    Lobster mac and cheese with only that piece in top. Don't believe the hype!
    INDIA O.

    Aloha Steakhouse was decent, but very expensive for the overall quality. I would not recommend the creamed spinach because it was completely flavorless. I also wouldn't order the lobster mac and cheese if you're expecting plenty of lobster chunks, ours had only one piece sitting on top. The portobello mushroom was incredible, and the salmon was the best I've ever had--both were highlights of the meal. The arugula salad with pineapple vinaigrette, however, was just meh. My husband originally wanted the 32-ounce Wagyu beef steak, but our waiter said they had run out, so he had to upgrade to the 40-ounce portion. Honestly, how does a steakhouse run out of steak? Unfortunately, the steak had a lot of fat and was just okay, especially considering the price. The parts where the coarse salt were sprinkled made it better. On a positive note, our waiter, T, was friendly and attentive throughout our meal.

    This is a great casual steakhouse if you're looking for buttery, flavorful steaks at a good value. The ribeye was definitely the star of the meal. It was cooked perfectly and incredibly tender with a rich, buttery flavor. We also tried the ribeye filet, which was decent, but it wasn't nearly as tender or memorable as the regular ribeye. Next time, I'd stick with the ribeye or try the tomahawk. The sides were solid overall. The mac and cheese was super cheesy and satisfying. The Brussels sprouts weren't really my favorite since they lacked the crispy texture I usually look for. The crab cakes were excellent and packed with crab meat. The fries were okay, though I found them a little oily. For dessert, the watermelon soft serve is a must-order. It was refreshing and easily the best dessert on the menu. I'd skip the Kona coffee creme brulee. The consistency was off, and the coffee flavor came across more bitter than balanced. My only real complaint is that there's no air conditioning, so the dining room can get pretty warm, especially during dinner service. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the ribeye alone.

    Kristine K.

    Steaks were good and cooked well. Garlic shrimp lacked flavor. Mashed potatoes we added cheese and bacon however the cheese was so burnt to a crisp at top that you had to eat under it to get any potatoes. Service was slow, it felt like I went my whole meal with an empty glass. Overall best part was the steak.

    Wow! Went here for a nice family dinner and we were blown away. The steak selection is incredible. We ended up getting the Brazilian ribeye, crab cakes, baked potato, and Mac n cheese. Everything was a hit. My kids are picky eaters and they ate everything. The watermelon sorbet dessert was insane. I didn't think it was going to be good but it ended up being a highlight. Our server, Isabell, was great! She gave us a super cool steak cutting show and got our food and drinks out super fast. They validated parking for the lot across the street at the Hyatt. Up to 4 hours :) One of the better steaks I've had and great service to go with it. Highly recommend!

    Update review: 7/24/26- Izaiah is an outstanding host. Congratulations on him passing his Somm exam, Aloha needs more experienced servers for proper wine service and Izaiah is setting that standard. Disappointed to learn many of the steaks were not available but the ribeye I ordered was cooked perfectly and the table side service was excellent. This is my "go to" steakhouse when in Hawaii. When they have all the steaks available, it is the best place for casual dining with award winning steaks and excellent service. Highly recommended. Be patient during peak times.

    Great friendly service from the hostess to the waitress and everyone in between! Easy reservation on OpenTable although if you're looking for a weekend reservation I'd recommend booking a week in advance! Gorgeous intimate space with indoor and outdoor seating. Theres a bar when you enter with a cozy waiting area in case there's a wait. Since it wasn't too busy on a Tuesday we got to decide where to sit and decided to do outdoor and it was perfect. Now for food: The iceberg lettuce with blue cheese and bacon is a nice portion for two. Fries are a MUST. They are fried with beef tallow and were so yummy! Ribeye was great to share for two (could even be shared by 4) it was huge! They bring it out sizzling on a hot plate and cut it infront of you with their house butter to top it off and my goodness it was perfect!! The Lobster mac and cheese was a 10/10!!! The noodles were cooked al dente and the lobster/cheese was so creamy and delicious! It never curdled and was a highlight aside from the ribeye. It's the perfect portion for 2-3! If you're going to get any side... this is the one. Trust me! Now for the two items that knocked a star off the rating: the shrimp and asparagus. Honestly the shrimp was awful. The skin was soggy like it sat in the garlic for too long and then recooked a few times (I'm sure it wasn't but the texture and chewy-likeness felt like it). It was literally inedible. We took a bite out of one and couldn't stomach the rest. The asparagus seemed like it was pre-boiled (or possibly just over steamed), topped with cheese and then used a kitchen torch to give it a little crisp or just sat under a heat lamp for hours. They were also inedible. Given they were the only two disappoints I'd say the most important thing is the steak and for that this place is worth a try! They are reasonably priced for a steakhouse and service was friendly.

    Service was great and the ambience was really nice. My brother and I absolutely devoured everything in front of us--from the bone marrow to the bacon Brussels sprouts to a big, juicy ribeye. Plates were cleared. No survivors. The mashed potatoes were excellent, and those big ol' shrimp? So good. The only thing we didn't love was the corn--but honestly, when everything else is a 10 out of 10, that's a minor detail. We'd absolutely go back without hesitation

    Watermelon dessert is very refreshing!

    I have been on the hunt to find a new steakhouse when visiting Waikiki. I saw this restaurant on a YouTube video & read a ton of reviews. I agree the hype is real. The food was delicious! I got a side of the garlic shrimp with my steak & can't wait to have it again! I had a wonderful waiter named Taku. He was very helpful & a true gem. I can't wait to go back! And try the watermelon dessert it's amazing!

    If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! We came here for a milestone anniversary dinner and S/O to Kula for making the entire experience. His service was the cherry on top of a great dinner We usually go to steakhouses for anniversary dinners, so we tried Aloha Steak House. Walking in, you're greeted with the soft mumble of the current patrons and have the bar area right in front with the tables more towards the back of the restaurant. It's an upscale, trendy, more on the causal side but perfect for the area it's in. We settled on the dinner for two + the Hamachi Cruedo after ordering a couple cocktails. We started with a Hawaiian Punch and Maitai, ordering a Lychee Martini that I didn't snag a picture of. The martini was the show stopper, 100% The wedge salad was refreshing, the stuffed Portabello was so-so and the Hamachi tasted sooo fresh The Picanha come out whole and is sliced table-side and sprinkled with a bit of salt that you can add throughout the meal. And the watermelon soft serve is something I'd come back time and time again! If you ever find yourself in the Waikiki area, please come here! I would've got an a la carte steak but they were all out of the tomahawks at the time of our dinner. I'm hoping we can come back and try out other options. 10/10, need to come and try this place out

    Thank you Isiah and manager for a great first time experience. We ordered the rib eye steak and filet mignon. Both cooked to perfection. Loved the sauce they provided as well. Sides of lobster Mac and cheese, mash potatoes, asparagus and wedge salad my favorite! Those little corn were so good too! We had reservations at 5:15pm. One of the first guests to arrive. Waiter was very informative and kind. Manager was great to stop by occasionally to check how we were doing. Great customer service! Thank you for the surprise dessert. To end our dinner. We received our bill and notice we received a 5% off kamaiana! Wow we are coming back again! So everyone living here go check it out! Food is Ono (delicious)! Mahalo again to your staff!

    We made a reservation here for 530, shortly after they opened. It was a Tuesday night and we didn't need it, the place was mostly empty. Our server was very kind and friendly the whole evening, the service was great. We had the T-bone steak which we split, the French fries which were perfectly done, and the Mac and cheese. Everything here was very good and we enjoyed ourselves!

    the first one was perfect taste.

    dinner for two special $160 comes with: * wedge salad * stuffed mushroom * baked potato * asparagus * wagyu picanha * watermelon soft serve added * lobster mac * bone marrow * 3 lychee martinis * rib eye cap total was about $330 before tip. (3 adults / 2 children). my son birthday and he wanted a steakhouse. my kids have expensive taste. first martini was the BEST i ever had!!! they add guava juice in it and was so good. the next two martinis wasnt as sweet, and color wasnt as pink so they actually added more when i mentioned that. thank you! the picanha steak was oh so delicious. definitely if your going to eat here, get that cut! service was great. and it was easy to make reservations online!

    I came here to celebrate my anniversary with my husband in July. It was our first time dining here. We usually celebrate our anniversary at a steakhouse, so we decided to try Aloha Steak House this year. We were seated on the patio area outside. It had a casual feel, which was a nice change of pace for a steakhouse. Our server, Justin, was very friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu. We finally settled on ordering the 32 oz. Tomahawk to share, mashed potatoes, brussels & bacon, side grilled lobster tail, and ahi poke as an appetizer. The Tomahawk steak was delicious! I love how they cut it table-side for us and added the butter and salt to our liking. They gave us two complimentary desserts for our anniversary! The chocolate brownie was nothing special, but the star was the watermelon soft serve. It was so yummy and the perfect way to end our meal! It was very kind of them to give us two desserts, which we appreciated! Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will be back! Thank you, Aloha Steakhouse, for the great meal and awesome service! Happy Eating!

    I love the soft serve watermelon flavored dessert with rice crispies  at the bottom and chocolate chips on top .

    Do they have a bar you can sit at?

    Yes, they do. It's not too big, though.

    Where do we park?

    Hyatt Centric lot across the street on Seaside Ave. Go up the steep ramp. Parking here is validated by the restaurant.

    Do they have table bread?

    No, at the time of our visit it was not offered .... garlic bread is on the starter menu

    Does Aloha Stake House offer kamaaina discount or military discount?

    They do offer kamaaina discount!

    I'm trying to make a reservation for this Sunday, 2/19 for 10 people at 6:30-7pm but I can't get through to anyone on the phone. I started calling from 5:30 -9 and no one answered. Can someone please help me?

    I suggest using the OpenTable app. That's the route I did. Hopefully by the time u see this message you already got your reservations. Good luck

    How big are your garlic shrimp -- size 16/20 or whatever?

    20 size

    Is there a contactless pay option?

    Yes, they have tablets that accept most NFC payment options

    We're trying to make reservations for Monday October 10? But open table says nothing is open.

    Looks like they are not booking for October yet. Try again on the 9/1 and bet you'll be set. We really enjoyed Aloha Steakhouse!

    Proof of vaccination is still required?

    No need any more!

    How do you reserve a tomahawk steak? Do you have to call the day of or can you add a note in the Open table reservation app? Don't want to miss out!

    Yes, the easiest way to hold the tomahawk is leaving the note on your reservation from open table, but please feel free to call us during our business hours! We also recommend… 

    Anyone recall seeing high chairs in use for toddlers?

    Yes, we do have 4 high chairs and 2 boosters! And also we have kid’s menu!

    Is it possible to order watermelon soft serve for take-out?

    Yes of course! Anytime on our business hours.

    Does Aloha Steak have a Dress Code for dinner?

    No dress code, in that it's casual wear. They provide disposable aprons for you to wear so the oil/butter does not splatter on your clothes from the hot sizzling plate

    Do they serve the Tomahawk Steak during lunch?

    For what I know I believe it's only served and offered at dinner time, but feel free to give them a call in advanced. Aloha 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

    What times are the lunch special in place?

    lunch service closes at 2 pm

We started with a shrimp elote special and the chicken liver mousse. The shrimp elote was unique and flavorful. The mousse was my favorite thing of the night. So rich and creamy and the cherry marmalade paired so well with it. Love that they provided ample bread to go with it. I had to try the la chancla cocktail - the mayo washed mezcal caught my eye. It sounds a little strange but it was very good and was quite strong. For entrees we got the carbonara and zucchini lemon risotto. The carbonara was really rich and the Portuguese sausage added a nice touch. Looking at pictures of it beforehand I was worried the portion size would be small but it's served on a large bowl making the portion look smaller than it is. The risotto had a refreshing tangy sweetness from the lemon. Both have the option of adding on crispy prosciutto for $4. We didn't but saw some that other people ordered and it looked amazing - next time! One of the servers there provided a great recommendation with a wine pairing for the carbonara and let me try a rose before committing. It wasn't something I would normally have chosen but it worked well and I'm grateful for his helpfulness.

    ...and I mean WOW…read more WOW. My friend and I walked past this place so many times, and every time I said " I'll never go in there. Probably fake, cardboard food. People paying for the name." Boy was I wrong. My GOODNESS. That food was some of the best I've had on the island. Including Signature. Including Asian spots with someone's grandmother and auntie in the back cooking. I was blown away. We tried the bar first - a mojito and an IPA. Mojito didnt taste like much but it carried me the rest of the evening. The bartender told us about their happy hour and invited us back. We decided to come back the very next day for the scallop sliders and lobster spring rolls, along with a salad. The scallop sliders was some of the best food I've ever had. My goodness. The salad, not on the summer menu, but one of their standard salads...phenomenal. The mango salsa from the salad was quite helpful to the lobster spring rolls, which didnt really have a strong leg to stand on. They were just ok. But the other items more than made up for it. Add friendly, prompt service and we'll be making that run again and again. So glad my friend convinced me to stop talking smack about it and give it a try. I'm a believer!!!

    I had dinner here a couple of weeks ago with my family and another family (6 of us total)…read more The setting is very nice (nice beach vibes). The service was very good. The restaurant is located on the upper floors of their retail clothing store, right in the heart of the main Waikiki shopping street. We walked over from our hotel, so didn't have to worry about parking. Given the central location, I can imagine parking may be a bit challenging. I had the roast beef dip, which I thought was good (4/5). Others generally thought the food was good (not great). Overall, a good meal and I don't think the food is the selling point of this location.

There seems to be…read moreconflicting reports about parking, but there is a limited designated parking spots on the side of the building that is shared with dry bar. The interior feels very nature inspired and felt like the menu followed the theme with Korean cuisine influences. The pairing menu was so good and highlighted each dish. Each dish was so impressive and well thought out. My favorite was the beef with banchan, low key felt like eating Korean bbq but in the most elevated way. It's been a few weeks since my visit but I'm still dreaming of the corn and black sesame shaved ice dish! Thanks for such an incredible time team members at Maze!

    Have had Māze on the to try list for quite some time as a few people I follow on IG post pics when…read morethey head to HNL. An old friend knew we were heading back and sent me an IG post where Māze x Bar Leather Apron were doing a collab on Mon and Tues. Sjnce we didn't have dinner plans, we showed up at around 4:40 only to see 1 other person waiting in line as we were searching for parking. To our surprise, there were 7 people in front of us by the time we lined up! Sadly we were seated at a high top table off in the corner as a lady took the last open seat. For this collab, they didn't have a ton of food items so ordering was fairly straight forward, ordered 1 of everything. First cocktail I had was the pepper-tonic which was quite tasty! Otsumami - consisted of 3 snacks (seasoned cashews, pickled cabbage and warm olives). Thought the pickled cabbage was quite tasty and the cashews were just so so. Skipped the olives since I'm not a fan but the wifey enjoyed them. Salmon - it was mentioned that this was the chef's signature dish but sadly was mediocre for me. The salmon had a very distinct flavor which I wasn't a fan of. Wagyu - tartare on potato paves which was sadly just ordinary for me. thought the tartare lacked flavor. Cheese - unique twist of what i was expecting. the flavor of the dish was good but wished there was more of a crunch to it. this wasn't hot when it was brought out so perhaps it was sitting a bit before it was served to us. Fries - likely my favorite dish for the night but sadly our order seemed like 1/2 everyone else's portion as our bowl was half filled while other customers were filled to the top. ended up ordering another order just to snack on while I enjoyed the imperial cocktail. Enjoyed the casual ambience of this collab but sadly not sure we'd come back for a regular set meal in the future. This week's menu seems to be more thought out and wished they had their "baked potato" last week. Will definitely head back to Bar Leather Apron as their drinks were fantastic!

    Solera is located right across the lobby on the 7th floor of the The Ritz-Carlton Residences…read moreWaikiki Beach. My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and decided to try Solera since we had a breakfast credit each morning. WOW is all I have to say. The food was absolutely incredible. We each got a drink--I ordered a matcha and he got a latte, and both were so good. For food, we shared the Hawaiian omelette, and they did not hold back on the meat. The service was top-notch. Our servers were attentive without being overbearing and checked in just the right amount, which always makes a difference. I would highly recommend Solera for both drinks and food--definitely worth a visit.

    The world food tour reconvened at Solera, in the Ritz-Carlton. The last time we dined here it was…read moreLa Vie. There were wine specials and I took advantage of this offering, choosing a 2023 Beaune Boucherottes from Louis Jadot. Our server (Malama) brought a 2021, which was great from my perspective. This wine sells for $180 and was listed at $177; what a deal! We chose Bone Marrow ($32), Beets and Strawberry Salad ($28) as our starters. Entrees were the Butchers Cut, which offered Filet, Ribeye or NY Strip ($70). I chose the NY strip and ordered Foie Gras ($32) to accompany it. Our other entrée was the Huli Hainan Chicken Plate ($42). Malama told us the Foie Gras was a mousse, so I asked her to bring it out with the other two appetizers. The Bone Marrow plate came with two halves of bone and four pieces of toasted ciabatta. The Foie Gras dish was interesting ... Three piped dollops of foie gras mousse, with three quenelles of a pineapple mostarda and a plate of Madeleines. The Beets & Strawberry Salad was a visual and taste treat ... It was my favorite of the three starters. The foie gras atop the Madeleine was too sweet for our palates; it was much more successful on the toasted ciabatta that accompanied the bone marrow. The NY Strip came sliced, with another bone marrow and mashed potatoes. The Hainan Chicken came with ginger scallion rice, lomi tomato chile, dark soy (which was very watery), slices of cucumber and cilantro. The chicken was the least successful dish we've had here. I give the executive chef kudos to add variety to the menu. The steak came with a container of miso bordelaise ... I thought it was okay, my tablemate didn't like it. I tried the foie gras mousse on pieces of steak ... It was okay. We had the steak and chicken dishes boxed and perused the dessert menu. I don't usually eat dessert so the decision on what to order is left to my fellow foodie. She chose the Flourless Chocolate Cake ($16); I asked for a cup of coffee ($11). The cake was rich and dense, almost like fudge. We boxed that up ... My fellow foodie has enough food for next week. What did we think? The décor is pretty much the same as when it operated as La Vie, except for the addition of black tablecloths. There was a pianist playing near the bar ... That added a nice touch to the ambience of the place. Service was fine but not what we were looking for. We gave Solera a rating of 4 (perhaps a touch under). We expect a bit more when the bill is $427.22 (plus tip).

Food is great and reasonably priced and served in good portions too. Because many other Waikiki restaurants would jack the prices up simply because they could, the fact Deck's price points are lower than the most and the quality is better than the most is awesome. Highly recommend it.

    We visited Deck for brunch around 10:30 AM with a party of 8 and had a reservation. Our server was…read morefriendly, although they were pretty busy with other tables, so we didn't get checked on as often throughout the meal. It wasn't a huge deal for us, though. The food was good! We tried the truffle fries, calamari, haupia French toast, kim chee fried rice, and braised short rib loco moco. Everything was tasty, but if I had to pick one dish to order again, it would definitely be the kim chee fried rice, as the portion was huge & tasted yummy. We also shared a few bottles of mimosas, and the iced mocha was delicious and perfectly chocolatey. One thing to keep in mind is that it can get pretty warm, especially during the summer. They have a large covered area and can cover portions of the restaurant that are getting direct sun, but if you're visiting during the daytime, I'd definitely recommend bringing a portable fan. You could also call ahead and request a table that isn't directly in the sun. Overall, we had a great brunch experience and would definitely come back again!
