Out of respect for decapodas I have decided not to speak on behalf of what occurred with the crab . Ahi Poke Nachos. There are all kinds of potato chips on the plate, all the ones you see at the grocery store, if you've been wanting to sample a lot of different kinds of potato chips this would be a way to do it without over committing to a whole bag. If you have siblings you will not like the freshness of the chips because you will just inherently think your sibling left the bag open. If you were to order a chicken sandwich at Subway and they were to add three different sauces from the squirty bottles and you liked it then you should definitely order this dish. Like a 6 inch yard bird Sammy from Subway with extra hit of low fat BBQ and a drizzle of the honey mustard also hit me with the zero fat ranch. Wait can I also get a dose of that ballsamic. That's what's on the chips. If you have never in your life had fish, like you come from a place on earth with no bodies of water and zero import infrastructure yet you've enjoyed nibbling the end of your pencil, you would gravitate towards this dish. The chips and sauce do come with eraser morsels. The staff isn't pretentious or condescending or anyone that would give you snobby vibes they're very relatable super normal folks. Like you would want to be friends with them if they were friendly. They are genuinely bewildered. No other way to explain each staff member other than bewildered. All of them. Not rude. Each person employed is confused and just reallllllllly confused about a lot of things. Before we could warn our friends who were also in town, they went to 100 Sails for one of their birthdays, a work trip but trying to celebrate, ugh so sad. They made note of the birthday while making reservations and the husband mentioned it in person and ZERO mention by any staff. Zero acknowledgement. So if you really want to have a sad birthday, this would ALSO be the place.

The indoor seating is nice but if you're lucky to get one of the outdoor seats, it's got a beautiful view of the ocean. The service both times was ver good. I think this is one of the nicest Sunday brunches anywhere. The cost is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it. The quality of the shellfish, sushi and hot proteins are all great. The selection may not be extensive as say a Vegas type buffet, but who needs more choices when what Orchids offers is so great? I would very much look forward to going back.

We have taken many of our friends, family and visitors here over the years to Sunday Brunch and…read moreenjoyed both Orchids and La Mer. To be fair, we feel the brunch is good, but dinner is overpriced and the portions are much too small when ordering from a set menu. We hosted a large party with 2 tables and we met with Orchids marketing 4 times on the positioning of the tables and when we arrived for the dinner the 2nd table was not close to the main one at all so we were not able to celebrate with both tables. The salad was fine, but honestly, it was a serving portion fit for a toddler. The bread was okay, not great, not freshly heated, a bit stale. The tomato bisque was too concentrated, though tasty, it should have been thinned before serving. The crouton was fine that topped it. The main entrees of seabass were tiny and dry and not enough sauce to offset the dryness --he steak was just okay, and very, very small. The proteins were not served with anything else on the plate which exaggerated the tiny portion and I heard guests laughing at the tiny portion in the middle of the large plate. Why not serve a green veggie or potato serving with the main? That is cost effective and the guest would have more food. I am a very small eater and I was appalled that the average person there would not have enough to eat. Then the coconut cake came. Tasty, but tiny, again. They cut less than half of the cake that we ordered and boxed the rest up for us to take home! Ridiculous! Should have cut bigger slices the first time. The math was easy and the guests were starving. What an extreme disappointment for almost $4000 after tax and gratuities! Come on, that is a terrible value and I suppose that is a venue tax for having a great view while dining on tiny, tiny portions. We entertain quite a lot and we will not book another dinner here as everyone had to get something to eat after the meal to fill up. I was totally embarrassed and pissed off simultaneously. Save your hard-earned money and go anywhere else and do not host a special dinner here!

I love their picanha style and the filet mignon. The lamb leg is a little rough and gamy to my taste. Server do check on you often and ask for your need, but the request does not always come through. We ask for ribs but never got them. Which bring to why only 4 stars, the meat does not come consistently, we basically took a bite of whatever was on the plate, then sit and waited 5-10 minutes before another meat type will come, but that might not be something you wanted so you will be waiting longer. The chessecake dessert at the end was good, so we will probably give the place another try.

And I realized after the fact we were charged for all 4. There is NO menu or mention of the price- they only give you a drink menu. On TOP OF THAT, the waitress didn't get our cheesecake order correct! We went home with dessert I didn't want, couldn't eat, and didn't want to try. Super annoyed and upset buy the cost, and wrong order. Second- it took quite a while to get some meats to make its round to us, while other tables were being served- and yes, we had the green side of the card facing up. We were constantly offered sausage and chicken for the first 45 minutes, we ate things from the salad bar to pass the time, by the time the flanks and steaks came our way, we were full. We tried to wave the meat cutters by, but they serviced the other table around us and skipped right over us. However, when some of them finally made its way to us, it was good in flavor and texture. We didn't see the ribs until the end of the night. Wish we could have tried that. But it was not offered to our table. Food is good, but being misinformed about dessert, and the waiting for food and our overall bill for the little we were able to eat... I feel cheated on the experience.

My favorite was of course the snow crab legs and their clam chowder, poke and their catch of the day! I went back for seconds on the snow crab legs because I can never get enough of it. I was not thrilled about their prime rib, pancit or ribs because the pancit and ribs had that 5 Chinese spice taste and I'm not a fan of that at all. I want my pancit to taste like pancit! However, their service was nothing short of fabulous. Their waitstaff was so attentive and helpful knowing that it was my first visit. Highly recommend checking this place out and going to the driving range afterwards to digest your food :)

We were enjoying having breakfast outside the terrace looking at the ocean. So relaxing and feel peaceful. Server was very nice and helpful. Thank you so much.

I self parked which was quite easy. When you're driving in to the location it is the driveway to the right before entering g the grand entrance. The restaurant is below ground level and you can enter it from the steps to the right of the main entrance to the hotel. The view is stunning as always. Everyone from the hostess to the waiters and waitresses were all kind and helpful. We went directly to the food that was offered. They had prime roast and omelette station. There was one person working it on a Sunday so the line was quite long. Possibly two people for a weekend brunch might help more. The food wasn't anything extra nor were the selections. We were quite discouraged for what they charge and what you get. Hotel food is a lot like airline food, however it would be great to have better choices. As I said, the view is what you're paying for and the service. Kahala hotel isn't what is used to and had lost a lot of that splendor and top of the line classy feel. I didn't take any food pictures but I'm sure you can find a lot with other yelp reviews.

I see the new huge poster out front, every time I stop at the bakery next door, the family meal with 6 items sounds great, reasonable. I decided to make it easy for me with few stops to grab this for Super Bowl Sunday. I called that morning to place my order. There are no photos of the family set on Yelp so Your welcome, if you decide to order this set, Please think twice, it sounds like a great deal but not. I/my family was very disappointed. I picked the 6 items, now keep in mind it says "Family Meal Deal" when you get your items, family - ? don't think it will be enough to feed your family depending on how many is in your family. I got the 6 items for $55.95 and paid $8. for Chow fun. The 6 item choice I picked were : fish filet ( got the wrong order) roast duck, string beans, ginger chicken, sweet sour pork, and chicken wings. What a surprise when I opened up the bag to set up for our Super Bowl spread, they were cute little take out containers like the kind you would use for leftovers at the Chinese restaurant. They weren't even filled to the top. It was little like sample dishes. Wow. also the food did not taste fresh, all the food I got tasted like they were reheated, except for the chicken wings. The chow fun was a regular portion but it was on the oily side. I hope Hawaii99 Take Out Express takes down the huge poster in front, its very misleading and false advertisement. I have another review to write regarding my family dinners, this will be continued- will update. I just want to get this out there in case you want to get the family meal deal. Its really a joke! Luckily we had other foods at the Super Bowl gathering and also ordered pizza last minute. Sorry family, I am pretty much mad at myself, I outsmarted myself again. ** see my photo of what they call a "family meal deal" in tips**

The Dry Beef Chow Fun was very good and tasty and the noodles were on the thicker side not really thin like some other places, the beef was tender and good size slices. The portion size of the dish could feed 3 maybe 4. The cold Ginger Chicken was also very good and tasty and the flavor was really good and it wasn't overly salty. The Spring beans were cooked just right not over cooked and the flavor was different, but very good and the pork was sliced and the taste was really good. You can bring in your own BYOB! The restroom are outside of the restaurant and shared by all the business there, sadly in the men's restroom looked like a person was living there with some clothes and a dog bed and a packages of personal belongings scattered all over the bathroom floor. They said the tell the management and custodians, but somehow cannot keep who ever is living in there even with a key system they have to use the restroom. Overall the food is great!

This location opens at 4pm and does not take any reservations but we had very little wait, 25 minutes, even arriving at 4:05pm with a line already formed. While waiting for our table we made our way down to the garden and walked around and enjoyed the turtles and fish in the little lake they have. This is a great photo opportunity. Once our table was ready we were seated and our server came over quickly to get our drink orders and any appetizers we wanted to put in. Their poke and island ceviche were delicious. They also provide complimentary bread with guava butter that was amazing. Since I was celebrating my birthday I decided to go for the prime rib that many have compared to a steak out of the prehistoric era. It was cooked perfectly and the potatoes and green beans were great sides. This will definitely be a place I return to with friends and family due to how great the service was and the beautiful view and delicious food. The best part of the night was the Liliko'i Crème Brulee. I cannot wait to go back for more.
