Tucked away among the many restaurants at Halekulani is Lewer's Lounge, a cool and casual spot…read morethat's perfect for an evening out. I'll admit, it was a little confusing to find at first, but after asking around, we finally made our way there and I'm glad we did! FOOD Lobster Gyoza Four delicious pieces served with gyoza sauce. Each one had a nice sized piece of lobster inside, and the flavor was spot on. The gyoza had that perfect savory bite, and the sauce brought everything together beautifully. Open-Faced Baguette Three pieces topped with creamy burrata, prosciutto, and sun-dried tomato pesto. The combination of creamy, salty, and slightly sweet flavors made these a really enjoyable bite. DRINKS Mojito Hands down, one of the best mojitos I've had! It was crisp, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The bright citrus and fresh mint made every sip incredibly refreshing without being overly sweet. Definitely a drink I could happily sip on all night! Espresso Martini I normally don't order espresso martinis because, honestly, I haven't had many that impressed me. But THIS one completely changed my mind. Hands down the best espresso martini I've had! Smooth, rich, and delicious with just the right balance of coffee flavor and sweetness. I'd absolutely order this again. DESSERT Kona Espresso Tiramisu Of course, we had to end the night with dessert! This tiramisu was absolutely delicious. It came out in a fun, unique ball shape rather than the traditional presentation, which made it a little more interesting. The coffee and espresso flavors were rich and delicious, and every bite was so good. My only complaint? I wished there was more of it! All in all, a really good way to finish the meal. LIVE MUSIC Live music starts at 8:30 p.m., and who doesn't love a little live music with their cocktails and pupus? The evening featured a talented duo with a piano player and cello player, and they sounded fantastic together. The combination of piano and cello created such a beautiful, mellow atmosphere. It added just the right touch of elegance while still keeping the lounge feeling relaxed and comfortable. It really elevated the entire evening and made it feel like more than just going out for drinks and food. SERVICE Our waitress was extremely attentive and on point throughout the evening. She made sure we were taken care of without being overbearing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Lewer's Lounge turned out to be such a great find! From the delicious food and seriously impressive cocktails to the attentive service and beautiful live music, everything came together for a really enjoyable night. And as far as date night goes, this place definitely gets my vote. Whether you're looking for a relaxed evening with someone special, cocktails with friends, or just a place to enjoy some great live music, Lewer's Lounge has the right vibe.

The…read moreambiance is lovely and service excellent Why I demoted them a star was the pretty cocktails I saw in Yelp are gone. There's no: "Moonglow" (Benny Goodman) or "That was my heart" (honor to Ella Fitzgerald), so I asked for my favorite aperitif, "Dubonnet" , no. But, they came up with my other favorite, sambuca Mist. I have to agree with another reviewer that the French baguette served with the charcuterie was hard as could be and inedible. I did not enjoy the choice of cheeses as they were both of the same hard boring tastes, unimaginative, mix it up. They olives should be pitted. The tiramisu dessert was very delicious, even though very small, but expected--after all its fine dining. I have no other way to tell new manager to up their game in the food and beverage department. Just wouldn't expect Halekulani to slip in these departments. Also, manager never came around or was seen checking in his or her patrons, not very 5 star there. Just being honest. The complimentary valet parking was exceptional. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

What a great find. Aya Golf Lounge is so much more than golf…read more I'm constantly exploring Honolulu and trying different restaurants and happy hours, and this place genuinely stands out. It has an upscale feel without feeling stuffy. The atmosphere is relaxed, everything is extremely clean and well maintained, and there's so much more to do than I expected -- golf, karaoke, electronic darts, a crane game, food and drinks. The private golf rooms are huge and set up for different levels and types of golfers, and they also have karaoke in the rooms where you can simply pay per song. You could easily come here with golfers and non-golfers and everyone would have something to do. The food and happy hour are fantastic. I had the pork nachos, Maui onion salad and a dirty vodka martini, and my entire bill was under $40 during happy hour. For Honolulu, especially with this atmosphere and level of service, that is an incredible value. And the food was genuinely delicious. What impressed me most, though, was the staff. Koi was an absolute sweetheart. She paid attention to the little things and showed a level of care that you don't encounter everywhere. I was recording some content for social media, and everyone was incredibly accommodating. At one point I was getting warm in the corner where I was sitting, and Koi immediately offered to move me to the other side of the restaurant so I would be more comfortable. She was constantly attentive without hovering, and you could tell that she genuinely cared about my experience. Kino, the bartender, was also wonderful -- very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. He took the time to show me around, explain the different golf rooms and answer my questions rather than just pointing me in a direction. That kind of service makes a huge difference. Between the cleanliness, food, prices, golf rooms, karaoke, electronic darts, location, games and especially the service, Aya has created a really unique experience. Come for happy hour even if you don't golf. I absolutely plan on coming back. Koi and Kino made an already great place even better.

Thankfully, Michael and his team were able to accommodate us, which I really appreciated. From the moment we walked in, the place had a great vibe, the interior is beautiful. Throughout the night, the staff and Michael (the owner) were incredibly welcoming, funny and attentive. The cocktails were amazing. I had the expressing my love all night and even though the place was busy and there was a bit of a wait for food, it was honestly worth it. We had the crab dynamite, the ahi brioche, and the prosciutto and burrata. SO GOOD! My friends and I had such a great time and will definitely be back.

I've been waiting for this cocktail spot to iron out its flaws and become as good as it should be…read more Sadly, I don't think it will happen. That's a shame because it has the potential to be very good. When you start with a cocktail concept that is deliberately kept low key with no signage, and a drink menu that rotates and evolves, you have a pretty good floor to start. Having a cozy place to settle in and being able to enjoy food from Chris Kajioka should give 430 Pkwy a high ceiling. If you like an espresso martini try something a little different. Their Espressing My Love batches espresso with Averna, black walnut bitters, and a unique monkeypod syrup. Unfortunately, there is no espresso machine so you cannot get fresh drawn espresso to make a Carajillo the way Cafe Miro use to. The ahi brioche is a carry over from all Chris Kajioka places. The grilled cheese is excellent. Hotdogs are kicked up - it used to be a black truffled miso chicken sausage but the current one is a little different. The problem is the food preparation totally undermines the whole place. Without a separate kitchen you have frying being done just a few feet away from where cocktails are made. If you sit on the right side of the bar you will quickly understand why this doesn't work. I would come here more frequently if i didn't have to smell like cooking oil afterwards. Fix that problem and this place would rock.

Hawaii voice I had…read morean amazing experience at this karaoke bar! The atmosphere was lively, fun, and perfect for a night out with friends. As soon as we walked in, the staff welcomed us with great energy and were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. The karaoke setup was fantastic with a huge song selection and a great sound system that made everyone sound like a star. Whether you're a confident singer or just singing for fun, the crowd and staff make you feel comfortable getting up on stage. One thing that really stood out was the food--it was absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and way better than what you'd normally expect from a bar. The food alone makes this place worth visiting. Between the incredible staff, the fun karaoke atmosphere, and the delicious food, this place is easily one of the best spots for a night out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a great time with good music, great people, and amazing food. I'll definitely be coming back!

However... the prices are steep, minus one star. I thought I had to go the airport to pay $10 for a beer. Lucky me, I can get overcharged here in town.

The cocktails that are served are also extra delicious. They all sound super funky, but I challenge you to try them all. It was a mixed bags of flavors that cater to a lot of different taste buds. There would be one I really like, but my friend wouldn't like it. Then she would like the next one, and I wouldn't like it. It wasn't an overall standard, it was how the drink mixed with the persons taste buds. That was something I enjoyed. I could sit at this bar for ages and just have the bartenders make me what ever they want. Also the bartenders listen to options and keys that you like. I let one of them know I like a mezcal smoky, but give me something different then the usual. He gave this amazing mix that I honestly couldn't describe, but I for sure loved it. Can't wait to take more of my friends and try all the cocktails again!

Since I was in town, my buddy called me, and he suggested we try Adez in Kapahulu. The HH menu…read morelooked pretty intriguing (especially with $7 beers, wine, and well drinks), so off we went. They're on the corner of Kapahulu and Paliuli Street, with valet parking for $7. The interior decor and atmosphere was "interesting", fairly dark and intimate (deep purples and gold), but with some high energy music playing over the speakers; I'd have expected a disco ball to be shining over the bar, lol. Also, while seated at the corner of the bar, a little roach crawled down the side (I tried to catch it, but failed). They are a Steakhouse, so do offer several high-end cuts and preparations. One of them was their "steak coulotte", which is about 6oz of Picanha steak, served with a sizzling hot plate that you cook the meat yourself to your liking. A bit "gimmicky", since after a few minutes, the plate cools down, so searing the steak is more of a challenge. We ordered a couple of beers to start, which took a while to arrive, since their draft beer lines behind the bar were broken (we were told for months), so our bartender had to run outside the bldg and upstairs in order or fill our order. After the first beer, I opted for a glass of wine. Their HH pour was a Mondavi red Cab blend, which was pretty nice, but it was served at their room temperature, which felt like mid to high 70's (the a/c could use some help). On the second glass, we asked if they could chill it a bit, so they ended up pouring it over ice, then into the glass. Not only was it a bit too cold that way, but also a little watered down now. The food itself was pretty good; having tried the shrimp toast, the poke, and the bacon wrapped scallops. Portion size was a bit small (only 2 scallops for $22), but the taste and prep was fine. Overall, it seems like a pretty nice place for an intimate dinner, offering a nice menu and good service, but they do need help with the atmosphere (air con, wine fridge, music, and perhaps cleanliness), to really bring the level up.

Located on the bottom floor of the Romer House (on the left of the Lobby)…read more I stopped in just for a drink before dinner. Unlike the Chinatown location, this place is smaller but very intimate. Since it just opened when I got there I cant tell you what kind of people relax here. I liked it as its quiet and calm. Ill have to go back to sample there food and update my review later.

Sadly I hoped I could give it a better review but since moving from the downtown venue to Waikiki I…read morejust couldn't. Located in a hotel called The Romer on Nāhua Street in Waikiki off of Kuhio (closer to Ala Wai Canal) it is a smallish unpretentious looking building on Diamond Head side of Nahua. They have valet stand in front and validate parking for up to 3 hours. The valet wasn't very friendly when we walked towards him and usually they hold the door open but this one did not. We realize he's probably not part of Lei Stand staff but it doesn't make a good first impression. Walk into the lobby and directly to your left is the Lei Stand. It is brightly neon but dark if that makes sense, and very small. If you're a fan of when it used to be on Bethel St downtown then you'll be disappointed with this venue. No view to be had, dark drapes cover the windows (we were there at 6:00 pm) and no cute little lanai or garden. Tiny tables either high tops or rounds - maybe 10 total and a small bar. There was one tiny corner booth. The lost star was for this set up but also another lost star for NO MUSIC. Music is such an important part of a place especially a bar so we were disappointed and appalled there was only silence. Bartender said the music was "broken" so we turned on our phones to get something on our table. Then two girls brought in something to light the place up with some tunes so that helped. The final lost star was it is called The Lei Stand yet there wasn't a lei stand inside the place. When we asked the bartender where it was he didn't even know what a lei was. Then we explained to him and he said it is in the hotel lobby but you have to go to front desk to let them know you wish to purchase one. Another disappointment. Thank goodness I bought her a lei from downtown in case they didn't have any. The good stars ... Star 1 goes to the drink menu and how delicious they tasted. "Rub up on my belly" was beautifully prepared and so delicious I had to have another one lol I mean how could I refuse a second guava jam infused Tito's vodka??? Bartender prepared with cute little garnish and an ice stick to keep it cold! He was very nice and took good care of us. My friend opted for the "Clifton's Curse" - yes there's a back story to this drink- and enjoyed the cognac, absinthe, bitters and sherry concoction! Ono! Star 2 goes to the food or "nibbles" as they call it. Taro chips and crack dip were yum and a nice handful of chips not too much and not too little. Hurricane fries - to die for! Plenty of furikake, parmigiano reggiano and spicy aioli. The girls who brought our food were very nice and made sure we had what we needed to enjoy, bringing us waters too. They also had a smash burger for $25 but we had dinner rez later so didn't want to indulge but it looked good. It might be cute if you wanted to do a private party here and I noticed a room across with a beautiful large table set up for a private dinner - not sure if part of hotel or bar.
