Service and Ambiance was fine here but our group overall was disappointed in our food. The classic Alfredo specifically tasted like the sauce was canned sauce and the sauce was super thick when it came out like the dish had been sitting out for hours. Do not order the Alfredo. For such a small menu I expected better. read more

We got a room at the Hyatt Resort and Spa to see the fireworks on New Year's Eve and took a chance on this place located across the street even though we already had some trepidations about typical bar foods in Waikiki. We should've listened to our inner food voice. Nearly every dish we ordered was overly salty, except for the onion soup which went in the opposite direction and tasted thin and watered down, with very little flavor. The dining area was hot and stuffy, even though we were seated outside on the lanai in late December. The building sits behind another structure that seems to block the trade winds, so there was almost no airflow. Service was friendly but slow. The one real standout of the night was the guitar player/singer, who was great and added a lively atmosphere. We sat right next to him and thought we would get blown out but he was a pro and knew how to keep it lively without drowning out the conversations. Unfortunately good live music can't quite make up for uncomfortable seating and inconsistent food and service. read more

Omg we came back for the superb service and great cocktails! We again had the Pinacolada with Malibu and Bacardi. So glad we saw our server from last time, Lynn, while Sarah was super friendly! If you want a local dive bar with friendly staff with great cocktails, and live music, this is the place. When visiting Waikiki, I highly recommend! read more

Food: B ****. My fiancé says it's okay. He had to order two rounds of shrimp because the 3 shrimp that came with his order made him sartorially laugh. My man is a large man and for a man that was starving, that was a small portion. The fries were nicely seasoned and my grilled cheese cane with cheddar and provolone - delicious! Service: B **** Our server had a couple weeks off and she was "getting back in the swing of things." She offered me having the grilled cheese sandwich the normal way or doing it the special way they do it with the cheese on the outside. I ordered it the special way and she brought it out the normal way. She said, "they made it the normal way instead." That was kind of funny because on the menu it just says Grilled Cheese sandwich and she is the one that offered the unique making of the sandwich but just left it in front of me stating it was made not the way we decided on together. Ambiance: C***. It's kind of boring per my boo however I say for people liking that island simple reggae cafe, this fits the bill. It's outdoor dining with very good interesting views. Dietitian Dorothy's tip: order a side salad to complement the heavy food here to make your 5 fruits and veggies per day! read more

Outdoor patio! The music was BUMPIN as we were walking by... so of course, we stopped by for some drinks and good vibes. I got the Frozen Piña Colada, which they can also make non-alcoholic! It was really sweet, but creamy. & they offer different flavors, like Lava Flow and Mango. Bathroom is a little sketchy, but did the job. read more

Went for HH on a Weds and got seated right away at 5:30pm. We got: 1) pina colada - 4/5. basic & good 2) margarita - 3/5. also basic 3) calamari - 3/5. didn't care for the breading 4) arancini - 3/5. just ok 5) poke crostini - 3/5. just ok 6) sliders - 3/5. bun was too thick Overall, it was just ok. Nothing exciting. Was close to the Hyatt so decided to try it out. Live music started at 6pm so not a great place to have a conversation. read more

Honestly the worst service and experience we've had in Hawaii. Menu looked solid and causal. I had asked about the rotating draft beer and the server wasn't too knowledgeable about it when I asked if the beers were light or dark. I asked the bartender who also couldn't really explain the flavor profile or type of beer beyond that and told me to ask my server again. Opted to not get any and got the daily soup. The server told us it was "spicy kimchi and wonton"- it was actually mandu. It was also somewhat lukewarm but I didn't mind. My friend got the fried shrimp app and she asked if her food was the one waiting on the counter for before and after she used the bathroom. The waitress said yes but was waiting on our other order. Makes sense why my soup was cold but then why not bring out all 3 at the same time? Everyone was kinda rude service and it took us 50 mins to get seated and served with simple apps from the menu with no alterations. As im sitting in the restaurant I wouldnt recommend this place whatsoever. Kinda a downer after having an incredible event with friends just to resort to buying snacks from ABC store read more

Everything was fantastic! Live music. No wait as we walked in. Asked the hostess to give us the coolest spot. She let me walk around til I found it. Thank you!!! We ordered our food within 10 min after sitting. Drinks came out quickly too. Ordered the kahuku shrimp plate. 1 scoop of rice, green salad tossed in a light Asian dressing and 11 big, crunchy, garlicky shrimp. There was some kind of butter-garlic suace under the shrimp. Absolutely delicious! Not too salty. Super savory. A little squirt of lemon helped even things out. The bonus to an already fabulous dining experience...our waitress gave us a 15% Kama'aina discount! read more

We were told we HAD to try the loco moco. DID NOT disappoint. The patty was moist, the gravy was rich, rice sticky, egg perfectly cooked. Accompanied by traditional macaroni salad, it was the best of two I've tried so far on my trip. There was also some salad Short walk from the beach with it still in view from 2nd floor. Huge plus, especially since we were still damp from surfing. read more

We held our class reunion here after the owner reached out and shared that he could do a fabulous menu - and it ended up being the perfect spot! We weren't a super big party, and its intimate setting was just right for our gathering. The staff was super friendly, took our drink orders and let us mingle for awhile. I was told they were known for their mai tais so I tried one.... And then had to have another. So good and unique!! Definitely a must try with their lilikoi foam! And the food was so good. Even tho it was prepared and sat in warmers for awhile (cause most people were late and were just so friendly catching up lol) it was all still so yummy!! My favorite was the crispy and tasty garlic shrimp, and I can't wait to order it again and eat it fresh. The fried noodles had lots of local favorite toppings of fish cake and spam, the lomi salmon had the most unexpected but made me think, why doesn't everyone do this addition of slightly salty limu, the slider was flavorful with mustard and pickle to spice up the burger, the kalua pig was slightly more exciting and delicious than normal too, possibly a slightly more BBQ flavor? I loved the warm ginger chicken over rice - the owner is part Chinese and I appreciated how it kept the essence of the local favorite with the ginger sauce, but was warm and over white rice. Finally we got cute mini lau lau, and the pork was super meat and well seasoned. Everything was so good that I ate waaay more than I intended to in the reunion outfit lol. It's a lil harder to get to than most places and ended up parking at the zoo... But it is also more fun!! There was live music, super chill vibe - it's definitely worth figuring out parking to get to pretend we're tourists and enjoy this local spot that's snuck away in Waikiki. Can't wait to return!! read more

This place is great! Great music! Great Service! Great Food! We stumbled upon this place as we were looking for another restaurant altogether, but got hot and wanted to chill. Saw it down the street and decided what the heck, let's go there. So happy we did! Sitting one story above street level with a fabulous cool breeze flowing through the place we sipped on some great Pina Coladas. Friendly wait staff asking about our stay, where we've been and really engaging with us. Every one was so kind and made sure we had what we needed. The sliders were really good and had a nice pineapple bacon jam to complement the patty. The crispy Korean Fried Chicken was so light, airy and yummy. My wife had the poke crustini and raved about fresh and tasty they were. Great spot and so happy we chose to stop by. Highly recommend!! read more

We were attracted by the live music. The place was half empty but it still took ages for us to be seated. We ordered two drinks and an appetizer. We drank our drinks and waited for our appetizer for so long that the singer stopped playing. We asked the waiter for an update on our appetizer and he said "Sorry, I didn't order it." We went somewhere else instead. Also, my fresh squeezed juice was itty bitty and tasted like water. read more

I had the fresh Marlin. It was cooked excellent loved the macadamia nut pesto. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich which was tasty but the bun was just a bit dry. The ambiance was great reminded me of the beach cafes we eat in back home in CA. Live music was great and not to loud. Service from Genesis was excellent she was professional and very attentive. This place is a great little hidden nugget! We will be back! read more

My husband and I stopped by this restaurant because we would always pass by on it our way to the beach from our hotel. I was not very hungry when we went so unfortunately I did not order much, just an onion soup. We arrived a little before 6 pm and so while we were still ordering, the server asked to give us the dinner menu since happy hour ended at 6 pm. We consented, and when we saw the dinner menu, it was basically the same food but more expensive (which is okay... maybe she could have just given us the dinner menu first). The onion soup was a little on the salty side, but quite good. I don't remember what my husband ordered, but I remember him liking it. For dessert, we ordered their banana haupia tart which I thought was tasty as well ! We sat outside (they also have indoor seating), so from my seat, I got a nice sunset ! They also seem to have live musicians every night. The night we went was someone singing covers on an electric guitar. The next night there was someone playing strings - that could have been cool to be near ! The service was only OK, as well as the food overall, hence my 3 stars. read more

Great local style food with a gourmet twist, I'm amazed by the portions and pricing. It takes me back to the 90's when eating out was affordable and fulfilling. I'm a huge fan and I also discovered that they deliver on Fridays if a certain amount of plates are ordered and inline with their regularly scheduled delivery near the airport, if I'm not mistaken. read more

This restaurant was only a block away from my hotel which was very convenient. I dined solo and close to the live music. I had the fish with rice (topped with furikake seasoning). And the server suggested the pineapple iced tea which was absolutely yummy!! My time here would've been perfect if it hadn't been for the drunk chick constantly yelling things at the live musician. But what can you do? It was dinner and a show for me. The musician was excellent, and bring cash for his tip jar. My server was very helpful and friendly and gave the best suggestions. For dessert I had a banana pudding tarte with whipped cream. DEEEEELISH!! I stay at the Princess Kaiulani often, so this place I will frequent when I'm in town. Well done!! read more

Leahi Bar & Grill - Fish with pineapple iced tea. - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

(+) Above the Moku surf shop, we stumbled upon this great restaurant for dinner in Waikiki. They were very accommodating for our large party. Service was good. (++) Nice menu, lots of options I wanted to try. Marlin was the catch of the day and it was delicious with the pesto macadamia sauce. The menu actually recommends available sauces for fish versus meat. (+) Live music was legit, definitely my era of music, but chill cover versions and the musician recorded live loops to build the instrumentals & accompaniment (+) Bathroom was downstairs and requires a key, it's a little bit of an adventure to reach it. There are a couple mini video game systems and monitors to play Super Mario, kids we were with and myself enjoyed that. read more

Extremely surprised my partner order Jhonny w black taste like " Diluted" like taste and one broken large ice cube we didn't ask they charge for $2 and I didn't ask double on manhattan cocktail he put Jim bean double and they also charged " kitchen fee 50 cents " as you see in receipt. I don't think bartender is bad person this bar owner doing buisiness like this state of hawaii liquor license dep should check it . And look like very unsanitary kitchen too . I haven't put bad review long time but this place is you need avoid . Only went there was couldn't find bar open this area on 10:30 pm but they ruin my trip . 日本人の方々が入って来てましたが、絶対に料金を騙されるからやめた方が良いと忠告してあげたかったが言えませんでした。こんなにお客にふっかける店は久しぶりに見つけました。残念です。 read more

Good food, great ambiance, friendly service. Not a lot of food selection but just enough. We liked all our food. We had two different poke, wings, and loco moco. From the children's menu we have the Mac n cheese. Portions were ok but not huge. Price was relatively inexpensive for Waikiki. There was local live music and both indoor and outdoor seating. We got there around 7:30pm Monday and didn't have to wait for seating but it soon got full. Will come again. read more

I stopped in here for a dinner after walking from the beach and was drawn to the live music that was playing on the upstairs deck. They have a limited menu, but it was posted at the door so you could review before walking in. Was quickly greeted by hostess and seated in a spot looking down towards the beach. The service staff was extremely friendly and the music was great while I ate. I'd maybe take half a star off because I thought my fish was a little overcooked than made up for it.
