Wonderful service, very good food, and fairly casual outside dinner house. We enjoy dining here, and have always enjoyed good meals. Recommend.

My husband and I went here on our honeymoon. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the food! We were entertained that night by the dancers and singer. Make sure you get reservations!

Amex booked room came with comp dinner for 2. The views were great too. The Hula Dancers were 3 past Miss Hawaii winners and all 3 were beautiful. This was a perfect place to dine on our 25th wedding anniversary.

This was the first place we visited after settling into our hotel. I knew we would be tired and hungry since our time zone is five hrs. ahead of Hawaii's. I had read wonderful reviews on TA so decided to give it a go and are so glad we did. We arrived right at 5 pm (10 pm TX time)... More

Favorite place to have a drink in Waikiki, for sure. Beautiful hotel, beautiful venue, beautiful view, STELLAR service, excellent drinks and pu pus. The entertainment was perfect, too. A three-man band playing traditional Hawaiian music. Enough to add the perfect atmosphere, but our group was still able to talk freely without shouting. All in all - WONDERFUL experience. My new...

You are relaxing and looking at the Pacific Ocean, Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head--all is one vista. More than likely you are hearing the waves splashing on the shoreline. A light zephyr makes it delightful to be outdoors. In front of you is this beautiful Kiawe tree, a century old--just awesome to look at. Through its leaves, the last of... More

Whether it is for drinks or dinner you must try this Gem. We found it when we were here last time. Fodors said we should come for MaiTai's and watch the sunset. We did and never forgot the experience. We came this time for dinner and we were not disappointed. There is show with Hawaiian music and a hula dancer.... More

We went to the restaurant to see the Mala Mei Concert that supposed to get us acquainted with Hawaiian culture, traditions, dances, and music. It turned out that the performing group consisted of only three guys singing different Hawaiian songs and a girl dancing. Though I do agree that both music and dances were nice, but I expected something more... More

We enjoyed both breakfast and lunch here and both were excellent in terms of food and service. Breakfast is a bountiful and beautifully presented buffet with cooked to order omelette station. Seating is available both indoors and out in an unbeatable location on Waikiki beach. We had dinner one evening on one of their grill (BBQ) nights and it offered... More

This was a wonderful place to stop for cocktails before dinner at Roy's. The band played Hawaiian-style music and we watched a woman do a pleasant hula dance. The drinks were creative and beautifully presented. They served complimentary kettle chips. Great place to watch the sun go down.
