Wagu burger.
Joanne J.

The upstairs view is phenomenal. A perfect place to watch the ocean and people from above. The fish tacos were amazing. The wavy burger was pretty damn good too. This is the second time visiting. We would definitely come back.

Ohh bae
Facundo B.

I sat at the bar area to grab a couple of drinks and was greeting by a very nice woman who proceeded to help me with my drink. I had mentioned that I never tried Hawaiian whiskey and she offered me a shot to taste it which was incredible!! Absolutely made me move forward with ordering the drink I got which was the Ohh Bae and my god was it good!! Next time I think I'll be getting an extra shot or two in it but otherwise delicious and looked cool too!

Drinks with a view

Standard Hotel. Nothing great except the view over Waikiki Beach. The tortilla chips and salsa were actually pretty good (I had them by the pool), but when the chips were used in the Nachos (with cheese, salsa, etc.) they didn't hold up. Drinks were okay - not weak but pretty generic. They do know how to cook an Impossible Burger!

Crappy poor bowl with black avocados. Yuck.  Super sugary drink too.  Not worth it on either item.
Anjali H.

This place is meh at best. The poke was not great -- they served me avocados that were both hard and blackened -- somehow both unripe and too ripe at the same time. Yuck! Inedible. The actual ahi poke in the bowl was ok but the bowl is $24 and didn't feel worth it at all. The lychee drink was too sweet and yet also bitter. Tasted like college jungle juice. If you just wanna drink poolside this place is fine. Decent service at the bar but not at the tables. But if you want a nice meal and drink, venture elsewhere.

Sunset in Waikiki
Mark S.

Boy, where do I start? Service was about as slow and inattentive as possible. It took ten minutes to get the two glasses of wine we ordered which came in plastic cups. The food was awful. My fish and chips were as bland as I've ever had. The fried rice with it was as greasy as you can possibly make. My wife's fish tacos were sloppily placed so it was almost impossible to pick up. The only reason I didn't give it a one star is the ambiance based on the sunset we saw from the deck of the restaurant. Last place I'd go for dinner.

The menu wasn't very appealing. We walked into the hotel looking for the sushi that was advertised on the side of the building. We were told it was no longer there, and I had a starving teen, so we just ate there. The view was good, as it is right across the street from the beach. The food was mid. For the price there are better places to eat. Being a tourist is tough sometimes because you have to find something in walking distance from where you are staying.

Our server, Ryan, thinks he's a bad ass taking orders without writing them down. With that, of course, comes with forgetting to put people's orders in. So everyone in my party got and finished their food before the waiter comes and checks on us - at which time I tell him that I still haven't received my food. Then he goes to the kitchen and comes back with some lame story that he tripped and dropped my burger...so they are making a new one. Wtf...don't lie to me. I should mention, the waiter doesn't even bring food out - there is a person delivering the food in a warming cart, so it's pretty clear that my order never made it to the kitchen. Ok, as far as the food and drinks go - just ok - nothing special. $15 cocktails served in small plastic cups. The view is great. Needless to say, the service is atrocious!

Fish Burger
Antonio H.

Queensbreaks was a quick lunch stop for my girlfriend and I. We were able to be seated pretty fast. The food was more on the bland side. The service was also pretty mediocre. Something I observed was there were also a lot of flies in the restaurant which wasn't very pleasant.

Menu
Whit D.

This is a good place to hangout at in the evenings- live music; fire pits going ; able to order food and drinks. We got to witness a proposal here the other night ; which was pretty cool. We ordered the pork tacos - they were piled high with meat; and had good flavor. They were one of our favorite pork items we have had here so far. If you stay at the hotel you can just charge your room if they have your card on file.

Pina colada
Liz P.

Stopped in by for dinner about a month ago with family during our vacation. We had a party of 9. They were able to seat us not waiting that long. It was a somewhat busy night, service was a bit slow that evening, but staff was very nice and helpful when they got to us though. Thanks to our server. I had a lobster roll with a pina colada. The lobster roll was flavorful and delicious. They pina colada was refreshing after a hot day.

Pina colada with dark rum float
James C.

Some of the best food we had in Waikiki, and we ate it half naked! We tried the fish tacos, nachoes with pulled pork, beef dip and of course many drinks. The fish tacos were amazing, locally caught marlin, great tortillas and fresh salsa. The beef dip is one of the best I've had anywhere, not just in Honalulu but anywhere. The beef wasn't soggy, it has a little crisp to it and the mayo ratio was perfect. The nachos were also great but you have to order them with the pulled pork, so tender and flavorful because they take it from last night's luau! Service was mostly great but when it gets busy sometimes it's hard to find a server so come early. If you get Ken your in for a treat, not only does he know all the best food in town but he is fast and friendly. And lay but not least the atmosphere... I don't even need to say anything because this place is paradise.

Nachos with kalua pork
Gina A.

First and foremost, the Queensbreak sits right above waikiki beach. It's amazing. Lunch or dinner both were great. The nachos with Kalua pork were so tasty. The 12 hour roast prime rib practically melted in the mouth. The menu is limited, but I haven't ordered anything that wasn't an A plus.

Yash T.

TLDR : Amazing ambiance with possibly the best unobstructed views of the ocean. They have live music in the evening and definitely makes it a good spot for catching Sunsets! We stayed at the Marriott so this was a good option to chill and enjoy the sunset over a couple of drinks. The food was not the best but the drinks were nice and strong! Only issue they served the drinks in plastic glasses and being in a restaurant of that scale I'd really expect them to do better in that regard.

I love finding places that feel like a hidden discovery, and the speakeasy inside Vintage Books…read moreHawaiʻi is exactly that. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, intimate, and welcoming. There's something special about enjoying a thoughtfully crafted cocktail surrounded by books, vintage décor, and a neighborhood vibe that feels completely different from the typical bar scene. Everyone from the host to the servers, treat you like you are a VIP... What I appreciated most was how relaxed everything felt. It wasn't overly crowded or loud, making it easy to have a conversation and actually enjoy the experience. The cocktails were well-balanced, creative, and clearly made with care. This is the kind of place that's perfect for a date night, catching up with friends, or simply unwinding after a long week. It feels like one of those hidden gems that locals hope stays under the radar, but is too good not to share. If you're looking for something unique and a little different from the usual nightlife options, I highly recommend checking it out. I'll definitely be back.

I was a little surprised when I entered, it's very cute and it looks like a book shop. The hostess walked us through into the hidden bar and then into the hidden restaurant. The ambiance is very vintage LOL. We ordered a bunch of items off the menu because we observed the food coming out for other tables and the portions looked small. And honestly, they are small for the price you pay. They all tasted amazing, but it didn't blow me away enough for me to say I'd go back for the brunch. The service was also subpar because they barely checked in on us and we had to wait the longest time to get a water refill. I may go back to try the dinner and maybe the drinks and hopefully it will be better.

Months before my trip to Oahu, I tried to book a reservation to Bar Leather Apron but was unable to…read moredo so because the reservations were immediately scooped up right as they were released. To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.

Tucked on the second floor of a Piikoi Parkway building, it feels like stepping back in time, a true bespoke bar with vintage art, moody lighting, and comfy couches that make it perfect for couples or a night out with friends. We sat at the bar, which was a highlight, Michael and Tony were welcoming, easy to talk story with, and clearly know their craft. I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way. Prices are on point for the quality and experience you're getting. It's a bit of a hidden, hip spot, not for a quick drink but for when you want to sit, relax, and enjoy it. Parking is tight, but you can park at Ala Moana and walk over, and it's worth it. Next time we're coming back for Grandma's Old Fashioned and the pork belly bao buns.

We started our vacation with dinner at the Hideout, and upon entering you could immediately hear live music. We received a warm welcome, and brought over to our booth where our server Kai was quick to greet us. We ordered cocktails (I don't remember the name of mine. It's something spritz, and my husband tried the banana bread old fashioned) and we shared the appetizer platter (brussel sprouts with pork belly, kalua pork egg rolls, poke tacos, and edamame)to share. We also ordered the garlic shrimp dumplings. Everything was super tasty. Lots of other items on the menu that I want to try during another visit to the island.

Stressful from the start…read more I called to inquire about parking a week prior to my rsv and was told they were sold out for the night. I mentioned that it was just a general question and i wasn't coming that night. They informed me that it's validated for two hours and it's first come first serve. After the 2 hours its $14 an hour. Getting into the valet area was stressful enough as there was a car parked right before you turn and pedestrians that walk back and forth from their main driveway entrance. I also had to wait for valet for a bit too as there was 2 other cars in front of me and probably only 2 valet on duty trying to move cars forward. Reservations can be made on open table, but there was really no point to doing that since it's open seating during happy hour times. We ended up just picking a table that was in the shade, and noticed they only have their menu by QR code which is kinda annoying. The server was pretty nice tho and he brought my dog some water mid way. Their happy hour runs from 2-6 and the menu is slightly less expensive. The food was kind of standard hotel type of food and nothing really stood out. Otherwise the vibes at the restaurant was nice and i do like that they allow dogs to join you. it seems like they have live music after a certain time. I was even more annoyed and stressed with the valet when i went to pick up my car. They literally just handed me my keys. My car was parked along the wall probably 20 steps away, but they could have at least taken out my car cause it was so hard to get out, but i guess it's nice they trust that i wont bang the car in front of back of me i guess even tho im a pretty terrible parker. at the time they didn't look as busy as when i first arrived, so i dont know why they couldn't have just done the bare minimum with just pulling out my car from the stall.
