Wow! Thank you Hau Tree. We were seated outside right in front of the baby monk seal. It was hot, but the hostess brought us fans and was very accommodating if we needed to move. The fish was delicious, the produce tasted so fresh (salad and tomatoes) so it was worth the $$ to me just because nothing was "tired." The pasta was also cooked perfectly al dente. I recommend reservations, my mom and I had a beautiful Mother's Day / birthday / graduation celebration, they even brought out a cake. I didn't feel rushed at all, and I'll be going back here again. Valet was only $10. read more

15 min before closing, so maybe that's why I just got ice blended with rum. No piña or colada. read more

Hau Tree Bar - So called Piña Colada, it was literally ice blended with rum. No piña or colada. Disgusting. - Local Flavor Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Food cool , service good , ambiance amazing close to beach drinks great , mahi-mahi tacos are excellent. The wings are good, but they're just some fat wings. They need to cook them a little longer, but other than that everything was great! Close to beach when you need a nice meal Or snack! read more

The best part about this restaurant is definitely the ambiance. The views of the beach are spectacular, even though there are birds from time to time. I have been here a few times already and I always order the Ricotta Calamansi Pancakes. They are my favorite and never disappoint. On my most recent visit I tried the Ube Cinnamon Roll and it was honestly to die for, so good. Service is also great. The only downside for me is the coffee, which is not quite as good as the rest of the menu. read more

We were staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for the weekend and the Hau Tree Bar was convenient and easy. We could have ordered via the poolside service but could never flag down the waitress, so I walked over to the bar and ordered from there. They have a lot of drinks and a lot of food options. We went with a couple that were kid friendly. We ordered the chicken fingers, a side of fries, and popcorn shrimp dynamite. The bartender was super friendly and gave me an approximate time when the food would be ready to come back. His timing was perfect and I was able to pick up the food within 15 minutes. The popcorn shrimp was very good. I would've liked a little bit of coconut but I know that's not everybody's taste. The french fries were good as soon as we got them, but as time went on, they became for sale. The chicken strips were simply chicken strips nothing special, but the kids enjoyed them. I would say for the ease of being at the pool all day and not having to go far to find food or drinks. The Hau tree bar is a great option. You can also come off the beach and eat/drink there. The only downside is the price but you pay for convenience. read more

Well, pretty indispensable restaurant - waterhole - near the pool and beach. First, bartenders are working hard to make the drinks. They do have Koloa rum available. On to the food. I was impressed with their tuna poke bowl. Good chunks of raw meat. Spiced and on a bed of rice. I've head them for two days in a row. Kids enjoyed crispy chicken strips. Strips were sizable. read more

Great place with great views and ambiance! Came here for dinner to meet with friends, love being with a view and it's a cute place, even if you choose to not eat I think there's a bar in inside area, food is reasonably price for location, drinks were fantastic Non-A and alcoholic! It wasn't the best meal but pretty decent for the price and views' would come here again read more

Got the Shrimp PoBoy and it was pretty good honestly! The lemon-garlic sauce they have on there brings the flavor out really well! And there was a good amount of shrimp to fill you up. The Pina Colada was good, but you know, $15 for a cup feels like you getting played a little. But most of the drinks on the entire resort are $15 so it's not out of the ordinary. read more

Awesome vibes, great drinks, and friendly hospitable bartenders. This little bar is located within the large pool area of the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort, just before you cross into the Waikiki beach area. During our week stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort, we spent just about every day at this poolside bar. They have poolside tables (which are family friendly) or limited seating at the bar. While there, we got to know many of the bartenders but the one that we spent most of our time talking with was Edy. He's been working at the resort for over 25 years. On one of our days we came to the bar just as Edy started his shift. Although we were coming for a single drink, Edy entertained us with stories, jokes and amused us while working the bar. We ended up staying for more than a drink. Edy made sure all of his guests were taken care of with drinks, food and water refills - in rapid time. If you're lucky, you may catch him perform his quarter trick or show you how to push a cup through a small hole in a napkin . We ended up having so much fun and stayed his entire shift, and an additional two hours afterward. Their cocktail menu is simple but they can mix up anything you ask. They also have some local beers and some of the usual domestic/imports. They also offer a small food menu. we tried their shrimp Po-Boy sandwich and their musubi's. Both were amazing but weren't made at the bar (they come from another restaurant on the resort). If you find yourself in the area, stop on by the bar for a quick drink. You may find yourself chatting with some of the locals Tony & Kelly, who frequently sit at the bar. They're a friendly couple that are good company and can offer good tips on things to do in the area. read more

Over priced, brunch menu falls short and they are always out of something... the avocado toast and crab Benedict were decent, but the tuna was completely tasteless and the burger pretty bad. It's sad how some restaurants have dropped their quality in the last few years, Hau Tree was a great place to come with your family like 15-20 years ago, they used to have good food. read more

We stopped by for a quick snack and a drink before our Atlantis Submarine Tour nearby. It's a casual place near the beach with outside seating. The chicken tenders and fries were super delish and the burger was decent. We ordered pina coladas and they were just perfectly made. The pina coladas were definitely the highlight of our experience here and were an absolute treat...perfectly sweet and creamy. Hau Tree Bar is the perfect place to lounge, chill, and grab a quick drink and snacks if you have some time before your submarine tour starts. The food and drinks here are good, and the service is decent...not much more you could ask for. read more

Had dinner on a rainy Sunday evening. Still a nice setting. Food was good - hamachi and octopus starters. Caesar salad and pesto pasta for dinner and coconut cake for dessert. Pasta noodles were interesting, very thick like spaghetti noodle. Server was excellent, attentive and concerned about the rain. Meals are expensive. read more

Very disappointed with the changes at hau tree. I have never paid for a martini where they itemized martini along with charging me $18 for grey goose and $ 5 for martini? . I ended up paying $41 for a double martini. Very strange way to itemize and disappointed that I was told that's how it is. Upfront charges for drinks is needed. Is it $23 for a grey goose martini or is it $18? Very strange and left feeling weird . Prices have kind of gotten out of hand there. Not sure I'll go back as a Kaima'aina. read more

Being our 1st time as a local there for our sons prom was so relaxing and the suggestions that where made on what to eat was top notch Plus when the check came she ask if I needed parking validation which really was a savings being in Waikiki Mahalo Meyer read more

Super big portions for lunch time! Hai tree salad with BBQ Pork and Hawaiian BBQ Pork Plate the pork is shredded and marinated in Shoyu and sesame oil I may have to figure this out when I get home as the Shredded Pork is delicious 2 scoops of Brown rice and a local macaroni salad not your typical BBQ but they give you a package of Heinz BBQ sauce if you need the familiar flavors. read more

Good spot for drinks on the beach. My friend and I were going on a sunset cruise nearby and decided to stop by Hau Tree for some pre-cruise drinks as we walked by. This spot is in the Hilton Village, right next to the beach. It's pretty much as close you can get to legally drinking with gorgeous beach views. We came around 4 pm and half of the tables were available, so we could sit wherever we wanted. We each ordered a frozen daiquiri for $12.50. I had the mango. They also offer food here, but it's not cheap. For example, a small bowl of pineapples is $14, and cihcken tenders is $16. They definitely charge a premium for their beachside location. My daiquiri came out quickly and was delicious. It was strong but I couldn't taste much of the alcohol as it was covered by the mango flavor. It was a quick stop; we were in and out of here in 40 minutes or so. read more

While spending time in the sand, I walked up to this bar and ordered food & drinks. The bartender was great. He suggested the bartender's special drink which I highly recommend. The atmosphere is appropriate for the venue. I enjoyed the fact that it was so close to the sand making it easy to order and pickup! read more

We ordered drinks and a popcorn shrimp starter, and both were on target. The vibe here is relaxed and beachy. Perfect spot to unwind, sip a drink, and enjoy the ocean breeze. read more

Ambiance is top notch. Love the patio with the tree and lights, right by the beach. The drinks are all great. All the food is so good, esp for breakfast if you have a sweet tooth (get the cinnamon roll!) not a ton of options for food, but anything you get is good. Great go to brunch spot, if you can find parking! read more

Where's the beef? The servers not only make rounds at the 7 Hau Tree tables but also the surrounding poolside lounge chairs, like Disney Aulani. I know you read that review. The menu is really small and hours are extremely limited. Of course, prices are high and food quite not enough to fill yea but just enough to empty your pockets slowly. There are mix drinks that can be made into non alcoholic beverages just be aware of the cup sizes. The virgins come in bigger cups. Overall three stars. Food is below average and the drink prices high but the servers come by often and don't rush you to leave. Now excuse me, time for a swim. M read more

If you're looking for something to upset your stomach, this is the place! Food tasted ok, but we both felt sick a short time later.

I just came back to California from Oahu for the fifth time. This bar is what keeps my family and I from booking at any other resort. Hau Tree has the friendliest staff, best cocktails and delicious food. Never had a bad experience here. I've recommended this place to friends and family who have traveled here and they all had a positive experience. The bar is right next to the pool, so I could feed my kids and watch them swim right after. We'll be back ! read more

Very slow service. Insanely overpriced food ($22 for a hot dog). That same insanely overpriced food served with no presentation in to go boxes. I get that it's a resort spot but the other restaurants we have visited at the Hilton were way better than this. Seriously. Skip this and go next door to the Tropics restaurant. read more

Not really good restaurants. It's ok. Their chicken sandwich is horrible but the Philly steak is ok.

Dee is beyond amazing!! We had a large party and she went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of!! We have some "high maintenance" men in our party, plus tons of high school kids and I don't know how but Dee was able to deal with them and make sure everything was satisfied. We also had Meyer the night before who also was able to accommodate our large party! We are staying on property for a week and honestly hope to always get the amazing service that Dee and Meyer provided!!! Food was great, drinks were amazing, service was fast, atmosphere and energy is everything you are looking for! Kids can swim at the pool while you enjoy a drink!!! Make sure you go see Dee or Meyer. read more

Had lunch at Hau Tree Cantina located right off the super pool at The Hilton Hawaiian Village. While the food was pricey, and mediocre, the service was great! I ordered the fish tacos, and they were not warm or cold, but kind of in between if that makes sense. Please note though, nothing come with chips. That's extra. Plus, I love how this particular restaurant at the resort has such strict COVID safety protocols. Tables are still distanced from each other, and they have barriers at the bar. read more

You know how the person serving makes the meal/drink! Come here for a drink while KRYSTAL is working. Why go elsewhere with mediocre service when you can have KRYSTAL! It's always hard to recall a person's name from a review, but this is the MAIN reason to stop here for a drink! It's right in the beach in the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort. I didn't get food, but the beer on tap is perfectly refreshing read more

Hau Tree Bar - View from table at Hau Tree - Local Flavor Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ok, so even though I want to leave a 1 star review im gonna give it two to be fair. We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village which was amazing and the Hau Tree Bar was right by the pool which made it super convenient for drinks. The bar tenders were great and we always tip accordingly so we appreciated their service and drinks weren't too bad. Pretty standard and basic but nothing to write home about. We had Mai Tais all over the Island, I feel the best ones were at Mai Tai bar at Royal Hawaiian but thats here nor there for this review. Getting back to it. Ok so we spent alot of money there at that bar over a 5 day span and everything was great until one misunderstanding happened. I had brought some food for my family to eat in there and I didnt see a sign anywhere and it was COMPLETELY MY FAULT. I guess they have little signs on the table or somewhere around and I didnt see it. Nor did my family. Maybe we were all in the moment of the vacation who knows.. Whoops silly me. The issue that I had, was my wife got a dirty look by one of the workers there and that employee shook her head passing by her when my wife walked up to the bar. The lady came back by our table about 5 minutes later did it a second time (shaking her head at all of us) then finally had the guts to tell us we werent allowed to have outside food at the tables by the bar area. All she had to do was tell us kindly to pack it up and move it to the pool area we would of done that! I mean something so petty turned into a huge issue for us because it killed our vibe and we were in the moment you know? Thats all you had to do! Were not kids, were grown adults. And walking around shaking your head like your one of those bobblehead toys doesnt solve anything! Another waitress came by and was suuuper cool and apologized on her behalf. She even told us where we could sit with a view! We appreciated that! The bottom line is this, people are there to enjoy their vacation. Thousands of people. Its not always going to be easy and your going to have misunderstandings there with some of these people but dont shame them! Do things discreetly or pull them aside, or figure a way to handle the situation professionally. And if you dont know how to do it, ask someone who does. Your customer service means more than those drinks you pour, and the food you serve. If you lack in that department your ships gonna sink real fast or your jobs gonna be cut. Because thousands of people go to that resort daily and thousands of people write reviews just like I did. read more

This review is solely based on the pool service we got while staying at the HHV. You can order food and drinks from Hau Tree if you're lounging in the Super pool. To say I was obsessed with their bang bang popcorn shrimp is an understatement. I ordered it three times for my family, it is so crispy and topped with some creamy hot sauce that was perfectly spicy. Their fries and drinks were good too. Good finger food for poolside! read more
