    Appetizer - Guava Glazed Ribs
    Mary V.

    Sean our waiter was one of the loveliest person I had ever met in my life. He gave such wonderful food recommendations and was literally a one man army taking care of everyone. He told is to try the special parmesan crusted fish and it was absolutely amazing. The swordfish was flakey and perfectly cooked. The arancini appetizer was quite delicious as well. We came before the hectic time during dinner so we were seated rather quickly. I do recommend patience here because it does seem to be short staffed here yet large crowds. But the view is phenomenal and again, I cannot emphasize enough: ask for Sean.

    Bday dinner 11/24/25

    I came here in November 2025 with a good friend to celebrate my birthday, and honestly...this was a moment. From the start, the staff was lovely and welcoming. We had great conversations throughout the night, and although I don't remember our server's name, she was absolutely amazing and really made the experience feel special. I ordered the vegan primavera and it was delicious. The portion was huge (no complaints there), and I had leftovers that were just as good later. Always a win. My friend said her coconut shrimp was very tasty, and her piña colada did what it needed to do. I kept it simple with a gin and tonic. Cant go wrong there. The view, my goodness....just watching the sunset on the beach while enjoying a good meal and live entertainment plus company is life!!! Overall, this is easily one of the best spots we've been to and totally up there with Duke's. Planning on returning in November 2026!!!!

    Catch of the day

    Loved everything about this restaurant. The ambiance is just fantastic and you can't compete with the sunset view. Had the tuna stack and watermelon salad and both were divine. Had a lychee martini and a rye tai that were both exquisite. The catch of the day over coconut rice was superb and my wife loved the snapper. Sensational service as well. Validated valet parking at the hotel below the restaurant.

    I was staying at the hotel across the street when my group decided to go have drinks and appetizers, we ventured out to Tikis. We didn't have reservations we found out that there was a big line so we decided to go to the bar and you can order from the bar and then have a seat at a table. The drinks were a bit pricier than are at our hotel. Average price was $24 for a drink while we did order some drinks. They were not very strong, very weak more fruity than alcohol.. Atmosphere was fun, but we decided to go back to our hotel which was around $14 for a mai tai.

    View from our table at lunch.

    Hanging around Waikiki decided to see if Tiki's had their 20oz clear souvenir glass and happy they did as they were out on a previous visit. Love the etched tiki drinking glass and the french dip was great. Great view of Waikiki Beach, Calm relaxing lunch on a Friday. Excellent service from Lucy.

    Great spot for dinner and sunset   Butterfly martini and the sunset

    The food was amazing don't leave without trying out the Arancini they are the best I've ever had. Beautiful atmosphere! Highly recommend the Ube Colada it is one of a kind as well as the lychee martini. Tui is great, service is fast, great recommendations, attentive and food is amazing!

    Great local brews and more.

    My wife and I had a great lunch here. We were seated on the balcony but back far enough that we had great shade while enjoying the ocean view. Service was fantastic, as was the food. I had the Catch of the Day fish sandwich. It was a great slab of fish with tasty sauce and fresh lettuce and tomato. My wife had the Thai Chicken Salad, which was a massive pile of food with bursts of fresh flavors from all the veggies. Definitely recommended!

    Kalua Pig Quesadilla, Island Watermelon Salad** and my empty glass of Li Hing Mui Pineapple Colada
    Mary H.

    If I could rate a 4.5 l would. The restaurant is located further down the beach toward Diamond Head and the Zoo. It's a quick walk from central Waikiki. The restaurant is on the third floor of a hotel right across the street from the beach. It's a great location. Even at lunch they had live music. Fun atmosphere for sure! The staff was friendly and efficient. Our server took the time to chat with us - you can tell he really enjoyed learning a little about the people at his tables. And now for the food and drink. I started with a mocktail - the Li Hing Mui Pineapple Colada. It was perfect for a warm day looking at the water. We had the Island Watermelon Salad - it was refreshing and very tasty. I had the Kalua Pig Quesadilla. I hit the jackpot! The tortilla was made with Ube and the homemade Kalua pig with jack cheese all made it amazing. Corn and tomato salsa, sour cream and guacamole rounded it out. Sounds like a five star review so far, right? It would have been, but my husband's sandwich, the smoked marlin melt missed the mark. He ended up eating some of my quesadilla (which he loved). I do have to say, his sandwich came with fries I have never seen before! They were curly steak fries. Yes, big thick curls of yumminess (if you like steak fries). We will definitely be back when we travel to Waikiki.

    Take-Home Glass Drinks
    Dorothy D.

    Food: A. From the complimentary egg roll at the beginning in the fancy drink bar section to the interesting shaped fries and outstanding creative drinks - this place is one to remember. Everything we ate and drank was top notch! Service: A. Our bartender at the standard bar made an extra effort to come all the way across over to the other side of the bar to take our orders and serve us. I was really impressed by this! The guys in the fancy drinks bar make drink ordering entertainment! Ambiance: A. This place is almost always packed because it is the unique cultural experience. We loved the special X-mas themed bar during the holidays. The LIVE music is one of many entertaining views in this hot spot! Dietitian Dorothy's pro nutrition tip: Order the special blue MONSTER MAKO with take-home glass. This is one of those purchases where you are reminded how special this purchase was day-after-day. The glass it comes in makes the best high-quality water drinking glass for months to come - making it nostalgic to stay hydrated!

    Really great service and the food was delicious. Kids meals were simple and their screaming was drowned out in the chaos of the crowd . We had the Pacific red snapper and ube and venison bolognese. Added to our list of good for kids restaurants in town.

    Sweet potato gyoza

    We had dinner tonight at Tiki's Grill & Bar in Waikiki Beach Honolulu Hawaii. This is a fantastic restaurant with great food and live music being played at night. The view from this 3rd floor restaurant is amazing. The atmosphere is incredible and we had a great time here. Getting a table can be an issue because they are very popular but we were able to grab a couple of seats in the Lava Bar. It's the less busy bar of the two but we were able to hear the live music being played but our conversation was not drowned out by the volume, a total WIN-WIN for us! We had a big lunch together Duke's this afternoon so we decided to just order a couple of Pupus (appetizers) to sate our appetite. The Brussel Sprouts were delicious and perfectly cooked. We also had some Venison Gyoza which was surprisingly tasty. My Wife doesn't like venison at all and she really enjoyed it after a little coaxing to get her to try it. It was extremely well balanced and not gamey, as venison usually tastes that way. The Prime Rib Poke was really good, unfortunately there was a lot of pipikula aioli on top and my Wife doesn't like aioli but she tried it and she okay with it. Admittedly, I tried my best to clear off the aioli before she tried it and that may have helped. Overall this was a great experience here, this is definitely a great place to visit! 4.5 Stars, rounded up to 5!

    I love their Christmas bar, this is the second year in a row that we've come to their event. The bartenders are super fun and friendly. And the drinks are cute and yummy. The room is filled with every Christmas ornament on the island from ceiling to floor. It is absolutely adorable. There was a long line to get in when we first came last night. But we went around 11 and there was plenty of room. They do close at midnight. There's no fee to get in you just need to buy some drinks. And they have valet parking at the hotel, Just get your receipt stamped. This place also has yummy food and I love their Tiki mugs. They are hot spot for parades because they are on the strip of Waikiki. It's always a fun place where you come day or night.

She made reservations for us, which is recommended. You check in on the first floor and are then escorted into the speakeasy. I won't share much more, as one should experience it themselves. But the ambiance is dim, semi-private, on-theme, and cozy yet lively. There's a bar area as well as the dining area where we sat. Service was fine. We were checked on periodically, but the food did take quite some time to come out. We shared some pupus, off their happy hour menu. We got the Smashed Cucumbers, House Karaage, and Sinigang Fries. The cucumbers weren't spicy, even though they were listed as spicy. It was more oily, but still crisp and refreshing. The fries were perfect for snacking on, with a nice sour-savory flavor from the sinigang. The karaage was extremely big! Not too crispy like usual, but still meaty. We also asked for six, but only received five pieces. My friend got the Lamb Ribs as well, which fell off the bone, and she seemed to enjoy them. My other friend and I shared the Ulu Taco Flight. We chose Suadero, Pork Belly, and Seafood as our protein. I enjoyed the seafood; it was lobster. It was sweet and mild but nicely cooked. The aioli was a nice addition. The pork belly was fine; it was quite spicy, which was a bit overpowering. My friend who had the beef taco said the wagyu was great but also quite spicy. The tacos themselves were quite small for the price. Overall, if you're into speakeasies or curious, Vintage Books is worth a visit at least once. The food is creative, and the drinks are good. Glad I could come and hang out with my friends. Find them on the ground floor. Parking is validated in the building; give your ticket to the host.

To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.

Tucked on the second floor of a Piikoi Parkway building, it feels like stepping back in time, a true bespoke bar with vintage art, moody lighting, and comfy couches that make it perfect for couples or a night out with friends. We sat at the bar, which was a highlight, Michael and Tony were welcoming, easy to talk story with, and clearly know their craft. I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way. Prices are on point for the quality and experience you're getting. It's a bit of a hidden, hip spot, not for a quick drink but for when you want to sit, relax, and enjoy it. Parking is tight, but you can park at Ala Moana and walk over, and it's worth it. Next time we're coming back for Grandma's Old Fashioned and the pork belly bao buns. This isn't a bar you stumble into, it's one you come back to.

    I went here for my birthday and didn't realize I should've made a reservation for a larger group,…read moreespecially since it was my first time. Thankfully, Michael and his team were able to accommodate us, which I really appreciated. From the moment we walked in, the place had a great vibe, the interior is beautiful. Throughout the night, the staff and Michael (the owner) were incredibly welcoming, funny and attentive. The cocktails were amazing. I had the expressing my love all night and even though the place was busy and there was a bit of a wait for food, it was honestly worth it.

The Azn fellow who also took care of us let us look at the bottles of special bourbon we drank: Four Roses & Blantons both tr the Aoki Collection. Regarding the ambiance its whimsical inside. I didn't look on the lanai, but I understand you can smoke cigars out there. The background music was jazz and the occasional Motown hit (Stylistics). My cuz who lives in Kaimukī has neva been to RM 38. I promised to add him to the res next time.
