Hy's Steakhouse is a great traditional steakhouse, and we came here to enjoy a nice steak during our stay. I like sitting at the bar, so that's where we decided to sit, and the service was excellent. The menu is pretty much what you'd expect from a classic steakhouse: soups, salads, steaks, and traditional sides like fries and grilled asparagus. I started the evening with a martini, and it was perfectly done. They also bring out their special cheesy bread, which is exactly what it sounds like--warm, cheesy bread--and it was quite good. For my main course, I had the Beef Wellington, and it was phenomenal. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the crispy, flaky outside was delicious. It came with a baked potato, and they brought all the fixings--sour cream, chives, and bacon--to the table and dress your potato for you. The potato was delicious, and the side of vegetables was just what was needed to round out the meal. We ended the evening with a flourless chocolate cake, which was also excellent. Overall, it was a great night and a really enjoyable meal. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a nice dinner or a place to celebrate something special! read more

No better spot for my 100th review! The most perfect spot to celebrate any event, or if you are just craving protein. We ordered what seemed like everything on the menu, from aged ribeye, to lamb chops, beef Wellington, prime rib, and all the sides! From lobster Mac and cheese to mash potatoes, spinach, corn, fries, and sautéed mushrooms. They have an awesome area where you can watch the pitmaster grill all the meats and it's fun to take pictures there too and witness all the greatness. We got the seafood tower and the French onion soup to start. Highlight was the lamb chop with the mint jelly. So delicious and my first time trying mint jelly. Beef Wellington was moist and the pastry was nice and flaky. The service was immaculate and you are well taken care of like family. You just end the dessert with the ice cream option where they make it right by your table side. It's such an experience! Best steakhouse on island. Check them out in Waikiki! read more

Been here several times and keep coming back once every visit. The service is always immaculate. Even when we have issues with booking, the kitchen makes a mistake, or anything at all isn't perfect, the staff does an incredible job resolving the issue. The building is in a bit of a strange spot attached to a hotel, but otherwise it's a beautiful interior with lots of art, and a great ambience to it. They have a lounge area (ask for the lounge/box if you want to go there, where they have live music most nights). The food is always fantastic and high quality, with the prices to match. You get what you expect at fine dinning, and if you know what you're getting into, you'll never be disappointed and always be satisfied. Looking forward to coming back next time, although there is some question about the ownerships contract, which apparently might cause a change in the name! read more

Last month, I went here for dinner. Unfortunately, I didn't have a dress shirt on so they graciously borrowed a black dress shirt for me to wear. I sat at the bar and the waitstaff was really friendly. I got the caesar salad and the beef wellington as my entree. The complimentary cheese bread was warm and gooey. Delicious! The Caesar salad was on par and the beef wellington was also cooked to perfection at medium rare temperature. The accompanying baked potato was piping hot, soft and yummy with the butter, chives, and bacon crumbles and sour cream. The only thing i didn't really like was the black peppercorn sauce that came with it. It was a tad salty. Otherwise, it was a wonderful meal at this quiet, old-fashioned steakhouse. read more

This review's about a month overdue, but we came back again! We ordered almost the same things, except we did try the lobster truffle Mac n cheese and loved it. Taken care of by Romnick who was a delight to chat with and skillfully made our salad and dessert. Everything else was delicious and we were very satisfied! read more

Hooo bah If you're looking for an unforgettable steakhouse experience, Hy's is as high you can get. For our anniversary, I decided to order the $220 Wagyu steak. At that price, I was expecting a steak. What I got was a religious experience. The steak was so tender I think my knife was just there for emotional support. Every bite made me question every other steak I've ever eaten. Our server was an absolute hammah. He took his job to serious. When he explained the Wagyu, I felt like I was being entrusted with classified information. By the time he finished, I was afraid to even ask for steak sauce. I'm pretty sure if I had reached for ketchup, he'd wanna scrap. Just remember to bring a collard shirt and leave your Get Nuts shirt at home. read more

The experience here is amazing and a must! This is definitely a place to celebrate special occasions. We booked reservations in advance, you need to call or email in to make a reservation. We were initially seated in far back near the kitchen, but we kindly asked to move away since it was so noisy there. Our new seats were really nice. Ambiance is very high end, from the decor to the live music and the staff apparel. The staff are kind and multi talented. Your waiter/waitress will make about 40% of the food at your seat which is dope. They prepare the appetizers and desserts at your seat since it's all table side. The main entrees get made in the kitchen. I really loved this concept because it felt more like an intimate dinner experience. We ordered: Prix fixe menu $150 per person Came with your choice of table side appetizer - French Onion Soup 9/10 - Spinach egg bacon salad 9/10 - complimentary cheesy bread 9/10 Entrees - Cajun style prime rib w/baked potatoes 9.5/10 - Beef Wellington 9/10 Dessert - chocolate lovers ice cream sundae To know: - Good for groups - Email to make a reservation - Valet available $500 after tip for the entire meal Overall, this was an amazing experience and I would totally go back. Absolutely worth the price. read more

What happen ? Horrible service ! Horrible over priced steak ! Gave them a few more tries but tbh there are a lot better steakhouses on island for a lot less. Last visit was my last. Ordered a ribeye and was given a New York , waiter said it was a ribeye. I never had a ribeye without a cap . On top of that , dirty silverware. Never going back ! read more

Always one of my favorite steakhouses for a special occasion. Their menu is pretty large with lots of steak options/specials/and enhancements. They also have a wide variety of starters including table side options for the caesar salad and warm spinach salad. We had the warm spinach salad which was yummy (as usual). We also had the seafood chowder and French onion soup and escargot. For mains I had the steak Oscar and boyfriend had the prime rib. Both came out how we wanted them prepared. Desert we shared the banana foster (I miss their cherries jubilee). Service was good- always refilling water and making sure we were satisfied with our food after first bites. Parking wise I believe is just valet. read more

Loved the service. Loved the Caesar salad experience (it was made tableside). Had the filet and it was a bit dry. Ambiance was nice but more towards an older crowd feel. Guess expected more than the experience I received for the cost ensured. read more

1st off service from our server, Christopher, and his assistant, Cameron was exceptional. We decided to give the restaurant a try by partaking in their happy hour. Happy hour you have to sit in the small bar area but you get to take advantage of the happy hour menu and ALSO the main menu. So, table service was excellent. However, we ordered the Escargot to start and it literally vacate out of the kitchen luke warm. So, we had to send it back and the next order was to perfection. One of the reasons we wanted to try the happy hour menu was to try the smaller Beef Wellington on the HH menu. It was actually a good size and perfectly cooked. We came for our anniversary to give them a try and they surprised us with a very nice anniversary dessert for two. All the food was very good, a bit pricey but your paying for the service, food and atmosphere. One thing the restaurant could do to improve is ditch the very small tables and chairs in the bar area and upgrade them to more suitable, adult size chairs and tables as they are all incredibly low to the ground. Keep they in mind, as well as the small amount of tables in the bar area if you decide to give the happy hour menu a chance as we did on this visit read more

Apparently this is Hy's 50th anniversary, and I hope they're around for another 50+ years! This was our first time here and we had a blast. They have some of the best customer service. We saw them setting up a table with leis and flowers for someone's special occasion. They even printed a custom note on our menu for our special occasion. See pic. We were celebrating my birthday and our new engagement. Thank you Tony, McKenzie, Ryan, and Kirby for making it a very memorable celebration. The decor was very nice and the food/ drinks were delicious. It's a little on the pricier side, but totally worth it for a special occasion. They also have complementary valet parking out front, so you don't have to deal with the hassle of finding/paying for parking in Waikiki. read more

OMG!!! Haven't been here in a while and this was a personal fave venue for decades! Mahalo to Tony (Assistant General Manager), Ariana (Director of Beverage), and Anakin (our server), chefs, staff, and valet, who came together and opened Hy's for a special meeting. They shared their newest menu options, which included a vegan pasta, fish piccata and flank steak. Salads were award winning, as was the trio of desserts (lilikoi crunch, chocolate decadence, and cheesecake, topped gold flakes, or with fruits and edible flowers! I had steak, of course, ahhh, and yum, the memories! Colleagues who had the vegan pasta said it was awesome, and I was too far away from the fish piccata to know, but I'm sure it was delish! This event allowed the members of MSRH to learn more from the American Heart Association, their community programs and their fundraisers, such as the Heart Ball and Heart Walk, which fund the many services they provide our Hawai'i Ohana. Did you know they have a third party venue relationship with Solera and Quiora with many options for dinner parties of any size, indoor and out, as well as private and semi private rooms? Check out their website for more info! The private room where we had programs in the past is now a lobby, and the one we enjoyed our meeting in is fully private, well appointed, and has a mini service station in the room. There's also a tv screen with computer adaptability if you need to project a power point from your laptop. FYI You'll have to navigate two short steps of stairs, and they do have solid handrails to help you get there. Two sliding doors allow staff to enter discreetly if you have a speaker program, and the "emergency exit" slows with restroom access! Just remember to push down on the door "stopper" so you can return. (Be on good behavior, as the restroom is shared in the hotel lobby, with other guests who may be present in the lobby lounge.) The food, service, and decor remain classic Hy's, and rest assured we'll be back!!! read more

There are several high quality steakhouses in Honolulu/Waikiki, but Hy's is easily the most elegant or upscale of them all, despite being windowless. With dark wood walls and oil paintings decorating throughout, it almost feels like you're in an old English Gentleman's Club from the turn of the century. The old world charm is amazing. Five stars for ambiance, easily. Also, five stars for service. They make you feel special. The staff are highly experienced and have been working at Hy's for years. Chris, our lead server, has been working there for 27 years! Amazing guy. Service 5 stars. Wife and I shared all our orders. We're Kupuna with small stomachs. Started with a Caprese Salad (excellent), followed by a 15oz Delmonico Ribeye Steak, with mash and assorted veggies, washed down with a glass of Cabernet. A couple cups of very good coffee with our Apple Flambé. I've enjoyed Steak at Signature, Wolfgang's, Ruth Chris, and Empire Steakhouse... while Hy's Delmonico Ribeye was okay, it didn't compare favorably to other Steakhouses in Waikiki. But, still 4 stars for the food. Had an excellent evening... thank you to the staff at Hy's. Super professional, top notch! Two glasses of red wine: $38 Caprese Salad $22 Delmonico Steak $96 Extra Plate Charge $10 (for sharing) Apple Flambé $25 Two cups of coffee $16 GET $9.75 Total $216.75 (not including tip) read more

My favorite fine dining restaurant and steak house! Great food, outstanding service, nice ambiance. Prices are a little high but that's what you expect from a fine dining restaurant. No need to worry about parking, your car will be taken care of by a valet. My starter is usually always French Onion Soup and entree is their Prime Rib with baked potato. I love creme brulee but most times we'll have one of their flambé that's done at your table. Hy's do have a dress code so if you're in doubt on what to wear, I suggest you give them a call. I'm always happy when I leave there and it's always a treat for your wife, spouse or significant other. read more

My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary and it was such a wonderful dinner! We ordered the crab cake and table side caesar salad as our starters. The crab cake was savory with delicious sauces on top. We were a bit surprised that it only came with one, especially since it was around $30 too but I guess that's fine dining portions haha. It was my first time seeing a Caesar salad being made table side so I thought it was cool to see and the salad was really good! For our entrees, I got the garlic steak and my boyfriend got the steak Oscar. We both enjoyed our dishes and the steak was cooked to our liking! We also got a side of the truffle king crab and mac and cheese and that was so creamy and delicious! For dessert, we ordered the bananas foster and it had a nice presentation when it was made! It was so yummy and paired really well with the vanilla ice cream. They also gave us a chocolate cake type of dessert too since it was our anniversary, and that tasted great as well. Our server was friendly and personable and always checked up on us. The ambiance is pretty fancy with dim lighting, so it's perfect for a special occasion. read more

My favorite place for steak and go to place for celebrations. I usually order the Prime Rib but this time was a special celebration. I opted to share the Waygu Tomahawk with my fiancée. Service: Our server was Jason and he was the best! You can't forget other servers and bussers, they were a team. Jason was so funny and personable. My family and I were celebrating my engagement and he would make fun jokes throughout the night. We had the perfect seats where we could see the chef cooking out food. It was so cool seeing how he cooked the meat & how flawless he was too. Food: The food is always so good. The tomahawk was cooked to perfect with just the right amount of seasonings. Dessert: We ordered the banana foster and apple streusel too. Since it was later in the night both Jason and his server friend cooked them in front of us at the same time. I have never seen two cooked at the same time. It was sooo cool. The desserts were so yummy. Thank you so much for making our engagement celebration one to remember :) read more

Been back many times since my last and have had a pretty good experience. This time the service was all over the place. They were really nice. But Baby's juice, later her cherries, then cheesey bread, and finally dessert...all had to be ordered multiple times before we got it. They had multiple large parties, and ours was large also, but write things down! Bread wasn't as good as normal...less butter/cheese. Everything else was good. And ultimately we still had a good time. Was just a little disjointed. read more

I have been going to Hy's Steak House for over 20 years and every time I visit has been a wonderful experience. The staff are the best -- they are the nicest, friendliest, most attentive people I've ever encountered in fine dining. The restaurant and staff even remember us when we visit! I always get either the New York or Filet Mignon, which are cooked just how you like and accompanied by freshly cooked vegetables and your choice of starch. I get their baked potato, which comes with toppings if your choice. They have salads that are prepared at your table side, which is a nice touch to the dining experience. I always recommend Hy's for those wanting to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a really good steak. Vibe: The ambiance is immaculate. The antique furnishings provide a regal atmosphere as you're able to either enjoy watching their small bar on the second floor or the grill master cooking the steaks on the first floor (behind a glass wall so that the smoke doesn't fill the restaurant). There is a musician playing calming guitar music and restrooms located in the hotel connected to the restaurant. Parking: They offer valet parking right outside the front entrance of the restaurant. read more

Great experience for a birthday celebration, they blew us away by just a simple "happy birthday" from Ali the bartender as we waited for the rest of our party...little touches like that happened all night and made it a special evening, thank you Hy's team! It ended with a desert plate with birthday candle, no loud obnoxious singing, just an elegant way to end the evening and acknowledge the birthday girls day! We did pay in advance for that celebration, and even moved the reservation a day earlier and only about 3-4 hours before, not sure they can always accommodate that late of a change and still pull off all the birthday touches, but they did for us and left us truly impressed, impeccable service. Inside the decor at the bar is from an 1800's estate in Pennsylvania, and Hy's even makes a nod to Delmonico's with a ribeye named after them. Having eaten at Delmonico's in Manhattan, they achieved the same level of service and food was great as well. Do not be dissuaded by the entrance from the street, it is in an older hotel/building and initial looks are not great, but step inside and you are transported to a truly great evening of elegance, food and service. read more

We celebrated my hubby's birthday at Hy's Steakhouse and loved the intimate ambiance with its dark wood accents, bookshelves, and classic paintings. We started the evening with their cheese bread, drinks, and a fresh seafood tower featuring poke, oysters, shrimp, snow crab, and lobster. For our main course, we shared a juicy 15 oz. Delmonico steak along with the rich truffled crab mac and cheese. Since my hubby is a big chocolate fan, we ended dinner with the Chocolate Lover tableside flambé served with vanilla ice cream. The food and service was excellent throughout the evening. read more

Hy's is an interesting place. Some of my friends think the steaks are amazing. I went a long time ago and I can't remember much about it. Therefore when I got the invitation to go again, I was looking forward to it! Waze/Google Maps guided me to Hy's and even though I was looking for it, I missed it. I turned when the maps said to turn and ended going up a valet ramp which dead ended in a place where you can't turn around. The valet guy came out and said he would "do me a favor" and let me park for $10 as long as I picked up before 10p (it was 8p). I could just go down the elevator and walk next door to Hy's. OK. I found out this was some kind of hotel and it made me nervous that they seemed to close the front after 9pm and I would have to try and ring in to ask to go back up to the valet. I found out why I missed Hy's, they have a sign, but it's not lit and it's easy to miss the entrance and Hy's is a little ways into the driveway. As I sat down, I mentioned the missed entrance and my party also said they missed it but turned around and was glad to find the FREE VALET! Well..... darn it. Whatever. Hy's looks like the typical steak place - dark and carpeted and woody. I heard a guitar and it was my friend Vernon Sakata who is an excellent guitarist!!! One of the best in the islands! That was a massive plus! We ordered and the service was good. To me, the prices were on the high side. $95 for a New York steak is somewhat high for Hawaii, but this was supposed to be one of the best so OK! I considered getting the Porterhouse for 2 for $208 but my wife likes the steak cooked differently from me, so we ordered separately. After a while it was apparent that dinner was not going to finish before 10pm, so I needed to get my car. I walked over and paid the guy, drove back to Hy's only to find one valet working and it took a while to park. By that time everyone had their food. I took one look at the steak and it looked very bland. No crust, very little on it, no sizzling platter or anything. The vegetables looked plain -just different colors of cauliflower and broccoli. The baked potato was ok. When I cut into the steak it was ok, the cook was fine but it wasn't particularly tender or juicy. I think this is the way it is supposed to be and therefore why I didn't remember anything about it long ago. I think it's a steak from a restaurant like 30 years ago. Contrast that to the other newer steak places now - great crust, juicy, well seasoned and yet up to $25 cheaper for a better tasting steak. In this respect Hy's falls way behind. Overall, I get it. It's an upscale place with a reputation for being expensive and having good service and great live music. (Audy Kimura was there for a long time too). It's a place to take people and impress them. I only wish the food was better and they could light up that sign. And don't make the same mistake I did by going one driveway too much and going up the valet ramp - it will cost you $10! read more

Amazing. I had booked this place after hearing so many recommendations from family here in HI. It was the last dinner of our stay here in hawaii and it happened to be my birthday dinner as well with my husband and kids. The service you get begins when you walk to the door until you leave the door I can see why this place is what it is. The decor is very fitting of a legit steak house, but if you want a short version think of haunted mansion-type feel without the spookiness just history behind its walls and our sever Romnick who gave a brief history of why the steakhouse is the way it is. His team who I apologize forgot their names, who also helped my family out were so professional, but also warm and accommodating to our little humans we brought with us, acknowledging their presence even if some other guests thought otherwise. The team were quick to fill water glasses, pick up napkins my daughter would drop (she's 11 months), always try to interact with my 3-year old son, and always asking if we needed anything cleared out while passing our table to serve another. Even the table side salad and desserts Romnick would interact with us and explain what he is doing and the ingredients he uses while making the Cesar salad or Chocolate lovers dessert keeps you engaged. The food was pretty good, my filet mignon was a little bit more on the rarer side than medium but it was okay, seasoned beautifully and cut like buttah. I appreciate the plate was accompanied by a starch and veggies because some places just have a steak on a plate and thats it. I didnt need any other premium sides. Im glad I chose this place i hope to bring the rest of my family the next time we're on the islands. read more

Still an amazing experience and Im so happy I was able to experience their Sunday Brunch that they only do 1 Sunday per month. Highlights for me was definitely the perfectly steamed snow crab legs, crab cake eggs Benedict, prime rib, roasted lamb, oysters, and my favorite dessert station complete with their legendary bananas Foster. Adult buffet price $130, amazing service and food in a gorgeous atmosphere. They recently did renovations to the restaurant giving it a nice "face-lift " while still keeping its original charm. read more

We had some special family in from Japan and they wanted to eat steak so we took them to Hy's Steak House. It was a large party so we ordered a lot of appetizers, wine, drinks and desserts. Our waiter was okay but he was a bit jumpy, didn't look you in the eye, but there was lots of support staff that kept our food coming and plates cleared away. We had escargot which was delicious, and the Maine scallops, caprese salad. For entrees most had the filet (lots of light eaters) but there were a couple of surf and turf, and a couple split the porterhouse for two. To celebrate we ordered all three of the flambe desserts, the chocolate lovers, apple streusel, and bananas foster, so we had quite the show. There were two waiters that kept us and the rest of the dining room entertained. A couple of birthdays were also celebrated so they brought out small cakes with candles which was very nicely presented. All in all it was a wonderful evening. My steak was okay but not memorable, but then we went for the experience and Hy's delivered! read more

We went to Hys last night for our last night in Oahu on vacation.. It's right up there with the best American steakhouses I've been to. The Wagyu 30 oz. Bone in ribeye was one of the specials last night and I had to get it. It had tons of flavor with that classic melt in your mouth wagyu texture. Tons of flavor too. They cook over charcoal at Hys and you can tell in the flavor of the steak. Way more flavor than your typical oven cooked steak. Atmosphere was traditional old world style. Tons of class. Service was also as good as it gets. I had the Cesar salad and Bananas Foster. They're both prepared table-side by the server. Really cool experience watching the table side preparation. Bananas Foster was out of this world good too! I would absolutely get that again if I come back. This was a home run all the way around!! I would absolutely come back if we vacation here again! read more

The world food tour duo made their last stop of 2025 at Hy's Steakhouse. The better half of the duo will be spending Christmas in Japan, so we had a pre-Christmas celebration on December 13th. We thought there was a special menu, but we found their normal menu, with three steak specials. I ordered a 2020 Kenzo Estate Rindo ($200), a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. This was a rich, complex wine with a nose of plum, black fruit and spice. Kenzo makes some of our favorite wines and this was a "steal" at $200 (as it costs $140 from Kenzo). We chose Escargot a la Hy's ($30), with a rich butter sauce and a loaf of herb bread. We dipped pieces of the bread into butter sauce. Next, a Warm Spinach Salad for two ($46), prepared tableside. The dressing was perfect, over spinach leaves, pieces of smoked bacon and slices of Crimini mushrooms. This was one of the best spinach salads I've had. Our entrees were the Slow Roasted Prime Rib (10oz, $81) and the 12oz NY Strip ($95) with Foie Gras ($28). We added Grilled Asparagus with Hollandaise ($18). Both meat dishes were tender and flavorful ... I think NY Strip steaks have more flavor than the more tender ribeye. We took a lot of food home. We were gifted a plate of small desserts ... That proved enough for both of us ... Had we ordered any dessert, it would have ended up in a takeout container. I ended our meal with a cup of coffee. This was a great meal with superlative service by Jerrell and Anthony. Hy's is arguably the best steakhouse in Honolulu. We thoroughly enjoyed our pre-Christmas meal ... Highly recommended! read more

We had a great holiday dinner at Hy's. We started with bread, oysters, and cocktail shrimp -- the oysters were fresh, but the shrimp were honestly just okay. The Caesar salad (2 orders for 4 people) was solid and easy to share. We also tried the lobster bisque and French onion soup. Both had good flavor, but they were pretty salty for our taste. The tomahawk wasn't our first time having it, but Hy's still makes it so well. Perfect sear, juicy, and definitely the highlight of the meal. Dessert with the apple, ice cream, and coffee combo was surprisingly perfect and ended the night on a really good note. Ambiance: The ambiance was amazing -- classic, cozy, and we got a really great seat, which made the whole vibe even better. And huge shout-out to our server Brett Iwanuma! Super friendly, attentive, and really made the experience better. Overall, a few dishes were salty or just average, but the steak, ambiance, and service totally made up for it. read more

I know this place is in Waikiki but as one of the premiere high end steakhouses in Hawaii I was disappointed. Service was fantastic. I can't say that enough. From the valet (only valet parking is available and it's validated - remember to still tip!), to the hosts, to our servers and busers, service was wonderful. Staff were quick, attentive and friendly. Inside is pretty amazing. Decorated like a classic steakhouse it was anything but casual. And the space was much larger than anticipated! It was a maze of rooms getting to our table. Food was just so so and that's why my review is 3 stars. Escargot appetizer was fine but nothing special. As the restaurants signature app I expected it to be better or at least more unique. The soup of the day happened to be a lobster bisque and while they piled the lobster on (yum) the soup itself was not very good. For our mains we ordered the dry aged rib eye and the steak au poivre. The dry aged steak was extremely disappointing! It lacked flavor and was full of grissle. Definitely not worth ordering it and definitely not worth the price! The steak au poivre was better than the rib eye but again nothing special. For dessert we got the crème brulee and that was good but honestly the homemade whipped cream was the most delicious part. read more

If I could I'd give it a 10/5!! The inside its such an older but very well up-kept decor thats so classy for a steakhouse.

Their cheese bread is soo good, but don't get full off of it. I liked their table side salad & was tasty. The beef wellington was perfectly cooked and i wish I could eat it again right now. I'd highly recommend coming here for any special event!! read more

Came here for a friend's birthday and it blew our expectations away. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and "stately"/elegant, so do come prepared to dress business casual at the "low" end so you're fitting in with other clientele. Food was great, although very pricey if you look at the menu, so that was the only downside. Shout out to Trevor who was pleasant and on top of it. One of our appetizers was not brought out, and we weren't going to say anything, until our waiter approached us, apologized for it not coming out, brought it out, AND comped us! Excellent service recovery. read more

This is famous in Waikiki and a must experience. The service is impeccable. Dining room is very lovely and all the waiters are in tuxes. There is a dress code for men and women. Had a very romantic booth in a small room with 2 booths. Started with my go to drink blanco patron with pineapple juice shaken with a splash of lime. Made to perfection. Started with escargot appetizer. It was one of the best. Garlicky and buttery, comes with warm bread. Gotta dip your bread in the leftover garlic butter. The cheesy bread that comes at the table is good, like a grilled cheese sandwich. Order the French onion soup and they split it for us. Very good but a bit salty. We have French onion soup everywhere we go. This was 3.5/5. Again it needed sweeter onions and it was salty. Next Caesar salad tableside. It was good but way too much Parmesan that made it very salty. I would say they need to measure the amount of parm. Hubby had all the croutons and I had all the lettuce. Again better portions. Next ordered the 15oz prime rib. Veggie and lobster Mac and cheese. The prime rib I ordered med rare plus and it was definitely rare. Was very flavorful. The lobster Mac and cheese was the best part of the meal. Cheese pull was on point. The cauliflower, brocolli veggie mix was excellent. Good crunch and flavorful. Ordered the passion fruit creme brûlée. It was an early birthday so they gave us a comped brownie dessert. Both were good, the creme brûlée was delicious and so balanced. Overall an experience and the service was the best. Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food 4/5 So if I could would give it 4.5/5 overall. read more

Hy's is definitely my favorite steakhouse on O'ahu. Although it is pricey, the service and food quality is top notch. I love that we were seated close to where the steaks are cooked - the chef is in a glass room and he even poses if you take a picture lol. The ambiance is quite posh. Whenever I think of eating of a steakhouse in Waikiki - my mind always goes to Hy's! read more

Another wonderful experience @ Hy's Steak house . Had dinner with my sister and brother in law for my sister belated birthday celebration. I ordered their prime rib which no complaints every time . Along with a crab cake appetizer. My sister had the lobster tail which she loved . Brother in law had a half a rack of lamb. Service was on point always around when needed something . Water was always filled and tables always attend too. Will be back in the future read more

My husband has been going here for 40+ years but hadn't been in 15 or so. We showed up at 713 pm for our 730 pm reservation, and were told our table wasn't ready. They sat us in the bar area to get a drink. We were finally sat at 743 pm, after another family sat at a 3 top 10 minutes before us that had just arrived (the table had been empty the entire time we were waiting). Service was ok but not great. Empty glasses sat on the table for a while. Then our $210 steak arrived and it was overcooked- ordered it rare and came over medium. By this point, we were so tired we didn't want to send it back so we tried to chew it. Everyone around us seemed happy so maybe it was just us, but it didn't get off to a good start from the beginning for us. For a $400 dinner for 3, there are better options in town- sad to say. read more
