    Make reservations! View beautiful, service was amazing and they let us watch the fireworks off their private balcony after dinner! Kids pasta was a 10/10 according to her! Kids shrimp skewers on a sugar cane 10/10 according to her as well!

    MAHI MAHI BENEDICT

    Stopped by here for some breakfast while staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort. I did not have a reservation but they were able to sit our party of seven pretty quickly. I ordered a mahi mahi benedict as I have never had that type of benedict before. It was pretty good. It was served with some potatoes that were nice, soft, and buttery. My wife ordered an avocado BLT that she said was also pretty good. Many in our group ordered a POG drink. I was not familiar with that. POG is a juice made from passion fruit, orange, and grapefruit. Everyone seemed to really enjoy that. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive and the restaurant had a nice beach view. Prices were pretty high but that seems to be normal for restaurants in the resort area with the beach view.

    Breakfast review only! Bali Oceanfront is an immensely overpriced resort restaurant serving mediocre food pretending to be fine dining. The only thing it has going for it is the ocean view, but even the view is heavily dependent on where you are seated, and for my group of 10, we were not anywhere close to the view. They are also understaffed making it hard to flag down our waiter. We tried their Mahi Mahi eggs Benedict, Island Harvest eggs Benedict, Ube waffles, and Waikikian Omelette and everything was quite underwhelming. The poi English muffin too dried, hollandaise sauce too bland, waffle lacked any ube flavor, and the boring omelette overcooked. For an average of $40 per dish, I would expect some greens on the side, some sort of extra topping like ikura, caviar, truffles, or even some fresh herbs to bring umami and fresh aroma, and freshly baked warm and buttery bread, but all we got was very average boring dishes. The Hilton Village Resort overall is overcrowded, understaffed, unorganized with its renovations only superficially done, so I guess the restaurant is just a reflection of the quality of the hotel itself. For real resort fine dining at the same price point, even better view and real service, I recommend Orchids at the Halekulani and Alan Wong at The Kahala.

    The best food we've had in Hawaii! Everything was exceptional, from the outstanding service to the incredible food. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Summer, who took care of our table, was wonderful. She recommended all of the dishes we ordered, and every single one exceeded our expectations. We didn't regret any of her suggestions. A big thank you to Summer for making our dining experience so enjoyable, and thank you to Bali Oceanfront for the amazing food, outstanding service, and unforgettable experience. We'll definitely be back!

    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.

    Very luxe! The inside is elevated - literally as well as an escape from the chaos of the nearby beach. Our server was very nice and accommodating. What stood out was the chateau briand - very tender and flavorful with a great silky Demi glace. The shrimps were nice and plump. For dessert I highly recommend the Kona coffee creme brulee! Such a nice twist on the classic

    My favorite restaurant beneath the Rainbow Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village! We received a $65 Hilton dining credit and are so glad we decided to try it. They serve one of the best steaks we've ever had. My parents and my son absolutely loved it too. Traveling from California for our first trip to Hawaii made this meal even more memorable

    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.

    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 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.

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!

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!

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.

Even when we have issues with booking, the kitchen makes a mistake, or anything at all isn't perfect, the staff does an incredible job resolving the issue. The building is in a bit of a strange spot attached to a hotel, but otherwise it's a beautiful interior with lots of art, and a great ambience to it. They have a lounge area (ask for the lounge/box if you want to go there, where they have live music most nights). The food is always fantastic and high quality, with the prices to match. You get what you expect at fine dinning, and if you know what you're getting into, you'll never be disappointed and always be satisfied. Looking forward to coming back next time, although there is some question about the ownerships contract, which apparently might cause a change in the name!

The accompanying baked potato was piping hot, soft and yummy with the butter, chives, and bacon crumbles and sour cream. The only thing i didn't really like was the black peppercorn sauce that came with it. It was a tad salty. Otherwise, it was a wonderful meal at this quiet, old-fashioned steakhouse.

    We were in Pearl city and did a little shopping at Walmart and we got very hungry so we decided to…read moredrive around and we found this restaurant. We both ordered the ribeye steak, mashed potato, asparagus and fried rice. Both ribeye steaks were cooked to the exact doneness. The size of the ribeye steak was pretty big. Luckily I was very hungry so I finished my steak. The asparagus was very delicious and the mashed potato was very delicious too. Our server, Elijah did an excellent job answering any questions and was very attentive to what we ordered. When the meals came in. He even asked to double check the doneness of the steak by cutting it right down the middle and it was cooked to perfection. I don't remember the last time I went to a steak restaurant other than my birthday, so it's very rare to go to a restaurant and order steak. So this was a large treat to me. The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere with the lighting dim and the music very soft. This restaurant was very busy luckily we just wanted a seating for two even though they asked if we had a reservation and we didn't so we got lucky.

    We recently went to Little Joe's Steakhouse on Nimitz for a going-away dinner for a friend. Our…read morereservation was for 5:00 p.m., during the restaurant's advertised happy hour, which runs until 7:00 p.m. Before arriving, we had looked at the happy hour menu online and assumed those selections would be available during that time. We were seated in the dining room and ordered drinks, but no one mentioned that happy hour was restricted to a different seating area. It was only after we received the dinner menus, noticed the happy hour selections were missing, and specifically asked our waiter about them that we were told the happy hour menu could not be ordered in the dining area. By then, we had already ordered our drinks at full price. I think this is something the restaurant should make much clearer on its website and during the reservation and seating process. If a 5:00 p.m. reservation places guests in an area where the advertised happy hour does not apply, that should be disclosed before they are seated, or at minimum before they begin ordering. The difference affects not only price, but also the food selections available and the overall dining experience. Our group was actually a little stumped by the regular dinner menu because the options were much more limited than what we had been looking at online. I asked specifically about the Scallops Dynamite because I do not tolerate spicy food well. I told our waiter that I did not like spicy food, and he explained that the dynamite sauce could be served on the side and that the scallops themselves were basically seasoned with seeds. Unfortunately, even without the sauce, the scallops were extremely spicy. I could barely eat them. The heat was intense enough that I drank my entire glass of water and then much of my daughter's trying to cool my mouth. When the waiter came back and asked how everything was, I told him directly that I could not eat the scallops because they were far too spicy. He smiled and walked away. There was no offer to replace them, remake them without the spicy seasoning, suggest another entrée, or even acknowledge that the dish was not what I had been led to expect. That was probably the most disappointing part of the experience. At a restaurant at this price point, where many items are à la carte, I would expect the staff to be more attentive to whether a guest can actually enjoy the meal, especially after the guest specifically asked about the spice level before ordering. There was also a smaller moment that reflected the overall lack of attention to detail. Our guest of honor arrived wearing two leis, and the waiter immediately said, "Happy Birthday." He had to correct him and explain that he was actually leaving the islands. A more polished approach would have been something simple like, "Are we celebrating anything special tonight?" It could just as easily have been a birthday, promotion, retirement, anniversary, or farewell. I dine out and travel frequently, so I understand that not every meal or service interaction will be perfect. But several things missed the mark here, and together they changed what should have been a special farewell dinner. We will not be returning, but I do hope management takes the feedback constructively, particularly regarding clearer disclosure of the happy hour seating restrictions and how staff respond when a guest clearly cannot eat the dish they ordered. My advice for first time diners is ask where you will be seated if you're hoping for a full menu option during happy hour. The website is misleading.

We couldn't decide if eating it with chopsticks or spoon was better. With chopsticks, you might not get enough sauce. But you could taste the layers of flavor. With a spoon, you get too much saltiness. The spice hits at the end. The tako karaage were a little too chewy for us. Beef tongue was so tender. A definite must order. I dont think it needs rice though. We also ordered the late night nikumiso but it didn't come with an egg, which the menu said it should.
