    Pork chops, my best advice to you is to go after 9 PM so you can get the deep fried pork chops
    Terry K.

    Forgive me Yelp! It's been years since I've written this review- pay attention as there are many changes Icon Joey sold his interest in this restaurant. The new owners renovated the restaurant. It is now bright with new furniture and a new concept. Do not expect the "Charthouse" menu. The menu is now designed with a local and island faire That said, some menu items remain the same. The steak and seafood are what you would remember of the original Charthouse. They now serve brunch. With a main brunch entrée comes a mimosa on the house. Kamaaina discount is offered Metered parking available at a dollar an hour. Structured parking is still the same. Go there or be square!

    Seafood Tower
    Peter J. H.

    We started with drinks, they have a great selection of all alcohol and some great original cocktails. I had a yuzu drink that was splendid! Then we shared the small seafood tower...it was plenty for 4 of us as an appetizer. It had all sorts of cooked and fresh seafood, a true splurge. I had the Ahi Mignon, a wonderfully fresh block of Ahi that was prepared with a wonderful sauce and seared just right...raw inside. Mom had the lamb chops, which were cooked medium to perfection. The creme brulee had the crispy crust and a soft creamy center. Our server was wonderful, very busy but always had time to dote on us. This is one of the few places that has that seafaring/Trader Vic's ambiance left in Hawaii. Just like the old Spencecliff Restaurants in Hawaii in the 70's and 80's, it brings back nostalgia. I know that no place is cheap in Hawaii any more, but this place is definitely now a splurge for special occasions. I hope I can come back one day and afford it again!

    Ribeye
    Kristine K.

    Went for dinner with my family and the servers were very accommodating when it came to our family needing to move tables for the baby in our group. The ribeye and prime steak were delicious. The edamame was supposed to be salted but didn't have any so we added our own. The restrooms did not have a changing table which made having a baby with us rough. But all in all food was good and so was the service.

    Happy hour food-meh

    Since my last visit, the Chart House began having nightly Hawaiian musicians perform. The first time I went a couple months ago,had a great time. However, tonight went with a friend and had terrible customer service. Our server, a Polynesian looking lady dressed in what looked like spandex workout clothes, was very inattentive and seemed to have a bad attitude towards us for no reason. We complained to the manager, which only resulted in the server coming to our table and telling us how rude we were to her, so we deserved whatever treatment we got. I was very interested in seeing a musician perform this coming Wednesday, however, I am not going to patronize this establishment anymore, even though it's right across the street from my condominium. The food is mediocre and the service horrible.

    Coconut pancakes!
    Max K.

    Really loved this restaurant! Came right when it opened for brunch! Brunch had a special for free mimosas with entree purchases so we got a couple and got to choose fun flavors! The short rib loco moco was recommended to me and I loved it! It melted in your mouth and I loved how orange the egg yolks were (you can order eggs cooked how you want, I just like a runny yolk). The coconut pancakes were also amazing. Full of flavor and perfect overlooking marina. Our server was really helpful and had great advice. The restaurant itself had a lot of fun character and still up to date. Makes sense to me why this is a staple of downtown!

    From our table
    Steve B.

    Food was terrible. Salmon was dry and overcooked, I had the Chilean sea bass. It was tough overcooked and chewy. Mash potatoes were cold. Green beans overcooked and soggy. Waiter was very slow. The only positive was the atmosphere was great. Table right out on the street. Overlooking the marina. Prices were high as well. I'm from California and I thought their prices were high. It's a real turnoff when you're paying top dollar and getting marginal service and food.

    Fried Chicken Wings
    Atiyyah S.

    Came here for a little date. Immediately was seated by a sweet server. Got our drinks fast and it was still happy hour and that was plenty for us! Everything was tasty and feeling and their mai tai is bomb! They were about to start live music too. I can tell they have a lot of regulars and I just like the vibe here~

    The atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant we happen to come in on an afternoon with leaf as the bartender. We were here for two hours, and he did not smile once he seemed extremely agitated and upset that he had to work. Christian was very happy and friendly and ready to make our experience fun. Drinks were great and food amazing! We really enjoyed ourselves!!

    Creme Brulee
    Irene Y.

    Pre wedding celebration dinner with friends. The restaurant was very busy and having to climb the stairs wasn't expected As an appetizer I ordered the shrimp. They were cooked perfectly and quite large! The lobster tail was incredible! It was steamed perfectly and was served with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. Everything was delicious The crème brulee was a bit mediocre. It was cold, solid and not very creamy. The top was not caramelized. Overall a good experience

    Ahi Mignon
    Sarah T.

    Chart House is a great restaurant located a block away from Hilton Hawaiian Village, with a nice view of the marina in front of it. Our party enjoyed each of our meals, I wish I had more pictures of how well-presented the food was. I was on a non-stop rave about my Ahi Mignon from the moment I had it to now; I've never had anything like it. The restaurant also starts you off with fresh bread. A couple of the people with me got the crab cakes and loved them, as well as the scallop and shrimp scampi. The food is the pricey side as it is in Waikiki, but the food is very fresh and very well made. The staff greeted us when we walked in and when we left, and were always refilling our water. Our server was Kris who was not only personable, but knowledgeable of each dish and various sides that you can choose to go with your meal. Definitely have this restaurant on your radar for your Waikiki trip.

    Happy Hour Kimchi calamari with the sauces on the side
    Safari C.

    Let me put you on to the happy hour at the Chart House, Honolulu. Been going here since I was a kid! And I'm so grateful that even with a shift in ownership, the classic dishes like the stuffed mushrooms, escargo and black and blue ahi are still heavy hitters on this menu. But pro tip is ordering the happy hour kimchi calamari. For those who are purists with their calamari, ask for the sauces on the side and squeeze the fresh lemon on top. Leave the sauces for dipping if you so choose. Comes on a bed of tempura veg and is just such a mountain of fun we highly recommend.

    My family and I went there to celebrate my dad's birthday. Staff were very kind, they made sure our waters were filled quickly and our food on time. I really enjoyed the short rib that I ordered with the garlic mash potatoes and green beans. At the end, we got ourselves a slice of the cheesecake for desert. Our server (I forgot his name but it was Hawaiian and I think it had an apostrophe after the second letter) was good and funny. Hopefully we can comeback again.

    My view
    Robert H.

    So this was my first meal during my return to Hawaii. I'm a sucker for a nice view and live music and this spot had both. I was quickly seated near a patio and had my drink order taken. I got the oyster as an appetizer and it was not what I was looking for and/or expecting. Definitely would not order it again. For my main, I got the steak and it was amazing. Right temp, good mash potatoes, and crisp asparagus. All in all it was a great meal and I would definitely be back when I'm in Waikiki.

    Chart house is opened now after remolding the restaurant.

    Where's the parking located?

    There's a parking garage in the same building that it is in or limited street parking. They validate your ticket so it a reasonable rate.

    How much is the food?

    It really depends on what you order and if it is happy hour. But low end is $6 and high end maybe $78

The hostess was so accommodating. I ordered a cocktail, the Ribeye steak and Caesar's salad with fries. Everything was so divine! I totally forgot the name of the drink I ordered but they have a nice pour and felt pretty good after that one drink! The best part of my night was the Ribeye steak and knowing that my car was safe in their designated parking lot. If you go down 9th avenue and make the right turn into the second parking lot, you'll find a few spots for The Cutlery. All you have to do is inform the attendant that you are dining there.

    The only word I can come up with to describe this meal is "Yikes"…read more I came here with a group of 6 friends for dinner. I was excited about the prime rib so I preordered. I ordered the charred Caesar salad and duck fat fries. The charred salad was odd, I think I was expecting a light smoke but I guess they were true to the title because it was charred. My prime rib was the standard medium rare but it took some cutting because there was so much connective tissue that had not melted, the fat hadn't melted either. It was just bad. I asked the server about the prime rib and she said it's supposed to have a lot of fat because of the cut. Absolutely true, but it's supposed to melt not be huge chunks. It also needed the horseradish, it had no flavor otherwise. The server was nice and took half off the prime rib. The fries tasted like a standard fry I've had before, nothing special. I tried the lobster pasta my friend had and it was delicious, everyone who ordered pasta at the table was satisfied which is great but this is a steak restaurant. The server was really nice. I wouldn't come back even if someone else was paying. But my dog appreciated the prime rib I brought home, so I guess that's a win?

    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.

This visit we came for a late Father's Day celebration. Of course we all ordered steak since this is a steakhouse! We made reservations and we're probably seated at 5 PM. Since we were here early, restaurant was not very crowded at that time, but did fill up pretty good while we were there. One thing that I don't like about Little Joe's steakhouse is that they have the music playing very loudly that it makes it difficult to have conversations over dinner and even give your order to your server. We ordered the filet mignon, ribeye steak, chicken tenders and had sides of potatoes au gratin, sautéed mushrooms, grilled asparagus, fried rice with steak, and garlic fries. The food is consistently good, but I was disappointed in my steak as I ordered the ribeye to be cooked medium, but the steak I received was well done. It was still tasty, but definitely overcooked. My dad ordered the filet mignon medium but it came back rare. This surprised me, because in the past, they've cooked their steaks consistently to order, but cooking a good steak to well done is a definite, no no. Our server, however, was excellent, prompt and very polite. Ambience 3 stars Food 3.5 stars Service 4 stars
