We started with drinks, they have a great selection of all alcohol and some great original cocktails. I had a yuzu drink that was splendid! Then we shared the small seafood tower...it was plenty for 4 of us as an appetizer. It had all sorts of cooked and fresh seafood, a true splurge. I had the Ahi Mignon, a wonderfully fresh block of Ahi that was prepared with a wonderful sauce and seared just right...raw inside. Mom had the lamb chops, which were cooked medium to perfection. The creme brulee had the crispy crust and a soft creamy center. Our server was wonderful, very busy but always had time to dote on us. This is one of the few places that has that seafaring/Trader Vic's ambiance left in Hawaii. Just like the old Spencecliff Restaurants in Hawaii in the 70's and 80's, it brings back nostalgia. I know that no place is cheap in Hawaii any more, but this place is definitely now a splurge for special occasions. I hope I can come back one day and afford it again! read more

This was one of those experiences where the setting tries to carry the entire meal, and unfortunately, it doesn't quite succeed. The food was very underwhelming. Bland across the board. The lamb was cooked properly, but lacked any real flavor, which made it forgettable. My father's short rib was bad enough that he sent it back entirely and settled for a salad that honestly looked like something prepackaged from a grocery store. The cheesecake was fine, but nothing memorable. The one redeeming factor was the view, we had a great look at the fireworks, which definitely helped salvage the evening. That said, our table was right next to scaffolding, which made it feel like the place was mid-construction. Given the high prices, the overall experience just doesn't justify the cost. You're paying for the location, not the food, and even that comes with caveats. I wouldn't go back. read more

Forgive me Yelp! It's been years since I've written this review- pay attention as there are many changes Icon Joey sold his interest in this restaurant. The new owners renovated the restaurant. It is now bright with new furniture and a new concept. Do not expect the "Charthouse" menu. The menu is now designed with a local and island faire That said, some menu items remain the same. The steak and seafood are what you would remember of the original Charthouse. They now serve brunch. With a main brunch entrée comes a mimosa on the house. Kamaaina discount is offered Metered parking available at a dollar an hour. Structured parking is still the same. Go there or be square! read more

Really loved this restaurant! Came right when it opened for brunch! Brunch had a special for free mimosas with entree purchases so we got a couple and got to choose fun flavors! The short rib loco moco was recommended to me and I loved it! It melted in your mouth and I loved how orange the egg yolks were (you can order eggs cooked how you want, I just like a runny yolk). The coconut pancakes were also amazing. Full of flavor and perfect overlooking marina. Our server was really helpful and had great advice. The restaurant itself had a lot of fun character and still up to date. Makes sense to me why this is a staple of downtown! read more

Pre wedding celebration dinner with friends. The restaurant was very busy and having to climb the stairs wasn't expected As an appetizer I ordered the shrimp. They were cooked perfectly and quite large! The lobster tail was incredible! It was steamed perfectly and was served with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. Everything was delicious The crème brulee was a bit mediocre. It was cold, solid and not very creamy. The top was not caramelized. Overall a good experience read more

Newly renovated. Best thing I can say. Good views of the Ala Wai harbor. Menu is definitely pricey even for Honolulu. Most entrees 40-70 and they don't include a side. How do you like your $14 fries add on? Or $13 asparagus? There's no reason a restaurant that charges $70 a steak can't throw a few cents worth of veggies and starch on the plate!!!! I had shrimp, avocado and mango stack app for $29. No effort in terms of flavor. All 3 ingredients were fresh but all beg for something. Definitely some salt. Very bland. Staff was inattentive. Never checked on me. Took forever to get their attention even at the bar. They were too busy chatting with each other. Also was an off shift staff member at the bar that was too drunk and very obnoxious. Will not be back in spite of its proximity to where I generally stay. read more

Let me put you on to the happy hour at the Chart House, Honolulu. Been going here since I was a kid! And I'm so grateful that even with a shift in ownership, the classic dishes like the stuffed mushrooms, escargo and black and blue ahi are still heavy hitters on this menu. But pro tip is ordering the happy hour kimchi calamari. For those who are purists with their calamari, ask for the sauces on the side and squeeze the fresh lemon on top. Leave the sauces for dipping if you so choose. Comes on a bed of tempura veg and is just such a mountain of fun we highly recommend. read more

Worst atmosphere due to worst musician I have ever heard who talked more than he sang. Food was terrible. Ordered Oyster's Rockefeller and they were covered with Thousand Island dressing. Awful and pricey. Entree was Mahi Mahi with mango salsa. Mango's were raw and crunched and Mahi tasted fishy. The bill came and was incorrect in favor of the restaurant. There was also a charge for "convience fee". Would not recommend. read more

ON 2/31/2025 our family kicked off our NYE celebrations with dinner at The Chart House Waikiki. It was a winner! Table was ready on time. As requested we got a harbor view. Service was very timely, attentive and friendly. I had the local Cod butter fish and it was perfectly seasoned with a lemon beurre blanc, juicy and succulent. Our grown kids had the 3 course menu with rock cod, one had Ahi and the other rack of lamb. The lamb was a little tough. The sea bass was best ever and the ahi was perfectly prepared. The bananas foster cheesecake was sweet and very tasty. The mud pie was huge and we wiped it out but wished it was more traditional with hot fudge and nuts. We left very full and happy to walk the mile back to the hotel for a little exercise. This is a great place to dine for a special evening on your vacation! read more

Wow. Just wow. The miso butterfish (black cod) special absolutely blew me away. I usually don't order fish on the mainland unless I'm at a Chinese restaurant because most places overcook it, but not here. The fish was cooked perfect and the sauce was phenomenal. Rarely do I say this but this special blew me away. Michael our server suggested this (I was between the special and the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi and he said I'd like the miso butterfish) and he was 100% spot on. If the miso butterfish is available, get it. I also got the peach mocktail and it was very tasty. Mac salad and mashed potatoes as sides were also delicious. Highly recommend this spot. Will be back next time I'm in town. They also had live music when I was here which added to the nice ambience. read more

I came here for dinner with a group of friends. The restaurant looks a bit on the older side but it's right by the water and there was live music playing. It was definitely a busy night as the restaurant was quite full. I ordered the garlic shrimp which didn't come with as much as I would have liked but they were pretty big. I enjoyed that the most out of everything we had. I also tried the special of the night which was a butter fish in a miso sauce. It was nice and tender but the flavor was too sweet for my liking. Our server was very friendly but it was hard to flag people down for simple things like refilling our drinks. It was a nice dinner but with how pricey everything is I definitely think you can get better food elsewhere in Waikiki. read more

Located right on the harbor, close to affordable paid parking and in an open air building. My party ordered a few drinks like Mai Tais and they were good. We also ordered oysters and they were my favorite, creamy, flavorful, not too oceanic. We also ordered the calamari and it was cooked well, not rubbery. I ordered the braised prime short ribs with beans and a side of mashed potatoes. You get quite a bit of meat, enough for two, in my opinion, same with the potatoes so keep that in mind, especially if you're going to eat pupus. The meat was tender and the sauce was good but a little chunky. I tried my partner's butterfish and it was flaky and mild. Our server was quite attentive. It's a nice place for a date or an gathering with family and friends. You could also catch the sunset! read more

So this was my first meal during my return to Hawaii. I'm a sucker for a nice view and live music and this spot had both. I was quickly seated near a patio and had my drink order taken. I got the oyster as an appetizer and it was not what I was looking for and/or expecting. Definitely would not order it again. For my main, I got the steak and it was amazing. Right temp, good mash potatoes, and crisp asparagus. All in all it was a great meal and I would definitely be back when I'm in Waikiki. read more

First time back to the Charthouse in years. They just finished their face lift and the restaurant looks great. Still the same set up but everything is new. We had reservations in the bar during happy hour to listen to the live music. This place is kind of crazy busy during happy hour. The regular menu here is pretty pricey but during happy hour the pups menu lists a wide variety of plates priced at about $13. So, if it is getting close to 6:00 all of the tables start ordering a lot of plates so the kitchen gets swamped. We had a couple of orders we cancelled because they forgot to bring them. The food is good and the music on this particular night was excellent. Seems to be a regular hangout for some of the patrons. Parking without validation is $5/hour. I paid $5 total but some friends ended up paying $25 even with validation. I will return. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience! We visited this establishment on two separate occasions, during our vacation.

Our food and service was top notch. read more

Sarah, our server, was perfect! Just the right amount of attention. We came for happy hour and had cocktails and pupus.

We came here for dinner and were surprised it wasn't very busy, now we know why. Side note: Even if you come during happy hour, you can't order from the happy hour menu unless you're sitting at the bar. Not exactly welcoming. Our drink server seemed like she didn't want to be there, unfriendly and rude. Thankfully, our waiter was much nicer and took our orders right away. Unfortunately, the food took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, everything was lukewarm at best. I ordered the French onion soup, which used to be my favorite dish on their menu. This time, it was a total letdown. The cheese was melted, but the soup itself was cold. The crouton was soggy and a blob of mush, and the presentation was totally unappetizing. I wish I had taken a picture to show just how sad it looked. We also ordered the poke nachos and that was a complete disaster. One bite and all I could taste was an overwhelming amount of mayonnaise and gooey teriyaki sauce. The chips were soggy and chewy, like they'd been sitting out for days. We let the waiter know, and he kindly offered to replace it with fresh chips and the sauce on the side. Unfortunately, the second batch was even worse. We ended up picking off the fish on top, but even that was mushy and flavorless. Big fail. To their credit, the waiter was very apologetic and had the dish removed from our bill. But still, the entire meal left a bad taste in our mouths, literally and figuratively. Now, let's talk about the bill. If you have a party of six or more, they automatically tack on a 22% gratuity. Seriously? This is not a fine dining experience by any stretch. We normally tip 20% for excellent food and service, but 22% for this? Ridiculous. And to make matters worse, they don't accept Landry's gift cards, even if the card says it's accepted at Chart House on it. Apparently, this location is privately owned. Super lame and misleading. We're all about supporting local businesses, but this is one place we absolutely will not be supporting again. Major disappointment from start to finish. The 2 stars are for the free bread and butter. That was the most enjoyable part of our meal. read more

Since reopening, I have been to Chart House two nights back to back for happy hour. It was just that good. They have two pau hanas, which is amazing: 330-6p and 9-midnight. Both times I went late at night with some friends and ate a little bit of everything. The portion sizes are large and the price cannot be beat. The edamame is also the perfect mix of chili and sweet. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the food so far. I even accidentally ordered the zucchini and was so grateful that I did because I finished everything. Food can be paired with $10 wine/beer/cocktail specials. The kitchen moves fast and so do the waiters. Parking is always easy in the harbor to top it all off. I do hope that they continue to keep this up because it can be a great option if you're looking for a late night drink with some views or even coming to watch the sunset. I can see this becoming a regular for me. read more

Delicious Sunday brunch. I had mochi chicken & waffles which were delicious. My husband had an excellent omelette.

We went for happy hour and it was really packed! We were seated by the bar and the servers were pretty friendly! We ordered their happy hour items, including their pork ribs, escargot, oysters and baked oyster. The pork ribs was pretty tasty and their baked oysters was good too! Their fresh oysters, though wasn't as fresh as I thought it would be, but still pretty good! Their escargot was definitely the highlight of our meal. It was tasty and not too oily! We also got their dragonfruit cocktail and it was really fresh, but I can tell it was a bit watered down. Overall, we had a great experience and it's a perfect place to enjoy your food and watch the sunset! read more

The view is awesome. The menu is overpriced and the food was mediocre. My wife and I had the clam chowder and my wife said it was good and I thought it was ok because we've had better. I have a hard time paying $65 for a steak when I can smoke one at home for ¼ of that price. My wife also had the house salad with grilled chicken. She said the chicken was dry and they gave you zero choice on dressing. Our group also shared fried calamari which was tough and stringy. Calamari is very sensitive to being overcooked. Overall, none of us were impressed with the food. The service was almost too good. He tried to take one of our groups glass that still had 1/2 finger of whiskey in it. They were definitely quick to clear your dishes almost to the point of it being too aggressive. We definitely won't be back. read more

Rating: 1/5 Date Visited: 04/2025 Service: 2/5 Food & Drink: 1/5 Atmosphere: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Parking: 2/5 AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! This is a TOTAL Tourist TRAP! I will NOT RETURN and let others know that this place is a complete waste of money. I would rather go hungry. NOT Affiliated with the "LANDRY'S" Restaurant Group, and should NOT be until certain standards are met. Gift cards that have the Chart House name & Logo are not honored here, probably because they have no honor This so-called restaurant, sells gift cards. Why the hell would I want to give a gift of a 1 star lunch or dinner experience?! Are you out of your mind?! Also, you are required to leave a credit card to hold a reservation. This is understandable, but to secure a bad meal?! Wow! It's been a while since I've done a review, but I had to chime in on this place. I will save you time & money if you take my advice and review seriously, as I have over 500+ reviews. Service: Our Waiter was friendly and somewhat accommodating. As for the appearance of the staff...there is a lot of standing around, sitting around and much more that is realated to the words..."Just here for a paycheck." Don't get me wrong...Our waiter was great and not responsible for the actions of other employees who are responsible in getting our food at our table at a reasonable time. I observed only 2 "Locals" that worked at the time of my dining. Could this be the reason? Food & Drink: The industry standard from ordering to food delivered to table is 12 minutes. It took over 1 hour, with the restaurant NOT, in any way shape or form...BUSY. It was NOT Busy. I would be ok with 30 minutes with the type of food I ordered. If you desire a "Steak," DO NOT GET IT HERE! In fact, just don't go here! Atmosphere: It appears that there had been a recent remodel to the restaurant, which is good because my previous visit about 15+ years ago, seemed very run down. Price: NOT Reasonable. Spent around $180.00, with tip for 2 people. You pay for the little view that they have and the location. ***Kama'aina Discount not given here*** Parking: Nothing to complain about. $5.00 with valadation. There is also public metered parking. Possibly free metered parking, but I can not confirm. Most public metered parking enforcement ends at 6pm. read more

Went to here to celebrate my 25th Birthday on march 25th 2026 and I have to say that I was VERY disappointed with the food. First of all, the seared black and blue ahi tuna was bland and tasted nothing but a hint of spice and not to mention that this was $29. Then I had the bison burger that I ordered it medium rare and it was well done. For a burger that is priced at $31 you would think that it would be perfectly cooked and at least more than just a 8 oz burger. The size of the burger itself was just too small for the amount that you pay for. Then my brother had the signature prime rib and he ordered medium rare and ended up getting medium well. The last time we came here was over 10 years ago and I didn't expect the quality to go down this bad. Would not recommend this place to anyone and most likely not come back. read more

Valentine's Day was hecktic ans we didn't know where to go. I'm so happy that they accommodated us. With just 45 min wait. And let me tell u, they was sooooo awesome with removing us from the booth area and offered us a lanai chair. With it being 6pm on a Friday night. You already know what that means! Hilton Fireworks at 745!!!! Our server was really nice, welcoming and polite. She was very attentive when it came to serving us. The one person I disliked that came to our table was the only rude one here. We was only 1/4 way into eating our food and she legit came to us and said "are u done? Can I get anything out ur way?" Ummmmm....am I being punked? Anyways so. We ordered the pupu sampler which contained oysters, zucchini and calamari and chicken wings. The chicken wings was for sure frozen all ready battered ones and u just gotta heat it up! Meeh! The coating for the calamari was falling apart. It's not fresh calamari either. It's frozen ones. It felt like it was baked rather than deep fried because the coating didn't stick. The zucchini was coated in cheese and panko. It's zucchini. The oysters Rockefeller was a disaster! It was cold and slimy. Still raw! How can u have a Rockefeller and ur oyster still raw. Mind u, oyster was TINY!!! it was just spinach and hollandaise sauce garnished with paprika. It was so watery. Imagine grilling a hard to open shell of oyster and shucking it and see all that liquid in the shell from the oyster. Yup, it was watery like that! The 1lb rib eye was not good AT ALL! No seasoning, hard AF, dry and burnt. Their utensils need some sharpening cuz when I cut into the steak it didn't cut it at all but nearly Chocolate lava cake - what a disappointment! It's like....they microwaved the "cake" and garnished with heath crumbs all over the plate then put the two vanilla scoops on it. The shock from hot to cold made the chocolate from the health candy ended up getting stuck to the plate. And the "cake" was soooo hard I felt like I was eating a brookie (brownie cookie. The end part) I felt like this place wasn't anything of a fine dining type of place but more like a BAR! The only good thing about this place is the money shot for Friday nights firework show. Other than that, I wouldn't come again. read more
