Stopped in today for a couple beers - nice atmosphere and staff. Good selection of beers. Didn't have a meal but enjoyed the views.

Dwight was our server and he was awesome--super friendly, helpful, and just cool all around. He had a ton of great recommendations and made our whole experience even better. The food was amazing, and Dwight really added to it. Would definitely come back and ask for him again! read more

the eggs benedict muffin was tough to slice, the toasts were cold, the pancake wasn't moist, it seems that it was just sitting there. The server wasn't around to refill our coffee, I basically left my cup by the edge of the table so that they could see its empty, I had to ask for it to be refilled. Use to love coming here when it was cinnamons, the quality is not the same. I only enjoyed my coffee. read more

The food was terrible. Both the steak and pancakes were overcooked, with the pancakes being extremely dry. I ordered a medium well steak, but what I received was tough and gray. The fried rice was simply gross. I've been pleasantly surprised at other places, but this place was shockingly bad. Even the eggs were terrible. My kids ordered French toast and didn't eat it claiming it was dry as well. 0/10 Didn't want to post pictures because we spit the food out. Sorry read more

The service is HORRENDOUS. They might as well roll their eyes lol it's basically that. Holy bajeezus! Like, y'all know you can get another job if you want? As someone who is super nice and friendly to be met with such attitude from START TO FINISH there was nothing we could do or say to get any other type of service other than straight ATTITUDE read more

Five stars.. This place is awesome. Nicest people ever . Great food.. Great location. Truly awesome read more

Decided to walk from our hotel and saw this place. Got seats and it took over 20min for someone to take drink orders or even acknowledge us while they sat groups after us and decided to take their drinks/food orders. Food took a while as well and food was basic. read more

I was so excited to see Menehune Grille open and occupy the vacant space after Cinnamon's closed. I was not disappointed and got to enjoy their breakfast & lunch menu! The host was super friendly and we got seated quickly for lunch. Tried their loco moco and boy was it delicious; the patty was super juicy. Went another time for lunch and tried their Waimea Burger, it was soo huge. The burger was juicy like the loco moco and I could only finish half and was full until dinner time. I heated up the burger the next day & it was still juicy and delicious. Look forward to coming again to try more of their menu. read more

The Lychee martini is to die for! We had the pork appetizer and it was so flavorful. Christina, the bartender, was excellent!

My wife and I live nearby and decided to give this a try. We were very pleasantly suprprided by the great service and great food. Thank you so much Ken & Michelle read more

Our first visit was for breakfast. I thought it was slow due to the time. Everyone in my party wanted me to order , they didn't trust how slow it looked. I ordered the MC breakfast, 2 eggs, rice, bacon, etc. my son decides to order banana pancakes with coconut syrup. We were expecting to be blown away. Our waitress was nice but extremely ditsy and lack of any care as to how good she does her job. Nice enough. But no utensils, no napkins, even after she brought our food, I had to ask. Food was Luke warm like it had been sitting .Pancakes came with 5SLICES of banana and a cup of thick white stuff that looked like jizz.. I don't know why but we tried happy hour 2 days later. Never again, it's not worth my money, my health. Food is absolutely disgusting & it's no happy hour, just 2 dollar discount. Again, no utensils. Weird, felt like they want our money but just don't want us here.. very sad read more

Very happy with prompt service of both pre dinner drinks and food. Ilikai needs a restaurant like Menehune. Would like to see larger menu to encourage guests to return more often. Elijah was both welcoming and very pleasant for our two hours here. read more

Went downstairs to have an easy dinner at the hotel and got a dance party for my kids.

5 Stars - A Hidden Gem by the Harbor! If you're anywhere near the harbor and craving a good meal, do yourself a favor and stop at this spot. I stopped by after a long flight and left planning my next visit. The burger? Hands down one of the best I've ever had. Juicy, and topped with all the right stuff. The fries were golden, crispy, and addictive. But what really made the experience unforgettable was Tessa, our waitress. Friendly, attentive, and full of great local tips, she made us feel right at home from the second we sat down. She had a charm that turns a good meal into a great memory. With the harbor views, relaxed island vibe, and mouthwatering food, this place is everything you hope to find in Hawaii. Can't wait to come back! read more

This used to be cinnamon's restaurant and I was bummed at first but when I got my food I was so pleasantly surprised! The quality of the food will bring me back possibly tomorrow! The fried rice that came with the breakfast was delicious and the Mochi pancakes were phenomenal!! I highly recommend this place! Very clean and great scenery! read more

I had Elijah as my bartender and he was extremely welcoming. He made me an amazing drink and would recommend coming to menehune for a positive experience. read more

Our food came out at room temperature, and a party that came in after we already ordered, got their food before us. Our waiter was nice, but those two things alone ruined the whole experience. $9.25 for a cold brew ice coffee too is crazy. read more

Wow! What a place! Amazing food, amazing atmospher, and amazing service. Loved every second of it! My wife and I were bummed we didn't get to see our favorite blue eyed bartender with the tattoos on our last night but it didn't matter because we got to meet Stori the general manager and what a treat she was! Such a dazzling ray of sunshine. Menehune, you guys got a good one! read more

Love being at this venue, especially with the live music! of Connor Johnson. Christina is an incredible bartender that keeps the flow perfectly! Lots of aloha here for sure! read more

Barely anyone in the place yet they let you stand waiting to be seated...like avoiding eye contact. Ambiance is great and the guitarist/singer was amazing. Food (sorry for the blunt honesty) was below mid. Like bad bar food. And the service was no better. Ate here twice and had to ask for utensils and napkins both times... after the food arrived. Not to mentioned to watered down soy sauce and barely cooked edamame. First time here we had the banana pancakes with five small slices of banana on dry pancakes. Wanted to love this place since we were staying here but I'm sorry... you may want to mosey down the beach more. read more

We came here a few times inside ilikai hotel. We tried their breakfast once and it wasnt my favorite. Tried the avocado toast and loco moco but just wasnt something that fulfilled my appetite. On the other hand we had a few drinks at the bar that were great. A mai tai, a green blended version of a pina colada which was amazing, their lemongrass yellow drink with gin was my favorite. The bartender was extremely helpful. read more

Marina was so great. We felt like we knew her by the time we left. What everyone should aspire to as a bartender

Marina was the best. Coming back to see her every shift she works. Recommended the chili wings that were great!

My grandparents used to stay at the ilikai decades ago and we found ourselves nearby on what oils have been my grandfather's 104th birthday so we decided to stop in for a cocktail and a toast. Since it was happy hour, we weren't able to get a seat at the bar, and service elsewhere was kind of slow. Not the best glass of wine I've ever had, but the pina colada my partner had was very tasty. Nice view of the marina. read more

The service was amazing! Marina made the best drinks and was super engaging! Will definitely be back.

What an experience for our anniversary! Very romantic with live music and beautiful sunset. The food was tasty with great favorites! read more

Yummy food, great vibes!!! We also really loved our server Sierra - she made our experience 10/10!

Gf Pancakes were amazing! I have an allergy and my server Sierra was so accommodating and helped me navigate the menu!

Our server was super nice, and our drinks tasted really good, food was room temp. However, we ordered drinks for 3 of us and one of us got dinner. The person in our party who ordered dinner had finished it before we got our drinks. Someone who wasn't our server brought our drinks and we were waiting to tell our server to just cancel the drinks. We told the woman who brought our drinks it took really long and she apologized and asked what she could do for us. She said they were super busy and low on staff but there were 4 people seated at the bar and 5 or 6 tables and at least 4 servers and 1 hostess there. It was 8 pm, not a dinner rush time. Instead of offering us anything for the slow service, we still payed full price for everything, including the $28 cocktails. read more

Came back the next morning and had loco moco - same great experience and food. Relaxed experience read more

Make sure to go visit miss tessa at the bar! Great service and wonderful drinks! Very nice happy hour as well!

We loved every minute of our experience here. David and Christina were phenomenal bartenders. Great conversation, drinks and atmosphere from the time we walked in until the time we left. They have great live music and a happy hour that rivals some of the best in Waikiki. We will definitely be back. read more

Loved this place! Everything we ordered was delicious and came out fast. Claire was so welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was fun and the service was great. The manager even personally checked on us multiple times! Can't wait to come back! read more

Was really disappointed and frankly disgusted that they always had Fox News blaring across their TV. Last thing I want to see or hear while on vacation is a bunch of right wing racists pushing maga propaganda! Now about the food, I had a specialty salad and it lacked in taste, just like the tv channel mentioned above. The salad needed som flavor, it was mediocre at best. The staff were friendly on the surface, but by the time you read this and eat there, they might have already gone nuts, which is to be expected from anyone working in such a hazardous working environment. Anyone who's forced to listen to Fox News while working should get compensation for their years of therapy they will need from the horrific brainwashing those poor worker are going through. It's beautifully located in the Ilikai hotel, and in front of the harbor, which is convenient. read more

Aloha - people who read Yelp reviews, Her second day on the job never showed in the flawless precision of her craft. The jewel of night, an amazing human, was to my delight the truly unique Christina. I experienced being truely served, service in its most exquisite form - what a privilege witnessing her glow. You have my hightest appreciation. Much love, light, and local blessings. Mahalo Christina. Until next time, Matt read more

We have been visiting Honolulu for 20 years and so glad to have found this fantastic spot! It's a great place for breakfast and cocktails, the Eggs Florentine are excellent and Dwite behind the bar juggles the entire place with speed and humor. We will be back on our next visit! Thanks! read more

Dwite was fantastic. He was funny, efficient, knowledgeable and a great bartender. He suggested the catamaran boat ride which we did and had a blast. We definitely will be back. read more

Food is fantastic Service is great Julia was our server each day and the bartender from Florida were incredibly friendly and attentive and became fast friends. If you are staying in Waikiki, hit The Menehune up for a meal. My wife wants us to return often and I agree. Enjoying ocean views with breakfast added to the tropical ambiance. read more

Decided to try a new place during our staycation. Got there before the crowd and was excited at first but ended up waiting over an hour for our food, which could have been better. No upcharge for the fried rice on the loco moco which was nice but after trying it, it definitely wouldn't have been worth the extra money. Rice portion on all our plates were way too small for us local girls. Food seemed over cooked as well. Although place was nice, server was really friendly, attentive and apologetic for the wait time...but overall the quality of the food was not doing it for me personally. read more
