If you are staying at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa, then go to M.A.C. 24/7 for breakfast and you can have the choice of a buffet or order from the menu. We were in a party of 5 on the Fourth of July and each ordered our own meal. Our server was Sandra and she did an excellent job working on a holiday and having to attend to the whole left side of the restaurant due to having lack of staff. In other words, she worked well under pressure. I ordered the loco moco cooked medium well with a poached egg and it was tasty and very filling, great way to start your day! So choose M.A.C. 24/7 for your next Hawaiian meal and aloha!

Strawberries pancakes  with whipped cream.

What an amazing experience! The pancakes with strawberries are fantastic! Exactly as pancakes should be ! Fluffy and golden ! The coffee was also very good.

Average food open 24/7. The edamame with ginger with fantastic. Rest of the food - just okay. The fish & chips was wahoo fish and served with winder (curly) fries.

Hawaiian Style Eggs Benedict

M.A.C. 24/7 is a mixed bag y'all. At least that was my experience. The Bad: it's hot as hell, both at the host stand and in the first dining section where my party was seated. No air flow at all. Not exactly ideal in a climate that was incredibly humid the entire length of my visit. We had to ask for water, which was refilled sparingly by dumping more ice on top, instead of any actual liquid. The service was abysmal. The host and our server were cold and unfriendly and put off the vibe that we were taking up their time.... by eating at their restaurant? Our server followed the food delivery robot to the tables around us and deposited the plates, asked if they needed anything else, but was nowhere to be found when it came to our table. In fact, several staff walked right on by while the robot shouted at us that our food had arrived. We ended up just grabbing them ourselves just to shut it up. The Good: goddamn the food was good! The ube pancakes were perfection! The sauce was so dark and luscious I wish I could've taken a gallon of it home with me. The Hawaiian Style Eggs Benedict is hella filling, you could easily split it between two people! The sriracha hollandaise really sets it off too. The coffee cups are big and they leave the carafe on your table. Would I return? Probably not. Those ube pancakes are THAT good that I'd definitely consider it.

Menu says any pancakes can be upgraded to mochi for $2, but it was $4 on the check.

Pretty decent. Service: 5/5. Yoon was so sweet and funny. Food: 5/5. I got Fresh Picked pancakes ($22) with an upgrade to mochi pancakes ($2? $4? See photo. Bait and switch on the price. I would've disputed, but the person paying didn't feel like it.) SOOOO good tho. I've never heard of mochi pancakes before. They were chewy, didn't get soggy like normal pancakes. Extremely generous amount of Chantilly whipped cream and fresh fruit (pineapple, orange slices, banana, strawberry, blueberry). I'm a big eater, and even with me eating my fill and 2 other people picking off my plate, I still left some of it behind. Def recommend sharing with a friend! Drinks: 1/5. Don't get espresso here. Cappuccino and latte were terrible. They don't have an actual espresso machine, only a Nescafe. I took 1 sip of the cappuccino and abandoned it. When I told Yoon it was terrible, she got me a replacement from the coffee shop next door. MAC 24/7 really should just partner up with them and get all their espresso drinks from there.

Ordered the healthy breakfast instead I got the bad for your breakfast oatmeal
Angela D.

How does a restaurant room service mess up breakfast room service so bad- truly ruined my vacation. The first time that they arrived, the milk that I required was missing. They brought up the milk and after they left I realized I had no silverware so had to call down again. So they bring me silverware of knife and fork- no spoon for my oatmeal. i had to call them AGAIN and they brought a spoon but by this time oatmeal was cold I had ordered the healthy oatmeal w flax- the new batch was brown sugar and bananas- NOT what i ordered. I finally went downstairs myself to get my food right and the manager asked what did I want him to do that? He's already given me a free meal. I said give me back the hour and a half that I went without eating that I needed to show some respect and some concern for the terrible customer service I received with him as manager. All the ladies who work there are lovely, but this guy was the worst. He did take this off my bill, but I thought that they could've gotten the extra step by actually being apologetic and getting me the items that I had actually ordered within the first two tries. I will never order from this place again. Hawaii is a once in a lifetime experience and this manager ruined my day.

I had the chance to dine at M A C 24/7, two times during my recent stay at the Hilton Waikiki Beach. I visited once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times, I sat at the counter. I had excellent service from the bartender/server at the counter both times, who was very pleasant and talkative. For lunch, I had the Kalua Pork Quesadilla and an Iced Tea, which was excellent. For breakfast, I had the Stuffed French Toast with a side of Spam, also very good. I would say the prices are good for the portions served and considering the location. Overall, it was a nice place, clean, bright and friendly. The only issue, is that for people sitting at tables they use a robot for delivery, which on one hand is very nice and convenient; however, if the server is busy --- you just sit there and stare at your food, as you are supposed to wait until the server shows up to retrieve it from the robot. That part is a little awkward.

There was no wait, the service wasn't bad. So that was good but I didn't know they stopped serving certain breakfast items at 11. We got there at 1115 and I couldn't get my omelette. Kind of the only reason I chose that location to dine. However, since we were already there and sitting, I didn't want to be rude and leave. We ordered mostly "favorites" thinking it must be really good.. sadly, it wasn't and the food took long to come out.. The kalbi is way too sauced, my son didn't care for it. The katsu was way overcooked, The corn beef wasn't anything special either, he said the spam was weird. I think out of my husband's plate, only the egg was good. He didn't like the fried rice. The Oreo pancakes were good, said my daughter. I enjoyed the chicken salad. Can't say that we will be back though for the price versus the quality.

Inside

My friend brought me here for my birthday. She said when her and her husband stayed and dined, they really enjoyed their meal(s). The restaurant is semi hidden within the Hilton, and upon arrival, you're supposed to seat yourself. We did awkwardly stand around for a while (although there was a sign in front), till a waitress told us to do so. After sitting we were provided menus and then waters. We got: - Mixed Plate (With Huli Huli Chicken and Spicy Ahi): My friend got this but I got to try it. It's nothing special but everyone was executed well. The chicken was more like shoyu/teriyaki chicken. If you've ever had huli huli chicken, this does NOT taste like it. - Fish & Chips: This was decent. I was just craving fish and chips for no reason, but to be honest, half way into eating it, it was getting tired of the one dimensional taste. There was 4 fish sticks/filets, they're fried decently well and crispy. The crust was pretty much separated from the fish but I think that may be intentional? The fries were also one dimensional, just tasted like fried potato. The coleslaw had pineapple in it which was a surprising twist. The condiments like hot sauce and ketchup helped saved it (combined with tartare sauce). I would say their portions are definitely decent, especially for being in waikiki. I personally wouldn't come back again, just as there are so many similar/exact alternatives within the couple of blocks radius.

Fried Rice & Eggs
Monica F.

What a treat! Our first breakfast in Honolulu- located in the hotel was delicious! They have a buffet but we chose to order from the menu - don't miss the spam and the fried rice! Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable! Would visit again

Ube pancakes with whipped cream
Dana I.

It was a great end to our staycation in Waikiki. The food was plenty and ono and of course, had lots of extras to take home for later. Coffee was fresh. Our server was extremely nice & helpful. She was a pro at packing the extras and also gave me a fresh cup of coffee to go. Would recommend!

My mom's friend recommended Fete and it was the best meal we had on our trip! I made a reservation…read moreon Open Table and we were seated as soon as we checked in. Our waitress, Alyssa (sp?), was terrific - friendly, energetic, and gave great recommendations. When Alyssa came to take our drink orders, I asked if the mai tai could be made on the sweeter said. She said it couldn't but gave me other recommendations when I asked for drinks that are on the sweeter side. One of those drinks was the meringue di cerdo, which is a drink version of lemon meringue pie (my fave!) and it was perfectly lemony and more on the sweeter side. My mom got an elderflower drink, which she said was just ok. I got the Cioppino and quinoa cakes. The cioppino had a rich seafood flavor that I haven't seen in other versions of the dish I've tried. It came with toast with romanesco sauce. The sauce had a kick without being overly spicy. The quinoa cakes had a similar taste and texture to falafel and were topped with avocado. They were delicious but a little bit on the heavy side. My mom got the beet salad and the cavatappi with sausage, both of which were specials. Though I didn't try the pasta, I did try some of the beet salad. Beets were cooked well. We loved the crispy shallots. We were full so no room for dessert! Only downside was the noise as we were first seated but it seemed to quiet down during our time at Fete. Would recommend/return!

He described everything with such care that it was hard not to order everything! I'd highly recommend a reservation as there was not an empty table the entire two hours we were there. The restaurant is on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but our table had great conversations and a overall lovely time. Appetizer: We ordered the konpachi hush puppies (apologies, they had a nicer name but this is how they were described to us) and they were delicious! I'm not a lover of fish, but these were so flavorful and the sauce paired perfectly with it. Drinks: I had the meringue di cedri to drink and it was akin to a lemon drop (10/10) it was sippable and lasted my whole meal. Husband had the Hana Koa Rice Breaker, which is one of his favorites as its smooth and pairs well with honestly anything. Entree: You will be missing out if you don't get the lemon risotto. I ordered it with the prosciutto and it may be one of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. The zucchini is done two ways in it: diced to be mixed in with the risotto and thinly sliced and grilled on top of the risotto. The panko crumbs on top really solidified the plate for me as top tier as risotto can get to be boring to eat after a few bites as they can lack texture, but not this risotto! Every bite was a journey and it was a very filling meal. My husband ordered the Korean steak and said it was better than some of the local steakhouses we had gone to. Our friend ordered the spaghetti carbonara and enjoyed it as well. Dessert: We were encouraged to try the Rocky Road ice cream and decided it was a must have when you visit. It was creamy, rich and delectable. We also opted to try the dessert special of the evening which was a Lilikoi cheesecake with a chocolate mousse. The cheesecake had a sour tang to it and the chocolate mousse partner with it to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet. We loved it and I know in a few days we'll be craving this meal all over again!

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws.

Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open.

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

The cinnamon roll was dry and hard, the malasadas were forgettable, and the haupia-filled malasada was surprisingly tart. It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day. The servers were curt but friendly, likely because the place was packed with tourists.

It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
