    Definitely the spot for a night out or if you want to dress up and take pictures. It's a bit of a wait so either plan for a reservation or show up early. As a Californian, this place is identical to Joeys. Food wise, the tacos are a bit on the spicier side so be ware. My friend has no spice tolerance and could barely handle it. The pasta is absolutely delicious though. I would order different entrees and split it with my friends if that was an option. Lychee tini here is yummy but not as strong as I hoped it would be. We came here for a celebration and they gave us a free decadent chocolate brownie.

    Upscale vibes with great drinks , delicious food and a top model staff ! The ambiance is moderne and sexy with beautiful wood trim around. Escalator and steps entrance take you to second floor where you can enjoy the bar or dining area. Good service as every employee looks like they stepped off a surfing of modeling runway lol! I give this a 100/10

    Earls is one of those spots you go to more for the vibe then the food. The ambiance is super lively, and it strikes a balance between beachy and modern, almost club-like. It feels like the kind of place you can dress up a little, grab drinks, and just enjoy the energy of the night. Service was also really impeccable - attentive and very friendly. Seared Ahi Tuna: 8/10 - Tuna was very high quality and the sauce was really flavourful. Super unique twist on a carpaccio. Crispy Tuna Rice: 5/10 - Quality and Flavour was there but the portion of Tuna was really small. Rice wasn't that crispy either. Steak: 3/10 - Don't recall which steak I got but this was a big letdown. I almost never send dishes back but I did in this case. Ordered the steak medium rare but it came out well done. Not a huge deal but the quality of the meat just wasn't there. Fries were pretty bland as well and the salad was a letdown. Truffle Tortellini: 8/10 - Truffle flavourful really came through and was well balanced by all the other elements on the dish. Pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich, and there was a good amount of veggies sprinkled in. Honestly, my favourite dish of the night was actually the clase Azul cocktail. Super stiff but well-balanced and smooth. All-in-all, even though some dishes missed the mark, ill definitely come back just for the atmosphere and drinks and maybe to try more of the appetizers.

    Brunch bowl and steak and eggs

    This place was a vibe for brunch and happy hour, both of which they also have on the weekends. I had the brunch bowl which was great. Also tried the steak and egg and the steak could have been seasoned more. Those potatoes were to die for. The cocktails were great; favorite was the peach Bellini margarita. The waitress was sweet and knowledgeable.

    Fish Taco

    Came here for happy hour after seeing all the great reviews, and it didn't disappoint. I came with a friend and made a reservation for the lounge since happy hour seating is limited to the bar or lounge--definitely recommend doing this because it gets busy. Even with the crowd, service was fast and our server was attentive. Ordered margaritas and really enjoyed them. I usually don't like the strong triple sec taste, but these were smooth and well balanced. I made mine a double and it was perfect. For food, I had the Petite Steak Frites and a Fish Taco. The steak was lean but cooked perfectly medium rare, just how I asked. The fish taco had great flavor and tasty garnishes. Both dishes were solid. Overall, a great experience and a fun time. This place is popular for a reason--make a reservation if you plan to come during happy hour.

    Crispy Rice Ahi Sushi
    Erica H.

    Yes! Delicious! Great Ambiance! Friendly Service! Located in Waikiki across fro Mui Mui, near H&M, kitty corner from Gucci... you can park at International Market Place (I did not, I parked on the next corner in a garage I had never been in and was lost, but it all worked out...) and take the stairs, escalator, or elevator up to the 2nd floor. A great big area with a nice presentation, massive bar, great touches., to greet you upon entering. Great Korean style food options with awesome flavors mixed in with some random other options. All delicious. Seating is spaced far enough away for privacy. Dress code is upscale however, it is Waikiki so you get a little bit of everything. I even saw two women come in with bathing suits. WET BATHING SUITS !! I will still return and recommend.

    I've only gone here in the evening and for halley hour but brunch here is SUCH a move, they even have brunch happy hour! Got the eggs benedict, breakfast plate, and shakshouka. They all were delicious with great portions. They're also great with food allergies Per usual Earl's was vibey, beautiful, tasty, and had great service! Don't sleep on brunch.

    Chips and salsa
    Melanie M.

    I made a reservation for a Sunday night during happy hour. I'm glad I read the reviews before about letting them know you're there for happy hour. It's only in a specific part of the restaurant. We were given complimentary chips and salsa that I think is only given during happy hour. The chips were a little too salty. My mom and I shared the delicious truffle fries. I had a double guava crush cocktail for $10 (I think $1.50 extra for the double). I got the crispy rice sushi and my mom got 2 fish tacos. Everything was delicious! Happy hour prices are good. Service was great!

    We were a little hesitant to try this place at first because the photos people posted of the food didn't really grab our attention, but I'm glad we ended up dining here. My friends and I ordered a variety of plates to share, and surprisingly, we enjoyed everything we tried. My favorites were definitely the guacamole and elote dip and the pork chop. The dip was a great appetizer to snack on, and the pork chop was flavorful and not dry at all. We also ordered Midori sours, but they didn't come with cocktail cherries, so we asked for some. They ended up bringing us cherries that had been soaked in alcohol, which we weren't impressed with. The fans inside were extremely strong, though. It got pretty cold, and the air was even drying out my friend's contact lenses. I understand it would probably get warm without them, but lowering the fan speed a bit would've been nice. This place gets very busy, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time.

    Corn salsa and chips
    Kent V.

    Came here with a group of 11 during the week for happy dinner and drinks. The restaurant was beautiful, service was great and the cocktails and food were delicious. For drinks their guava crush (vodka) was delicious but didn't taste strong. This was one of their cocktails for half the price during HH. To order we ordered a variety of dishes. Fish tacos, steak fritte, seafood platter, shrimp and chicken dumplings, corn salsa and chips, birria tacos, etc. I had the steak fritte and for $17 it was a delicious. Meat was cooked perfectly. It was only 4oz but tasted so good with their truffle french fries. Highly recommend this dish. For desserts, we split a few of their items. We had the chocolate lava cake, hot, sticky pudding cake in the coconut cream pie. The coconut cream pie was my favorite. Overall it was a great dining experience. Was happy they could accommodate a group this large. They even brought out a birthday dessert for the birthday guy. Highly recommend coming for HH!

    Crispy sushi rice with tuna
    Lauren G.

    We were seated right where I hoped - near the windows, airy and bright. The live music seemed a little too loud. Crispy rice sushi had a nice texture, though I thought it could've used something to punch up the flavor a bit. Truffle fries came with a creamy aioli for dipping. Happy hour will give you a slight break on the prices.

    Spicy calabrian pasta

    Now open in the old CPK location, Earl's Kitchen and Grill in Waikiki is made for tourists. Tropical decor. No parking. Open air with no air conditioning. Ceiling fans were on high but on a humid day it's a bit uncomfortable. Escalator wasn't working. Server did not ask about allergies but other than that service was great and quick. I'm sure people with allergies will speak up when ordering. Place was buzzing on Saturday night. We had reservations but many walk-ins lined the sidewalk. Food was delicious and nicely presented. You can find something fairly priced on the menu. Fair vegan options. Broad spectrum of food but no clear theme.

She made reservations for us, which is recommended. You check in on the first floor and are then escorted into the speakeasy. I won't share much more, as one should experience it themselves. But the ambiance is dim, semi-private, on-theme, and cozy yet lively. There's a bar area as well as the dining area where we sat. Service was fine. We were checked on periodically, but the food did take quite some time to come out. We shared some pupus, off their happy hour menu. We got the Smashed Cucumbers, House Karaage, and Sinigang Fries. The cucumbers weren't spicy, even though they were listed as spicy. It was more oily, but still crisp and refreshing. The fries were perfect for snacking on, with a nice sour-savory flavor from the sinigang. The karaage was extremely big! Not too crispy like usual, but still meaty. We also asked for six, but only received five pieces. My friend got the Lamb Ribs as well, which fell off the bone, and she seemed to enjoy them. My other friend and I shared the Ulu Taco Flight. We chose Suadero, Pork Belly, and Seafood as our protein. I enjoyed the seafood; it was lobster. It was sweet and mild but nicely cooked. The aioli was a nice addition. The pork belly was fine; it was quite spicy, which was a bit overpowering. My friend who had the beef taco said the wagyu was great but also quite spicy. The tacos themselves were quite small for the price. Overall, if you're into speakeasies or curious, Vintage Books is worth a visit at least once. The food is creative, and the drinks are good. Glad I could come and hang out with my friends. Find them on the ground floor. Parking is validated in the building; give your ticket to the host.

To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.

I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way.
