We celebrated an early Father's Day dinner at Hy's Steakhouse, and the experience was exceptional…read morefrom start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the valet staff was quick, efficient, and friendly, and we were warmly greeted as we entered. The service throughout the evening was truly top-notch. Rutger provided outstanding service, and Captain Jonathan went above and beyond with additional attention that made our dinner feel extra special. The food was excellent, as always. The steaks were cooked perfectly and exactly to our liking. The Beef Wellington is hands-down one of the best we've had--perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. To top it all off, the Banana Foster was amazing and the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. As a thoughtful Father's Day touch, they surprised my husband with a special dessert plate, which made the evening even more memorable. Hy's continues to deliver exceptional food, outstanding service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to our next visit!

My husband has been going here for 40+ years but hadn't been in 15 or so. We showed up at 713 pm…read morefor our 730 pm reservation, and were told our table wasn't ready. They sat us in the bar area to get a drink. We were finally sat at 743 pm, after another family sat at a 3 top 10 minutes before us that had just arrived (the table had been empty the entire time we were waiting). Service was ok but not great. Empty glasses sat on the table for a while. Then our $210 steak arrived and it was overcooked- ordered it rare and came over medium. By this point, we were so tired we didn't want to send it back so we tried to chew it. Everyone around us seemed happy so maybe it was just us, but it didn't get off to a good start from the beginning for us. For a $400 dinner for 3, there are better options in town- sad to say.

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.

Went for their happy hour and you cannot go wrong! The prices are great and the food is delicious…read more It's gets pretty busy when HH starts since it's first come, first serve. So I suggest being there before 4:30 to be sure you get a table. They have select items that are 50% off during happy hour such as the tacos and avocado toast! Everything else is still a great deal! They have their own parking lot that they share with Liliha Bakery so parking isn't an issue. The restaurant is clean and tidy. We ended up staying a lot longer than we anticipated and had such a lovely time.

This place ended being our favorite restaurant of our entire Hawaii trip. So glad we made a…read morereservation because it can get quite busy during peak dinner hours. Their grilled chicken thigh was unbelievably tender, juicy, and had just the right amount of smokey flavor. It's one of those dishes that's so simple, yet executed perfectly - a must order. We also enjoyed either ox tail porridge, grilled corn and grilled mochi. The beef tongue was also delicious and cooked perfectly tender, though I wish it had been sliced a little larger instead of diced so small. For drinks, don't miss the lemon tower chu-hi topped with lemon sorbet. It's refreshing, bright, and pairs with the grilled dishes perfectly. We were already talking about coming back before we even finished dinner. Can't wait to be back.

I enjoyed the beef flank and the stew more than the rice bowl. But still good overall. We also like their seasonal/ special drink, not strong on the alcohol but refreshing. Nice atmosphere.

The shack is bigger. The menu is still simple. The steak plate is still delicious!…read more Yelp! wants me to say more but there's nothing more to be said. Steak, salad, rice for $17.00-ish plus tax and whatnot. There isn't any official seating but Steak Shack is on a landing at the Outrigger with first-come seating for anyone around.

Find this place next to Castle Waikiki Shore- walk the beach access path and its at the end…read more You can have steak, chicken or a combo. Simple, straightforward and filling- just what you'd expect from a shack. Beef is tasty tender and black pepper forward. Chicken has almost hulihuli flavors-marinated but not teriyaki. Fresh salad is a nice change. A few small tables with stools available, but all filled during lunch. So take a short walk and find a shady spot in the grass at nearby Ft. DeRussy. Just don't feed the birds!

Our waitress, Brina, was especially kind and helpful. She recommended ordering the short stack instead of a side of pancakes, and it turned out to be the perfect amount for everyone at our table to share. The steak fries were absolutely delicious, and every dish we ordered was excellent. The bathrooms were clean, and the outdoor dining area was beautiful and well maintained. This was our first time dining at Basalt, and we had a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be coming back!

There are a few tables,…read morebut the beauty of this place is that you're not paying for the ambiance, you're paying for delicious no frills prime rib, and if you're lucky, lobster tail too! We ordered the prime rib & 3 lobster tails special for $69.99 and fed three people (one is a smallish person). We ordered a back-up plate lunch with the smoked ham steaks that we barely touched, because we were so full. Most prices are under $30, and they have a great breakfast menu as well. Even though it was a busy day, our food came out in just a few minutes. Glad this place is still around. Can't wait to go again next time I need a cheap protein boost!

Haha, we're getting old ... we can remember when Ray's offered this plate for $5! It's now $12.95 but you get a huge piece of liver that's not overcooked, lots of thick sliced bacon and onions. And, there's carrots in the mac salad. It's a winner anyway you look at it. Highly recommended!

STRIPSTEAK is quite an experience!…read more Lovely ambiance and vibes; very calm and dimly light inside, definitely perfect for celebrations, anniversaries, date nights and more! Both indoor and outdoors seating available. We had chose outdoor seating; but we were not seated next to other guests. Service is top notch, very kind and attentive. Checks in but doesn't hover, no pressure to order more. Had lovely suggestions. It is definitely pricier than other restaurants. We had tried the Prime NY Steak and King Salmon which turned out to be very delicious and fulfilling. Although Stripsteak is pricier, it does live up to it's hype; perfect for dining or celebrating all occasions. Amazing service, delicious entrees, very memorable experience. Would definitely return in the future.
