Wow. Five stars from top to bottom at SHOR. 3 of us enjoyed a beautiful fresh, outdoor dinner at SHOR overlooking the sunset last night for their prefix dinner menu. Ambiance was beautiful! Nice and quiet, unobstructed ocean and sunset views, as you are right across the street from the water. My daughter had the kids cheeseburger, which she scarfed down happily within a minute flat. Now for the adult prefix menu-- which she excitedly helped consume as well. Before we started our feast, we had the choice of a complimentary beer, red or white wine. We both went with white wine. First course-- shoyu ahi poke with taro chips. The fish was a huge portion and tasted so fresh. The chips were perfection. If you haven't eaten taro chips-- you're missing out. Second course-- Massive slab of prime rib with horseradish and au jus and a large side of thick mashed potatoes. The meat was so juicy and tender and the potatoes melt in your mouth. Huge servings for an insane deal! Third course-- dessert. We aren't huge tiramisu fans, so we opted for the Il Gelato ice cream/ sorbet. We love Il Gelato and frequent their location in kahala mall. We got one mango and one coconut sorbet. It was just wonderful and I loved that there was this dairy free option. Hands down- best ambiance, best service, best meal I have had all year. read more

This is a second time I have been here, the first for the buffet and yesterday for dinner. I really like the quality of the food at the Hyatt, back to when there was a nice steakhouse back in the 90s or 2000s that I enjoyed. Gone is the buffet and the fresh, small pans of endless food. It has been replaced by an a la carte menu that is just as good. I ordered the chicken tortellini on the advice of a coworker. It was fresh and the sauce wasn't overpowering. Just enough creme sauce to add flavor. The chicken was tender and tasty. My friend ordered a Kahuku shrimp flatbread which he thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely be back. For all the locals, there's a kama'aina discount but come early as, I found out...no valet parking. read more

Breakfast was cold every single morning. We eventually stopped going because there are so many better options. Dinner is okay, but like I said, there's a lot better on the Island. read more

SHOR - Tiny pastries and melon that isn't quite ripe. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This was the best meal we had during our 10 day vacation. The atmosphere is wonderful- outside and a view overlooking the beach. We ordered the coconut ship, the swordfish over veggies with some sort of lemon creme reduction (picture below), chicken tortellini, the spicy ahi poke, the pork panini and the tiramisu. All of it was amazing. The server/service was fabulous and attentive. ( I can't recall his name but he was from Germany). The price was relatively reasonable. The quality of the food was worth it. (We paid $30 less at IHOP for breakfast. ). There was a gentleman singling and playing popular songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s on his guitar. He was so good and made the experience that much better. I highly recommend Shor. read more

Wasn't impressed with the breakfast buffet. About 70 bucks for two people?!! I ate like 15 dollars worth, more like ten dollars worth. The cakey bread was alittle stale. The sausage was a bit hard. I didn't even finish my miso soup. It was a bit salty. Ask to sit inside to avoid the birds. A pidgeon did stroll past our table inside. read more

Came here for birthday dinner, excellent service, very tasty food, you can't beat the view and the weather.

We were celebrating a birthday over the weekend and the staff there could not have been more accommodating and hospitable! We were seated in a private enclave. Lucas, the manager, personally came by to wish the birthday girl, a "Happy Birthday!" - such a wonderful gesture that made our special gathering more memorable. Not to mention the food was Fantastic! We ordered the steamed Manila clams, crispy chicken wings, seafood bucatini, and pulehu prime steak. The Manila clams were very fresh and tasty. The wings were very crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside! The pesto olive oil sauce made seafood in the bucatini so delicious! All the dishes were generously portioned! Lastly, if you want a good NY steak, the pulehu steak is on point! The steaks were all cooked to perfection and paired very well with the asparagus and garlic truffle fries! Our table toasted with fruity blended drinks - YUM We look forward to our next visit we would certainly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a enjoyable dining experience and great food! Bravo, SHOR! read more

Reservation was very easy to make. The Staff was very friendly. We got a nice table with a beach view. The Atmosphere was very chill. Note if you make reservations for 5-7pm the sun really hits you. Unless you get indoor seating of course. Our food was very tasteful! We did have to wait a while for our tab. I had to get a host attention. But beside all of that I would make reservations here again and try other items on their menu. read more

SHOR is located on the 3rd floor of the Hyatt, directly across from the beach. At first we had a little trouble finding the way up to the third floor as silly as that sounds. For some reason we could not locate the elevators or escalators in the area so we ended up walking around until we could find them. When we finally found the restaurant the two female hostesses kindly greeted us. Our waiter for the night was Nathan and he was very kind and I felt he did a good job serving us. To start off the night we both ordered drinks. I ordered the Hana Passion Drink, which tasted amazing because it was so hot that day that a nice icy drink sure hit the spot. My friend who was with me went simple and just ordered a Heineken. We ended up ordering FOUR appetizers. 0____0 Yeah it was a lot of food. The first appetizer was the Seafood Tower. This came in three parts. First part was the tower, which contained lobster, oysters, mussels, shrimp and king crab. The second part was the scallops. The final part consisted of three different dishes, which had poke, crab salad and a squid salad. I thought this dish was ok. I think my favorite of the tower was the oysters. Even though they were super small for oysters, they tasted amazing. The rest of the seafood presented was okay, but didn't seem fresh enough for a seafood restaurant. The second appetizer we ate was the SHOR Chowder. The chowder consisted of seafood, corn, bacon and potatoes. They even brought us crackers for the chowder, which was amazing. I think this was my favorite dish that came out. I personally love chowder so this really hit the spot for me. The third appetizer was the fried calamari. This dish was good. I mean its really hard to mess up calamari in my opinion. The fourth appetizer was the baby back ribs. I liked the flavor of the ribs they served. I believe it was a guava glaze sauce. For our entrees I ordered the Pan seared fish of the day and Kauai Shrimp and my friend ordered the Rib Eye Steak. The fish of the day was {Ahi). It tasted really good. The flavors went really nicely all together. As for my friends dinner he ordered it to be medium rare, but it came out to be medium well. Finally we ordered the Chocolate Hazelnut Haupia for dessert. It was really good, sweet and rich. But honestly I could not seem to taste any haupia in it. The overall experience of the restaurant was okay. Service was great in my opinion. It was just the food that was unsatisfactory to me. Honestly overall it was decent. But what I mean is, when I go to a restaurant that specializes in mostly seafood; I expect higher quality or at least fresher seafood. I mean come on, your poke wasn't even fresh it was already that brown color that it turns when its been sitting or isn't completely fresh. I know sometimes this isn't the restaurant fault maybe the shipment they got that day just came in bad, but it sure made a slightly disappointing dinner. read more

I attempted to visit Shor while staying at the hotel which it is located. I was informed they do not sit or allow people to enter after 8:40PM, even though the hotel, website, and restaurant state they are open until 9:00PM. I was told this on December 30, 2021 at 8:42PM. Although a minor issue, it goes to the mindset of the restaurant to NOT be focused on the guests and prioritize the staff to leave at 9:00 rather than to stay open until the hours stated. This restaurant is located in an Hyatt Regency in Waikiki. I would expect much better from them than the selfish attitude received when asking for a drink before they close. I will now now avoid this restaurant and be skeptical of others at Hyatts as well forntokerating this attitude. read more

SHOR - Although the Hyatt and the Shor website states the restaurant is open until 9:00PM, they actually will not let you in after 8:40PM. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Feel bad to leave a negative review but I want to save my fellow travelers done serious money. First the older lady at the front was so irritated that we asked for a table that we could watch the sunset. This place was 1/4 full at best and she showed us every table but one we could watch the sunset. Next the menu was very small and not much selection. The kids meal we got was two pieces of fish that resembled cardboard that no kids would ever eat. We got two burgers that should have been 8$ vs 22$! Anyways the location on the terrace was nice but not worth the 200$ meal. Oh and the house Chardonnay was bitter and super cheap! Overall I wouldn't give it one star but definitely not three due to the price. Sorry guys but they really need to step up their game. Try the tiki restaurant two blocks down, such better food and vibes! Aloha! read more

The Buffett was delicious. In particular we enjoyed the prime rib, king crab legs, sashimi, and Kauai prawns. It's a must try while In Waikiki! read more

Worst buffet in human history. Hyatt charged $40 per person, not including tips and taxes. All the staff clearly don't want to be there. We were given the check after the first plate. While going to get our second plate, we were asked if we were leaving. The food is about the worst you can get. There's a rude chef making omelets. Cheese wasn't melted. Smoked salmon was hard and tastes cheap. They have the stand bread, bacon, eggs, fruits, juice. But they were all horrible. Juice was not fresh and you can taste the preservatives. Bread was typical and not worthy of $40 buffet. Fruits was worse than standard grocery store. This buffet should be free or $10 max. Hyatt regency Waikiki has got to be one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. read more

We had am awesome dinner last monday Feb 27 2023 Our waiter's names is GQ he was very attentive and always coming around our table asking if how our doing.

There is an early bird special for the full breakfast buffet ($24) and continental breakfast buffet ($19) if you manage to show up before 7am. We picked the full breakfast option so that we could enjoy the hot items that would be included. For the price, I thought the selection was good. There was an omelette/egg station. However, I wish there was a crepe station and smoked salmon would have been another good option. Otherwise, I did enjoy the selection that was available. Service was great from start to finish. We had a nice view overlooking the beach. Our server kept checking up on us to clear plates, refill coffee/tea and bring condiments over. The omelette/egg station chef is still the same chef in the Yelp pics. He was happy and cooking eggs and omelettes very efficiently. read more

Felt like sitting by the beach for dinner. Service was fine - food was meh at best. I can compare this to cruise ship food. So far the best meal I had in Waikiki was Canes chicken tenders (kind of joking but not really) read more

Excellent food. Great selection (wide variety, fresh and expertly prepared) and presentation. The staff is friendly and efficient. The view is spectacular. I've been there at sunrise the last two mornings and it's just about perfect. My family is very pleased with the food, service and ambiance as well. read more

Food was fresh and tasty, service was friendly and attentive, and the balcony view of Waikiki Beach was beautiful. Four stars because while the food was good and made with good quality ingredients it wasn't incredibly inventive or memorable . Still an awesome spot I would go to again for a tasty meal with a good atmosphere and nice view read more

Thank you to Joey! For making our dinning experience one of the best. We decided to go to the dinner buffet and it did not disappoint. A tip, make reservations as they do book up quickly. Some may say the place is a bit pricey, but for the service and the fresh and delicious food I feel it's worth it. There is fresh sashimi(containing salmon, ahi and hamachi), a sushi station with a sushi chef on stand by to create made to order hand rolls. There is a fresh salad station, crab and prime rib station, a hot food station, providing both western, Asian and local dishes. Even their desserts were amazing, usually I don't care for desserts at Buffetts as the cakes tend to dry out due to it being out. But each dessert was, fresh, delicious and very flavorful! read more

SHOR - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

Apparently, or at least during our stay, SHOR now only serves a breakfast buffet at $34/person -- which includes juice and coffee/tea. (I am a bit confused by the "American Seafood Grill" in this listing.) The menu was typical of Hyatt breakfast buffets with a few twists. With a large Japanese clientele at the hotel, SHOR offered tofu, miso soup, and steamed rice in addition to the usual items. On the plus side: an omelet station (which neither DH or I tried); tasty pastries which included flaky croissants and mini-size scones; cheese blintzes; excellent potatoes with peppers and onions; super-delicious honey; and robust coffee. On the negative side with food: "soupy" oatmeal, a surprisingly limited selection of fresh fruit, and a disappointing selection of cheese (two kinds) and cold meat (one kind). The advertised self-serve juice bar looked good, but the mixed juices had "settled" and were thus a bit watery. Food aside, both DH and I agreed that the real downfall of SHOR was the pigeons. What should have been a pleasant roof-top experience was spoiled by a continual influx of pigeons flying by the tables as people were eating -- and then when tables were vacated the pigeons swooped in for the leftovers. What was especially disturbing was that the tables were pre-set with cups turned up and flatware in place. We couldn't help but wonder if the pigeons had been flying by our table before we sat down. Had we known how bad the pigeons were, we would have requested an interior table -- although there were smaller birds flying about there, too. SHOR/Hyatt needs to solve this bird problem. How does it even pass health inspection?! So glad we did not have a breakfast package. One meal at SHOR was enough for us. read more

Went here to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Everyone here made us feel special, from the hostess greeting and seating us, to our Rock Star waiter, GQ!!! The vibe with the view and live music was off the charts! One of our better meals, food was perfect. Highly recommend!! read more

had an opportunity to sample their menu, both food and drink. The management seems to pride this place on service provided by the restaurant staff. never an empty glass of water (they will offer you the bottled water for $). We had the - fish, baked in a wine broth with bok choy. (ok, little too bland for my taste) - crab sandwich with fries (ok- too much bread) - veggie burger (ok- too much bread) - braised shortribs (ok- braising texture excellent, little bland for my taste) - ice cream soda floats for desert (ok- they serve Haleiwa Soda. Not bad actually) - price $$ lunch per person might come to $30 the renovations from the old Terrace Grill? Excellent. I might try them again in a few months. Let them work out the bugs first I think; they may improve (taste that is) read more

To be fair, their food is not horrible. It's just a travesty that they charge so much for mediocre food that I would really discourage anyone from eating here. For Christmas Day dinner, each individual cost $85, and this included a salad and soup as a starter, and then a buffet which consisted of a variety of meat (turkey, ham, and steak) and some side dishes (sweet potato gnocchi, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables) and desserts. The meat tasted weird and was unappetizing, even with the pots of gravy and sauces they offered to let you douse your unappetizing meat with more unappetizing flavors. The side dishes were also mediocre, and were served stale under heat lamps along with some bread that could have come from a store-bought package. The only salvageable part of the meal was the dessert. The mini apple pies and sweet cream gelato were quite delectable... the other desserts were just okay. Unless this restaurant meal comes to you COMPLEMENTARY because you're staying at the hotel, DO NOT EAT HERE. It is not worth your money at all. read more

Great service with a smile as usual, and the view is priceless; unfortunately the food was not. This is not a money issue, I know I'm in Hawaii. However, the food is horrible, over-priced, unimaginative, tasteless and typical buffet slop from a bag. Thus, unless it's free or you are in a hurry to grab a bite like we were, you'd be better off going to Burger King a block away. Again, great service with a smile and even better view, but food....yeah no... read more

The buffet breakfast is excellent with good quality of food as you would expect from the Hyatt! It is however quite price, $75 for two for a buffet breakfast! There are plenty of fresh local fruits, sweet papaya, tangerine, pineapple and more. The omelet station is excellent. The chef will do nay style of eggs per request. There are fried rice, sausage, quiche, etc. The outdoor terrace is beautiful with the ocean view. However, you might want to cover your food or take turn to go get food or else you will find pigeons eating out of your plates! We went back for dinner as well. Grilled Mahi Mahi is cooked perfectly! Rib-eyed steak is perfectly tender! Save some for hot fudge and vanilla ice cream too! read more

We had made a reservation for Father's Day dinner at Shor well ahead of time. Found out right before we left to go to the restaurant when checking on the menu on-line at OpenTable that they had gotten rid of dinner service the week before Father's Day. Called up the restaurant and this man said that they had transferred all the reservations to a different restaurant at the same hotel but could not find ours. He was not willing to honor our reservation saying that other people had reservations at that time and they cannot accommodate us despite losing our reservation. We would have to wait at least 45 minutes or come 2 hours past our original reservation time. The person we spoke to on the phone was rude and made it sound like everything was our fault. So we had to scramble for last minute reservation at some other restaurant. Definitely disappointed as we were looking forward to trying this restaurant but will definitely not go here or other restaurants at this hotel anymore. read more

Happy Hour Review only (5-6 pm). Seating for happy hour is limited to the bar area which is a shame since the bar, while very nice, is not open to the terrace and open air. They have plenty of tables for dinner out on the terrace and no one is there for dinner yet so why not open a small section of tables outside for happy hour? They could easily be turned over for dinner rush. The good: the happy hour prices are very reasonable. $5 for just about anything. The char grilled shrimp (4 pieces) with kimchee and house made crackers were very flavorful but messy. My poor little Italian linen napkin was a mess. The GREAT: The Moscow Mule drink made Hawaiian style. Awesome!!! Well made. Plenty of KICK! Frosty copper mug. Nice! Super delicious were the short rib sliders with horseradish sauce and pickled onions and potato chips. Aloha to my taste buds. We would come back for more! read more

I came to this place for breakfast my first day in Waikiki. We're staying at the Hyatt Regency, it's very convenient being located on the 3rd floor. The view is what sold me. You're over looking the beach. The food was good. You have the option of doing a buffet style of A la Carte style. It's almost the same prices to just get the buffet, plus you get to use the omelette station. The service was really good. The servers are very nice and attentive. Our servers name was Elena. Very sweet women. Also this roof top restaurant is right next to the pool and jacuzzi, and a few steps from the Waikiki strip. Definitely recommend it. Lastly, buffet style is $31/ person. If your a Hyatt Gold Member they will take 15% off your bill as well. read more

We cam to Shor for New Year's Eve dinner. Surprised to see it was a prix-fixe only menu. (That was not on the website when the reservations were made, but I guess it wasn't all that surprising.) However, it was VERY expensive for what you got, with very limited choices. There were few options if you have certain allergies to the fixed-menu items. For 2 (with only a single glass of wine), the price was well over $250. While a nice hotel restaurant, it was still a "hotel restaurant". And certainly not worth the price. Sorry, Shor, we won't be returning. read more

This place deserves to be packed for dinner every night. The flavors of our meals (we were a group of seven) were all incredible. From the ahi poke, to the steak and sword fish.... All amazing. Yes it's pricey, but head and shoulders above the restaurants directly on the beach. Incredible meal. read more

My friend and I came here for the last night of a girls trip and had an amazing dinner experience! We ordered two drinks, the burrata, lobster fried rice, and pancetta and kim chi buccatini. Our waiter (Ryan) was extremely kind and attentive and made it a great experience. It started to get chilly and he brought us warmed towels and also gave us roses at the end of dinner since it was Mothers Day. The food was so delicious you will not want to stop eating even when you are full. The portion sizes are also very generous so although this restaurant is a bit pricier the value is great. Highly highly recommend the lobster fried rice and pancetta & kim chi buccatini. Lastly, there was a live musician during dinner who was great which added to the ambiance. read more

Wanted someplace special for our last night in Hawaii. Based on reviews we chose Shor and were not disappointed. Location was great - beautiful outside patio across from Waikiki beaches. Ryan, our server, was excellent. Attentive but not overbearing. Food came out quickly. I had the chicken tortellini and it was prepared as I requested without mushrooms. My husband had the chicken panini and said 'best fries ever'. Servings were plentiful. Tiramisu was tasty - good way to finish our meal. Made a reservation in advance which I'd recommend. With the new Covid regulations you must show a vaccination card so be prepared - and patient with the staff as they are trying their best to figure out to make it all work seamlessly. read more

We came to Shor twice for dinner. First time no reservation only waited about 30 mins, second time reservation and seated right away. Both times the food was amazing.
