    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

    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.

    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.

    Birthday lunch!

    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!

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

    Great food and great service! Thank you Pila. Great view of the Waikiki beach. I've been here a few times and everything on the menu is amazing. The wings, the pulled pork sandwich, or the Wagyu beef burger are all good choices.

    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.

    Big Kahuna Burger

    Food was good for breakfast a bit pricey but I guess your paying for the view here Service was most are friendly. A bit busy the wait is 30 to 40 mins long good to reserve . Will come back sometime

    French Toast Medley

    The service was good, pretty view of the beach. Each plate cost from 20-30$. Iced Coffee was not the best. The food was a solid 6.5/10 maybe 7. Food was okay

    Perfect place to eat with a beautiful view We got there around brunch and the place was open view with fresh air and clean seating area , it wasn't crowded and there was a lot of servers to help us and get our food going . The food was soo good and a pretty good portion the location is right across from the beach and you can literally see the best as you eat or take your food to go and eat on the sand such a perfect location I would def recommend going if your in Hawaii

    This spot was so cute, big, lots of beautiful scenery and such friendly service! I wish I remembered the staffs name but they were so quick to take care of us and had great attitudes. My food was so good I wish I could have gone back before heading back to California. Had the omelet and fried rice- very flavorful and decent portion for the price. Highly recommend

    Cadillac Margarita
    John H.

    Grabbed lunch here on a Friday about noon. We were seated along the bar facing the side street as the spots directly facing the ocean are 'reserved' seats. Our server was busy, so getting in our orders was delayed a few minutes, but the scenery is great, so no biggie. We got in our drink and food orders and the drinks came in about 5 minutes and the food shortly after. I got the Cadillac Margarita, and it was very good! My wife got a beer and we shared nachos. The nachos wet layered really well, so we got lots of goodness in every bite. Jalapeños were spicy and fresh, as was the cilantro. Pork was tasty, Nd all the other toppings were great as well. Need a key to access the bathroom, and there are tables. Bar seats, etc., providing lots of options.

    Mrs. picante and I got away for a shared milestone birthday this year without the kids, and enjoyed a few days in Waikiki. We had an absolutely wonderful time, although admittedly, this was not my favorite Hawaiian location or vacation. Still, one of the highlights was eating at Lulu's Café no fewer than four times during our stay. Yes, my wife really liked the place. One could argue that is due largely to their substantial gluten-free menu, and her recent celiac diagnosis. But to be fair, each time we visited, we tried a different dish, and everything was delicious. As you might expect in a place like Waikiki, the servers were all very attentive, and sweet. Our drinks never ran dry, and they checked in on us just the right number of times. On two of our visits, we sat at the counter overlooking the street below, with a beautiful view of Waikiki Beach. My diet experienced a sudden, painful, and calorie related death somewhere between a breakfast of mochi pancakes, and a subsequent visit that watched me consume a moco Loco. I thought the beat salad was absolutely delightful, and probably the healthiest thing I ate during my trip to Hawaii. You can't beat the burgers, and here they have one that comes with a big thick juicy patty, and a big pile of pulled barbecue pork. Do not come here on a diet. Of all the places in Hawaii that we ate on this trip, this place by far was our favorite.

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.

I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way.

Parking is tight, but you can park at Ala Moana and walk over, and it's worth it. Next time we're coming back for Grandma's Old Fashioned and the pork belly bao buns. This isn't a bar you stumble into, it's one you come back to.
