Service was prompt, friendly, and courteous. Ambiance was relaxing with a beautiful ocean view and the food was delicious

Came here with a large party to have a dinner. The food was okay. I expected more from this place from all the ratings. They had a special that night, either the opaca paca or filet with seared Ahi. The entire table had picked one of those specials. We got all the sides on the menu. The asparagus and green beans were great, they were seasoned very well. The opaca paca was very dry and chewy. The steak and Ahi had no flavor, seemed like they only put salt and pepper. The baked potato soup was one of the better appetizers at the table. Overall the service was good but the food was alright. read more

So, I've been here twice now. At first I was hesitant to go because of some reviews but I'm so happy I did. The first time we had Kris as our server, she is AWESOME!!! And our food was delicious. The second time we sat at the bar and had two bartenders (Tim is awesome, cannot remember the girls name, sorry) wait on us, both great, and recommendations were awesome!! I highly recommend the Malbec and the porter house.... YUM!!!! Can't wait to come back!!! read more

Came here for a work related dinner. Presentation was good. Food was pretty okay, but given the price, more was expected. Try not to come here on a Friday night because the fireworks directly lateral are very loud. read more

This is a great location and the view is to die for. So heres the deal, I was distracted by the little things. The green placemats killed me and took away from the ambiance of the room. In the center of the dining room is a beautiful statue that was used as a bussing station around the base for coffee cups and trays? That being said I hope a designer from Hilton will sit down and take a look at what takes away from a otherwise beautiful restaurant. The food was well prepared. Tuna carpaccio excellent! Filet Mignon flavorful and at temp. Potatoes au gratin were a little dry though tasty. Vegetables cooked al dente, nice. Lobster was moist and fresh. The chef is crazy about garnishing everything with cherry tomatoes? Dessert was a miss is was described as a tiramisu trifle. Besides the top layer of chocolate there was absolutely no flavor. Too bad nice idea. This place is a great to relax and have a nice meal. Our service was excellent, quick and efficient. I wrote the servers name down though lost my note, sorry. I would just say work on the details. It's always in the details! read more

A superb restaurant. Food absolutely delicious. Terrific staff. Spectacular open air view of the setting sun and the palm tree lined beach just below. We come every year. Ten in family. A special experience! read more

We're staying at the Hilton in our time share and as a reward for listening to a presentation, we received a gift certificate to spend any place within the Hilton area so decided to spend it eating. we chose this place because it was more expensive than we would normally pay for so this seemed like an ideal time to try it without worrying about the price. My husband had the Caeser salad which he said was very good and I had what was called a beet salad with goat cheese. Since i like both thought I'd give it a try. In my innocence I thought that it would be a salad with both ingredients. What it turned out to be was a round of compressed slivered beets with about a half inch of goat cheese on top. While it tasted ok, there was was too much cheese and nothing else had any flavor. for entrees my husband had a steak which he said was very tender. It came with a huge mound of mashed potatoes and some veggies. He said it was good but not to die for. I opted for Lamb which was listed as one of the house specialties. I got two nice chops but they had a huge amount of fat and were not particularly tender. Along with it came a huge portion of purple sweet potatoes and some veggies. Now I like my veggies crisp but these weren't even cooked making it hard to eat. For dessert we split a trio of creme brulees which were just fair. if it sounds as though we didn't like it even though I gave it four stars, we did but with reservations. the service was very attentive and the view wonderful. The bread, and there were three different kinds was great and the chocolate replica of diamond head filled with truffles was super. The food was good, not totally wonderful, and if we had been paying i might have been disappointed. We had to pay for the wine and I do resent paying $24 for two glasses of Sutter home Chardonney. read more

Of course it's very expensive. It's in a resort on the beach in Waikiki. The service averaged out to bring okay. Very good at first but slowed down quite a bit as the restaurant got full. The local greens salad was outstanding. Hawaiian cucumbers, grape tomatoes, field greens, in a vinaigrette dressing. The Opa was very good. However, the shrimp on the seafood medley was overcooked. read more

We were on vacation celebrating my father in laws birthday. My son ordered the lobster entree and unfortunately it was over cooked. We let our server know and he apologized and had the chef prepare another lobster entree. Jay Yada manager for Bali Steak & Seafood restaurant handled our situation in a very professional manner. He exceeded our expectations and made sure that we left the restaurant as satisfied customers. Because of Mr. Yada we will definitely return again. read more

This restaurant has some of the best food I have had. We tried the 10oz steak with crab meat on top, a specialty dish. Appetizer dish we had the cocktail shrimp. The brussel sprouts are delicious, with green apples, yellow raisins and pineapple! The cocktails are magnificent, perfectly blended! From start to finish customer service makes you feel welcome and they always have a smile. Note: to make reservations is super easy, can be on the phone or online. Friday is firework night so making reservations at 5pm, this gives you more then enough time to enjoy dinner, take sunset pictures, have a drink and get a spot to watch the fireworks. Enjoy!! read more

My (new) husband and I went here on our honeymoon. We wanted to enjoy a nice, non-traditional meal and had the set Thanksgiving menu. We both enjoyed ourselves very much. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the drinks were fantastic! This place is very pricey, but you will not leave hungry. (I did not leave hungry anyways - and I'm fat! Lol) Probably one of my favorite meals from the Hilton's village - the other restaurants did not impress us much. read more

For my fellow Yelpers who appreciate a discrete setting and knowledgeable local bartenders. Yep - you get both at the Bali Steak & Seafood House. Love the setting - sleek, professional and quiet, perfect for a business meeting or discrete date. Be sure that you ask for Steven or Tim - both excellent mixologists and super knowledgeable about the local restaurant/bar scene. The following is their current list of Honolulu hotspots - Scratch, Pint & Jigger, 12th Avenue Grill, AGU, Livestock Tavern, Lucky Belly, Pig and the Lady.

Had dinner with my family here. Was really looking forward to the porterhouse steak and live Maine lobster. They had run out of both. Super disappointed with that. Food was great but expectations are ruined when they don't have the food they advertise. Just not acceptable. Not on it Saturday at 8 PM. read more

Stay away. Mediocre food at best. Food variety is small, tasteless and they keep trying to push the steak on you. We got lobster and steak by caving in as the waiter pushed it. Lobster was tough and over cooked without seasoning or butter and steak tasted as if it was microwaved witu a sear read more

Sept 9, 2017 I have traveled far and wide for so many years, and do not mind saying, a very amazing cook. I know my food. This place was a great disappointment and the only reason I went there was this Hilton really does not have appealing restaurant choices (other than the brunch below this restaurant - very good) and I did not feel like going out as I was departing very early the next day. I started with the crab croquettes and a martini. Eeehhhh, 4, a little smaller than a golf ball, croquettes that were very high priced at $27.00!! They were crunchy and the inside was like mush with no taste of crab. Totally lacked flavor. Lovely. Main course, a 6 oz. filet cooked medium plus with a side of grilled shrimp. The filet was okay for taste and cooked perfectly but not pleasing to the eye. It appeared as if they cooked it in a microwave as there were no grill marks or char at all. I requested the additional blue cheese crumbles for the steak which should be served lightly broiled to melt on top of the steak. See the picture below? That is not how mine was served and that picture the steak looked grilled. NOT MINE. The cheese was served in a bowl on the side and again pricey. $57.00 folks for microwaved steak and cheese crumbles! It came with a glob of pureed sweet potatoes and a spear of asparagus??? Not sure but one taste and I was done. Have you started to add up my bill yet? The shrimp, MEH!!! OMG, the key word here is GRILLED people!! The shrimp appeared slightly boiled, was mushy, no color and had no flavor at all. Again, way over priced for 4 large shrimp. Not served on a skewer but on a plate with melted butter in a bowl. If I recall it was around $15.00. I also had the side of corn and tater tots. The corn was very good but if you screw that up then it would be too sad for words. These 'tater tots' were to be served with truffle oil and again pricey. Now I never buy tater tots but these were your run of the mill tots with no 'extra' flavor served with a BBQ dipping sauce. My server was not the least bit attentive and the personality of a flea. When he took my order he had to come back and ask again as he forgot?? Hmmmmm. I did complain about the tater tots and the shrimp which he removed from the bill but he did not give a darn. I had to motion for more water after my glass sat empty for 15 minutes so I think you get it. Total bill with less than 15% tip (well deserved for the terrible personality and service) came to $149.94. The manager chick who pranced around with her head held high (I was amused as we should compare degrees - pleural) should have checked on me as to why my bill needed to be adjusted. Nope - no interest. The other staff were friendly and the bartender made a great martini. The martini was $15.00 which is pretty standard and it is over-priced HI. Typically a good martini is $12.00 - $15.00. BTW - the reviewer who requested a seat by the window and implied he was not white nor Asian and did not get the window, so to you, I am white and I did not get a great seat. I am forced to return next year as my son and his family lives there but I will never eat at this restaurant again. read more

We found the food to be outrageously overpriced for the quality. My "fresh" ono was tough and incredibly overcooked. My husband's lobster ravioli was mediocre at best. Even the children's marinara sauce was under seasoned. I expected a resort upcharge due to location but this was over the top. Most disappointing dining experience on Oahu. The only reason I didn't give a one star review was the staff was great and the ambiance was nice as well. read more

Great service, delicious food, beautiful setting! Special evening in Honolulu made more special by our attentive server!

Made reservations, when we got there they couldn't find my reservation. Which I only made it 20 mins prior to arriving...made us wait about 20 mins. Then said she found our reservation... only to take us to a corner hidden off the wall table... mind you this is a ocean front restaurant with a LOTTTT OF EMPTY TABLES WITH AMAZING VIEWS... when asked to be sat at a table with a view ,they said they couldn't bcuz they are saving it for a larger party?!? Restaurant closes at 9. It's 8:45pm... asked for the manager, front desk lady is super rude... took us to to the front. Told us we would have to wait 20 mins for a table. When asked why??? There are 6/7 empty tables in that area. She rolled her eyes on me. Then 15 mins later she took us to the same table we had originally requested to sit at that was empty and was set up. But she purposely wanted to make things difficult. Thanks for your hospitality. Never will I go back. Other than their rude service, food was bland. No flavor in it what so ever. I spent $180 on A tomahawk steak that taste horrible, very dry no seasoning , asked for well done , ended up getting a medium cooked steak. Lamb potstickers were horrible also Waiter ( I forgot his name) was absent the entire time... whenever he was by the table his attitude showed he didn't want to be there. The entire staff just acted like they didn't want to be there, very unwelcoming, DONT RECOMMEND this place for your special day...Save yourself the money, go to a different restaurant!!! read more

Kris was AMAZING! We're staying at the Hilton so location was convenient. I was here with my family celebrating birthdays and my parents anniversary. The food was delicious, portions are on the smaller side. What made this experience so memorable was Kris treating us to 3 desserts and Leis! Cannot recommend enough the customer service here! read more

Amazing service all the workers were nice. Food was not worth the price. My friend ordered a $75 steak that was not cooked the way she had asked and the steak was lacking flavor. The one thing I would recommend to get would be the fish. The view was breathtaking but not worth the price. Would not come back to this establishment. read more

Food was excellent. Especially some of the dishes contained truffles & caviar for garnish. It is no wonder why it's pricey. Combined with the quality steaks & seafoods. My favorite is the Red Snapper dish. Snapper is perfect; not dry, very meaty. The caviar garnish & the wasabi sauce is a perfect combo & the wasabi sauce is just right--not too spicy like fresh wasabi, which is the way I like. Oh, since you guys are a fancy steakhouse, it would be nice to include steak burgers too for future menus. Though overall, good restaurant, although pricey, definitely worth the buck & useful for formal occasions & intimate dating. Perfect 5/5 from me. read more

We arrived 10 minutes late for our reservation so we obviously obliged when we were were asked to take a seat in the lounge before our table was ready. 20 minutes and multiple seatings passed and we still hadn't been sat so I politely asked the hostess if we could be seated and she very rudely and unexpectedly chastised us once again for being late. Way to make us feel crappy about even having reservations in the first place read more

A very good steakhouse. My wife and I shared a bone in Ribeye steak with Lobster. It was great, an Allen Steak is what they brag about. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was good my wife said she could make better. The cocktails were excellent. The ambiance looking at the beach was beautiful. read more

Omg! Where to start!? Awesome service! Awesome food! It was our first time and won't be the last. We were doing a little staycation at the Hilton with our kids and chose this spot for dinner, so happy we did!! We ordered quite a lot of things. Bone marrow was superb! The seafood curry dish--omg delicious! The appetizers we got were sashimi and raw oysters, very good! All the sides we got were very good! Awesome selection of wine as well at affordable prices! I'm getting hungry for their food just from just typing this review. I seriously thought our tab would come out to $700 and up from all the food and wines we ordered, but it didn't! It was half that! Bali, we will return! read more

Because of Covid, they are currently only serving a set three course menu. The choices are adequate but for $80 a person, I didn't think the quality was there. Also I thought this would be more of a fine dining atmosphere but there were plenty of tourists with shorts and kids. I should not have been surprised since it's located in the Hilton Hawaiian Village. read more

This was easily the most money I've spent on TERRIBLE food. We began with a nice 15 minute wait, even though we had a reservation. No big deal. The view is pretty spectacular looking over the ocean. Our waiter came by to take our order. Then he came back because he forgot what we ordered. We started off with the bone marrow appetizer, which actually wasn't that bad. It wasn't impressive, but it was edible. Then we had the soup of the day, a lobster bisque with kabocha. It came kinda cold, had no flavor of lobster and was overall just not good. Tasted bland, I've had more flavor from a Campbell's can. We followed up this terrible mess with our entrees. I had the Wagyu Ribeye. It was ordered medium rare, it came VERY rare. It was tough, with a large stick of unmelted butter on top. The flavor definitely left something to be desired. I couldn't even finish it. For an $85 steak, I really expected much better. My wife had an Ahi steak. The fish had no flavor and looked grey instead of that lovely pink color from a fresh cut you should see. The fish was definitely not nearly as fresh as was advertised. Our entrees were accompanied by a side of asparagus and some of roasted potatoes. The sides were easily the best part of the meal. Overall for $233 + tip, you should really stay away from this place. Unless you have money to burn on an awful meal. STAY AWAY. BAD. read more

If you like bland food, no ambiance, small portions, over priced , and slow service then this place is for you. We ordered the oysters that were $36 for a half dozen. They were really good in size and taste, however we had to ask for horseradish and Tabasco sauce. By the way the Tabasco sauce came out in packets. The scallop appetizer also $36 was (4) tiny what looked like bay scallops smaller than a quarter. For dinner, we did the gnocchi and the carbonara. If you want a bowl of soup and no flavor, order the gnocchi, if you want a small bland bowl of noodles, order the carbonara. Even the table next to us on their wedding night was asking to have things taken off their bill. Would not dine here again. read more

Felipe was great. He immediately came to our table and provided excellent service. He also educated us on wine.

Great service, but I ordered the carbonara. The pasta was over cooked , there was almost no prosciutto, and both the meat and the sauce were bland. Beautiful views, but the food was a very expensive disappointment. read more
