    Oysters on the Half Shell*

    I brought my daughter here for her bday dinner. It was so good we came back two days later.

    Service was a 5/5 and vibes and ambiance was very nice. Our server was phenomenal. It was the food and the price for that food. I think it might have been one of the most underwhelming and most expensive meals we had on the island. Nothing was bad per-say but for that price, felt like nothing was extraordinary. All decent and solid. Just a very convenient fancy place with an ocean view at the Hilton if you're staying there.

    View from our table.

    Came here to celebrate my wife's Birthday. We came a little early to try the 3 course early bird special and the food was just okay. The service was excellent and the view was great, overlooking the beach. We had the lobster bisque which was fine. The boneless shortrib needed more salt as it tasted bland. Not sure what happened, however, even my wife agreed that it lacked flavor. Dessert was good with some passion fruit cake in a glass. My 12 year old son ordered the filet mignon off of the kid's menu and he said it was okay. Sorry to say that we won't be returning again, however, service was the best thing of the night.

    Beautiful oceanfront setting with one of the best views in Waikiki right at our resort. We came for breakfast. Great food, relaxing atmosphere, and the view alone makes it worth a visit.

    We were greeted as we walked in and seated right away. It was a beautiful ocean view table. The waiter brought waters and drinks quickly while we viewed the menu. We ordered the Pineapple Portuguese Sausage with eggs, Kanaka Omelette and a side of bacon. The sausage was delicious, you definitely can taste the sweetness of the pineapple in it. The potatoes were beautifully crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was nicely browned. The kanaka omelette was equally delicious! So much yumminess nestled into 3 eggs. It was a great start to our day.

    We booked a reservation for 3 on a Saturday night at Bali Oceanfront in the Hilton Hawaiian Village and had an amazing experience. We were greeted right away and seated exactly at our reservation time. Our waitress was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, checked on us often, and always made sure our drinks were full. We got the seared scallops and fresh oysters for our starters and it was super yummy! The three course dinner was amazing from start to finish. The lobster bisque and fresh catch were both delicious and flavorful. The panna cotta was the perfect dessert to finish the course. We were also given another mango lilikoi dessert as celebration for our graduation! Overall, the service and atmosphere made the experience feel really special, and we'll definitely be coming back again!

    We were staying at Hilton Hawaiian village and decided to try this place for breakfast. They only service breakfast th-sun. I tried the lobster Benedict which came with fried potatoes. Food was delicious and service was quick and friendly. Prices are high- which is to be expected when eating on property at the resorts. Glad we tried it but it's not somewhere I would go regularly for breakfast

    Prosecco, of course.

    Incredible meal pairing flavors and service with beachfront views. If you're in Waikiki, this place is a must.

    We originally were scheduled for a Warrior Luau on the island, unfortunately due to rainy weather it was canceled and we ended up joining some friends at this establishment. From the moment that we arrived, we were treated very well and provided excellent service from our waitress Bonnie that made fabulous recommendations for our meal and pairings. We were very fortunate and got a table looking towards the ocean. The food was delicious and we experienced a wonderful meal in a place with magnificent ambience.

    Beautiful beach front views. The breakfast was delicious. I didn't get to take many pictures because it was so good. The service was as fast.

    Oceanfront dining! Don't sleep on Bali Oceanfront if you are staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Amazing food, service and views! I had their prix fixe menu and highly recommended lobster bisque and catch of the day which was mahi mahi. Well balanced, good portion served with smashed potatoes and asparagus. Included a mousse which was amazingly light but favorable. Overlooked Waikīkī Beach. Amazing!!

    Big-Eye Ahi Poke* Flavor is amazing
    Cyndi S.

    We love sitting at the bar meeting people and our bartender. Michael made us custom Margaritas-Green Midori for my spouse and a Mango for me. These were perfect pairing for the delicious Seared Scallops and Poke. Fresh Arugula&Beet salad was a good palate cleanser. Enjoyed immensely and plan to return this week!

    We spent early Valentines dinner here, and left happy with our decision to visit Bali Oceanfront! They were very accommodating despite us being late to our reservation (Friday night fireworks, prepare in advance if you want to dine in a Friday, as the area gets very congested). Brian our server was fabulous, attentive and efficient. It's always great to be tended to without feeling like you're being watched! Everything was delicious and the courses were timed very well. Outdoor seating was nice especially given that you can see the fireworks from up close. Price point was decent considering it's in Waikiki. I definitely recommend Bali Oceanfront and look forward to returning soon!

Every single item on the food and drink menu is crafted with such robust flavor with so much dimension in each bite. The drink menu is unique, I had a cocktail I can't remember the name of it but it had plum something and was created by one of the servers there. So cool to see employees own work on the menu, he shared with us how hard and long he worked on the craft cocktail to make it perfect. Now this is a bartender! Would definitely recommend making a reservation, unless it's just you and maybe one other than the bar is mostly open seating I think. I got lucky and walked in on a Sunday night and there happened to be two open seats at the bar which i hear is unheard of due to the popularity that is this restaurant.

I sampled the Korean Chicken Burger? I heard it was their top item so I figured I'd just try it. It was very sweet and crispy, but I'm not sure how it constitutes as anything that would make me say "wow." I sampled my friend's fish dish and this was delicious and I think I liked it better than what I got. I wish that the side that they used for the carbs wasn't potatoes and maybe a rice option? They brought some sort of fried fish ball that had a pretty good spicy tartar sauce that everyone on our table was fighting over. Overall, I think the food wasn't something I would come back for, but the service was astounding - especially when someone on our table did not like the drink they ordered - our waitress offered to take it back and serve her another drink that she hopefully liked. Ambiance is very posh and dim - yet casual at the same time. We came at a lunch hour so not too fancy, I can imagine people getting dressed up fancy to go here at night though.

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws. Eyes always bigger than my stomach, we ordered: - Cornbread - when i grabbed it I thought would be super dense but really wasn't. I thought it was very corny and tasty. Lightly toasted. Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open. Bathrooms are not assigned which I'm sure can get gross, but is great to not have to wait for just the women's. There is a big stall which was perf since baby is potty training and had to go #1 and #2! Only thing missing was a hook to hang my purse and her bag. Great dinner...but if anyone is listening...bring back the shrimp and grits!!!

Inside, the food display looked sad, and the cashier looked completely miserable and unpresentable. While waiting patiently on the side for 15 minutes, I watched the kitchen staff preparing food. Red flag: they literally microwave their eggs instead of cooking them fresh. After 30 minutes of total waiting time, I finally went up to check on my order, only to find out the cashier hadn't even handed my ticket to the kitchen yet. She sent it back right in front of me without a single word of apology--just a blank stare. I cancelled my order on the spot. Horrible service, zero management, and low-quality food prep. Save your golden time & money and go somewhere else. Definitely not a place where I'd want my food prepared!

We came around 4PM and were surprised it was almost empty (but slowly it did get busier). Our food came with complimentary bread with guava sauce. It was really good! The bread is toasted, crispy, and buttery. Everyone in my party enjoyed it. We did not expect our food items to come in really large portions. I loved the chicken karaage! The batter was light and crispy with great flavors and had a yummy sauce drizzled on top. It also came with a scoop of rice, buttered corn, and Mac salad. Mac salad was delicious! Prime rib sandwich came with salad and au jus sauce and a side of salad. It's good but also very filling. I didn't try the burger or teriyaki chicken but was told both were delicious. After dinner, we ordered a few items from the bakery to eat on the plane. You have to take a number and wait for them to call it. I got 2 kouign Amannn, 2 Dubai coco puff, and half dozen green tea puff. The kouign amann is a circular croissant. I liked that it was soft and flaky and had a sweet, crispy glaze over it. The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs! I would come back to just order that! The top filling tasted like a thick creamy brown butter green tea-flavored icing. The filling inside doesn't taste like brown butter and less thick but still really good. Overall, they had really good food and items from the bakery. Highly recommend the infamous green tea cream and chicken karaage dish! Customer service was quick and professional though I felt like our server wasn't that friendly lol.

And she goes 'the bakery closes at 10' As we're talking every single worker hurriedly walks away avoiding eye contact. So I said again 'the time on the door says 10pm' her response was 'oh no that's wrong only the bakery is open till 10' Next day I go back at 9pm. First thing I ask the sever 'what time do you close?' Lo and behold '10pm' Again I never make it a habit but we would have been out of there before the other tabes were done eating. Long day at work and I just needed fuel.
