    My first time in Hawaii, I did so much research on places to eat just because I am a HUGE foodie. But out of all the locals favorite spots, I didn't even plan on coming here, my partner just randomly craved crab and this was the closest place to our hotel. But MY GOD, this is the place that stole my heart. Chef was so compassionate and caring. Food was IMMACULATE. Chef legit has three different salts he roasted in different ways and flavors. I am in love and if I had to give one reason to why I would move to Hawaii, it would be Aina Mahalo

    Came back to one of the best steak houses I can find on the island. Decided this trip to go with the filet and it did not disappoint like the rest so far. Tender cut with a fork all the way through shows the quality of beef you get here. Atmosphere is always great and inviting and warm. Great variety selections of types and age beef that's worth every penny. Love coming here each and every time

    The food and drinks were amazing. The restaurant has a quaint atmosphere. I had the lamb chops. Absolutely delicious!

    Delicious Wagyu ribeye. 33 oz was plenty for three adults. Loved the spicy mango dressing and the Lilikoi pineapple dressing on the complimentary salad. Oysters were very fresh. Beers on tap were smooth and very cold. Service was as good as it could be for NYE. They were slammed. We could see how hardworking their crew was and left a generous tip.

    We happen to find this via yelp. thanks yelp! Took my boo friend to go here for his bday. He ordered an American wagyu steak and we shared a 2lb crab legs. $90 and $150 for the legs. they even made their own dressing in house. Excellent service I found out that this restaurant was only been open for the last two years. It's located upstairs and you would have to use a map to find the location. There is no entryway unless you go upstairs. Give this place a try!

    Very disappointed. Came here for lunch to do the buffet. Place was closed. I will try back this evening.

    Came here for date night with my husband and it DID NOT disappoint. It's been in my bookmark for so long and so happy to have finally tried it. This is definitely a hole in the wall type of restaurant tucked in Waikiki on the 2nd floor. Let me start off by saying the employees were all so amazing, caring & friendly. All very passionate about the restaurant establishment. Our server Will was so knowledgeable & wasn't trying to upsell us anything. Very genuine and friendly throughout our entire stay. Very very good hospitality!! We even had a chance to meet the owner, she was very sweet and gave us free cheesecake for our dessert! Steak & seafood? Like those are my two favorite combos! They had all different types of steak cuts & some dry aged ones as well. I'm very picky when it comes to steakhouses and getting quality meat. The steak also came with mash & salad. I loved how you didn't have to pay extra for that. We also got the seafood plate which had so much fresh seafood. The braised beef with mash was probably my favorite thing here. This place did not disappoint! Everything we ate was so delicious. This restaurant is so cute for date night, family gatherings or even a girls night! I will be a return customer for sure. I can't wait to eat here again. I highly recommend.

    Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. He explained everything and told us what they were out of. He always checked in to see how we was doing. Great service -1* Only thing I didn't like was the smell of the sewer filling this fine dining restaurant up. My son was not happy about it walking in, I did ask our server why it smelt the way it did and he apologized, it was definitely a turn off but I noticed once they started finally cooking the smell slowly disappeared so that was very helpful. But in all honesty coming to a restaurant and dropping six hundred it should not be smelling like that, it's not normal and something should be done about it because I went next door plenty of times to eat at CAMADO RAMEN TAVERN and never smelt that and their literally next door to each other. 4* The 3 of us enjoyed Ultimate Seafood Platter (Half) They we're out of King Crab so they gave more Snow Crab. Bone In Ribeye Half Lamb Rack Snow Crab Legs (Steamed with Butter on the side) Loaded Mash Plain Mash Steam Garlic Mussels Drinks

    We've been to several steak houses in Honolulu and wanted to try somewhere new. Our server said they've been open for about one and a half years. This restaurant is on the second floor and depending on your table, you can look down to watch the hustle and bustle of cars and people on Lewers Street. As their Yelp page suggests, this is casual dining, not fancy, but the food and customer service is top notch! My friend doesn't like a bloody steak so he ordered his well done. Our server confirmed, before placing the order just to be extra clear. Zero pink yet tender enough, according to Dion. He enjoyed the rosemary infused dipping salt with his steak. Don't let me forget the loaded mashed potatoes, delish!! I ordered the half lamb rack medium rare. Everything from taste, texture, to presentation was on point! My order was served so well assembled I couldn't help but take multiple pictures because the camera eats first LOL The lamb was super tender, it didn't take much effort to cut. And the flavor, Mmmmmmm! Didn't need the dipping salts but those were a nice touch. They had grated wasabi root, wasabi salt, yuzu salt, and rosemary salt. Those certainly took the lamb to another level of yumminess! On the Open Table reservation, I notated this dinner was for a birthday. Our server graciously brought the delicious cheesecake, complimentary with chocolate salutations :) Our evening was perfect because the food was great, the service was stellar, and their music playlist was so fun! From Prince to Etta James, Luther, and Barry White we almost stayed longer just to listen and laugh while our tummies were full of happiness :) Excellent food!! Great vibe!! Worth checking it out!!

    TL;DR A steak restaurant without steak knives. Came here today for Christmas dinner. Service was lacking. Felt very rushed right from the start. Told us we had a 2 hour limit. Fine. Eating with 2 kids ensures we won't be there long. Steak was served without steak knives. Asked and were told to use our butter knives. Yes technically it works to cut but so would a just using my teeth. We got 2 steaks that cost over $200. Come on. Also, the forgot the asparagus we ordered. I asked them about it 40 mins after the steaks were served. The pink salt that was served with the steak had been sitting around in the humidity for a bit and was soft and clumpy. The French fries were also soggy Overall food was ok but the experience lacking.

    8oz Filet with Chefs house made salts

    I've been to a lot of steak restaurants, but this one by far takes the cake. From service to food, to the comfort of the restaurant itself with beautiful windows surrounding us. The chef himself came and spoke to us with such passion and love for the craft of his food and it truly showed in every bite! We will be coming back to Hawaii just for this place. A true hidden gem. Beautifully crafted food from wholesome people! 100000/10000 such a perfect way to end our trip.

    King crab but dry. Well, not dry-dry, just I am used to moister  waaaaah! Good portion though.

    Mother's Day dinner, 14 people. The biggest star tonight that saved this establishment and gained 4 stars in my opinion was...the service. I am always inclined to give a better rating when service is good because service is almost everything to me. I feel whether you give good service or not is all your choice. Good service makes me forgive. Good service makes me think that intentions are good and at Aina Steak & Seafood I can tell how hard the servers work to make your visit a good one. They really are attentive and so polite and I really feel the genuine hospitality.. It just made me feel good as I left. And it makes me feel bad to have to point out the misses but here's the thing. I want this establishment to succeed if anything, for the hard workers who have to make it in Hawaii and I am tired of hearing about places closing down and people losing jobs. So I will take the time to give my opinion. The sides were great. The mashed potatoes...a definite win, mushrooms, brussel sprouts, calamari were good too. Also the abalone was so soft, salad and fruity house made special dressings good. For the steaks the ribeye and tomahawk were also good. What missed? How The steak and seafood were cooked lol...and that's what is supposed to win because that's your name!! So I feel that it's because of the cook, not the ingredients but the cooking of the steaks and seafood. I got the mother's day special which included wagyu steak, 4 oysters and king crab legs. I cannot remember the ounces and pounds but the amount was good. But the wagyu was overdone. I requested medium rare and what I got was ¾ well and ¼ pink. Everyone, meaning everyone's steak was overdone. I would skip the wagyu because If I wasn't told that my steak was wagyu, I would never have known and I have tasted good, melt in your mouth wagyu before. My family likes to see red in their steak not pink but red like blood. My crab legs were dry. Not dry-dry but dry enough that I had to use the drawn butter and I normally do not eat crab legs with butter because when we have crab legs at home it is juicy and that's all crab legs need, to be juicy, in order to taste it's sweetness. The other side of the table ordered 2 ultimate seafood platters. They told me that the lobsters and shrimp were rubbery. Now when the restaurant got smokey enough to where they had to open windows, what I observed was the fire at the grill was high reaching the hood. One person was grilling and another person was...fanning the flames!!! That does not reduce flaming and does the opposite! Anyone who knows how to grill understands that introducing more oxygen feeds fire. Omg. Also, anyone that knows how to cook seafood knows that all seafood has the potential to dry and get rubbery if cooked too long. It makes mere minutes to cook seafood. Please, please, retrain. If it wasn't for overdone steak and rubbery seafood I would have given 10 stars because the service is excellent so don't ever change that. Price wise, yes, definitely expensive. We paid $1900 which included proper tip. For that price...I mean... So no, this establishment is not at the caliber of let's say Stripsteak or Hy's, although the price point is. I shouldn't have to say, "hey if you go to Aina S&S make sure that if you want medium rare that they get you". For the price you pay they should just know. I mean if you like your steak done medium-well to well, then you'll love the steak. Idk who would want rubbery lobster though. But the awesome service, yah, you got me there 100%...1000%! 2 Parking areas in the back. The cheap parking is the big parking so heading east on Kuhio, right after Ritz Carlton turn right like you're going to the back side of the Ritz and it's there, although it's hard to tell. I mean just turn right when you see the P cause I missed it the first time. And then there's the other small parking lot on the other side of the fence, parking is separated. It's smaller and seems sketch but I parked there twice before and had no problem. For 3 hours it was $22 and some change. For that parking lot you head east on Kalakaua, turn left on Lewers and take the first left, yeah kinda sketch looking and small and expensive but it's close parking. Hope everyone else has a 5 star experience cause if they cook the steaks better and cook seafood shorter it will be good and I may try again. Gotta save up though. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Short ribs w/ mashed potatoes & 8oz steak w/ house salads
    Ale M.

    There were plenty of steak house options around where we were staying but this place definitely caught my eye. The service was immaculate - our servers were extremely kind and provided us great recommendations on appetizers and wines. Mussels were made to perfection, short ribs w/ mashed were decadent & last but not least the medium 8oz ordered could literally be cut with a butterknife. Oh my god & I cannot forget the salads. House salad w/ the dressings were SO good - I wanted to cry. Peak tenderism. The food was exceptional with a reasonable price. The ambience was pleasant. We will 100% be coming back here again. :)

    Do they do take out? We went there last year with the family and it was delicious and amazing but this time I came alone as my husband passed a month after our trip last year.

    Yes they do; I have ordered a steak to go with some sides and picked up and went back to my hotel to eat.

    Do they serve rice?

    No, there is no rice on the menu across the board

    Do they have handicap access?

    I can't remember...however it is located upstairs. But based on the service we received, I'm sure they would figure out a way to accommodate you.

    Good for kids 2 and 5?

    Yes

Like you would want to be friends with them if they were friendly. They are genuinely bewildered. No other way to explain each staff member other than bewildered. All of them. Not rude. Each person employed is confused and just reallllllllly confused about a lot of things. Before we could warn our friends who were also in town, they went to 100 Sails for one of their birthdays, a work trip but trying to celebrate, ugh so sad. They made note of the birthday while making reservations and the husband mentioned it in person and ZERO mention by any staff. Zero acknowledgement. So if you really want to have a sad birthday, this would ALSO be the place.

    I went here with my best friend, whom I hadn't seen in a minute, and we had such a great time! I…read morehad heard that this restaurant has gotten a lot better since the original chef left after they first opened in 2021--and I have to say, it was BOMB! Our server, Mandy, was the absolute sweetest! She made sure my dog got her steak prepared and even brought her a delicious pup cup for dessert. Cutlery definitely knows how to do dog-friendly dining right! For starters, we had the escargot, which was super good! I do wish the bread was a little softer, but honestly, it didn't take away from the dish. We also got the duck fat fries, and those were --crispy, flavorful, and done so well! For our main course, we had the braised beef pasta, and it was TO DIE FOR. They were definitely generous with the beef, so you're getting your money's worth. And of course, we had to finish with the crème brûlée. It was creamy, delicious, and the perfect way to end the night. Overall, I had such a great experience and will definitely be coming back--especially because my dog loved it just as much as I did!

    Dinner was great. We had a party of 4. We started with…read morethe Washugyu Bone Marrow, served with 2 large pieces of garlic bread. YUM Pulehu Tako - very tender. YUM Dinner choices were, Short rib rigatoni - simply delish New York Sirloin - excellent choice Rack of lamb - prepared very well. Side choices- Truffle mashed potatoes- so good I wanted to swim in it. Duck fat fries- couldn't keep from munching on those tasty fries! Cooked to a crisp that's just right! Fire roasted corn - OMG. They are so so good! Dessert .. who doesn't have room for dessert!?Banana Bread pudding with Mac Nuts, served with vanilla ice cream . Put us in a coma! It's that good. Our waitress gave us very good service.. attentive to our dining experience. She was very friendly! I didn't get her name, but only know that she has been working there for a year. She helped us with some recommendations as well. So Kudos to our server! We didn't order drinks from the bar but saw a drink menu. I can't wait to go back and explore the bar menu. BTW, the menu is one of those that lights up! There is a small parking lot in the back and street parking on Waialae Ave. , so yeah.. not really a problem with parking for our party. Mahalo Cutlery for a wonderful dining experience.

    Boy oh boy was this place awesome…read more My wife and I went here for one of our honeymoon dinners and we went kind of wild with the menu. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomach but we were determined to try a little of everything we wanted. I loved that the employees made it feel so special and wrote us congratulation cards for our wedding we had the night before and it was our 7 year anniversary and they set it up on our table before we got there. Starting off with the oysters and Crab legs for starters, definitely awesome taste. Our waiter Darren was so awesome and nice enough to de shell the legs for us and brought it out nice and hot. By the time we finished the legs and oysters we were half way full. The legs are a whole pound had tons of meat. Then we were served the main dishes, my wife got some sort of fish with a miso type of broth and vegetables which was not only filled with flavor but really nice and soft. I got the wagyu ribeye for myself and it didn't disappoint. It didn't help that I was already half way full when I got it but it was sooo good. It went so well with the sautéed brussel sprouts and baked potatoes we got on the side. By this time we couldn't even finish our food but we still had dessert coming. I forgot what it was but you can see for yourself in the picture. It was like a warm, soft chocolate cake with chocolate fudge in the middle with some vanilla ice cream to cool it down and when you bite into it, it just explodes with flavor. So so good. Lastly, Darren our waiter was so attentive and was very detailed with his description of the foods themselves and just went above and beyond with serving us. His gestures were hugely appreciated by both of us and I would definitely recommend him to anyone going to eat at this place. Keep in mind this place is quite high end, so you will be spending some good money but if you appreciate great service and food, it will be well worth it. Thank you to all the staff for making our honeymoon dinner an awesome one to remember.

    My boyfriend and I went to Morton's for our anniversary! It was my first time to a steakhouse and I…read moreloved it! Tim was our server and was super welcoming and informative. He gave us great recommendations and was able to explain highlighted dishes to us. I got my filet mignon (12oz) as medium rare, my boyfriend got their Cajun ribeye as medium rare as well. Both were cooked to perfection! We wanted to try some of their sides as it was our first time dining at Morton's. Loved them all, but we'd probably just order the truffle fries and maybe try their mashed potato dish (which we didn't get this time). My boyfriend enjoyed their tossed salad- I did as well! We let them know in our reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary, so they decorated the table in celebration! Including a lava cake w/ vanilla ice cream on the house! The best lava cake we've ever had! We both agreed we'd go back just for that lava cake!!! The restaurant itself looked so nice, we were glad to have gotten a booth seat- our reservation was at 4:30pm, as we had a night show to attend to later. By 5:30 I'd say it was getting more packed. Idk if we'd have gotten a booth seat if we had reservations at a later time.
