    This bar is unbeatable. Open air, ocean views, copious seating options, attentive servers, frequent live music. Honestly the perfect resort lobby bar. Keoni was our bartender and we absolutely loved him!!!!

    Off the Lip in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay is a must try! I had to go back our 2nd night to get the clams again and trying to figure out when I'll be back. As you enter the hotel the bar is located to your left. You seat yourself at any table and staff come and take your drink + bites orders. 1st night Patrick took care of us and the 2nd night Pua, both of them are the best! Live music playing from 6pm to 9pm just gives good vibes with ocean views and fire pits.

    Off The Lip, located in the lobby of the Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu's North Shore. You can enjoy a stunning view that truly lives up to Turtle Bay's long-standing reputation. Sunset here is incredibly beautiful and is a must see! The menu offers light bites and cocktails. The steamed clams we ordered, paired with a cold beer, were a perfect match with the glowing sunset. If you're visiting the North Shore, I highly recommend stopping by Off The Lip to experience one of Hawaii's most beautiful sunsets.

    Located in the lobby area at The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay. Fabulous customer service from our Server. Definitely a busy evening. All three appetizers arrived within five minutes. Napkins and water refills were automatically provided. She checked to see if we enjoyed our food from time to time. Local Poke Nachos featured light, crispy wonton chips that held a lot of cubed, fresh ahi drizzled with unagi sauce, topped with spicy mayo, furikake, and tobiko. Truffle Fries tasted light with truffle oil and freshly shaved Parmesan. Chicken Wings with house hot sauce exuded a hint of heat and complemented the ranch sauce. Carrot was very appealing and great for calming taste buds. Casual or resort attire. Would return for cool ambiance.

    Second time here and the service has been top notch. The view is breathtaking, especially towards sunset. Can't say enough about the staff and it's been about a year and a half since last time we were here and the vibes are immaculate. Last time we ordered the cheese plate and that's no longer on the menu so we settled for the crab dip. It comes out in a cute, little skillet with shrimp chips. Perfect for two!

    Great light bites. Had the truffle fries, poke nachos. The poke nachos were awesome. Highly recommend. Location, ambiance and food are fantastic. $$$$ as it's in the Ritz, but one of the few good meals we had in the hotel.

    Always a must whenever we're at turtle bay resort. The view alone is a million dollar view. Great little break grabbing a drink and watching the waves or catching the sunset with the light reflecting along the pool area. Just sitting there and having a cocktail is all worth it. Depending on day, there's live music as well. Plenty of seating along the bar area, the outdoor sofa area as well as indoor seating. Drinks are great and very friendly bartenders. A must....

    View from the bar!

    Service and ambience were great! I definitely recommend seeing the sunset here. Grab a drink and enjoy the view.

    It's located at the lobby area of turtle bay resort and provides stunning view of the resort and ocean. At night the fire is lit on the edge of the water and the atmosphere is super chill. We sat the bar and it also provides full food service. The poke nacho and the clam is very good. It's very relaxing by the bar and staring at the fire.

    Ceviche, truffle parmesan fries, lychee refresher
    Emma G.

    Amazing ambiance sitting on the water's edge as the sun sets, sipping a cold cocktail and munching on some snacks. Literally the largest order of truffle parmesan fries I've ever seen, and they were so good too. The ceviche was delicious as well, but a little pricey for the quantity. Incredible service with the perfect amount of attention! Oh we also got the turtle cheesecake and may be going back again just for that because it was so. Good. Overall we had a great experience and will likely be stopping by again for cocktails/snacks while we're here!

    Okay, we frequent the north shore. We are there about 3 times a year- with that said, we have our go to spots. Out of our normal character, we decided to pop up to Turtle Bay to grab a nice glass of wine. We walked in to Off the Lip, what a great experience. Honestly the bar staff was great, the ambience was absolutely stunning and clean... behind the bar infinity fountain trimmed with a fire rim and the ocean roaring behind it. The ambience was amazing. There was plenty of seating at the bar or intimate dim lit tables with an array of seating selections. It was like a grand lobby with eclectic seating strewn all over with live music to boot- lit up by a giant gorgeous Christmas tree. Aside from tailoring to my finicky wine palette, the bar staff were beyond amusing and entertaining throughout the whole night. I even opted for a port, which was not on their menu, but one of the gentleman ran up to the fine dining restaurant and brought a bottle back to the bar to which the crowd par-took in. All in all it was a pleasure to visit- oh! Ps. The ahi and not to sound basic, but the coconut cake were amazing!

    Came here for a late night, snack and drinks yesterday night. Me and my family were staying at the hotel. The food was really good as were the drinks, but the service was terrible. Our waitress was a white blonde woman who was super rude to my sister and gave our whole family dirty looks. Don't know what was up with that, but that should definitely be fixed.

    Located inside the Turtle Bay Resort. Such a fun atmosphere with live music at dusk... food is great with big portions. Drinks are so good and reasonably priced. The staff is of course wonderful and helpful. All around a fun place with lots of different kinds of seating.

    Really enjoyed the food here. We went before dinner service, so the menu was limited to appetizers,…read morebut honestly, that didn't bother us because everything we ordered was very, very good. The flavors felt much more elevated than I expected from a beachside restaurant. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, and it genuinely felt like there was a real chef working in the kitchen rather than just standard bar food. The service was excellent and very attentive and the indoor-outdoor seating ambience with the ocean across the street was amazing. Even with the limited menu, I would happily come back to try the dinner offerings. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're in Haleiwa and looking for something a little more elevated.

    Skip the poke here! I know, I know, those are fighting words in Hawaii and probably not the opening…read moreyou expected for a four-star review. And it's not to say that I didn't like the poke bowl I had at Beach House. (I mean, what's not to love about about digging into some fresh ahi when you're literally feet away from the beach?) It's just that I had the otherworldly experience of eating from Foodland's poke bar the night prior to my lunch here and I couldn't help comparing it to the legendary Foodland. That said, the poke was still delicious and its runner-up status didn't distract from the rest of my meal. The spicy ahi wonton was a standout starter -- the shallot, scallion, tobiko, and chili aioli approach they have for the ahi here works better for the fish than their "beach house special poke sauce" in my opinion. Top it all off with a plantation iced tea: an island version of the Arnold Palmer that replaces the customary lemonade with tropical pineapple juice. We came in around 2:30 pm so we essentially had the dining room to ourselves after the lunch rush, if you don't count the cute zebra dove bird that walked around below the table halfway into our meal, trying to see if there were any stray crumbs it could peck at. Alas, we had deemed the food too good.

    Good solid experience with nice food and nice ambiance and decent service…read more Caesar salad was good and fresh 9/10. Siamin was maybe my favorite dish, smokey the noodles extra al dente and the pork was flavorful 9.5/10. Pesto Gnocchi was pillowy and soft and the pesto sauce was light and flavorful and was one of the few vegetarian options. I would get again 8/10. Side of broccoli was spicy and zesty 9/10. Cocktails were also very nice way to start. It's a tradition to always hit the minkeypod when in hawaii and will continue. Don't forget the pies! Overall, definitely a touristy vibe but pretty good quality overall.

    Came here while staying at Aulani. We weren't too hungry yet and mainly got appetizers and drinks…read moreduring happy hour. Majority of the appetizers we got were good. - truffle fries..well...their truffle fries and cant really go wrong - taro dumplings (i forgot if thats what we got but they were good but not blown away either) - corn chowder was good - brisket pesto pizza? (Im overdue with the review so forgot what pizza it exactly was) but i remember this was good. It was in the happy hour menu is all i can remember. - wings but unsure about the goat cheese dip. I prefer plain ranch - the kids pasta was good. Well, one kiddo loved it while the other didn't. So it depends on preferences on this one. I will say i did taste it and it was meh... - another kiddo got the shoyu noodles and its plain. So if you got a simple palate plain jane child, they will like this one. For drinks, it depends on taste and preferences. I was bummed on this one. Mainly looking fwd to the drinks and it didn't satisfy my tastebuds. It was too twisted, fusion, modified etc. i prefer a mai tai a plain old fashioned mai tai without the fixings. The orange foam was too strong it overwhelmed the dark rum im used to and prefer. So i decided to try the ube rey instead which was much better but still not as much to my liking/preferences. Went back to Aulani a but bummed and decided to get another at Aulani the next day instead and I will say, i liked it better as it followed the more traditional way of making it. So if you prefer traditional ways, this may not be for you and if planning to drink, simply keep with the simplier generic drinks, wine or beer. If you prefer to try different ways and flavors, then you will love this. Service was great and our server was attentive at all times. Thank you. Ambiance was good but outdoor seating may be a bit of a nuance due to flies swarming around you often. The swinging table fan helps but are still annoying plus the tropical heat also didn't help.
