Oʻahu—and arguably in the state.

We’ve all heard it before. We’ve also probably said it ourselves, too: “This isn’t what it used to be.” And: “I remember when this place was less crowded.” It’s usually the first thing we say when we return to a place 10, maybe 20 years later. Except this time, I’m saying it a month—a month!—after
It’s been a few years since chef Vikram Garg, best known for overseeing the award-winning restaurants at the luxe Halekulani in Waikiki, has been back in the kitchen.
