Food, great. Ambiance, chill. View, beautiful. Didn't come for a full dinner, but instead enjoy pupu plates with my girls. The Mac cheese and chicken wings were so tasty. They honestly had the best brussel sprouts I have ever had. The crisp * chefs kiss. But what really made this experience was our host TAI. Literally from the moment we walked into the restaurant/bar, until we left.. she took such good care of my group. She made my bachelorette dinner so so special and I'm forever grateful! She's the reason for the 5 star! Cannot forget about Alexis also - she was super accommodating and just as sweet!! read more

SKY Waikiki - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

Sky Waikiki is all about the views and the vibe. The city skyline from up here is beautiful--especially at sunset rolling into night. It's one of those spots where the atmosphere really carries the experience. The food holds its own too. The steak and seafood were on point--well-cooked, flavorful, and definitely satisfying. If you're a steak lover, this is a solid place to check out. The energy picks up as the night goes on. Live music, DJ, and a full-on club vibe especially on a Friday. Just know the sound hits hard, so it's not the quiet dinner type of place. Staff was friendly and kept things moving despite the busy crowd. Perfect spot if you want dinner that turns into a night out with great views, good food, and high energy. read more

One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time, thanks to Amanda. She was attentive, genuine, and made everything feel effortless. Her service elevated the whole night--we even ordered extra rounds just because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Amanda is a standout. Highly recommend. read more

SKY Waikiki - Japanese style Poke - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

**This is a review for the experience, it is not for the food. My friend wanted to go to SKY for her birthday, so I made a reservation for sunset. After reading the reviews, I opted for drinks and apps, and booked dinner elsewhere. Our table had a nice view, though to take a photo with the sunset, there is only a small corner where this can be done. Our service was good, and the drinks came out quickly. We shared the charcuterie board, which was fine, but just okay for the price. We came on a beautiful evening and it was lovely to sit on the rooftop with good friends and drinks, enjoying the view. I think the experience was great based on our planning and expectations. read more

The coconut girl was way too sweet! I like sweet but this was cloying. I couldn't even taste the alcohol unfortunately. The prosciutto was good but we were expecting local fruits, this didn't hit the mark. Finally, we had a reservation and weren't even seated with a view. The food was meh. I recommend skipping this place if you're visiting. read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday here at Sky. It's a rooftop spot with stunning panoramic views. There were a lot of groups there, so it's a great place for birthdays, reunions, or any kind of gathering. The staff were attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. The food portions varied depending on the dish, but overall it was a fun, lively place to celebrate with friends while enjoying the beautiful Waikiki skyline. read more

OVERALL: food was disappointing as were the views FOOD: overcooked short ribs with sauce that tastes like ketchup, bad octopus that was overcooked and had random pieces of spam and a black sauce that added no value. Small portions but enough for two to share. Mocktails were great. SERVICE: hostesses were great--super friendly and helpful. I had an interaction with a waitress waiting on a table next to mine who was so rude. She was a young blonde with a high braided ponytail. Our actual waitress was friendly and professional though. VENUE: very small. You only get a decent view if you're sitting in the area in front of the bar and even then all you get is a view of buildings. Everyone else sits along the glass wall with views of the parking lot. Pretty sure all the review about the views are fake having now been there. It is also hard to find the place but it's next to the H&M read more

We arrived early for our reservations but were sat promptly. We were greeted by Damian and he was an amazing server. He brought out some water and allowed us sometime to go over the menu. He was very welcoming and friendly! I loved the vibe up there. The skyline was lit by the surrounding buildings, the music was relaxing and beautiful, and the breeze was refreshing. Shout out to the musician there. His voice was so smooth and velvety and his guitar playing was amazing. I loved every second. I ordered a strawberry mojito and tried the espresso martini. I enjoyed the mojito. It was refreshing. The espresso was a bit strong on the espresso side but still enjoyed. I'd definitely come back. read more

I heard somewhere " If your favorite club is SKY Waikiki, you're a baddie" and while I can't attest if that is fact, I can attest that SKY Waikiki is the best rooftop spot and has an awesome upscale vibe. The views are immaculate from the ocean to the mountains and the city in-between. Located on Kalakaua, I'd suggest parking in either the Waikiki Business Plaza parking garage (I believe you can search that up in your GPS maps) or the Waikiki Shopping Plaza parking garage across the street. Located on the 19th floor, you'll take an elevator and then an escalator up. They have multiple elevators so there's never really a long wait to get upstairs (one of my pet peeves is having to wait long for an elevator, just for that elevator to be too packed). Happy hour is everyday from 4-5pm! From their raw bar, you can get $2 oysters or jaz it up with ponzu, spicy daikon radish, yuzu, green onions for $4. Be sure to check out their poke! Ahi, hamachi salmon, and even beef poke! One of my friends doesn't eat fish but loves beef sushi/ poke from here. The service here is really attentive and friendly. They even have a bathroom attendant that is always so sweet, such a nice and classy touch. SKY Waikiki always has a cool lineup of live music - every time I come in there's either a DJ or live musicians playing local music. If you're looking for a great view for drinks and food, especially for sunset- I recommend this spot. read more

We came here for the view, Happy Hour, small bites, and of course their Mai Tai's. The view was amazing exactly what we expected. It was extremely hot, so the waitress offered us an umbrella. The umbrella was awkward because you had to hold it with one hand and eat with the other hand. So we chose to move our table to the shade. We ordered the wings and truffle fries. The wings were okay, it wasn't what I expected. Not a lot of seasoning, bland and no dipping sauce. The truffle fries lived up to their name. Crispy, nicely plated and a nice blend of cheese. I really don't know what to say about their Mai Tai. It wasn't the best Mai Tai and it wasn't the worst. It was on the sweeter side but it was okay. This place is excellent for the view and maybe some of their entrees but it's not a good choice for Happy Hour. read more

SKY Waikiki - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

So what's cool about the Sky is the oysters, you can buy as many as you want. Want 1 get 1. First time I've been to a restaurant that allows you to order just one oyster. The spicy margarita was so good my friend said she wanted to bathe in it! LOL The fries were good. The poke nachos, wow! I would have liked bigger pieces of ahi but still the bomb. Sushi roll was ok. My only complaint- and I think this is totally fixable for them, you have to have a reservation..... we sat down and she asked us to move because it was reserved. There isn't much seating. The only tables not reserved are directly in the sun. No umbrellas, no shade. So you'll either be standing and eating or in direct sunlight. Other than that this place was incredible read more

Cute Christmas bar set up - the decorations are very festive, and the drinks as well! Bartender was friendly and helpful with recommendations. Would be nice to have more chairs and tables available. Could also get hot at times, but it is an open layout with some breeze. There is a photo booth available to use at a cost. I got the Mistletoe Margarita and personally felt like it was a -little- strong for me, but it was the best drink from the ones I sampled of my friends' (sangria and minty mischief). Had a good time here! read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and it was a good vibe overall. I know a lot of the reviews mention their bad experience with the service but I can't really comment much on that because all we did was get a couple of drinks at the bar and that went smoothly with the bartenders. And my drink (coconut girl) was super delicious). The views were immaculate and the live music was really cool too. read more

One of my friends was given SKY Waikiki as a Mai Tai recommendation. We were in the area and decided it would be our first stop on a Mai Tai crawl. We hit them during their post-dinner rush so there was no wait for us to get a table. The best seats against the glass wall were all taken so we took a high top. Our server was so kind for unexpectedly being gifted us as one of her tables at the tail end of her shift. Despite kind of being in a corner, we had really great views. SKY Waikiki has live music almost daily, and the guy who was performing during our time there was phenomenal. You can tell he's been in the biz for a long time and knows his craft well! The Mai Tais were a little strong, and not too sweet. A perfect blend! We ordered spicy ahi nachos with the understanding that they weren't horribly spicy for us Zonies - and that was correct. The best part of the nachos was the yin & yang of the fresh poke & crispy wonton chips. Good to the last drip of sauce. read more

Drinks from the bartender Taylor were delicious and fresh- he is truly a master at his craft.

Servers Damien and Kelly gave us wonderful service as it clearly seemed to be a team operation. Impressive cohesion! Thank you Sky Waikiki! read more

Sky Waikiki was our first dinner spot in Honolulu, and we were blown away. The views were absolutely breathtaking--you get a full panoramic look at the city from the rooftop, and the live music created the perfect ambiance. The vibes were up, and it truly felt like the perfect start to our trip. We ordered the short ribs, truffle fries, a few drinks, and the half chicken, and everything was delicious. The half chicken was incredibly juicy and came with flavorful mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked veggies. The ribs fell right off the bone, and the truffle fries were immaculate--crispy, flavorful, and addicting. Service was also great--everyone was friendly and attentive, and our food came out quickly. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but you're on a rooftop in Hawaii with live music and insane views. It's totally worth it. 100% would recommend and 100% would come again. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience tonight at SKY Waikiki was easily some of the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. First, the hostess wasn't even at the front desk when we arrived. We stood there waiting while multiple staff members walked by without acknowledging us. When she finally showed up several minutes later, instead of being welcoming, she immediately had an attitude. Things somehow went downhill from there. At one point the hostess and our server were openly talking about us within earshot, which is incredibly unprofessional and honestly shocking to see in a place that tries to present itself as upscale. Then the food service was a mess. My boyfriend and I received our meals 15 minutes apart, meaning one of us was basically finished before the other even started eating. For a restaurant that charges premium prices, that's unacceptable. Between the disorganized service, the staff talking about customers, and the poorly timed food delivery, this was a genuinely disappointing experience. There are far too many great places in Waikiki to spend your money somewhere that treats guests like this. read more

Traveling from California, we have visited Sky Waikiki several times in the past. Generally, we love to visit rooftop bars in several metro area locations. Sky Waikiki falls into this category of a great rooftop bar to chill. We popped in for a few appetizers and cocktails. Our server had recently move to Hawaii from out of state 6 months ago. She was super sweet and on top of everything we ordered. Our food choices came out perfectly and very satisfied with the service. We highly recommend, when visiting, to make reservations as it can get busy--especially with the larger parties. Enjoy Hawaii! read more

4/5 stars! Mainly for our fabulous server Damien and the amazing live singer Briankeith (BK) Espiritu. We got a reservation on the rooftop for sunset and the views were beautiful. The roof is a little more packed as there are people standing around at the bar and there are tables pushed right against the glass so it can be hard to take pictures in front of the view without objects in the background. We had a party of 13 so we ended up seated around benches with a giant square table in the middle of us at two separate tables. The vibe was definitely more relaxed and chill as you kind of have to eat stooped over the middle table. But we were super happy to be right next to the entertainment! I ordered a Mai Tai which I thought was great! Tasted good and was strong. Service overall was great because of Damien. It was a little bit on the slow side, but Damien's personality made up for some of the waiting. I ended up eating: Truffle Fries, Hawaiian Plantation Ribs, and Braised Pork Belly. The star of the show was definitely the Truffle Fries. The entire table found them highly addicting -- seasoned just right, truffle flavor coming through, crispy and fluffy. Everything else was okay! A lot of us really enjoyed the saffron risotto that came with the pork belly. It was very flavorful and had a velvety texture. The pork belly was okay/good and the ribs were a bit disappointment. The ribs were on the dry side and did not have much flavor. I'd pass on those! BK Espiritu really helped make the night special! We were celebrating a friend's birthday so he sang songs we requested and gave us shoutouts throughout the night. We had an extra fun time because of him! Overall, the restaurant is fun! You just have to know what to order. Food is a bit pricey, but you do pay for the view. Come on a night where BK Espiritu is playing and you're in for a good night. read more

I highly recommend making reservations for SKY Waikiki because it's a popular spot, especially around sunset. We arrived at 4:15pm and the sun was very bright at first--if you don't mind it, you'll be fine--but staying until sunset was totally worth it because the views were beautiful and the live music paired with it was such a vibe. We enjoyed happy hour and I loved the spicy mango margarita, plus they had $5 beers, which was a great deal. There was a bit of miscommunication with our server around 5:00pm when she told us happy hour was over, but I pointed out the menu said it went until 6:00pm and she checked and confirmed we were right. Just a heads-up to check your receipt, as we were accidentally charged for two glasses of wine we didn't order. Food-wise, the fresh oysters were good, though there was some confusion when we asked how to differentiate the Japanese-style ones and they had to bring them back. The octopus was tasty but I wish it had more char, and the honey truffle mascarpone was just okay since the bread was a bit stale. We really enjoyed the ahi poke, ahi nachos, wings, and ribs, but when we ordered oyster shooters at the end, they took a while to arrive and we were told we only had 15 minutes left at our table. Despite a few service hiccups, the views, drinks, and overall atmosphere made it a fun experience. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at SKY Waikiki. From the moment I was seated, everything felt special -- especially the ocean view, which made dining there even more memorable. My server JP was outstanding. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and had such a great personality. He was friendly, offered excellent recommendations, and made sure our food and drinks kept coming in a timely manner without ever feeling rushed. Truly top-tier service. For food, I ordered the hamachi poke, spicy ahi poke with avocado and taro chips, and the Japanese-style oysters, paired with a spicy mangorita -- everything was so fresh and absolutely divine. You can really taste the quality of the seafood, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Overall, it was such a lovely experience: fresh seafood, beautiful views, and exceptional service. Highly recommend SKY Waikiki, and if you can, definitely ask for JP -- he made the night even better. mahalo read more

I had been hearing people talk about Sky Bar for a while, so when I came back to visit Waikiki, I finally got the chance to see it for myself. First, I want to say that you definitely need to make a reservation, and I highly recommend calling ahead if you want a seat with a view. I made my reservation late, which was a mistake on my part, but the host was so sweet and accommodating. She also had on an amazing outfit that night, which immediately stood out. Originally, I told her we wanted a seat with a view, but once we heard the live talent performing, we decided we wanted to sit on the couches right in front of him instead. I don't know the gentleman's name, but he was absolutely amazing. I would honestly only want to go back when he's there singing. He performed all the songs I love and remixed them so well, while also playing the guitar. He was truly one of a kind. If you ever see him performing there, please don't forget to tip him. The drinks were tasty, and we also had a small bite to eat which we enjoyed. Overall, we had a great time. I will definitely be back and hope to see him performing again. read more

SKY Waikiki - Spicy Mangorita - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

(Last visited December 4, 2022.) It looks like I'm too late to write this review because it seems as if this place no longer offers brunch, but I gots to see it through my boi. So here in Hawaii on vacation with my wife and we are brunch aficionados. We found this place and they must've been doing bottomless mimosa brunch for a limited amount of time so we made reservations and made our way to the top floor of The Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Atmosphere/Appearance: Just absolutely gorgeous views of Waikiki and surrounding areas. The DJ had good lively music playing and the vibes were just the best. This is what vacation should be! Service: We had no issues here and we were well taken care of. Food: We're here for the bottomless mimosas and they were cool. They were juicy and we had to keep on asking for less juice. Like, I get it. You don't want to over-serve or give out too much of your product, but do NOT put bottomless on the menu if you can't handle some real drinkers that pull up. Lol. It's probably why they got rid of it. Anyway, the food was decent. We had the shrimp cocktail and they were cool. Could've used more horseradish in the cocktail sauce and the shrimp were a TTTAAADDD bit chewy, but still delicious. My burger was excellent. I had no complaints. It's easy to write-off the food here because of the amazing vibes and views, so just take that with a grain of salt. Value: This place was NOT cheap. I can't even remember the prices of everything, but I feel like we spent $200.00 between the 2 of us for the brunch including tax & tip. Still worth it for a good time. In conclusion, I'd totally come back here and check out their nightlife! It looks like it would be a grand time and plus they have a raw bar! I'm totally interested in that! read more

I never understood why this place has less than 5 stars. I come here on every trip to Oahu and it never disappoints.

Don't be a foodie snob and bypass this gem of a place... come here, enjoy drinks and food and live music and melt with happiness as the sun sets and paints the sky every color of the rainbow and you'll agree this place is 5 star worthy! read more
