Very pleasant service. The pina colada is out of a slushy machine. The smash burger was great. We also enjoyed the short ribs, the garluc truffle fries, the mahi mahi, and the Kalua pork nachos. They were sll excellent. This place is an outside bar, with food by the pool, with nice harbor views. We will be back. read more

I don't always have high hopes for a restaurant in a hotel (this is in The Modern), but love it when the food turns out to be good, as it did here. I had a late supper and a late breakfast here, and both were filling and tasty. The ambiance is simple and practical (no tablecloths, etc.), with lots of outdoor seating available (and significant indoor seating for breakfast). The staff were charming and helpful. For supper, I had the loco moco. The gravy was rich and savory, and the burger was excellent (though it was closer to medium-well than the medium ordered). It was filling and perfect for the end of a long day. Paired well with Aloha Blonde. For breakfast, I got the Hawaiian omelette. Massively stuffed with delicious, greasy roasted pork, plus onions and cheese (I opted against the mushrooms). Though I loved it, I couldn't finish it. The hash browns were perfect -- crispy and not at all dry. And they have Starbucks coffee. Pro-tip: Don't leave your food unattended. The birds are hungry and are particularly fond of the French toast. read more

The Grove restaurant & Bar is an order and go, no frills eatery. The staff is friendly. The ambiance is similar to eating in a cafeteria or dance hall. This review only reflects the service and food, NOT the ambiance of The Grove. Loco Moco - 3.5/5 The brown gravy was how loco moco gravy is suppose to taste. Nice and hearty, with beefiness to the flavor to complement the hamburger patty. The rice was cooked right, not too soft, not undercooked or hard. The hamburger patty was ordered medium, but came back well done (see pic). This made the patty a little hard and dry. But overall, the gravy and rice made up for the overdone burger patty. I haven't tried any other food items on the menu. That said, the loco moco wasn't bad. I would definitively order it again in the future, but to make sure the patty is cooked medium. read more

The Grove Restaurant and Bar is located within the Hilton Grand Vacation Club Modern Hotel. They have a solid breakfast menu and happy hour. It's really hit or miss depending on what you order and when ordering. Best breakfast item is the French toast or anything from the sweet section, the worst is probably the breakfast burrito-no flavor, really bland, disappointing. During our stay we had several breakfasts, a couple of happy hour items another day, and drinks during happy hour by the pool on a separate occasion. The happy hour pork nachos were divine and would definitely have those again. The beet burrata salad was off the regular menu, it's incredibly filling with lots of good stuff packed including pistachios, cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, and roasted beets. read more

This used to be Cinnamons. It's located in the Ilikai. We had a dinner and a breakfast here. Dinner was average - probably 3 stars. I ordered the cheddar burger. I'd give it 2 stars. It needed some help starting with the quality of the beef. My daughter had the Kauai Shrimp Scampi. She described it as dry and with very little flavor. One star. My other daughter had a salad which had avocado which was not ripe. 3 stars. Breakfast was better than dinner - 4 stars. I ordered Da Benny Benedict which was good. I would've give it 5 stars but the meat was a bit tough. Perhaps that's how this smoked kiawe pork is typically. Let me know. My daughter ordered a side of fried rice and the avocado toast. Both were decent. 3.5 stars. They need to upgrade the bread for the toast. It seemed like white bread. I rounded up with my review because I'm optimistic and hope that they will get better with age. I will be probably be back. read more

The Grove is a restaurant nestled in The Modern - Hilton Vacation Resort We arrived 9pm on a Friday night and the first thing I wanted to eat was a Loco Moco. So I ordered that and some garlic truffle fries for my wife and the total came out to about $40 Defined pricey for what you get but I'd say it was food for me. Service was adequate as the servers agreed to have my food to-go so I could take it up to my room to enjoy with my wife. Would I recommend this place? Maybe in a pinch - but you're better off going to other local spots if you really want to enjoy your food. read more

Located at The Modern hotel. Giving 5 stars because the service from Maxwell was outstanding and the food was good. We had so many questions about the menu and Maxwell was so patient with us / gave great advice. We ordered off the breakfast menu as we got there right when they opened and the food was delicious! My dad said his macadamia waffle was one of the best waffles he's ever had. My avocado toast was delicious as well! We now know of good place to get some breakfast and looking forward to trying lunch and dinner next time. A plus is that they have outside seating to enjoy the great weather. read more

A beautiful evening spent at The Grove for my first time I couldnt have been more surprised. Not only walking distance from where I was staying I was shocked that I had never seen or heard of. Service is okay but what really swept me off my feet was the food. I ordered the bao and let me just tell you, the.moment I started eating I felt this shift and thought I was being touched by a god. My mom ordered another dish which was just phenomenal. Not only amazing food, but the location as perfect for a romantic candle lit night which overlooks the water and the most perfect spot to watch the fireworks on a Friday night 100% worth a try and hope you love and enjoy your time spent here as i did read more

First meal being in Hawaii - we came here to kill some time while we waited on our room to be ready. With the time change we sat down and ordered some food while watching MNF at 3PM. Staff was very friendly and multiple people checked on us, refilled drinks, etc. We shared the pork nachos and bao buns. We only needed a small meal to tie us over (we needed up falling asleep and missing dinner) Buns were really good - meat inside was tender and succulent, and the nachos had a solid amount of flavor and texture. Would recommend as a happy hour spot. read more

Excellent location. Open to the public and an easy go to for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Always great food with many options. My favorites are the Grove burger and the Chopped Salad. Happy hour every day. read more

I did not get any pics of my food, I dug right in, but I did get video of restaurant. The restaurant is poolside; views are amazing. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the sesame glazed wings which had a good flavor, glaze tasted like teriyaki. I also ordered the poké nachos which I did not care for, my significant other did like them. read more

We stopped by the pool area and just our luck - it was happy hour! We got a couple of the food items while there. The garlic fries were super good and the spinach dip was so creamy! We definitely enjoyed the food and will be coming back. The service was amazing too, especially for a pool bar. Everyone was super friendly and checked on us regularly. Loved it here! read more

The Grove is a restaurant in The Modern, which is located in the heart of Waikiki. The poolside bar serves fresh salads, sandwiches, and delicious plates showcasing island-grown ingredients. The full bar has a curated wine-list, island microbrews, and signature cocktails. The Grove is one of my favorite lunch spots in Waikiki! I almost always order the fried chicken sandwich- crispy chicken breast, shredded kale, pickled red onion, pickled Fresno peppers, Boursin ranch, on a toasted brioche bun. The salads are also really good, and you cannot go wrong with the Happy Hour mini cheeseburger & fries! They often have live music and the staff is very friendly! read more

This is super close to where I live so had lunch here with a friend. I ordered a side salad with blue cheese and a flat bread pizza. I'm not sure what kind of greens they used in the salad but they tossed the salad for me in the kitchen which only made the greens soggy. Maybe if they used a crunchy type lettuce it would be ok but with the greens they used, no, hardly ate the salad. The pizza was pretty tasty and can say I liked it but the flatbread/crust was probably the frozen kind because it was perfectly round. Odd most flatbread pizzas I've had before are oblong but whatever. Service was good, a little on the expensive side but expected in this area. I'll probably go back just because of the convenient location. read more

The food was just okay, fish and chips a little grease. The beet salad was wilted. The staff was great and loved eating pool side but just wasn't worth what we paid. Drinks way too expensive. read more

Aloha. I've been coming here since 2010. Our company renovated this hotel and we did all the installation of plants and pool deck and I absolutely love the chips and queso and salsa! I love the bloody mary and margaritas. I'm so sad that they got rid of all the local vodka and rum. I miss pau vodka and ocean vodka. Best servers ever! Ian is the best food runner. The hostesses Jenna and the other gal are so good! I love coming here for food and drinks and Friday fireworks! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the food here the Kahlúa nachos were amazing and during happy hour it's very well priced. We came back three times: once for breakfast and twice for lunch and every time I thought it was very good. The atmosphere and service were great too. read more

My friends and I were around the area for the day and decided to grab a snack during their happy hour. It's a pretty cute restaurant & bar by the pool area. If you stay long enough you can catch the beautiful sunset here. They also have live music which is a plus! We shared the garlic truffle fries and spinach artichoke dip. Both were really good and would order them again! The service was fantastic as well, our server was attentive and checked on us regularly. I will definitely come back again for the good vibes :) read more

Great spot at the Modern Honolulu. I wouldn't say they food is to die for, but the ambience is so relaxing and definitely modern by day and night. It's a very adult-ish restaurant and (outdoor bar) by the pool. We had dinner twice (both times outside) and the drink that I liked the most here was the piña colada. read more

Conveniently located at the hotel pool (if you are staying there) and offers meals all say long. We went for lunch and it wasn't too crowded by the bar area. If I'm not mistaken you can order around the pool as well. We kept it basic with a hot dog for the kiddo and burger for me. The food was good and if you sit closer to the far end you have a nice view of the harbor. read more

I did the pool side service, it's not their full menu. The flat bread pizza was more pizza than flatbread, which was fine. It wasn't too heavy but had plenty of cheese. The queso and chips where also acceptable, with the queso being slightly on the spicey side. I can't speak to the food in the restaurant. read more

Nice hide away spot for cafe style food. Ambience is in line with a great poolside eating place.

Located inside The Modern Honolulu, this restaurant is conveniently located on the first floor adjacent to the pool. Open spacious and airy describe the interior. We went for breakfast and things are run via counter service. The menu has a good variety of offerings. We had pancakes which covered the entire plate. They were thick and fluffy. The avocado toast is well made and flavorful. The make your own omelettes are substantial and enough to share. The prices are reasonable considering the location inside of the hotel. In the afternoon, we had pool service. As someone who visits New Orleans every year, the French 75 cocktail was perfectly made. We ordered honey garlic wings and hummus with naan. The happy hour menu has plenty to offer and the prices are definitely a steal!! read more

I stayed at the Modern and ate at the Grove for dinner one night and was impressed. I was exhausted after a long day so didn't wander far. The staff was attentive, the fries seasoned well, and the playing was presented nicely. If you're looking for an easy meal and you're staying close by, try the Grove read more

On a recent pau hana walk, the two of us ventured for some great views and drinks. We ended up at the Modern Honolulu due to being over the marina. We arrived at the Grove, which sits on the pool deck. You can get here from the Modern lobby or through the Ilikai and ramp coming off the lagoon. It's pretty here with the wooden deck, large shade trees, and cozy lighting as the evening grows dark. They had a fun but short happy hour menu; we each opted for a drink and some pupu: chicken wings and fries. Prices were good. The staff here was attentive and friendly, happy to help with whatever was needed. As a beer guy, one issue: my first beer tasted very bad, maybe a badly stored keg. I asked for a replacement which was better but also off, so I think it is dirty draft lines. If a manager reads this, have your beer person check and clean the system. Next time, I'd probably go with a bottle. We're happy to have come here; we look forward to our next pau hana for sunset! read more

Have to be careful. Tip included. They don't tell you and didn't get an itemized receipt. Feels deceptive. They should let you know. Pizza was like frozen pizza. Truffle fries were good. But our group almost paid too much. read more

We eat here each time we return to the island. The burger as well as the fish and chips are good.

Horrible food horrible service. Buyer beware. Tried twice, had to ask for utensils and k napkins both times after food was delivered. Gave Luke warm edamame without soy sauce, don't carry ponzu. This place is a rip off read more

We've had breakfast every day here so far and have tried every savory breakfast item. Every one was delicious! The service is top notch! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is absolutely Aloha and the style is a little more upscale. It's not the Holiday Inn. I would definitely stay here next trip to Waikiki! read more

Was just notified Hilton is completely changing this incredible menu and getting rid of the deconstructed Mai tai! This is hands down the most unique cocktail and everyone looks forward to it!

Take the menu off! The website menu is not in Honolulu! They need to post the real menu that is nothing like the online website. Seating is between the bar and pool. Great service! The servers do a great job. The food is okay, most servers will let you customize your order. Just not very many choices. read more

Good drinks and pretty good food. We tried their burger, fries, chips & salsa, and ahi poke nachos. Poke was super fresh and delicious. Burger was pretty standard, chips and salsa was basic/okay. Drinks are good though! Try their slushy!!! We also came here for breakfast. Not too many options. Pretty average. Service is good. At the restaurant, it's order first then sit down. The bartenders are super friendly and attentive. Chill vibes all around in November! Pool area can get crowded with kids, but I don't mind. read more
