    silverware
    Aaliyah H.

    As a local, I highly recommend this small business. It wasn't the food that sold me, it was the generosity of giving back to the service employees. I forget what the discount is, but I just know that you are a service employee who works in Hawaii, they offer you a discount on your order; and that's how you bring in business and build loyalty with no just tourists, but locals as well. First off, I neeever heard of Lulu's before, but apparently it's been around for years and is a staple in Hawaii/Waikiki. It's definitely someplace that knows their main clientele will probably be 99% tourists so that may be why I never thought of it. But after today, I'll for sure recommend it to people who ask for a good place to eat and don't mind being in Waikiki. The view is amazing! It's got a panorama of Waikiki beach and the weather was beautiful when we went. I don't know what it's like in the winter time or when it's really windy, but we were sure blessed with good weather. I wonder if it gets hot here since the windows are always open? Strangely enough, I got a pasta. Why? Personally, it's because I was very protein heavy throughout the day and I figured, why not start with the most random item! Who needs a local dish??? Everyone at the table was very satisfied with the loco moco and the drinks we all got. I too was satisfied with my pasta, but it's not about the pasta, it's about the local foods and how well they do! I also have to admit, the fish special they had this night tasted amazing! Overall, just come here and continue to support small business, so that they can continue to support other small businesses and other service workers.

    Spicy Jalapeño Burger
    JadaStar W.

    I like the ambiance of the location! It's an open air bar that has decent food options and a great view of the beach. I've been here a couple of times and have always had friendly service and good time. I went with my family on this last visit and most of us got burgers. I wasn't a huge fan of the basque cheesecake, but it was interesting to try something new.

    Fish and chips
    Sydni K.

    We had a gift certificate for Lulus, so we decided to give it a try. As a local, I don't love coming into Waikiki, but parking was easy and affordable on a Sunday at the zoo. The restaurant is located on the second floor with entrances on both the Kalakaua and Kapahulu sides. We came for a late lunch around 2pm. The restaurant wasn't super crowded, but we still had to wait around for a table. For three of us, we shared the Lulu moco and fish and chips. The Lulu moco was loaded, and I loved how there was both beef and kalua pig on it. The gravy was delicious and a hefty portion. The fish and chips were solid as well. While the breeze throughout the restaurant was nice, I was not a big fan of the birds. The birds were sitting on cleaned tables, which didn't feel super sanitary to me. But overall, the food was good!

    Acai Bowl
    Kathy N.

    FOOD: delicious! This was the first real açaí bowl I had and I can understand the hype! My boyfriend devoured his loco moco but I didn't really get to try. SERVICE: very kind. A girl in braids was our server and she felt like a friend AMBIANCE: very casual and beachy. Open window so birds can fly in and walk around

    GF Spicy Ahi Poke
    Amy C.

    Spicy poke gf 4.5/5, could have used a bit less sauce. Mocktail 4/5, good flavor Jalapeño burger 5/5 Bar service was fast and friendly. Fun place, but super busy!

    Aloha avocado toast (with bacon added)
    Amy M.

    Surprisingly good brunch, especially considering this is typically a night spot! We ordered mochi pancakes, aloha avocado toast, and one of the egg dishes. Everything was very good, and the kids were very happy to see so many different kinds of mochi pancakes (strawberry, banana, ube, etc)! The environment is casual, open-air on the second floor, and you can see the water from most tables (although keep in mind you're across the street, not on the beach). The service is friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back here for brunch the next time I'm in the area!

    Vodka Cream Linguine
    Abby B.

    Made reservations for a group of nine for our first night in Waikiki, and it was more than I expected. We got seated at our own "private" table in the corner, which was nice, and our server, Kaylee, was so cool and attentive. We ordered a round of drinks and our entrées, which came out pretty quickly. I will say the drinks were just alright (we all basically ordered piña coladas). They were a bit disappointing, but it was fine. The food, however, was surprisingly pretty good. I had the Chicken Vodka Cream Linguine, which was not too creamy and had a lot of flavor. I personally really enjoyed it. A couple of the guys ordered the Loco Moco, and one loved it, one said it was salty in a good way, and one said it was overly salty, so take that as you will. A couple of other people ordered the poke nachos, which they said were good, and others got the ahi poke. Portions were quite large. The place itself was lively and large. It can seat a good number of people, and even though we were kind of off to the side with our own party, it still felt comfortable. The manager also stopped by to check if everything was okay and cracked a few jokes with us, which was cool. For a big party on the Waikiki strip, I thought Lulu's did really well.

    Birthday lunch!
    Kent V.

    We had a delicious lunch here on our last day with a group of 5 people. I had the chicken cesar wrap. This was filling and tasted so good! Others in my group had the pork tacos, cheese burger, loco mocco and a kids eggs breakfast. We thought all of our meals were good and the service was great. Prices seem fair for the quality of food. We were celebrating a birthday and they acknowledged it and brought out some guava ice cream for us all. Much appreciated. We were able to make reservations online which helped during busy lunch time. Would come back again for sure!

    Alex B.

    Fruit medley - we got this as an appetizer. Skip the guava sorbet unless you really like guava and sorbet. Strawberries were out of this world with flavor! So we're the pineapples. Papaya was good as was the cantelope. Green melon was meh. Overall worth getting. Coffee with Mac nut flavor was awful! Do not order lol Guava juice was good but watered down with ice. Bloody Mary was great! Banana Foster pancakes - added the coconut syrup. Definitely very filling. If you like banana foster then you'll LOVE this! Side of bacon - skip! Cheap and fatty with no flavor. Side of sourdough toast - "hard work" to chew and cold but good flavor. Veggie omelet - very good! Potatoes were very hard and undercooked but good flavor. Strawberry pancakes - yummy! Out of this world!!! I heard the tacos are amazing! The person next to us said she's ordered them twice already. Staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, this restaurant is one of the highlights of our trip whenever we come. We made a reservation for my mom's birthday and sat at the bar overlooking the water. Definite memories here! Can't wait to come back here to try the lunch/dinner menu. I'd give it a 4.25-4.5 star experience for the food but add in the views and ambiance and it's easily 5 stars.

    Acai Bowl
    Renee R.

    This restaurant is located on the second floor and also accessible from the Park Shore Hotel. The service provided by Ricky was EXCELLENT! He was friendly and had GREAT recommendations that were AMAZING!! We had Hawaiian coffees (the flowers are edible), açaí bowl to share, the Lulu Moco (their version of a Loco Moco), and a Longboard Burrito. Everything was so tasty and we almost needed a nap after LOL. Will DEFINITELY return next time we're here visiting.

    Sunset Sesh Omelet
    Stella F.

    Food was ok. Potatoes were not fully cooked, omelet was good, nothing too special. However I was hungry so I ate all of it. A little expensive, BUT restaurant had a fantastic view of Waikiki and the zoo from the window. My group had a reservation for 13 for about two weeks, and unfortunately had to wait 10 minutes after our reserved time to get our table ready, and they stuck us in the corner no where near the window, lol. So I rate it a 3/5 because of the expensive food and receiving undercooked potato's and the reservation situation. But for small groups it is probably a better experience.

    Krissm A.

    We were a party of 18 for a pre graduation celebration. The server ( I forgot his name) he was super friendly and awesome service. He did a great job with taking care of us. Service was perfect and our food came out quick. The food was great and flavorful. What a great experience and for him to be patient with us. Thank you. What a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it. This is located in front of Waikiki strip, no parking lot for this location. Thank you Lulu's Waikiki! Oh yah Poke nachos FIRE yum!!!

    Chocolate Chip Mochi Pancakes Longboard Burrito
    Carissa H.

    Nice extensive menu. No wait, good food. Beautiful view! Prices are a little high but the food is yummy and service is good too! The longboard burrito is yummy and filling, love kalua pork! Mochi chocolate chip pancakes are so tasty and fluffy, flavorful! Plenty of water refills :)

    Great view from Lulu's car & grill!  Pila , thank you for the great recommendations!

To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.
