We had an amazing dinner for our last dinner in Hawaii. Ian, our server, was the best. Amazing food, service and fireworks over the skyline. Can't wait return! read more

Quiora is one of those solid restaurants that no matter how much time has passed you will always feel like it's your first time. What with the beautiful view, the amazing service, great wine selection, and delicious food- Quiora is the place to be. I've dined here many times, but each time I come back, I swear it gets better and better. Quiora is located at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Waikiki but I like that it's not deep in Waikiki and so you don't need to sit through too much traffic to get there. The restaurant is gorgeous- the view of the ocean and the soft breeze just make you feel like you're dining in luxury. We recently visited because I saw that they updated their menu and really wanted to try it. We ordered: Hokkaido Uni + Crab Arancini - A MUST order. The uni is so fresh and goes great with the fried arancini. Omg. And they are so generous with how much uni they give too. Delicious!! Camille's Grilled Spanish Octopus - Also a huge hit for me. The octopus was cooked perfectly and was so tender. Bucatini alle Vongole - Look at my photo. Seriously. Do you see how many clams there are?!?! It's amazing!!! I've never had so many clams in a clam pasta - usually there's maybe 5 or 6, I swear there was like 20 clams (not that I'm complaining!). I probably could have shared this with my husband with how big the portion was. Totally worth the price. Clams were also cooked to perfection and the pasta was so tasty. Mountain View Farms Pork Chop - Really yummy. My husband really loved it and said the pork chop was also cooked great. I would repeat this menu again if I can the next time I come visit. That's how good it was. The portions were awesome, and the ambiance is just so romantic. Even though they were busy when we visited, our server was super attentive and made us feel cared for. I would 100% recommend Quiora if you're looking for a beautiful restaurant with amazing food to visit! read more

Great price for a brunch on Mother's Day for kupuna. Food was adequate. Crab claws were small, but sweet. Unfortunately prime rib served very rare or raw, and I couldn't eat it. Nice outdoor brunch with delicious desserts. Not a large variety of entrees...but great for the occasion. Mom was happy and enjoyed herself, which is all that counts. read more

Let me begin by saying thank you Ian for taking good care of us. Our family appreciates your professionalism. The food is prepared very well and the desserts are refreshingly on point with the main courses. From when we checked in to dine we were greeted by Ljubica and she immediately made us feel at home and relaxed and much needed after a long day of activities. Overall, we recommend going to Quiora for sure. Ambiance is perfect. read more

Went there for the early Valentine's Day celebration. This was my first visit to the Ritz-Carlton Residences Waikiki Beach, and I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the property was. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and windy that day, but I can imagine the view from the deck and swimming pools would be absolutely stunning in nicer weather. The restaurant is located at the far end of the deck by the pool and seems mostly open-air, so it could get quite sunny and hot depending on the day. Since it was chilly and windy during our visit, we dressed accordingly. We started with cocktails -- "Pray For Sets" for my SO and "For The Girls" for me. While we weren't particularly impressed with the flavors, the presentation was beautiful. For the appetizer, we ordered the Hokkaido Uni and Crab Arancini. They were adorable and the uni was tasty, but I didn't really taste much crab. Next, we had the Bucatini alle Vongole. I immediately noticed that the pasta tasted house-made and confirmed with our waiter, Chris, who provided wonderful service throughout the meal. The dish was absolutely delicious and cooked al dente, though there was a bit too much cheese for my liking. We also ordered the Brussels Sprouts Fritti, which were decent. For the main course, we had the Snake River Farms American Wagyu Steak with sides of grilled broccolini and garlic-braised kale. The quality of the steak was excellent and the doneness was perfect. We requested medium and it came out slightly closer to medium-rare, but we actually preferred that over an overcooked steak. Overall, I really enjoyed this place -- wonderful views, delicious food, and great service. I'd definitely love to visit again in the future. read more

The uni pasta altered my brain chemistry! Silky, buttery, rich perfection. Easily the best pasta I've had on island and I'm still thinking about it. Beet Carpaccio was amazing as well! They were out of pappardelle noodles for the lamb so we subbed for bucatini, it wasn't my favorite but I'm sure is much better with the intended noodles. Service and ambiance were top tier! read more

This is actually our second time trying to go to Quiora and thankfully we were successful (first time they were booked out for an event). Quiora is located in the lobby floor of the Ritz Carlton. You can pull into the area and there would be complimentary valet available (although you should always tip). Upon arriving at the lobby, you'd see the front desk to your left and the restaurant Solera to your right. Walk forwards past the front desk and turn to your left. If you do get a bit lost, I would recommend asking one of the attendees at the front desk. It is weird that they do not signage guiding any guests to Quiora. We had a reservation and they were fairly slow so we were seated quite quickly. I would note that I am slightly disappointed with the seating. We were against the room which was hosting an event this night (see-through glass). I feel like I would definitely preferred to sit more near the balcony for the view and separation. We got: * Smoked Ahi Dip: 8.2/10. I liked the dip it was very flavorful and had a nice smokey and creamy fish flavor. I am NOT culinary expert but I feel that if the bread was toasted it would significantly improve this dish, as it would add on a textural difference between the bread and dip/ * Dry-Aged Bone in Ribeye: 8.7/10. The waiter said this and the appetizer would be plenty of food for us as we inquired if we should get another entrée. He was definitely right, as we were stuffed by the end of the meal. o The steak was flavorful and done perfectly (medium rare) o The asparagus underneath the steak soaked up all of the juices and flavor and was a delicious pairing o The gratin was creamy and hit the spot for something cheesy. o The mushroom side was ok at first, but as it got cold it got really gross (taste and smell). They need to season the mushrooms underneath a bit more. It tasted like very lightly salted bland mushrooms. The service was okay, weren't busy at all (2 other parties and 1 event hosted) and we got there at ~6:20 for some reason they were out of the uni arancinos which I really looked forward to. They said they were making more of it (didn't they just open?) but then came back and said they can't? Very odd. Also the dry-aged ribeye took 30+ minutes. ALSO, I've been to many nice places so maybe my expectation was just set a certain way but we made our reservation for a celebration (graduation), so I thought maybe I'd get a little sweet treat. I did not... bummerrr I am unsure if would come back personally, it was just a middle of the road experience for a supposedly nicer spot. read more

We did the spring pasta tasting and loved it!!! The dessert was SO GOOD! I'm usually not a fan of coffee desserts but I absolutely loved it. The oxtail pasta was also really good, the best of the pasta dishes. We got the non alcoholic drinks and thought the pairings were very well thought out. My only complaint about the food is that most of it was cold. The eggplant cannoli felt like it had just come from the fridge, and the uni pasta and orzo were room temp at best. The oxtail was warm but I think the other savory dishes would've been much better heated up. We were seated outside and it was pretty cold. We went on one of the last nights of the tasting, so I think only 2 other tables were doing it. Our waiter was very attentive and did a great job of explaining what each drink and dish was. Overall great experience and will definitely be attending any future tasting menu experiences here! read more

I was not as enamored this second time around. The service was not as good as before--perhaps it was because there was a huge birthday party right next to us. The food also was not as great as I remember...we started with the ahi dip and had to ask for more focaccia. There were 5 of us, and they gave us 4 little pieces. Really? I had salmon, which was OK, but I feel like salmon is really hard to mess up. My daughter ordered some sort of vegetarian pasta dish and was disappointed--it was not what she expected based on the menu description--it was almost all sun-dried tomatoes and not much of anything else. Then we waited ages for a dessert menu and check (we ended up passing on dessert because it took so long). The redeeming thing is of course the sunset and view. read more

Food, service and views were amazing. Highly recommended. Ian was a great server that took real good care of my family. We enjoyed the entire experience. read more

Late review (visited in December 2025) my love took me here on a surprise date night + an early birthday celebration for him. Came for dinner and we enjoyed the night view. Excellent service, excellent staff. The food was so good we said we'd come back from the mainland just to eat here again. All of the cocktails we had were delicious, perfectly balanced. Good plate portions, shareable, but enough to enjoy on your own too. read more

First time hear. The restaurant is located in the Ritz Carlton Hotel. I had a taste for Italian cuisine. Thought we give this place a try. The scenery was amazing. The walkway was romantic. I order some spicy pasta. I had ground pork sausage in it. My wife had the crab spaghetti. She thought it was tasty. Quiora located in Waikiki is a nice part of Hawaii. read more

We went to the pasta and wine pairing monthly event and overall we were less than impressed. The only redeeming feature was the waitstaff was great. The waitstaff made me want to return. We did the 530 seating. We were directly in the sun the entire time until we asked to move. I was literally melting in to the leather cushion seat. The wines were very small pours, maybe equalling a small glass between all five pours for $49. It was not worth the price but the choices were very well paired. If we went again we would order by the glass, like the lady next to us. The prices per glass were not bad and the sparkling Pinot noir we had was lovely and only $18. The food was just ok, except the orzo. I wish that dish was on the menu. It was stellar. I looked forward to the carbonara but it was chewy and fishy. The price of $79 was not bad for the five courses. The timing of the pours versus the food was off for such small pours. By the time you got food, the wine was either gone or hot from being directly in the sun. read more

Food was great. Service was terrible. Did not once refill my glass of water. Many times we had to wave down someone to help us. After dinner we were planning to get desserts, after getting a dessert menu, 20 minutes passed by and still no one helped. Finally just asked for the check. The manager whom was very lazy. Never once tried to help out being the servers said they were so busy. Would not recommend and will not return. read more

Quiora - Wagyu steak - Italian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sweet, indeed! Last night we celebrated our 27th Anniversary at this beautiful outdoor dining for the FIRST time in the Ritz-Carlton in Waikiki. The staff were friendly and incredibly accommodating especially our hostess, server Chris and manager Preston. With open sky you can enjoy the Waikiki scenery and Friday fireworks. The menu was short but spot on taste and creativity especially with my uni pasta which included crab. Chris made special accommodations with my cuisine since Im allergic to crab which I am grateful. Loved that my pasta was Al dente and the creamy sauce was just right- smooth and flavorful and the uni added that special touch- "onolicisious", indeed! It was hard to save some for our youngest son to try later. My hubby had the short rib with lentils and veggies. It was so tender and full of incredible flavors that I had eaten 1/3 of his plate (yes, it was that "ono" (delicious)! Since we don't drink (much), we didn't have a cocktail/mocktail so this round we just chilled and enjoyed the view and food. They do have a full menu of incredible spirits so this a great place for cocktail hour with sunsets, beautiful skies and cool nights under the stars. Price point is expected since it is located in the Ritz-Carlton but not super crazy like other places I've been. It's a casual yet stylish (so no come with your bikinis, slippahs and t-shirt). Dress upscale casual and you will have an incredible and joyful time. By the way, check out their sister restaurant on the same floor for a more hearty meal and incredible dessert. Manager Preston escorted us there to ensure we got a sweet table to sample their yummy- Hashi-gori....you won't be disappointed! Bon Appetito! read more

Stunning views because the design of the patio / building construction is superb and gives you an unobstructed skyline/beach cityscape. The way they built the patio is like an infinity pool where you are seated at the "edge" of the patio in the front section furthest away from the hotel. Food was very good and service was great, very on par with the Ritz Carlton experience. Would def come back to eat here if I come back to Waikiki. b read more

The house old fashioned and buratta pupu were the perfect pau hana treat! A beautiful sunset view sitting at a high top table, great conversation, and the old fashioned here is really quite good. While the sun goes down, you are sitting directly in it, so be prepared. It is nice and quiet up at this outdoor area, Quiora is situated outdoors very nicely at the Ritz Waikiki over looking rooftops and the ocean in the distance. Dressy casual. Great service. Small but great menu options for pau hana. A couple of nice wine options but my friend and I both chose a cocktail. The buratta with arugula had a really nice, light dressing and was very delicious and refreshing. I was having such a nice time, other than our selfies, I forgot to snap photos of the food and bevvies, and only have one other to share . read more

I love this restaurant. The food is delicious. The staff is wonderful and the view is phenomenal.

It is a definite must stop while in Waikiki. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for my 40th birthday and hosted a dinner for ten friends at Quiora. To start with the positives: our server, Kennedy, was wonderful. He was warm, attentive, and offered great recommendations for the table. We especially enjoyed the arancini, ahi dip, uni pasta, and horchata trifle. Those were standouts. A few friends who ordered the pappardelle felt it could have used more seasoning, but overall the food was solid. However, there were several aspects that were frustrating. I don't mind paying higher prices at a luxury property, but I was surprised by the extra fees that appeared on our bill. For example, there was a $6 "martini upcharge" added to each $16 martini. Since we ordered several, it would have been helpful to be informed of this beforehand. We were also charged $6 each for sides of sauce and Parmesan cheese, which felt excessive. Ultimately, the total came out to over $150 per person, and the value didn't match that price point. We also encountered issues prior to our reservation. We originally booked for nine guests and asked to add one more when a friend flew in to surprise me. The restaurant told us that increasing the party size meant we would need to submit everyone's orders in advance. I didn't want to ask my guests to do that, especially for just one additional person. The back-and-forth over this became more frustrating than it needed to be, and honestly made me regret choosing the restaurant. Had I not put down a deposit I would have tried to change the venue at this point. When we arrived, the staff still seemed flustered that our party size had changed, which didn't create a welcoming atmosphere. For the level of pricing and the setting, I expected a more accommodating and seamless experience. read more

Came here twice for the lunch service, both times were excellent. It appears that there aren't a lot of people that died here for lunch, but that's what attracts me to this place. You can have a really relaxing meal with friends and not feel like you have to hurry up and eat and leave. We actually spent almost 3 hours here and the waiter didn't seem to mind the smoked ahi dip was a great way to start our mail. The pasta are house made and delicious. Valet parking is complementary for four hours. read more

The server didn't really know the menu, so I was taken aback. It's not a big deal to me, but if you're gonna explain the menu - you should know what you're explaining. Otherwise, the view was beautiful. The restaurant is located next to the lovely pool. The food was delicious. I wish the menu was a little bigger. I think their drinks are pre-made because I wasn't able to make changes to them. I was also expecting a special dessert for my spouse, specifically for birthdays due to all of the reviews about tiramisu and anniversary desserts. They ended up getting us a gelato, but I'm not sure it was a "birthday" special. I guess it depends on when you come. read more

Staycay for the weekend in Waiks. Early 4th of July dinner...had to go early for baby and so we could get back to watch the Hilton fireworks. I feel like there was a improvement on food...or maybe we just ordered better this time. - Uni Crab Arancini ball thingy - YUM. Baby stole my uni. - Caprese - nice and different. Probably the best mozzarella stick I've ever had. Coating was light and the cheese was delish. I didn't like the sauce though. To me that made it way too mozzarella stick-ish rather than caprese-ish. - Oxtail - hubs got this. Was yummy. He liked it. Surprised he didn't finish. Was pretty big, plus we had drinks and pupu. - Pork chop - I was back and forth on what I wanted so asked the Waiter. His eyes lit up and he completely sold me on the dish. And you know what...he was right. It was sooooo goooood. That polenta...OH.MY.GOD. YUM. Luckily I got to eat it for 2 more meals. - Brussels - probably the bet Brussels I've had. Most places it's oily and sitting in sauce. This one had choke taste, was crispy but not at all oily. Air fried? Whatevers...it was delish. I totes forgot my heels when we walked over. So my nice dress and rubbah slippahs. But no worries, since even if it's fancy, it's also not fancy. I didn't feel too out of place. read more

Went to Quiora for my birthday dinner in the evening. The hostess greeted me by name because we made a reservation. That surprised me and I enjoyed the effort put into knowing your guest. The waiter unfortunately did not check in with us as often as we would have liked. Waited for a bit to ask for our check. The location was really nice you have a great view of the Waikiki skyline. The outdoor seating area was well maintained and inviting. The lighting could be a little better at the table as my wife and I had a hard time reading the menus. We ordered the braised short rib and the 22oz bone in ribeye. The braised short rib was good and tender but could use a little more seasoning. The ribeye was cooked to my desired temperature and once again could use some more seasoning. The sides specifically the Mac and cheese were delicious. The Mac and cheese should be its own item on the menu. Pricing was solid for what we ordered. Sadly the food took quite a while to get to us and the wife was getting a little frustrated by the time it came out. Overall a good experience with some minor hiccups. read more

I recently visited Quiora with a large 12 person group and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant's ambiance is great for sunset with stunning views of Waikiki... perfect for a relaxing evening. If you're there on Friday like we were, you get a view of the fireworks too! I ordered the American wagyu steak, and it was cooked to perfection... juicy, tender, and incredibly flavorful. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, 2 salads, and a couple of pastas. I originally wanted vanilla gelato for dessert, but the waiter let me know it hadn't set properly that evening, so I opted for the sorbet instead. While I was a little disappointed at first, the sorbet turned out to be light, refreshing, and a great way to end the meal. The service was attentive throughout the evening. If you're looking for a spot with incredible food, great service, and nice views, Quiora is an excellent choice. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu (and hopefully the vanilla gelato next time!) read more

This was some of the best food I've had in a long time. The mahi mahi was incredible. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauce was so so good. This was the best meal we had all trip. From the cake to the pasta to the burrata, everything here was a 10/10. The views of the ocean were gorgeous- highly recommend eating at sunset! Most of all, the service was impeccable. It started to rain while we were outside and they were so quick to move us to covered tables, to hold umbrellas so we didn't get wet, and to check in with us to make sure we were doing ok. read more

Located in the Ritz Carlton on the restaurant floor, with beautiful sunsets and amazing service, from the time I made the reservation Jennifer was very friendly and accommodating. The view and the service and the food is excellent and the drinks are originals.

The Caesar salad was a lot we could only finish half the plate, it was good but got pretty filled up with the clams & the bread. My chicken dish was very good it was flavorful and moist, even that I couldn't finish, the vegetables were done perfectly. My wife had the vegetable lasagna which she enjoyed a lot it was very flavorful and tasty. The restrooms are beautiful, 5 star very well kept and super clean.

Lunch at the Ritz-Carlton in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii... I went to Quiora a long time ago for dinner and kind of forgot that it was open-air dining. We were lucky to have a gentle, cool breeze. However, a couple of aggressive birds lurked around us. I received an email about the 3-couse special lunch. Making a reservation online was easy. I appreciated the reminder about the date and time. Valet parking for 3 hours was great! We just had to remember to get our ticket validated and give a tip to the valet. Sharon was the bubbly receptionist. She was so personable and even sang "Happy Birthday" to my friend! Sharon has an excellent singing voice! Royce was our knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly server. He was quite perceptive and attentive! He gave great suggestions and brought a complimentary lilikoi sorbet for my friend's birthday dessert! I ordered the (tender) Braised short rib "French Dip" sandwich and (smokey) Grilled Caesar salad. Both were flavorful and had a beautiful presentation! I was really happy with my meal! read more

Truly had a lovely dinner date here! The skyline and ocean view is a magnificent treat while dining, and the staff are all so sweet and courteous. The pasta was hands down the best I've had in Hawai'i and I'm still thinking about that uni pasta, specifically. Super rich, umami, and bursting with fresh uni flavor- and the noodles were the PERFECT level of al dente texture. Such a decadent treat! I'm not usually a tiramisu person either, but theirs was notably delicious. This would be a great choice for a special occasion meal :) Plus that evening there was a high powered telescope set up and a lovely individual was setting it up so people could enjoy a peek at Saturn and other delights! read more

Go in the daytime when you can see the magnificent ocean view. We were there after dark and enjoyed the city lights. We started with a glass of wine. They have a good selection of wine. For the appetizer we shared the ahi dip. It was good and had enough bread slices for the dip. We came because they make their pasta fresh. I had the oxtail pasta and my friend had uni and clam. Both sauces were rich in flavor. Mine was very rich and had a strong wine flavor. They were both good. For dessert we had sorbet. I would come back again late afternoon to enjoy the sunset. The water was attentive and it was nice they allowed us to stay after the restaurant was closed not to rush us. I recommend nice clothing as it is ani e restaurant. read more
