    Grilled Catch of the Day Fish Sandwich*  Don't see any fish in this sandwich? Neither did I taste any!
    Bill C.

    I think this place stays open because it's good enough for hotel dining. I got the grilled catch of the day sandwich, which was Mahi Mahi. Worst fish sandwich ever. Well, it was mostly a cole slaw sandwich with a small fish square in it. The bun was huge. The cole slaw itself was very bland.

    Pork Wings

    Went here two separate occasions during our stay at HHV, once for lunch and once for dinner. Very happy overall with the food variety and staff. I also LOVE that their quoted wait time are over-estimated and the next thing you know, you are seated within 5-10 mins (but told it's 25). Happened on both occasions. Food is great and tastes fresh, despite being a hotel restaurant. Definitely a need-to stop at place while in HHV. The view is the beach and water is also very nice!

    Eggs Benedict
    Tomaszek C.

    Well, the waiter was pretty nice. Very attentive. Place has a good bustling vibe. Food selections varied. I had a catch of the day, white fish if I recall. Fish was on a bed of risotto. It was fine, not crazy good but fine. We tried chicken wings. There's only six pieces but the wings and thighs are bigger than the average. Drinks are great. Guys pour them to clients' desires. We did come for breakfast as well. Had island or Hawaiian style eggs Benedict. It makes them Hawaiian because of pulled pork. Again, for morning choices - pretty full selection of items.

    I don't have any strong opinions about this place. Its decent food with views of the ocean. I think you definitely pay hotel and waterfront prices but it's no different than most places in waikiki on the water. I went here with my parents and uncles family for brunch. Our server, Brian, was super tentative. Only comment i would have is we had to request water for everyone, would be nice if that was automatic or at least he asked us, since it seemed standard everywhere else we went. But overall, good brunch spot.

    Tropics Bar and Grill is visually a nice oceanfront bar at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu. My family and I came for dinner one of the nights we were there on vacation. We were seated immediately with a great view of the ocean. We ordered the Fish Tacos, Mushroom and Swiss Smash Burger with Fries, Kids Hamburger and Fries, Poke Nachos, Hot wings and Coconut Shrimp. I can only really comment on the Mushroom and Swiss Smash Burger because it was what my husband and I shared -- it unfortunately was one of the blandest burgers we have ever had. I am talking ZERO seasoning. I dipped it in ketchup in order to eat it though because I was starving. I believe everyone else in our party liked what they ordered. Our server was amazing - she actually said that the Mushroom and Swiss Smash Burger was a new menu item and asked my opinion on it. I was honest with her and she appreciated it - even gave us a discount on the bill which I thought was unnecessary, but very nice of them to do. I also ordered a Dirty Martini that was heavenly! Overall, we were really disappointed in our meal. I think I would come back again though and give them another try if we ever had the opportunity! Rating is 3.5 stars because of service!

    The macadamia pancakes and premium fruit plate were fantastic! My son and I shared both and loved it!

    The Ube Macadamia Pancakes with the fresh whipped cream and The Premium Fruit Plate were fresh and delicious!

    Loved the vibes! We stopped by Tropics Bar & Grill in Waikiki at night, and it was such a nice experience. The beachfront view was beautiful -- perfect spot to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. The bartender was really attentive and friendly, which made the night even better. The atmosphere felt lively but still chill, with good food and great service all around. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you want good drinks and appetizers. A nice beach vibe at night!

    Why on earth did you get rid of the kahlua nachos?? What were you thinking? And chicken tenders? Really? The view and drinks are amazing, the service is great, but the menu changes are iffy...

    Dinner Slow Smoked Chicken and Brisket BBQ Platter for Two with sausage
    Mike C.

    Great ocean views and fast friendly service make this spot a must. They are a little on the pricier side and I just don't think it's warranted. The food is very good and the views of the sunset during the dinner hour are amazing! But this still didn't justify the price in my opinion. For lunch I got the bacon cheeseburger and my wife got the Katsu chicken. All of this was very good. The food was hot and fresh. Even the French fries came out perfectly crisp and hot. For dinner we had the dinner for two. This came with brisket, chicken and sausage. Definitely filled us up but the $84 price tag was a bit much so we stuck with just water.

    Loco Moco*
    Mark D.

    Why not start your day with breakfast and a view here at Tropics Bar & Grill. The restaurant is right next to the beach with both indoor and outdoor seating. I'd recommend getting the outdoor seating to enjoy the beach view. We were greeted with a nice hawaiian lady who was friendly but also funny and cracked jokes very now and then. She asked where we were from and then uses that info to create conversations which made ordering a breeze. I ordered the Steak and eggs ($35), while my other half ordered the loco moco ($34) and lastly a side of pancakes for our little one. The steak was a bit tough and not that flavorful. I opted for potatos instead of the salad and got fried rice as well. Eggs were cooked just how i wanted it, over easy. The pancakes were a good side dish. 3 pancakes with a good size cup of butter, syrup and whip cream. The loco moco gravy was tasty and the hamburger patty was a good size. The fried rice went well and added more flavor to the dish. Overall, good food and views! Staff are friendly and always checking up on you. I'd imagine dinner on a Friday night with the sunset/firework show would be amazing here.

    No Meat Here (Veggie Burger)
    Danielle L.

    We had a nice, relaxed dining experience at Tropics Bar & Grill during our trip. The restaurant is spacious, open, and beautifully located right by the ocean, which makes it a great spot to enjoy a meal with a view. We ordered the Chow Fun Noodles and the No Meat Here (Veggie Burger). The veggie burger was good and satisfying. The Chow Fun noodles were okay and nicely seasoned , personally, I think it would be even more delicious if the tofu were deep fried for a bit more texture. That said, everything was still enjoyable. What really stood out was the service. The staff were very nice, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant and comfortable. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was lovely, and the oceanfront setting combined with friendly service makes this a great place to relax and enjoy a casual meal.

    Sunrise Sando
    Karina O.

    Can only speak to the breakfast here, there were a handful of options but what sold us was the view with breakfast. The restaurant is right on the main walkway of waikiki beach which makes for great people watching! This sunrise sando was so flavorful and delicious but be warned it does have a mild spicy kick also had the fluffiest and softest folded eggs. The menu was a little unclear about the lettuce because it made it seem like it came on the sandwich but it comes as a little side salad with a vinaigrette dressing which was tasty. Not pictured but the order of banana bread was a hidden gem it comes with 2 slices and you can see and taste the freshly mashed bananas. Service was great here, the servers gave great tips about places to see and other restaurants to try. When dining here be aware that they have a net over the patio to keep birds out but some still manage to get in and they get stuck within the patio so you will have some birds flying around inside.

    Banana Bread
    Amber G.

    Had drink and popcorn shrimp here last night. Yum. My only complaint is I ordered a Chardonnay and when I got the 2nd one the glass was much much larger........ I felt a lil cheated, but maybe he hooked me up? LOL Had breakfast here this morning and the Kailua pork Benedict is so delicious. Huge too, I split with my friend. The potatoes are yum. I had the mango tea and he kept refilling my glass, full from that, and then he gave me one to go. The banana bread was to die for!!! Best I've had this far. Beautiful view on the beach. Love Tropics.

Unlike the Chinatown location, this place is smaller but very intimate. Since it just opened when I got there I cant tell you what kind of people relax here. I liked it as its quiet and calm. Ill have to go back to sample there food and update my review later.

    Sadly I hoped I could give it a better review but since moving from the downtown venue to Waikiki I…read morejust couldn't. Located in a hotel called The Romer on Nāhua Street in Waikiki off of Kuhio (closer to Ala Wai Canal) it is a smallish unpretentious looking building on Diamond Head side of Nahua. They have valet stand in front and validate parking for up to 3 hours. The valet wasn't very friendly when we walked towards him and usually they hold the door open but this one did not. We realize he's probably not part of Lei Stand staff but it doesn't make a good first impression. Walk into the lobby and directly to your left is the Lei Stand. It is brightly neon but dark if that makes sense, and very small. If you're a fan of when it used to be on Bethel St downtown then you'll be disappointed with this venue. No view to be had, dark drapes cover the windows (we were there at 6:00 pm) and no cute little lanai or garden. Tiny tables either high tops or rounds - maybe 10 total and a small bar. There was one tiny corner booth. The lost star was for this set up but also another lost star for NO MUSIC. Music is such an important part of a place especially a bar so we were disappointed and appalled there was only silence. Bartender said the music was "broken" so we turned on our phones to get something on our table. Then two girls brought in something to light the place up with some tunes so that helped. The final lost star was it is called The Lei Stand yet there wasn't a lei stand inside the place. When we asked the bartender where it was he didn't even know what a lei was. Then we explained to him and he said it is in the hotel lobby but you have to go to front desk to let them know you wish to purchase one. Another disappointment. Thank goodness I bought her a lei from downtown in case they didn't have any. The good stars ... Star 1 goes to the drink menu and how delicious they tasted. "Rub up on my belly" was beautifully prepared and so delicious I had to have another one lol I mean how could I refuse a second guava jam infused Tito's vodka??? Bartender prepared with cute little garnish and an ice stick to keep it cold! He was very nice and took good care of us. My friend opted for the "Clifton's Curse" - yes there's a back story to this drink- and enjoyed the cognac, absinthe, bitters and sherry concoction! Ono! Star 2 goes to the food or "nibbles" as they call it. Taro chips and crack dip were yum and a nice handful of chips not too much and not too little. Hurricane fries - to die for! Plenty of furikake, parmigiano reggiano and spicy aioli. The girls who brought our food were very nice and made sure we had what we needed to enjoy, bringing us waters too. They also had a smash burger for $25 but we had dinner rez later so didn't want to indulge but it looked good. It might be cute if you wanted to do a private party here and I noticed a room across with a beautiful large table set up for a private dinner - not sure if part of hotel or bar.

He has been a fan of Johnny Valentine and said he was playing at the Mai Tai Bar in the Royal Hawaiian. The Bar is located in the back patio area that faces the beach. Arriving at 6:30pm, there was a line to be seated and when we were seated, we were at a nice table facing the beach, but we were on the opposite side where the stage Johnny was performing. Also, we were next to the bar and it was quite noisy. After ordering our drinks, which I got the Royal Sunset Ale, we spotted a table near the stage and asked our waitress if we could move there. She checked and said we could move there. It was a nice center table about 20ft from the stage and we could hear Johnny perform without the bar noise. Johnny is Hawaii's premier entertainer, who is Bruno Mars' uncle, is known for his vocal range and guitar skills. He performed Hawaiian songs and had a hula dancer on stage with him and he covered popular songs. He also came by our table during an intermission and graciously took pictures with us. Mai Tai Bar is not only a bar but a restaurant too, so it did have food offerings as well. The servers were friendly and efficient. It was a nice evening to cap off our vacation with a nice evening of music and drinks.
