    Bee Sting pizza - good!
    Katherine A.

    The Outrigger is a private club. Our family has a membership so we can use the facilities, including the dining room. The meals are consistently good and the service is impeccable. I look forward to the oceanside seating and watching the sunsets with family. My granddaughter likes to play in the sand or visit the beach. Dinner, last Friday, was fabulous. Reservations are generally necessary most nights. We arrived early to take advantage of Happy Hour. We always order truffle fries to share. My daughter and I split a Bee Sting pizza. The pizza has local honey drizzled on top of pepperoni. A little decadent, indeed. My son-in-law has a poke bowl, which he engineers like a salad. The drinks keep coming. We also share zucchini fries in the name of healthy. The fries are crunchy and the zucchini melts in your mouth. We save room for dessert, which is always a treat. I had a bowl of their lilikoi ice cream, which was phenomenal. My daughter had a carrot cake loaf which takes 20 minutes to prepare and is totally shareable. We take a break from dinner to take pictures of the spectacular sunset. On Fridays, you can even watch fireworks over Honolulu from your table. Kelly, our server, was attentive, fun and provided downright fabulous aloha service. All the service folks are friendly and attentive, but I will request Kelly when possible. The Club offers workout facilities with showers. My kids have participated on the rowing team, which is a foundational activity of the Club. As for me, I like watching the canoes glide across the water. The Club offers special seasonal events. A small parking garage is available for parking. The facilities are handicapped and stroller friendly.

    Food was awesome. It was raining and Brother Kenny. The waiter took care of us. Even June the manager offered to move us out of the rain what awesome service. If you ever want people who care and offer awesome service come to KANIKAPILA Grill. Service is awesome. Parking is great family, friendly, Ohana atmosphere.

    Private function. Service was good and food and company was good. Highlight for me was the two seals on the beach. Arrived 3 hrs before I saw them. A 7 year old and 8 year old. Both male. They were sun bathing so not much movement. Great treat to watch.

    I was in invited to a work dinner event at the Outrigger Canoe Club. We were treated to a buffet style dinner in one of their private rooms. The menu consisted of a couple of appetizers that we got to choose from: seafood, spring rolls, goat cheese toast, edamame, and coconut shrimp. The main course consisted of salad, mediterranean cous cous salad, rolls, rice, roasted vegetables, grilled lemongrass chicken, braised short ribs, lemon caper mahi-mahi. There were also two small dessert items that were up titled chefs choice canapé duo. One was the chocolate mousse cup, and the other was a Lilikoi tart. I really enjoyed the buffet style dinner because it gave everybody the option to eat as much of the items they liked plus there were leftovers that we were able to take home. My favorite was the Mediterranean couscous salad because it paired really nicely with their celery seed dressing. The chicken was perfectly moist and flavorful, but it reminded me of a shoyu chicken. I heard the slow braised short ribs were very tender. However, I think the mahi-mahi was a little overdone. Dessert was perfect because you were able to choose which one you liked and then you can also take multiple if you liked one more than the other. The view was perfect from the private room. We had a reservation scheduled for 6 PM and we just missed the sunset in November. But I expect maybe other times of the year, you can catch the sun setting into the ocean.

    Sometimes you just need to relax and remember how lucky you are to live in Hawaii! Pau Hana Friday is so relaxing enjoying Happy Hour at Outrigger Canoe Club for some delicious local dishes along with some refreshing "pretty drinks"! Our favorite is the fresh Mahi plate! It never disappoints! Truffle fries is a must! Served hot and fresh, a favorite among our mainland friends! You can't go wrong with ordering the poke and calamari. The pizzas, salads and soups are all pretty good too! The menu offers a nice selection to please locals as well as guests visiting from out-of-town! Excellent service every-time! ! If you enjoying dinner around 8PM, sit outside to enjoy the Hilton Hotel fireworks on Friday night! Cheers!

    We had an amazing work event dinner here. The service was THE best especially whenever I wanted a soft drink...mahalo! The selection of food on the buffet was very good and I loved that they marked what was gluten free...Mahalo again! The space and accommodations were perfect for our group size and what an amazing treat to be able to check out this private club.

    Food was moderate in taste and price. The draw is more of a private ambiance and open ocean front dinning experience. We had fun. My salmon could have used more strawberry salsa. Manager note: photos can not include other patrons of the space for privacy reasons

    Stunning sunsets.

    We never miss the opportunity to enjoy dinner on the lanai. We have reciprocal privileges through the Hilo Yacht Club and truly appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the club. The team is so kind and welcoming. The food consistent and quite enjoyable.

    You need to be a member so I was lucky enough to be invited for a club luncheon! There was 14 of us so we had a nice long rectangular table in a private room off to the side! So breezy, airy and spacious! Who needs air conditioning when you have the cool trade wind breezes! It such a beautiful setting with just footsteps.to the beach! Amazing views with amazing staff! Our server, Josh, is very nice, friendly, and prompt! With 14 of us, he patiently took our orders correctly and efficiently! Kudos to Josh! The Menu has a variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pizza and desserts! I had the soft shell crab blt with.thin crispy French fries! I love soft shell crab so when it's on a menu, it's a Must! The soft shell crab is covered with cornmeal which is a little heavy so a little over done but I still liked it with the bacon! It was delicious, came with a dill pickle to top it off! Also, I had dessert! A coffee ice cream mud pie with nuts sprinkled around the plate! I love coffee ice cream so so delicious! The chocolate cookie crust was too hard to break off but was glad the nuts were not on or in the pie cause not a fan of nuts! Perfect luncheon with delicious foods and amazing setting! Hope to be invited back!!

    Breaded Mahi-mahi was ok.

    Great service and beautiful sunset views. Location is practically on the beach. Appetizers were excellent. Garlic fries, calamari and coconut shrimp. Dinner options were ok.

    Dined here many times and I've always had the same order. The Mahi Mahi and Grasshopper Pie. (with real grasshoppers - IYKYK) Staff here is simply amazing and the views of Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean never get old.

    We were invited to lunch by a long time member. We arrived on time for our reservations and were promptly seated at a wonderful table with epic views. The waiter was very good and I would venture a guess that he was at our table as our butts hit the seats bringing us water. He took a drink order as we looked at the menu. Generous pours on the drinks, very good and very tasty. We ordered crunchy coconut shrimp and calamari for appetizers. Both dishes were served piping hot, each in and of its own, was delicious. For lunch I had a burger and as did one of my other colleagues, the other 2 went with Cobb salad. Everybody's food was impressive from the delivery, looking scrumptious and begging to be eaten. My burger was awesome, I love burgers and I put this one up in the 3, juicy, seasoned well, and cooked to perfection. We all loved every minute of our dining experience and would be stoked to do it again.

    How much does it cost to become a member? I've looked all over the website. If you don't know a member, can you still get a week pass to try it out?

    You can get a guest pass if you are introduced by a member (email is good). Also, if you belong to a reciprocal club, you can get a pass. Passes are typically good for 2 days or one week. I have never gotten a pass for more than 1 week.

    My recent visit to the Honolulu Elks Lodge 616 was unacceptable and far below the standards I have…read morecome to expect as a member of the Kailua lodge. Upon arrival, I mistakenly presented the wrong membership card. The front desk attendant responded by reprimanding me loudly and publicly, accusing me of attempting to use an invalid card rather than offering any assistance or basic courtesy. I was sent to membership services, where no effort was made to verify my status or provide a reasonable solution--only an instruction to leave and return with a different card. The lack of a simple verification process is concerning in itself. While addressing this issue, I witnessed another guest--a man accompanied by his wife and young daughter--being similarly embarrassed at the front desk for the same reason. This suggests a broader issue with how guests are treated, not an isolated lapse in judgment. Although another staff member eventually offered a practical solution that allowed me to verify my membership, the experience up to that point was unnecessarily hostile and unprofessional. Unfortunately, the restaurant service was no better. An older male server with a visible limp ignored direct questions and, when approached a second time, responded abruptly and rudely, telling me to "wait" in an aggressive tone. This behavior was entirely inappropriate. Additionally, an older woman seated nearby felt entitled to get up from her table and interrupt me as I am placing my food order by loudly demanding attention from staff in a disruptive and discourteous manner, further contributing to an uncomfortable and chaotic environment. While one server later attempted to recover the situation with professionalism, the overall experience was marked by hostility, poor communication, and a clear lack of respect toward guests. And the food was not good. For $18 tuna sandwich and lobster bisque I expected more than just a 711 type of meal. I'm beyond disappointed- the only good thing was the view of the ocean and sun was out yesterday. This visit did not reflect the values of courtesy, respect, and fellowship that the Elks organization is meant to uphold. Significant improvements in staff conduct and guest relations are clearly needed.

    808 sports league is a great opportunity for coed sports while socializing with different people…read moreyou haven't met and making new friends. My co-worker invited me to join this league which I paid $70 (early registration per person - it can be $80/person) for Fall 2017 coed volleyball. In Spring 2018 coed volleyball was $800/team for early registration. We had close to 9 people or so which everyone was okay paying. $87/person. Created our own team after we made friends with people and recruited more. Based on only knowing my coworker, they randomly put together my team of 13 people. Through this process, you can make friends from your team as well as from the other teams. I don't know how they decide placement of people, but I actually made friends (at least 7 people) with two opposing teams when we go to the bars after the games. Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 coed volleyball was sponsor by Champs (Sports bar) and Rock Bottom with other beer company (Pacifico and Corona) as these places give us discounts on those beers. I like Champs (Sports bar better) since they have more games and really good food. They always alternate each week of where the post-games are at. The regular season each in fall and spring had two "themes" and my team chose Power Rangers for "hero week" and "America" for "team week" A great way for people to be creative with their "theme" custome. Some teams will dress up prior to match and play in uniform or gym clothes We all got a shirt and each team is represented by a color of the same shirt. Wear your shirts if you want to get the sportsmanship score. It can be used as a tie breaker They allow selfies and the winner gets a $100 tab at a bar based on most people in the selfie, which my team only had maybe 4-5 at one bar and the rest is just 2 (my coworker and me), which we sometimes do selfies or photos with other teams. I wouldn't mind joining other sports this league offers such as: kickball, flag football and dodgeball. 2017 is their 10-year anniversary which our shirt from volleyball mentions. 2018 they went back to the style they used in past of what sport you're playing and what season and year on it. At least this league has some friendly people and some competitive, but it's mostly about having fun and meeting new people and socializing. They have playoffs which half the teams qualify for and if you win, money is donated to a local charity that the winner decides.

And after all those years, talking about 808 Sports Leagues and the kickball (and other sports) leagues they put together has never gotten old, especially trying to explain to tripped-out bar-goers on a Monday or Wednesday evening in Varsity or Rock Bottom why there are over 100 people walking around in off-beat, fluorescent or downright bright shirts ... Stranger/Future Kickballer: "So ... kickball?" Me: Yes! There's a league. And I'm on a team. S/FK: "I haven't played kickball since elementary school!" M: .... (Don't worry, we know every one hasn't. :) ) S/FK: (looks out over the sea of forest green, "WOW" pink and KOC blue shirts, among the many colors) "So, how many people are playing in this league?" M: Well, there's 24 teams, about 15-20 people per team, so you're looking at about 400+ adults playing kickball weekly. S/FK: "That's a lot of people. So, you guys have rules and everything? The red rubber ball?" M: Yup. Pretty much the same as schoolyard rules, except no one gets picked last, nah mean? And we even got playoffs and championships! S/FK: (looks around at the bar again, tries counting how many different color shirts) "So, you guys play, and then come out to the bar?" M: Yeah - it's all part of the experience. 20, 30, 40-somethings playing kickball, then chilling out at the bar. S/FK: "I'm sold. Where do I sign up?" ... Unfortunately, by the time we hit the bar in our red/green/blue/pink/orange/yellow/safety green shirts, rosters are closed for the season and you gotta wait to sign up for the next one. Sound fun yet? NO?! Well, read Justin U.'s review. "Great way to meet new people" is like the unofficial motto. Hey - relationships have been started and blossomed over the game of kickball - when's the last time that happened at a pick-up game of basketball? Kickball season runs from March to June, with sign-ups in January-February - don't be *THAT* guy that sees all the 808 Sports Leagues bright shirts and wants in after the ruckus starts! (And if you happen to miss it, there's usually a Fall season of some sport - Flag Football, another Kickball season or .... dodgeball?) SEE YOU OUT ON THAT KICKBALL FIELD!

The beautiful and large, open-air bar/restaurant is located on the second floor of the Waikiki Grand Hotel and has a nice, relaxed feel. There are tables by the open side of the lounge where you can watch the action in Waikiki below. Hula's is much more commercial than the other gay bars I visited in Honolulu, as the servers wore name tags and they had an extensive food menu. The decor was a little kitschy, too, but I loved it! I only came for a drink, though, which was a Blue Hawaiian (of course!), and it was delicious. The place wasn't too crowded while I was there, though it started to pick up a bit right when I was about to leave. There was a live singer performing local music, which was thoroughly enjoyable and the servers were friendly and attentive, too. I'll bet this is a really great place to hang out when it's got a drag show or a deejay going on. I'll definitely have to check this place out more the next time I'm in Honolulu. Five stars for atmosphere and potential!

If you are guy who loves to help and be part of something, then maybe it's time you come down and ask about it :)

    A wonderful volunteer organization!…read more Check the website because each day of the week they typically are routine with the location and time frames for cleanups. It isn't only cleanups, they handle restoration and land management by preservation, teaching, and so much more. Kimeona and his team are well versed and well organized in what they are doing. They have equipment so when you arrive, after you fill out the documents online, you are ready to go. Of course prepare by getting a good meal in you, staying hydrated, bring water (they also supply water but bring your reusable water bottle), comfortable clothes and shoes, and be prepared to "give back"! I love learning history and culture and the oli and taking care of the Aina. I don't want to give away too much, but at the same time I want to share everything. I have been volunteering with this team, mostly at the same place, although I met up at Magic Island and it needed, for a couple of years. My takeaways, it's personal for me.

    I was reminded that "people" were the last thing that came to the islands. That means everything…read moreneeds to be respected. When people come visit Hawaii, they think about the beaches, food, partying, etc... People don't think about the impact it has on the ecology. We decided to pay our respect to the land that we enjoyed by helping clean it. This organization was more about teaching what is around us versus just picking up garbage. We first removed evasive trees along the river. The cool thing was that we moved the branches to a different area that feeds certain Beatles. Then months after the tress/branches were stepped on and crushed to be part of the earth. After about an hour and half of work we took a little environmental tour to learn of the necessary ecological balance needed for the islands. We saw the last type of a certain succulent, we saw endangered shrubs, and Hawaiian bees that are also endangered. We go to Hawaii and take, this time we gave back

    So much love, appreciation, and gratitude for this space, people, and the creative energy. My very…read morefirst class is coming to an end and I am currently reflecting on my experience here. I was motivated to take a pottery class this summer after feeling a bit uninspired from a grueling school year on the mainland. Creating art is an awesome form of stress relief and such a great way to challenge yourself. As a first time student, it can be very challenging to get into a class at HPG. You submit an application and must be picked from a lottery. Look on their website for detailed instructions on how and when to submit your application. Submit your papers at the studio and on-time! There are no exceptions for late applications. I was lucky enough to get into a Monday evening class on the wheel. Classes are 3 hours long and our instructor was great. Every week we went over a new style, technique, or concept. Also, the classes are for all levels of potters. There were people who had never thrown clay before to people who have been doing this for years. Students have access to the guild during the week to come in and work on their projects as well! Clay is purchased from the guild and tools are also available for purchase. Everyone in the studio is extremely helpful and very willing to teach. Over this summer I've learned so much from not only my teacher, but also my peers. The community of artists at the Hawaii Potter's Guild is truly a unique group that cultivates a love and passion for creating. This is definitely not a goodbye HPG, but a see you soon.

    A volunteer-run, non-profit organization committed to educating the public on the ceramic arts…read more This cozy little pottery guild is tucked away on Bingham Street near the church. I sped by this place for years and finally discovered them one day participating at the Empty Bowls fundraiser. Classes generally take place quarterly, but you've got to keep an eye on them--they fill up fast! I am currently taking the beginner level throwing class. The instructor, Gerald Toyama, is patient and always there to help his students. He shares his tips and tricks and is great at providing alternative methods to achieve the same effect. The members of the guild are very friendly and supportive. So far, I've really enjoyed my experience at this guild and am looking forward to taking many more classes with them.
