    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.

    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!

    Forgot what this was bah

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!!!

    Caprese Salad.
    Richard D.

    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)

    Tomahawk Steak

    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.

    Garlic steak

    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.

    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 :)

    Hy's Steak House Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Hy's Steak House

    Is there a corkage fee? What is it?

    My deepest apology. As I have quit drinking for couple of decades, I do not know of any corkage fee at Hy's. But calling and asking shouldn't be a problem. The people are very accommodating.

    Look forward to dining at HY's. Is there a specific dress code?

    Absolutely! Men collar shirt and slacks. Ladies dress or skirt and blouse. No swim attire they will deny you at the door.

    I have a Hy's gift certificate. Can I use it at the pop-up location?

    Is Hy's still in business?

    Yes. They are currently doing renovations. However, they do have a "pop up restaurant" at their sister property at the Ritz Carlton in Waikiki.

    What are the hours?

    5pm - 9pm

    Do you have a high chair for a toddler?

    Yes, we have highchairs for the little ones.

    Is there room for a baby stroller to park next to a dinner table?

    Yes, provided we are notified when the reservation is made, we can plan for it. Thank you for asking.

    Dress code for gents? I didn't plan on taking pants. I do have nicer khaki shorts, I'd usually go golfing in or an upscale casual happy hour. Guess, I need to pack pants?

    I'm pretty sure shorts is ok. Only covered shoes and collared shirts are required for the men. And No swimwear. They will provide a blazer if a guy does not have a collared shirt on. So your golf outfit should be fine!

    Where do you park?

    Use their Valet Parking. No self parking on-site. Just tip the valet guys.

    What are the dresses codes for women?

    Dresses are welcome. Evening wear is encouraged

    Are kids allowed, do you have a kids menu?

    Yes. Kids are welcome. We have two both under the age of 10. There was a Children's menu upon request. There was another family with young children too while we dined, but it is less common.

    How much is the seafood tower?

    Do you welcome unvaccinated guests?

    As of September 13, 2021 All restaurants, Gyms, Bars, etc. you will need to show a Covid Vaccine Card & an ID to enter.

    Hi! I see that you offer a kid's menu. What are the menu items and their respective costs? Mahalo!

    Aloha Penina, Our children's menu has the following items:… 

    I'd like to make reservations for Wednesday 6/2 at 7pm. It would be 3 of us total. Can someone please help? thanks.

    Hi Patricia. We currently have no reservations available until June 14. I realize that’s a long way off but please call Hy’s, 808-922-5555 tomorrow to speak with us directly.… 

    Can I pls make reservation at 845-9pm tomorrow? My daughter is having graduation ceremony tomorrow night. Party of 3 downstairs with a booth by the library pls. It said you close at 930pm. What time do we have to leave? Thanks…

    Hi Tinna Can I have your full name and best contact phone number please? I have 3 of you booked at… 

    Do they have a kids menu? I have a 12 year old. He loves chicken tenders and fries

    Yes they do ... I'll post it to the Yelp site !

    How far in advance shall I put in a reservation?

    Aloha Stasia, For holidays, we highly recommend booking your reservation with us months 1-2 months in advance. For a regular booking, we recommend booking at minimum 7 days… 

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes! Burger and Fries… 

    Are the steaks dry-aged and if so, for how long?

    I don't recall it being dry aged. They don't advertise that as a selling point. Try and call them. Also, in regard to the other answer, my personal opinion is it's Wagyu and not Kobe (A5 -7/8)

I came in on a whim my first night, loved it so much that I came back for a second night, and I'm already planning to come back tomorrow for my third -- and final -- night in Hawaii. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for sitting down with a glass (or a few tastings ) and just enjoying the evening. I'm traveling solo, and I especially appreciate how comfortable it feels to come here by yourself. You can unwind, people-watch, try different wines, and never feel out of place. Sometimes the best places are the ones you find completely by accident. I definitely wasn't planning on becoming a regular during one short trip to Honolulu, but here we are. If I come somewhere three nights in a row while on vacation, that probably tells you everything you need to know. Definitely a place I'll remember -- and come back to the next time I'm in Hawaii.

    Appetito Craft Pizza & Wine Bar was a hit with the whole family!…read more This delicious restaurant is just half a block from our hotel and after walking by so many times, we finally decided to give it a try. For our first time we decided to just walk-in and they had a 20-minute wait, which was not too bad compared to other dinner spots. However, I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time through Open Table. For dinner we decided to go with the mushroom cheese risotto, truffle alfredo fettuccine and arugula salad. For my little one we went with their margherita pizza. Everything was outstanding! Probably the best risotto I've ever had! It was packed with flavor and so good and comforting. The truffle alfredo was perfection, and the taste of the truffle was on point. My little picky eater almost finished the whole pizza, which I guess was a good sign. We loved it so much we decided to come back the following week. For the second time I didn't notice I had made reservations during their happy hour. Please note they have a happy hour food menu with heavily discounted food items which I thought was amazing. During this time we also tried the curry meatball and the prosciutto pizza. As always, everything was absolutely delicious! I know people don't usually go to Hawaii to eat Italian food, but definitely give this spot a chance during your visit!

PICTURED 01. citrus-cured salmon toast: country bread, lemon-cream cheese, scrambled eggs, capers, red onions, chives, waipoli mixed greens ($22) if i could eat this for breakfast every day, i could envision becoming a morning person. i loved how the citrus and capers brightened every savory bite. the bread was perfectly toasted and the vegetables were wonderfully crisp. 02. crab cake benedict: english muffin, kale, two poached waialua eggs, hollandaise, yuzu kosho honey mustard, sidewinder potatoes ($28) this was a refreshing take on a classic breakfast item. the crab cake and potatoes were salted just right! 03. charcoal buttermilk pancakes: guava strawberry sauce, ash whipped cream, berries ($20) these pancakes were a DREAM: fluffy and accompanied by sauce that was not too sweet!

She gave us great recommendations. I'm glad we took her advice. The pork loin with butternut squash special was delicious. Every bite was tender and had a wonderful balance of flavors. The pear salad has amazing fresh pear slices with a wonderful complement of greens, cheese and salad dressing. I'll definitely go back during my next trip.

The wines selected for us were superb, along with the high-quality food served to accompany them. I was genuinely surprised to discover such a wonderful gem right there inside the market. Gino and the entire staff were warm, knowledgeable, and very attentive to all of the patrons. They made us feel so welcome, and we truly appreciated the wonderful service and hospitality. Even though we live on Hawaiʻi Island, we will definitely be back the next time we are on Oʻahu. Highly recommended!

Quite a bit of parties around us were partaking in this. Though a friend of mine didn't want to drink a whole bottle by herself, she tried a glass of Rosé from France which she stated was very delicious. I on the other hand had asked for a non-alcoholic option. Unfortunately, they ran out of ginger beer, all the sparkler options, and didn't serve any soda. The bartender looked pretty irritated by that point, and didn't even provide me with a glass of water. We would've grabbed a bunch of food to compensate for taking up a seat, but by then, the bartender had already dropped the check, and we hadn't even sat there for more than 5 minutes. The most interesting part was that an older couple sat next to us, similar situation. The gentleman asked for a glass of wine, and his wife asked for a non-alcoholic beverage. Though a different bartender came back with a sparkler option for her. Needless to say, I felt pushed aside and I don't believe I'll be back to this location any time soon. The only reason I didn't give this review a 1-2 star is that I recognize that Abe is busting his butt there. He was floating back and forth between this bar and Eleven. Separate review with my direct encounter with Abe at Eleven forthcoming.

We stopped in during their happy hour from 3-5 PM, and it immediately stood out as an ideal after-work pau hana or easy date-night spot. The space is relaxed and inviting, with a calm, tucked-away feel that makes you forget you're inside a hotel. The happy hour menu is impressively priced, with starters beginning at just $6, yet everything feels thoughtfully prepared and elevated. Highlights included the toasted bread with sun-dried tomato pistou -- warm, crisp toast paired with a deeply savory, herbaceous spread that's simple but incredibly satisfying. The mini poke bowl was fresh and well-balanced, showcasing clean flavors and quality fish without being overly heavy. The fish tacos delivered exactly what you want: crispy island fish, bright flavors, and a great balance of texture. We also tried the fish and chips, featuring lightly fried island fish, hot fries, and a creamy house remoulade that tied the dish together beautifully. The standout for us was the empanadas -- flaky, crisp pastry filled with tender braised beef and potato, finished with a bold aji rojo sauce that added just the right amount of depth and gentle heat. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, and the overall vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. Whether you're looking for a low-key happy hour, a casual date spot, or a place to unwind after work, this is a hidden gem worth seeking out. Pro tip: Arrive early for happy hour -- once more people discover this spot, it won't stay quiet for long.

The cafe had a nice inviting feel that extended towards the back, the ambiance was dark and chic. The cafe was adorned with Halloween motif. We placed our orders at the counter which was towards the front section and our food were served at our table. I chose the Spinach Mushroom Goat Cheese Omelette and Lemonade for my drink. That homemade lemonade was so refreshing and delicious! Loved the delicious spinach and mushroom in my omelet. Hubby ordered a classic breakfast of Two Eggs w/ Bacon and Roasted Potatoes... wow! the bacon was crispy and yummy and just how I like my bacon cooked. He gave me 2-pieces, maybe because he saw me drooling over it LoL! but I'm telling you, Therese's Wagyu Cheeseburger on Brioche with French Fries looked mighty yummy too! Thank you, Terry, for inviting us to join you for a Sunday brunch. We had a wonderful first time dining experience here with good food and company! Review #3585

There's…read morealways a silver lining to any difficult situation- and in this case, Silver Lining Wine Bar is where you should go to find solace and happiness after a tough day. Silver Lining is located in Kakaako with it's own private parking lot. Yes, it does look a little sketchy before you open the door- but hey, it's giving Speakeasy so just lean into the experience and you won't be disappointed! Inside you are met with soft jazz music and a beautiful bar which only sits maybe 10-12 people. There's also a small private room in the wine cellar which you can reserve if you call ahead. Regardless, it's super intimate and a perfect place to unwind or have a special date night. They only serve natural wines and they have a huge selection! They will also give you recommendations if you don't know where to start. Don't be afraid to talk to the bartenders or the wonderful owner- they will definitely point you in the right direction. I've been here three times already and each time tops the last. I've tried: - Mushroom Carpaccio: SO fresh and SO delicious. I have never had anything like this before, and man it's a must try. - Arugula Salad: You just can't go wrong. The balsamic is so tangy and tasty- please don't skip this either. - Baked Meatballs & Sauce: DELICIOUS!!! So tasty and it goes so well with their red wines. - Charcuterie: I have never had charcuterie as fresh as this honestly. They slice the meat in front of you too which is so cool. Definitely a must try if you love charcuterie. My girlfriends and I have tried a lot of their wines (maybe too much LOL) but all of them are so good. Seriously, you can't go wrong. It's also really cool because they serve tasting portions of the wine, but if you like it a lot you can also buy a carafe (or buy the whole bottle like we did). Silver Lining is such a gem and I can't wait to be back again soon!!!

I'm currently choosing to avoid alcohol as much as possible, so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the incredible selection of wines recommended by the owner. However, I visited with a friend who is a true wine enthusiast, and they couldn't stop talking about how exceptional the wine selection was. The food, on the other hand, was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully prepared and so delicious that it genuinely made me happy. You can really tell that great care goes into every plate. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and incredibly inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with friends. Most of all, I want to compliment the owner and the entire staff. Their genuine kindness, professionalism, and warm hospitality made our experience even more memorable. Excellent service can turn a great restaurant into a truly special one, and that's exactly what they've created here. Thank you for such joyful and memorable evenings. I look forward to coming back again soon, and I highly recommend Silver Lining to anyone looking for outstanding food, excellent wine, and truly exceptional hospitality. 先月、Silver Liningに2回伺う機会がありましたが、どちらも本当に素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。 私は現在、できるだけお酒を控えるようにしているため、オーナーがおすすめしてくださる豊富で素晴らしいワインを十分に楽しむことはできませんでした。しかし、一緒に行ったワインにとても詳しい友人は、そのワインセレクションを大絶賛していました。 そして、お料理は本当に感動するほどおいしかったです。一皿一皿が丁寧に作られていて、おいしすぎて幸せな気持ちになりました。料理に対するこだわりがしっかり伝わってきます。 店内はとても居心地が良く、温かい雰囲気で、友人とゆっくりとした時間を過ごすのにぴったりのお店です。 何よりも感動したのは、オーナーをはじめスタッフの皆さんの接客です。親切で心のこもったおもてなしのおかげで、食事の時間がさらに特別なものになりました。素晴らしい料理に加えて、この温かいサービスがこのお店の魅力だと思います。 楽しくて幸せな時間を本当にありがとうございました。またぜひ伺いたいと思います。おいしい料理、素晴らしいワイン、そして最高のおもてなしを求めている方に、自信を持っておすすめできるお店です。
