I can't afford to shop at Bloomingdale's yet, there is an item worth purchasing at this high-end department store. I read an article when this store first opened in Honolulu at the Ala Moana Shopping Center, mentioning that the world-famous plain frozen yogurt has finally arrived to Hawai'i. It seems that over forty years ago, Bloomingdale's introduced this yogurt at their flagship store in New York City. Through the years, diners at their Forty Carrots restaurant at various city locations have raved about their plain yogurt, making it a highly recognized item with Bloomingdale's. I wanted an afternoon snack, something small to satisfy my craving but not heavy enough to fill me up before dinner. I headed to third floor of Bloomingdale's to Fort Carrots, yes, for a cup of their plain frozen yogurt I've been waiting to taste. There were different types of toppings I could choose from or, enjoy the yogurt plain. I read the most popular topping is the melba sauce, made from raspberries. I was welcomed by a friendly team member who promptly took my order and immediately started to create my sweet treat. Drizzling melba sauce into the cup first, she then filled the cup with their famous plain frozen yogurt and finished her creation with another drizzle of the sauce. Handed to me with a green spoon, I took my first bite....yum. Not too tart plain yogurt, creamy in texture yet melting quite fast, the melba sauce was a tasty compliment without being too sweet with a just-right consistency. I enjoyed each spoon as I slowly exited the department store, after browsing through the men's department which was also on the third floor. If you shop at their sister store, Macy's, which I find much more affordable, than pass on the shopping at this luxury department store and head straight to Forty Carrots for a treat. Their plain frozen yogurt with melba sauce is something I would recommend if you're searching for a light breakfast item, snack or dessert while at Ala Moana Center.

Very fresh salads which have some very cool ingredients. A very good range of smoothies and juices.

A good range of fresh salads with a good combination of flavours. Very simple ingredients but a nice change from greasy food. A great range of specialty juices and frozen yogurts. We also enjoyed the free wifi here.

This place is fabulous. The food is awesome and the service was outstanding. Really recomend checking this place. Very easy to get in, no long waits for tables here. The servers here really know how to take care of their guests. Prices are very reasonable and the amount of food given always fills me up. Recommend checking this place out if you want a nice quiet place to eat and delicious fresh food.

I'd been excited to dine at Forty Carrots since learning that it has launched the local careers of several well-regarded Hawaii-based chefs. Unfortunately, despite sampling dishes across the menu I left underwhelmed given the hype and price point (expect to pay at least $30 p/person for lunch not including tip). The food leaned toward farm or ocean to table and was underpinned by good, albeit a bit stingy amount of ingredients. Service was very stretched - one waiter was running around covering the entire noon-2pm rush. The decor is blah and seating tight. So, not a great choice for anything intimate or even private. Hate to be so negative, but this place just did not meet expectations. My recommendation - get one of their smoothie or frozen yogurts to go and shop on for a different full restaurant.

Da food here is so Ono. No long waits here to get one table. Da waiters here are really nice and know how to take care. Prices are very reasonable and da portions are big. Ordered da koreana bowl and my friend ordered da veggie poke bowl, both were so ono. Dis place is awesome and will be coming back to check out more of the menu. Heard da lobster loco moco is da bomb.

Good food but the wait time was a bit long. Most things were a bit pricey.

One of my favorites restaurants in Honolulu. Fresh, local vegetables and seafood. My favorite dishes are the ocean salad, veggie poke bowl, and crab soup. So delicious! Excellent service and very clean, intimate atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem!

Pity that the service was indiiferent. I was reccomended the lobster on the menu but the waitress stood arms akimbo and took my order verbally and from a distance.
Very sad. No traffic. Just an depressing place to eat.

Came across this delightful little café in the middle of Bloomingdale's. And to my surprise the food was absolutely amazing gourmet status. This is one of the best meals I had during my stay on the island.

It's good

Sadly, the flavors seems to be mainly about salt. The bouillaibasse appetizer, which I got and had two pieces of shrimp and a quarter square inch of fish only, was very salty. The French dip was way too salty, too. Appetizers such as the potato chips and caviar are probably good for two people only. The shrimp appetizer was supposed to have four pieces of shrimps according to the server, but came with only three. It's not worth the money for what we ate today.

Food was excellent. Staff refilled drinks promptly. Their froyo does not have the sour taste a lot of people dislike.
