I tried their strawberry lemon sour, and it was tropical, fruity, and citrusy with absolutely no bitterness, which I really appreciated. I'm definitely a lightweight, and just after one glass I felt a nice little buzz, just enough to relax without feeling overwhelmed. We enjoyed our drinks out on the patio, and the whole setup made for a great, relaxing break. I'd absolutely come back here to hang out after a long day and would love to try more of their house beers and kombucha next time. A great spot to kick back and enjoy the North Shore vibes

The employee there was so nice and chill, enjoying conversation with each customer. There was branded merchandise for sale too. There is a city bus stop at the sugar mill or If you have a vehicle, the sugar mill has sand parking lots.

One of the best meals we had on the trip! I had never done room service before and we decided that…read morethis would be the most ideal time to do it. Turtle Bay specializes in resort-style vacations, and their menu was way too enticing to pass up. My one qualm was that even though *17% gratuity is automatically included on the bill, as is a $5 delivery charge, there is still a space to add your own tip. It's not immediately noticeable at first, but it's fair. We added an extra bit on the tip because we ordered cocktails as well. We got the catch of the day and the garlic shrimp for our entrees, and creme brûlée and flourless chocolate cake for desserts. As cocktails, I got the Piña Colada, he got a Manhattan. Both were strong and well-made. All of our food was delivered within 45 minutes! It was nice to have everything brought up after a long day of exploring Oahu, but the room service is NOT cheap, as you would expect. Our total bill came out to $170.00 with tip included. It was nice to try it once, but it's not an every day thing lol. I'm really glad we got to try the menu items in bed while we watched a movie, because hiking all day was exhausting!

Understood that can happen, however still questioned the statement. Sat down placed order for drinks and food. This is where I have the problem, each item was brought out one at a time. First the fries (amazing) then asparagus, then 1/2 DZ oysters...but no salmon roll. Waited...waited and waited, no update not even checking in to see how the rest of service/food was. We were overlooked. Caught another server attention and began to speak with her, that's when our server ran up to us. I asked him we waited for almost 30 minutes on a single roll. He ran in the back to "check" on it, but saw him twice taking care of other customers. I finally said give me the bill so I can leave and eat elsewhere. I just wanted some kind of acknowledgement but received none.

I visited Haleiwa Beach House during my recent trip to Hawaii. My family and I were at the beach…read moreall day in the area and were looking for a restaurant that could accommodate our large party (6 adults & 4 kids). We arrived right when the restaurant was opening and were lucky enough to be seated immediately. The parking lot is relatively small, but we lucked out by being there right at opening. I loved the seating area, it is completely open and we were able to enjoy the light breeze and beautiful weather. I ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi which comes with garlic ponzu long beans and lemon caper brown butter sauce (which I requested on the side) and white rice. I am glad I decided to put the sauce on the side because the sauce was really rich and I enjoyed it more as a light dipping sauce versus drenching the plate with it. The Mahi Mahi was delicious and cooked perfectly. The kids menu here is amazing, the kids all loved their choices. I tried some of the Chicken Tenders and it was one of the best I have ever had! The staff here are wonderful! They were so attentive and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The food came out quickly and just as we ordered. I would highly recommend Haleiwa Beach House to anyone craving fresh and delicious food... there is a variety of choices on the menu, everyone in our party was able to pick what they wanted and we all left full and happy :)

We stopped in and were given a table with a positively awesome view of the shore. Our server was very nice, but she regularly forgot to bring us napkins and straws when asked. Otherwise, she was great. Our food came out quite quickly after ordering considering how busy the restaurant was! I ordered the Garlic Shrimp, which was really good. Despite how appetizing it looked, it was not very heavy in flavor-- which is a bit disappointing. The Garlic Shrimp was well cooked and the creamy garlic sauce was nice and palatable, but I wanted more of that signature deep garlic flavor that you crave in garlic shrimp. The grilled lemon was an amazing touch, and that salad with yuzu dressing was absolutely my favorite part. The Yuzu dressing was absolutely to-die for, and I'm certain the salad that came with the plate was even better than the shrimp, which should've been just a bit more flavorful in order to give the dish more impact. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with my experience here, and my family seemed pleased with their own dishes. The restaurant accommodated changes to the meal, which is good if you have family members with other dietary needs. Overall, a solid stop while you're exploring the North Shore!

Felt spoiled with the amazing beachfront views and some of the best food we had all vacation long. Best part, it was all for a fraction of the price compared to what we've been paying at the ritzy or main stream spots. They have drink specials and happy hours! Sooo worth it. The poke nachos and crispy pork coupled with drinks, heaven! Our kids loved the firecracker chicken, mildly spicy but not overwhelming for them. There were so many options we didn't get to try, which means we will be back soon! We enjoyed the music and the sounds of the waves. Kids even played by the water while we finished our cocktails from the deck. It's exactly what we envisioned our vacation to be! So, if you could skip the over priced ritzy places that end up subpar, I would and come here. It's off the beaten path a little and tucked away on a small street, but worth the visit. We often visit Ko Olina side of Oahu and can honestly say we found our affordable go-to! Also left with some of their swag to represent because the aloha love was thee best!

We ate here our first night of the trip and had an amazing time. I wish I remembered our bartenders name but she was amazing and such a good vibe. We first went to monkeypod while in Maui, and I fell in love with their jalapeno mashed potatoes so I knew I had to get an order of that, and it was good as I remembered! Other things we ate that we enjoyed were the cast iron shrimp. Great flavor, the only problem is that it comes with like 4-5 shrimp, and they aren't large shrimp. Wish this dish came with more shrimp. The cheeseburger was good but not great. If you are craving a burger, this one definitely will satisfy that craving though. The catch of the day tacos were surprisingly good. The bulgogi tacos were solid but I'd opt for the fresh fish tacos instead. For dessert we tried their banana cream pie since it was popular. This one I didn't get the hype though, just an average piece of banana cream pie. For drinks, the mai tai is definitely the way to go. That lilikoi foam, so darn good! We definitely threw back a couple of these and enjoyed every sip. Overall, considering there aren't a ton of options in the area, this spot is great if you are looking to satisfy multiple different cravings. The live music at nights really elevates the experience and whoever was singing that day was amazing. Would I go again? definitely!

From the moment we…read morearrived, the lively atmosphere and live music created an inviting and relaxed island dining experience. The standout dish of the evening was undoubtedly the lobster deviled eggs -- a creative and indulgent twist on a classic appetizer. The richness of the lobster paired beautifully with the creamy filling, and it completely convinced me that lobster absolutely belongs atop deviled eggs. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the thoughtful and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond in making our table feel welcomed, especially by checking in on our little one and kindly offering complimentary buttery noodles, which was such a warm and appreciated gesture. Between the flavorful cocktails, well-executed dishes, and exceptional hospitality, the entire evening was a delight from start to finish. I would gladly return on my next visit to the island.

They do have a large parking lot. They don't do reservations. But this is less of a problem here then other places. We were not lucky with the weather, if it was good, the ground are beautiful gardens. They do have one of the best waiting areas I've ever seen, as well as a bar area, to wait in, so you are not hovering over others as they eat. You can also order drinks and apps in the area. Their mango margarita was standout, "it tastes just like a mango!" The restaurant appears to be arranged so that most tables have some of a view of their open patio. Even with the rain, it was lovely, and they lit touches as it grew dark. The menu is the right size, I think a more focused menu lends to better food. We had difficulty deciding as everything sounded great. We started with their poke, very good, and nicely presented. I had the grilled fish, which was great, and my friends had two very different steaks. One got the prime rib, and it was on theme for our dinosaur tour at the ranch. It arrived as big as her head, all three of us could have enjoyed it. Great experience and I hope to return without the side of rain.

We did a walk-in and the wait was a little over an hour, which sucked, but it wasn't as bad since we sat in the lounge area, ordered apps, and our server there was super nice and attentive. Once we got seated, our server was kind, just a bit quiet/reserved. Only got talkative when he as trying to upsell the dessert. The food though... very mid. I asked for medium rare and got a steak that was clearly undercooked--cold in the center and no flavor at all. We had waited so long I figured I'd just take it back to my room and cook it more myself. I literally had to dip it into my husband's chicken plate sauce just to get some taste. For apps, we got the spicy poke, ceviche, and garlic bread. The "spicy" poke wasn't spicy, and the ceviche had basically no flavor. Garlic bread was okay, and the house bread was warm and soft, but everything else just felt really underwhelming. I didn't even wanna bother order dessert because I couldn't take being disappointed again. Nothing was nasty, just no flavor AT ALL and nothing stood out. You're mostly paying for the view. It's cute, but unless you make a reservation and go just for that, I'd save your time and money. Don't be like me and spend almost 200$ for food with no flavor.
