This place did not disappoint! Amazing views, incredible service and immaculate vibes! The live music was a plus! I'm still thinking about all the food from last night! Now we have a favorite spot when we e visit Honolulu again! read more

First, I've seen some amazing photos taken at night from Sky, so I was looking forward to some scenic night views and Sky's rooftop dining experience from 6pm to 8pm (with reservation) did not disappoint. That was worth 5 stars as was the service from the employees. We too sat on the parking lot side (west side I believe) but, by the glass wall, we could easily see the sun settings, the beaches, the water, the buildings - it was still a nice view for us, but there are tables that go further back to the north that might have more parking garage views that we had, so maybe our location was pretty good for us. Sadly, I could not give 5 stars as there were some other issues that detracted from the overall experience.. First, we ended up with chairs at the table, which was fine - a table should come with chairs, but I'm a bit hefty, so the chairs were not comfortable for me. The wrap around chairs were built for small hipped folks, and a bit embarrassing when I went to stand up and had to shed the chair like a pair of pants. Second, like myself, the food price was pretty hefty. I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken (a la carte) and when I also asked for the shrimp (a la carte) was asked how man I would like - and I replied whatever the standard amount that comes with it for $6 shrimp add-on cost would be fine. I was shocked to find out that for the $6 shrimp add-on, that was PER SHRIMP, so I just ordered one. I was expecting some huge shrimp, but all I got was one normally sized large or jumbo shrimp. Third, the food quality was meh. That $6 shrimp I ordered on my Caesar salad was soggy. It didn't smell or taste bad and wasn't spoiled, but it was not what I would have expected. The Caesar Salad was good, but the others in my group ordered salmon which all of them felt was overcooked/too blackened on the outside. For 5 people, we spent about $300 with tip, one alcohol drink, three mocktails plus the 3 salmons, Caesar Salad, Poke dish, and 3 soda waters. Fourth, they had some live musician strumming his guitar, occasionally playing some 80s, 90s, and 2000's songs, but bastardizing them. It wasn't a Hawaiian feel, it was more like they were trying to copy the musical fusion of PF Changs. I was not impressed and mildly annoyed by the song choices and renditions of the artist. I would have preferred more local Hawaiian music, just as when I go to the Caribbean, I liked to hear steel drum music. Bottom line - go here for the roof top views, but eat before you go to save money ordering overpriced, medium quality food. I do not mean any disrespect to Sky's chef's or owners - these are just my personal opinions - couldn't say I could do better, but since I'm the one paying, I would expect better than what I could make myself. read more

Decided to give Sky Bar a try for happy hour, and it was a great spot for a cocktail or two. It wasn't busy, so we were seated quickly at a table right along the edge with a beautiful view. The table was a little small for everything we ordered, but it worked. The drinks were good, and the service was fast and attentive. The oysters, however, were disappointing and not something I'd order again. Overall, I wouldn't come here for the food--there are much better options nearby. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a couple of cocktails with a great view before dinner, I'd definitely recommend it. Just be sure to bring sunscreen and a hat if you're sitting outside during the day. read more

Food, great. Ambiance, chill. View, beautiful. Didn't come for a full dinner, but instead enjoy pupu plates with my girls. The Mac cheese and chicken wings were so tasty. They honestly had the best brussel sprouts I have ever had. The crisp * chefs kiss. But what really made this experience was our host TAI. Literally from the moment we walked into the restaurant/bar, until we left.. she took such good care of my group. She made my bachelorette dinner so so special and I'm forever grateful! She's the reason for the 5 star! Cannot forget about Alexis also - she was super accommodating and just as sweet!! read more

**This is a review for the experience, it is not for the food. My friend wanted to go to SKY for her birthday, so I made a reservation for sunset. After reading the reviews, I opted for drinks and apps, and booked dinner elsewhere. Our table had a nice view, though to take a photo with the sunset, there is only a small corner where this can be done. Our service was good, and the drinks came out quickly. We shared the charcuterie board, which was fine, but just okay for the price. We came on a beautiful evening and it was lovely to sit on the rooftop with good friends and drinks, enjoying the view. I think the experience was great based on our planning and expectations. read more

Spent 4th of July with our family and it was everything we hoped it would be. Delicious food. We ordered edamame, truffle fries, several sashimi platters (beautiful presentation, quality sashimi very fresh), Porterhouse steaks, mushrooms and potatoes. The steaks were great 32 oz portions.they were juicy and cooked to perfection. entertainment was a Lively DJ and spectacular views of the ocean and the Waikiki skyline. The general Manny and his crew really do a great job! Manny kept checking on us and making sure we were having a great time. Thank you Manny and Sky Waikiki for a wonderful 4th of July celebration for our family. We're looking forward to our next visit. read more

We went for happy hour and the food was solid - good prices. The appetizers were great and there were many options. The appeal of the location was primarily the view and ambiance. Service was solid and we got great seats to see most of Waikiki. Enjoyed our time here. read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday here at Sky. It's a rooftop spot with stunning panoramic views. There were a lot of groups there, so it's a great place for birthdays, reunions, or any kind of gathering. The staff were attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. The food portions varied depending on the dish, but overall it was a fun, lively place to celebrate with friends while enjoying the beautiful Waikiki skyline. read more

The coconut girl was way too sweet! I like sweet but this was cloying. I couldn't even taste the alcohol unfortunately. The prosciutto was good but we were expecting local fruits, this didn't hit the mark. Finally, we had a reservation and weren't even seated with a view. The food was meh. I recommend skipping this place if you're visiting. read more

OVERALL: food was disappointing as were the views FOOD: overcooked short ribs with sauce that tastes like ketchup, bad octopus that was overcooked and had random pieces of spam and a black sauce that added no value. Small portions but enough for two to share. Mocktails were great. SERVICE: hostesses were great--super friendly and helpful. I had an interaction with a waitress waiting on a table next to mine who was so rude. She was a young blonde with a high braided ponytail. Our actual waitress was friendly and professional though. VENUE: very small. You only get a decent view if you're sitting in the area in front of the bar and even then all you get is a view of buildings. Everyone else sits along the glass wall with views of the parking lot. Pretty sure all the review about the views are fake having now been there. It is also hard to find the place but it's next to the H&M read more

The view was nice but the only good part of this place. We shared the 8oz steak that was only 4 oz and over salted, the Calabrian chile butter was flavorless and still frozen when it arrived at our table. We also ordered the side mac n cheese and it was bland and definitely frozen/premade. The service was ok the staff was very friendly but continuously brought wrong orders to wrong tables or just seemed frazzled. I would recommend coming here just for sunset and for drinks don't waste your money on the food, it was so expensive for the portion even for Waikiki. read more

SKY Waikiki - Japanese style Poke - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sky Waikiki is all about the views and the vibe. The city skyline from up here is beautiful--especially at sunset rolling into night. It's one of those spots where the atmosphere really carries the experience. The food holds its own too. The steak and seafood were on point--well-cooked, flavorful, and definitely satisfying. If you're a steak lover, this is a solid place to check out. The energy picks up as the night goes on. Live music, DJ, and a full-on club vibe especially on a Friday. Just know the sound hits hard, so it's not the quiet dinner type of place. Staff was friendly and kept things moving despite the busy crowd. Perfect spot if you want dinner that turns into a night out with great views, good food, and high energy. read more

We arrived early for our reservations but were sat promptly. We were greeted by Damian and he was an amazing server. He brought out some water and allowed us sometime to go over the menu. He was very welcoming and friendly! I loved the vibe up there. The skyline was lit by the surrounding buildings, the music was relaxing and beautiful, and the breeze was refreshing. Shout out to the musician there. His voice was so smooth and velvety and his guitar playing was amazing. I loved every second. I ordered a strawberry mojito and tried the espresso martini. I enjoyed the mojito. It was refreshing. The espresso was a bit strong on the espresso side but still enjoyed. I'd definitely come back. read more

Definitely a must try if you come to Oahu great experience great service fantastic food better hold on your taste buds and the ambience oh my God perfect with a sunset. So if you happen to order the shrimp salad be very careful. Kind of disappointing when they have to ask you how many shrimp would you like on that salad? I have never in my life been asked this when you advertise shrimp salad kind of sad. read more

SKY Waikiki - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is a rooftop experience you should try. The views are great and the open air is something to experience. I arrived after 7 and got a bar top table next to the glass. I ordered the sashimi sampler, the Japanese style oysters, the lobster bisque, a house margarita and espresso martini. The fish was very good and delicate but lacked some flavor. The oysters themselves were very good but in my opinion the amount of soy added was heavy. The lobster bisque was a bit of a disappointment. The soup was topped with a giant puff pastry, which was very nice but the ratio of soup to pastry was a little off in my opinion. Also the two pieces of lobster in my soup were very overcooked and rubbery, but the flavor was good. The drinks were fine. For the price/quality of food I rate it a 4. It is definitely a 5 for the view and ambience. read more

Sashimi was incredible! My filet could be cut with a butter knife and all the sides were perfect! Fantastic views of Waikiki Beach.

We came here for the view, Happy Hour, small bites, and of course their Mai Tai's. The view was amazing exactly what we expected. It was extremely hot, so the waitress offered us an umbrella. The umbrella was awkward because you had to hold it with one hand and eat with the other hand. So we chose to move our table to the shade. We ordered the wings and truffle fries. The wings were okay, it wasn't what I expected. Not a lot of seasoning, bland and no dipping sauce. The truffle fries lived up to their name. Crispy, nicely plated and a nice blend of cheese. I really don't know what to say about their Mai Tai. It wasn't the best Mai Tai and it wasn't the worst. It was on the sweeter side but it was okay. This place is excellent for the view and maybe some of their entrees but it's not a good choice for Happy Hour. read more

So what's cool about the Sky is the oysters, you can buy as many as you want. Want 1 get 1. First time I've been to a restaurant that allows you to order just one oyster. The spicy margarita was so good my friend said she wanted to bathe in it! LOL The fries were good. The poke nachos, wow! I would have liked bigger pieces of ahi but still the bomb. Sushi roll was ok. My only complaint- and I think this is totally fixable for them, you have to have a reservation..... we sat down and she asked us to move because it was reserved. There isn't much seating. The only tables not reserved are directly in the sun. No umbrellas, no shade. So you'll either be standing and eating or in direct sunlight. Other than that this place was incredible read more

I heard somewhere " If your favorite club is SKY Waikiki, you're a baddie" and while I can't attest if that is fact, I can attest that SKY Waikiki is the best rooftop spot and has an awesome upscale vibe. The views are immaculate from the ocean to the mountains and the city in-between. Located on Kalakaua, I'd suggest parking in either the Waikiki Business Plaza parking garage (I believe you can search that up in your GPS maps) or the Waikiki Shopping Plaza parking garage across the street. Located on the 19th floor, you'll take an elevator and then an escalator up. They have multiple elevators so there's never really a long wait to get upstairs (one of my pet peeves is having to wait long for an elevator, just for that elevator to be too packed). Happy hour is everyday from 4-5pm! From their raw bar, you can get $2 oysters or jaz it up with ponzu, spicy daikon radish, yuzu, green onions for $4. Be sure to check out their poke! Ahi, hamachi salmon, and even beef poke! One of my friends doesn't eat fish but loves beef sushi/ poke from here. The service here is really attentive and friendly. They even have a bathroom attendant that is always so sweet, such a nice and classy touch. SKY Waikiki always has a cool lineup of live music - every time I come in there's either a DJ or live musicians playing local music. If you're looking for a great view for drinks and food, especially for sunset- I recommend this spot. read more

The lobster was the tiniest lobster I've ever had in my life. The rooftop of good for just drinks b do not waste your money eating here. For the price you can get a bigger better meal down the street at any restaurant. I will never come here again in my life. At least they gave me and my wife a free mai tai for my bday but we both ordered the lobster and ate it in less than 5 minutes. No butter either what's up with that? read more

I just devoured my dinner, but everything was so delicious. Natalie was the best server. Her energy and aura are so special. She was so fun to talk to and had such good recommendations. I hope I get her again when I come back. 10/10 food. 100000/10 service. read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and it was a good vibe overall. I know a lot of the reviews mention their bad experience with the service but I can't really comment much on that because all we did was get a couple of drinks at the bar and that went smoothly with the bartenders. And my drink (coconut girl) was super delicious). The views were immaculate and the live music was really cool too. read more

Cute Christmas bar set up - the decorations are very festive, and the drinks as well! Bartender was friendly and helpful with recommendations. Would be nice to have more chairs and tables available. Could also get hot at times, but it is an open layout with some breeze. There is a photo booth available to use at a cost. I got the Mistletoe Margarita and personally felt like it was a -little- strong for me, but it was the best drink from the ones I sampled of my friends' (sangria and minty mischief). Had a good time here! read more

One of my friends was given SKY Waikiki as a Mai Tai recommendation. We were in the area and decided it would be our first stop on a Mai Tai crawl. We hit them during their post-dinner rush so there was no wait for us to get a table. The best seats against the glass wall were all taken so we took a high top. Our server was so kind for unexpectedly being gifted us as one of her tables at the tail end of her shift. Despite kind of being in a corner, we had really great views. SKY Waikiki has live music almost daily, and the guy who was performing during our time there was phenomenal. You can tell he's been in the biz for a long time and knows his craft well! The Mai Tais were a little strong, and not too sweet. A perfect blend! We ordered spicy ahi nachos with the understanding that they weren't horribly spicy for us Zonies - and that was correct. The best part of the nachos was the yin & yang of the fresh poke & crispy wonton chips. Good to the last drip of sauce. read more

Sky Waikiki was our first dinner spot in Honolulu, and we were blown away. The views were absolutely breathtaking--you get a full panoramic look at the city from the rooftop, and the live music created the perfect ambiance. The vibes were up, and it truly felt like the perfect start to our trip. We ordered the short ribs, truffle fries, a few drinks, and the half chicken, and everything was delicious. The half chicken was incredibly juicy and came with flavorful mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked veggies. The ribs fell right off the bone, and the truffle fries were immaculate--crispy, flavorful, and addicting. Service was also great--everyone was friendly and attentive, and our food came out quickly. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but you're on a rooftop in Hawaii with live music and insane views. It's totally worth it. 100% would recommend and 100% would come again. read more

I am disappointed with my experience at this establishment. Although my boyfriend is over 21 and presents a valid driver's license, Jonathan, a security employee for the building, has repeatedly refused to allow him into the building. This has happened multiple times without a clear explanation. What makes the situation frustrating is that Jonathan works for the building, not the bar itself, yet he continues to prevent entry despite valid identification being provided. Consistency and fairness are important, and it feels like we are being treated differently without justification. I hope management reviews this situation and ensures that all guests are treated respectfully and according to the same standards. read more

Traveling from California, we have visited Sky Waikiki several times in the past. Generally, we love to visit rooftop bars in several metro area locations. Sky Waikiki falls into this category of a great rooftop bar to chill. We popped in for a few appetizers and cocktails. Our server had recently move to Hawaii from out of state 6 months ago. She was super sweet and on top of everything we ordered. Our food choices came out perfectly and very satisfied with the service. We highly recommend, when visiting, to make reservations as it can get busy--especially with the larger parties. Enjoy Hawaii! read more

4/5 stars! Mainly for our fabulous server Damien and the amazing live singer Briankeith (BK) Espiritu. We got a reservation on the rooftop for sunset and the views were beautiful. The roof is a little more packed as there are people standing around at the bar and there are tables pushed right against the glass so it can be hard to take pictures in front of the view without objects in the background. We had a party of 13 so we ended up seated around benches with a giant square table in the middle of us at two separate tables. The vibe was definitely more relaxed and chill as you kind of have to eat stooped over the middle table. But we were super happy to be right next to the entertainment! I ordered a Mai Tai which I thought was great! Tasted good and was strong. Service overall was great because of Damien. It was a little bit on the slow side, but Damien's personality made up for some of the waiting. I ended up eating: Truffle Fries, Hawaiian Plantation Ribs, and Braised Pork Belly. The star of the show was definitely the Truffle Fries. The entire table found them highly addicting -- seasoned just right, truffle flavor coming through, crispy and fluffy. Everything else was okay! A lot of us really enjoyed the saffron risotto that came with the pork belly. It was very flavorful and had a velvety texture. The pork belly was okay/good and the ribs were a bit disappointment. The ribs were on the dry side and did not have much flavor. I'd pass on those! BK Espiritu really helped make the night special! We were celebrating a friend's birthday so he sang songs we requested and gave us shoutouts throughout the night. We had an extra fun time because of him! Overall, the restaurant is fun! You just have to know what to order. Food is a bit pricey, but you do pay for the view. Come on a night where BK Espiritu is playing and you're in for a good night. read more

Amazing food and an incredible sunset view! The hostesses and servers were so welcoming and helped us get a table with an ocean view. We ordered the scallops and the special for the day (can't remember exactly what type of fish) but it was yummy. They also had a live singer and he played all the good 90s jams. Hope to come back on my next vacay back to my birth state! read more
