I would not recommend The Deck Waikīkī, especially for a special occasion. We went here for my birthday dinner on our last night 3/2/2026 and got basically zero service. We waited 20 minutes with no server until the host had to take our order. Our drinks didn't come until after we finished our first appetizer. Not one server checked on us the entire time. Different people kept dropping food off without saying anything. We had to flag down two servers for ranch and drink refills and never got either. The margarita pizza, truffle fries, and sliders were disappointing and tasted like something I made at home. No one asked if we wanted dessert. I finally had to walk up to the host stand to ask for the check because no one would bring it. Don't know if we were treated this way since we are a young couple and servers don't expect us to tip but after this we for sure did NOT tip. $73.31 for two mocktails and bad service. Completely ruined my birthday dinner. Not worth it. Edit 3/3/2026: business owner says he hopes he can make amends but this was a vacation and I have no plans on coming back anytime soon. You can make amends by refunding us for this disappointing service. read more

Brunch on the deck with the views were top tier. The braised beef loco moco was savory and delicious; however, my friend didn't enjoy his Tokyo Style pancakes. It started raining while waiting for our food but we were quickly reseated at the bar. I appreciated the quick reflexes of the team. read more

We arrived an hour before closing but they had run out of sushi and some desserts which was disappointing. Service was ok just not super friendly, or very knowledgeable when asked about certain dishes. Our drinks took a while to come out, mind you two were fountain drinks and the other a simple captain and coke. Food was a bit better in speed and while they were actively cleaning and prepping for closure our food came out well cooked and portions were rather large. Two members of our party had salmon which they liked, and I had the fish tacos which were huge and fresh. I opted to add an additional which was a huge fail on my party as two were plenty. Decent meal overall but one of our least favorite dining experiences since being in Waikiki for the week. read more

We went to Deck. during their happy hour. We didn't order drinks, but got calamari which was heavily seasoned and served with an aioli. The squid pieces were a bit small and it was a tad salty. The truffle fries on the other hand were lacking distinct flavor. I ordered the island spice rubbed chicken which was very juicy and flavorful. The short rib my friend ordered also looked good and well prepared. Their margarita pizza includes cherry tomatoes and is super cheesy. The service was lacking a little and it seemed that other servers were unwilling to help our table, and would always default to trying to find our waitress. So we had to wait longer for water refills, getting the check, etc. Overall, would skip out on the appetizers and order only main entrees. The proximity to Waikiki beach and patio area are strong positives for Deck. read more

Deck is conveniently located inside of the Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel Waikīkī. Located on the 3rd floor, right next to the pool with Diamond Head as the backdrop. Beautiful view! We tried the happy hour menu and started off with a couple of Mai Tais. We also sampled the Beef Sliders, Calamari Fritti and Truffle Fries. All were very tasty and we received fast and friendly service. We came back to give their breakfast a try. We tried the Deep Dish Haupia French Toast and the Braised Beef Loco Moco. The food tasted great but came out luke warm. I'm not sure if they had new servers during the morning but the service was slow and I had to ask for refills on water repeatedly. I'm normally pretty patient but restaurant was fairly empty for that kind of service. On that second day, they fell a little short for me. read more

What We Ordered: Mai tai Highlights: * Service: attentive, slower to seat us initially even though the restaurant wasn't full * Food/Drinks: very good Mai tai, not my favorite but unique almost cherry flavor to it, lighter in color than other Mai tais in Honolulu * Ambiance: cozy, huge seating area covered and uncovered, come here for the view of diamond head (will not be disappointed), relaxing * Price: reasonable read more

It is super dim lighting, which made me feel like they're trying to hide something with the food. I remember eating the fish here and just thought it was OK and nothing spectacular magnificent flavors. Yeah if you make it before sunset, it's a great view of diamond head, which was beautiful. read more

Pros: views are so perfect, and our server was friendly. Cons: Unless if you like your beef patties super raw, I wouldn't recommend the loco moco. Had them remake it but it was still super raw. Even the server was shook and said "that does not look right at all". French toast and their lox bagel was probably the only good thing about our breakfast. Probably won't be back again unfortunately. read more

We were able to get seated right away even though I made reservations it was nice the hostess gave us a view and was closer to the diamond head side. Really appreciated that. The ambience here is second to none. You get a beautiful view and it is limited seating here so feels not as crowded as in Waikiki. The food we ordered I closed eggs Benedict, Haupia french toast and paniolo loco moco with drinks - green matcha strawberry and not your oridinary mai tai. The loco moco wasn't the best and it needed seasoning. They were out of Tokyo pancakes so we got the French toast which needed syrup. Overall, definitely recommend but wasn't a 5. They didn't refill my water on a hot day, but that was OK. Giving it a 4. Jordan was great! He was wonderful and even if busy was able to handle all the requests. Felt the aloha! read more

Had a birthday dinner party here, it was easy to get a reservation for 14 and they were very accommodating! Service was great! We ordered a bunch of food items. The truffle fries were a big hit! Truffle fries, Margherita pizza, chicken wings, chicken entree, fish tacos! Everything tasted good. Drinks were tasty!! I brought a birthday cake and they were able to store it in the fridge and they brought out knives and plates for serving! Great time here, want to come back when it is still bright out! read more

Absolutely loved this rooftop spot! Deck has such a beautiful view--lush green mountains on one side and the sparkling ocean on the other. It's the perfect place to soak in the beauty of Hawaii while enjoying an incredible brunch. Let me just say... the french toast was the best I've ever had in my entire life. No exaggeration. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and rich on the inside, and the brioche was to die for. The coconut syrup took it to the next level--so unique and insanely good. My fiancé got the loco moco and absolutely loved it, and we both enjoyed our mimosas--great flavor and not too sweet. Service was great, everyone was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely come back here for brunch next time we're in Honolulu! read more

I was very excited to enjoy lunch with my best friend, who had just flown home for the holidays, at Deck. Even though I had seen mixed reviews about the restaurant, we decided to give it a try anyway. Our waitress was very kind, the food came out quickly, and it actually tasted pretty good. However, the person who seated us who I'm assuming was the host was pretty rude. We weren't greeted at all and had to ask for a table for two. Instead of being politely informed that the table was needed for a later reservation, she said, "I can seat you now, but I need the table back by 5." We didn't feel welcomed at all and were forced to share a single menu even though it wasn't busy. The cherry on top was that we were seated at a table that had not been wiped yet! While we didn't feel rushed at any point, the rest of the experience we were upset because of that first interaction. I understand it is the holidays and some people can be pretty sour, but it should feel welcoming and that your staff is excited to serve customers. read more

November 4, 2025 Deck Waikiki Happy Hour = Total Vibes Had an awesome time at Deck Waikiki during happy hour. The view of Diamond Head at sunset? Unreal. It's the kind of spot where you just want to kick back and soak it all in . I grabbed a not your average mai tai --super refreshing and just the right amount of tart. We ordered the Hamachi carpaccio, Spicy salmon roll and Beef sliders. This was the right amount of food shared between 2 people. The staff was chill and friendly, and the whole vibe was relaxed but lively. Great place to hang with friends, sip something tasty, and enjoy the island breeze. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Waikiki. read more

This was once a five star establishment. They once had the best braised beef short rib I've ever tasted. But ownership and management changes....as does my previous five star review. Let's dive right in. My wife ordered the Hulihuli chicken and it was a bit on the dry side and very bland. I ordered a cheeseburger and asked the server if they can do rare and he said fine. Of course the burger came out much closer to well done (I would've been happy if it was even medium rare). The fish sushi was fresh though and that was nice. We may or may not come back. It's something I will most likely debate for the next several months. read more

This is a solid open air bar and restaurant at the Queen Kapiolani hotel on the 3rd floor. We had drinks the night before but hit this place for happy hour food and drinks. Mai tai drinks were ordered and we stuck with an array of appetizers. Truffle fries, calamari, giant wings, and a Caesar salad. The truffle fries were nice and thin. The calamari was good. The Caesar salad was very nice. With some large cheese chips in the salad. The wings were amazing! Big. Juicy, and still a bit crispy! We ended up getting a second order! This is not just a throw away hotel restaurant! read more

3.5 stars for food, rounding up to 4.011 includes service & ambiançe. We chose a stormy New Year's Eve to visit Deck. The location and ambience are very nice, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. The food was good, merely good and moderately uninspired. All this place needs to shine is to tweak their menu to be a little more refined, instead of feeling slightly rushed. Take the time to get a good Maillard reaction on the meat. Add a bit of punch to your sauces, and don't forget the seasoning. It wasn't by any measure a bad meal, but with all the competition nearby that are being careful with their preparations this meal felt sloppy. At the street level there is also a Deck coffee shop, which has wildly enthusiastic staff, tasty satisfying pastries and sandwiches, and pretty good drip and espresso coffees. read more

4.5 stars! Awesome place off the main drag of Waikiki. Amazing views of diamond head and fun drinks to choose from either with our without alcohol. We came around 6pm and it was perfect for the sunset. My dad and I had the plantation punch mocktail and it was one of the best mocktails i have ever had. The menu is small if you cant eat seafood but get the short ribs with truffle mashed potatoes. My plate and others were cleared. This place gets packed during the week. Our server Melissa was veery sweet as well and couldn't do enough for you. My only qualm is they do run our of some stuff such as the coffee and dessert but this goes to show how popular it is. read more

We were assisted immediately by a friendly hostess who checked on our reservation and let us know we would have our table in a few minutes. That gave me a chance to hurry out to the pool deck next to the restaurant and take a few shots of the beautiful sunset. Once we were seated, Melissa greeted us and took our beverage orders. She also made recommendations on the menu which was helpful because we had never been here before. Being a Sunday night, things were perhaps a little slow, but the drinks seem to take a while before they arrived at our table. Once again, however, Melissa continued to be very cheerful and on top of any needs that we had. She took our orders and we shipped our beverages while we waited. I ordered the barbecue beef ribs with the pineapple barbecue sauce. A unique and flavorful experience. The rib meat fell off the bone and were very tasty. The presentation was great so I didn't have to cut the ribs apart. My wife ordered the beef short ribs with the mashed potatoes. She enjoyed every bite on her plate. It made her day! The only negative note here would be the side of sweet potatoes. First of all, it was enormous, definitely not the size of a traditional side of anything. Secondly, the sweet potatoes really didn't have much flavor. I was expecting something a little more exotic and exciting, and they just fell flat. Fortunately, the manager was understanding and took those off our bill. All in all, you will enjoy the incredible views of the beach out front and Diamond head across the street racing magnificently in the picture window. If you are fortunate enough to get Melissa as your server, you are in for a tremendous treat. She is caring, considerate, and genuinely friendly. read more

Our goals was to visit as many of the top ranked Yelp restaurants in Waikiki as possible while there. We Just dined at DECK, another Yelp top rated restaurant at the Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel in Waikiki, and wow, this place is fantastic! Located on the 3rd floor rooftop pool deck, the open terrace dining area has the most incredible view of Diamond Head I've seen. It's practically right at your table, making it perfect for soaking in the scenery or snapping some great photos. The food was outstanding. The Caesar salad was a standout--crisp lettuce with just the right amount of cheesy flavor. And the braised short rib? Hands down one of the best I've ever had, so tender and packed with taste. The service was spot-on too--our waiter checked in regularly without being overbearing, which made the meal even better. Happy hour is a great deal with plenty of drinks at reduced prices, adding to the relaxed vibe. Plus, it's right next to the zoo, so you can easily make a day of exploring this part of Waikiki. If you're looking for delicious food, a chill atmosphere, and that unbeatable Diamond Head view, DECK. is the place to go! read more

Great spot! Great views!!! Chicken is really good and prices aren't typical Waikiki! Hotel folks are also very kind!!!

This place has a really good happy hour, beautiful view, and fun cocktails. Throughout the week they have different drink specials, I went on a Wednesday and it was Whiskey Wednesday! Such a good spot for drinks. Definitely on the pricey side when it's not happy hour. Portions weren't too big for the price we were paying. I would come here after my dinner, not for dinner. The wings were very flavorful, just wish they were a little more crisper. Calamari was subpar, it could've been more crispy since I enjoy super crispy calamari. The squid was not chewy and rubbery though! It was cooked very well. Our server was so sweet and always checked up on us. We came to celebrate a birthday and she did everything in her best effort to keep that candle lit since it was so windy outside! read more

Enjoyed this as a late night dinner with family, and I am impressed they were able to seat our 15 top with ease and without much of a wait! They had a great selection of drinks and I enjoyed the feature of turning any mocktail into a cocktail, which I indulged in a guava based drink that was delicious. The food was ok though I didn't feel very full afterwards. I feel like their selection of entrees did not have as much variety as I would've liked. I went with the pork baos which were listed as an appetizer. We came at night which we were not able to see the beautiful views from the deck but regardless, the restaurant had a nice moonlit ambiance that my family and I enjoyed! read more

Came to this bar and grill in Waikiki for happy hour. Deck is located conveniently close to some of the hotels and other fun stuff. It has better drinks than food but it's still good for dinner though. Can get expensive which is the only bad thing about it. That's why you come later and you can save a lot. A lot of things to get on the menu even at breakfast. It's got classics like eggs Benedict and that kind of stuff. The best time is later though. Be sure to get here at happy hour. Plays tricks with the times. It's got drinks 2 to 6, and food 4 to 6, which means get both cheaper drinks and food 4 to 6. Much better prices for the cocktails at this time. It's $12 for the favorites. These include the Mai Tai and a few others. Also the Liliko'i Margarita is a good one. This is made with Casamigos tequila, Cointreau, lime, and liliko'i, which is the Hawaiian word for passionfruit. As for the food, there's a few okay choices. There's meaty options like ahi and ribs. For vegetarians there's not that much, but it makes it easier to choose. It's $6 for French Fries, and $9 for Truffle Fries. There's some more choices on the full priced menu but it's pretty expensive to be honest. Get here in the afternoon and evening. It's located at the Queen Kapi'olani. Hotel. This is okay for those staying elsewhere because it's located close to many others. read more

The ambiance was pretty and spacious. We had a reservation for a group of 14 but still had to wait 15 mins. Cocktails were all delicious and aesthetic. You can't go wrong with whichever cocktail you get as my friends and I all enjoyed ours. The food was really good. Apps- hamachi carpaccio, truffle fries, and calamari - I'd order all again depending on what I'm craving Sushi rolls - hamachi jalapeño nicely balanced and spicy salmon roll was a bit torched with a good flavor Entrees - pan seared scallops were great with a side of sautéed vegetables. The veggies were a bit salty but added lemon juice did the trick. Braised short ribs were very tender and the mashed potatoes were yummy and garlicky and the roasted vegetables were cooked perfectly. Overall, a lovely and lively dinner spot! read more

Brunch at Deck was delightful. We ordered the Tokyo pancakes with coconut sauce, French toast, scrambled eggs, and potatoes (which were a bit overcooked but still tasty). The pancakes were fluffy with a tropical twist, but it tasted a little eggy. The cozy ambiance made it a perfect spot to fuel up before heading out for the day. I also want to highlight that the service was great and our meal was about $80. Definitely worth the visit! read more

We visited this location because it was so close to our hotel - and it did not disappoint! They were able to get us seated quickly without a reservation which was great. I do not remember our server's name but she was very helpful and knowledgeable on the menu. We ordered the Brussel sprouts and they were the best we've ever had! The catch of the day and short ribs were a perfect combination of land and sea - both cooked very well and the sides were good as well. We got the crème brûlée for dessert and that was melt in your mouth as well. This place was big! It was pretty noisy but we expected that in a busy town.

If you're looking for a restaurant with a view, Deck has a great view of Diamond Head depending on the time of day. We came here at night after sunset and the ambiance was still nice. Portions here are very big for the dinner entrees. I had the BBQ Lilikoi Pork Ribs and I couldn't even finish half of it. The ribs were very tender, but wish there was a stronger lilikoi flavor. The truffle fries were great to share. Also got the Not Your Average Waikiki Mai Tai since it was one of the special drinks. It was kinda tart. Service was very friendly. The hostess offered us some blankets in case we were cold. We parked at the zoo across the street for a fee, though we had to circle around a few times until we got a spot. read more

Walked in and there was no hostess, so I went to sit at the bar realized the best views were outside, so I asked staff if I could sit there. They told me I had to check in with the hostess. Went back up to the front of the restaurant and waited. Got the worst seat outside with obstructed view despite there being lots of good tables. At the time there were more employees the patrons. I ordered a Mai Thai, french fries and the vegetarian roll. Must say they were all disappointing. I hardly ate or drank. The waitress did notice I didn't eat much and did discount my bill which is why I gave 2 starts not one. read more
