AC unit
Joe G.

SSAB was amazing as usual, service was good; HOWEVER, THREE+ MONTHS OF NO FUNCTIONAL CENTRAL AC. There is one portable AC unit for the entire south side of the dining room( complete with trip hazard.) I was having to wipe sweat off my forehead at one point. Management: Your employees are suffering as well.

Bianca and Bonnie made my experience amazing! I asked for a Coconut Pineapple Margarita and they exceeded my expectations! They realized they had run out of coconut flakes and brought me some fresh flakes!!!! Kainoa brought out my food fast and promptly and created a whole block of cheese for me!!! I believe a manager named Devin came and asked how the service was and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Ask for Bonnie and Bianca at the bar. They are attentive and funny ladies!

I gotta say the pastas they offer here are pretty good and the all you can eat salad and soup is one of the best deals you can get on the menu! Wanted to try something other than the pasta so I went with the chicken Marsala. I had high hopes for this but unfortunately the gravy that came with the dish was really salty. The lady that was our server was great she was nice and I like how she immediately made things right. She offered to get me a new menu item or asked if I wanted a remake. I declined and just settled for the soup that came with the meal. We also had meatballs, which was delicious!

This is one of the nicer Olive Garden restaurants out there... and maybe the only one in the USA with an ocean view! Food was just as expected (they all taste the same), though I will say this location had really great Al dente pasta which is unusual for Olive Garden. The only downside was that our waitress was not really friendly and it felt like we were inconveniencing her every time we asked for anything.

Olive Garden is my comfort food, so when a friend asked if I wanted to join on her family's dinner plans, I said heck yes. I ordered my usual endless soup and salad and started with the Tuscana. My next soup was the gnocchi. Too bad that was all I was able to have. I finished the Tuscana bowl and then waited a good 20 minutes to get the second soup bowl. By the time I finished that bowl everyone was done eating. Maybe it was the universe saying I'd had enough, but.. I wish that had been my choice.

The service at this Olive Garden was absolutely amazing. Bonnie was our server, and she was incredibly attentive, kind, and on top of everything throughout our visit. Even the manager on shift stopped by to check in, which was a really nice touch and made us feel valued as guests. The food, however, was just okay. My crispy chicken was unfortunately plated underneath the sauce, which made it very soggy. That said, Bonnie immediately offered to bring me a side of crispy chicken without hesitation, and it honestly made a huge difference and saved the dish for me. That level of service really stood out. Overall, the food was mediocre at best this time around, and I also noticed that the kids' portion was noticeably smaller than usual, which was a bit disappointing. Great service truly carried this experience, and because of that, I'd still come back -- just hoping for a little more consistency with the food next time.

I guess you really can't expect much from an "Italian restaurant" chain, but the food was meh. The service, and drinks pretty decent, but the food was as expected. All they really have is butter, unauthentic Alfredo, and marinara sauce. Tell me why I expected to see pesto? I have no clue. Everything is always way too buttery, like a swimming pool worth of butter. Definitely sent me straight to the restroom (which was really nice actually ) I can't expect real Italian food at an Olive Garden, so I won't rate it too horribly. It's like calling Taco Bell Mexican food, you just can't.

Service was excellent - the hosts at the host stand and our server were prompt, professional, and friendly. The food was nothing to brag about but it got the job done, aka we got fed. Noise level outside was loud due to Mai Tais but that was to be expected and it didn't bother us. Enjoyed our meal and dessert. The view of the fireworks, excellent service and cheesecake were the highlights of our evening.

Salad
Rebecca L.

Decided to grab dinner here on a Saturday night and was able to get seated within 15-20min. They let us kill time at the bar and just moved our waters over when we got our table. Service was pretty good overall. They checked in on us and made sure our drinks were refilled. Drinks: Pina Colada and Arnold Palmer Appetizer: calamari Entrees: create your own- bucatini pasta with spicy meat sauce and meatballs with salad Ravioli Carbonara with chicken and dumpling soup Calamari was good well and it had a nice and light and flavorful batter. My boyfriend did a create your own pasta because they had a limited time special of spicy meat sauce which he enjoyed and it definitely had some heat to it. I had the ravioli carbonara which I enjoyed and still had some leftovers. Salad and soup is also unlimited so I got a 2nd serving of the soup which had a light creamy base. They were also doing $8 take home entrees with a purchase of an entree so we both got the ziti to eat on another day. The ziti came out really good after heated and super cheesy! Portions are also pretty large so it's a good deal

They also have a private parking lot, which is always a plus. Service was good, and they offer pizzas in addition to their pasta dishes. I ordered the Linguini Pink Scampi, which was quite tasty. The pasta was generously coated in a rich, creamy pink sauce, with several large shrimp nestled throughout. The dish was hearty and satisfying, although my only complaint was that the shrimp still had their tails attached, which made them a little inconvenient to eat. My spouse ordered the lasagna, which arrived covered in a generous layer of melted cheese and Parmesan. It looked rich and hearty, but he found it a bit too gooey, with what he felt was too much red sauce and cheese. The lasagna noodles were also overcooked, taking away from the overall texture. For dessert, I had the Affogato. The creamy vanilla gelato slowly melting beneath a shot of espresso made for a simple but enjoyable finish to the meal. The contrast between the rich coffee and sweet, cold gelato was quite nice. Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could have been better, but we'd definitely consider coming back again to try some of the other dishes.

There is lots of validated parking, accessible via Kawaiaha'o St ... You just wind your way upward until you find a stall marked "Customer". We were the first patrons of the evening and were seated at the back corner of the restaurant. Cobalt blue glasses, already filled with water, and a carafe were sitting on our table. The menu is accessed via QR code. I ordered a bottle of Barolo ... Our hostess / server brought a 2018 Perla Terra Barolo. It was light bodied, slightly acidic but with sufficient notes of red fruit to make it enjoyable. We ordered the Midollo Osseo, roasted bone marrow topped with pesto and served with toasted sourdough, and Cavoletti di Bruxelles, fried brussels sprouts in brown butter with Italian sausage, topped with dried cranberries, sliced almonds and Parmesan. Both appetizers were delicious! The bone marrow was unctuous and flavorful. The brussels sprouts were good but we boxed half of the order. My tablemate ordered the Risotto Funghi e Tartufo, that featured Porcini and other mushrooms, topped with sauteed foie gras, truffle oil and Parmesan. I chose Rigatoni Bolognese, featuring veal, pork and beef in tomato sauce with Pecorino Romano. The risotto was excellent; my rigatoni was very good, though I wished for a bit more tomato sauce. We boxed a large portion of the risotto. Dessert was a classic Tiramisu, and I had a cup of coffee. La Cucina's tiramisu is what we've been looking for ... one with lady fingers, creamy mascarpone, and an appropriate dusting of cocoa powder. We really enjoyed our meal at La Cucina.

I'm not a huge pasta connoisseur, so I can't really tell you great quality vs. good , but I did enjoy the lobster ravioli, especially since that's something I'm definitely not making myself. I will say the pasta texture was a lot firmer than I expected. Maybe people like it more al dente, but I personally prefer my pasta a little softer. The sauce was really good though--I was scraping up whatever was left on the plate! My friend got the seafood pasta and really enjoyed hers too. The cheesecake was just okay for me. I wish it had a little more flavor, and afterwards I kind of wished we had gotten the tiramisu instead. My only gripe is that they're a little old school when it comes to reservations, so we had to email them. Thankfully my friend handled that for us . Also we pre-ordered food so no issues with it taking too long. Overall, a great place to eat! The bone marrow alone is something I'd come back for.

Got the spicy sauce on the side but something in there was still spicy and that was the first thing Baby got so she didnt' get to enjoy it. We had some other paella and pastas around the table. YUM. One friend said was small but I thought was good portions. Only thing junk...we had a private room. AC was not working. I was hot. The alcohol didn't help but knew it wasn't working even if they turned it on b/c there was a fan. You wouldn't need a fan if the AC was working. 5 peri-menopausal women...sweating.
