Holy Steak House - Faaa

We got there during happy hour (5:30pm 6:30pm) for half priced cocktails, the mojito with passion fruit was quite tasty. We were also able to watch the beautiful sunset from our seats. The lamb shank and duck breast were both delicious and the service was good too.

The best burger throughout the island of my opinion after. had a great time here and the eating was excellent as well as service.

Ok, first things first you should really be eating all of the fresh seafood in Mo 'orea, not visiting a steakhouse. That aside, this place is pretty damn good. We came twice, first on New Years Eve and again on our last night out before heading back home. We were picked up from our bungalow both times. The steak was consistently awesome. I 'll describe the rest of each experience, as they differed slightly. On NYE, our waitress was quite salesy, though good on her for working it. She definitely pressured us into a new years special cocktail without mentioning a price, and we took the bait. Unfortunately, those glasses of champagne cost 2800 xpf each. She recommended a starter, which was a trio of salmon, and it was fantastic. It was huge, and neither of us really needed a main course after that, but it was delicious. Smoked salmon sliced thin alongside a salmon rilette, both topped with salmon roe, and served with grilled bread. I 'd recommend this for sure, but have 3 4 people to share it with. For mains, we got a steak with seared foie gras on top (side of truffle mashed potatoes) and the seafood trio with three types of lobster (side of stir fry veggies). The steak was insane. Perfectly cooked, red in the middle, with an inch thick slab of seared foie gras on top that absolutely melted in your mouth. It was pure decadence. The truffle mashed was over mashed for my taste (I like some chunks of potato) but the flavors were spot on, not too much truffle, and it was a huge side. The lobster was better than I expected perfectly cooked, buttery, and not a single bite that tasted rubbery. Came with two tails of slipper, one tail of spiny, and a tail claw combo of your regular lobster. The slipper might have been the best of the three. The veggies were nothing special, mostly cabbage and carrots julienned in some sesame vinaigrette, but if you 're looking for a healthier side option, it wasn 't bad. We had a couple of martinis with our meal, way more reasonably priced than our intro cocktail at 1400 xpf each, and overall, thought the meal was pretty incredible, though we left a hefty chunk of our wallet there. On our second visit, we took things down a notch. We had a couple of drinks at home before going over, but ordered martinis again. This time they were a bit funky... I 'm not sure if they were overly vermouthed? Honestly, I thought it tasted like there was lime juice in them? Anyway, a bit funky and disappointing. Also disappointing? The parmesan salad we split to start. It sounded like a caesar, but it was more like a bowl of limp lettuce with some croutons, a little tomato, a ton of parmesan, and a side of blue cheese. I was hoping for something closer to your average steakhouse caesar, which is usually a highlight. What wasn 't disappointing? Our mains. The steak was again, absolutely perfect. This time I ordered the duck, which was good, though not the best I 've had. It was the right color of rare pink inside and really tender, though I was hoping for a fattier crisper skin on the outside. I ordered mac and cheese as my side, but they were out, so they made me an au gratin instead, and I didn 't miss the mac and cheese. This side was way too much for one person, and it was crispy and burnt around the edges like it should be, while soft and gooey in the middle. Don 't worry, I ate every last bite. Overall, I 'd recommend Holy Steak House. It was one of the best meals we had while in Mo 'orea, and if you have folks in your family who aren 't fans of seafood, this will be a great place to take them.

Great view and friendly staff, but they didn't seem as sincere as elsewhere on the island. My daughter wanted 5 stars for the excellent chicken ceasar and the crem brule served in a coconut half which she said was as good as she ever had. But I have to average that down for the mediocre hamburger which was at least served with outstanding fries.

Awesome awesome food and great service. Good portion size too . My moorea shrimp is super good. Gratin is also to die for. Highly recommend.
