- JJudiVIPHawaii •42 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoA friend took me there earlier tonight for my birthday. We got there during happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by the prices and number of items on the happy hour menu. It ends at 5:30 and lots of places end it at 5 so we started out with a good impression. She got the Kailua pig quesadillas and I got fish and chips. She ordered the green beans as well. Everything was delicious! Our waiter was friendly and was very familiar with the food and drinks on the menu. My cocktail was called something crush. Yummy! Overall a really great experience.More infoMerriman's HonoluluPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Honolulu•4.7
- JJeffCalgary / Southern Alberta •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoHad an amazing experience at the House Without A Key, right on the ocean! The atmosphere were incredible—nothing beats dining with the sound of the waves and live Hawaiian music in the background. The food was just as impressive. We tried the chicken breast and mahi mahi and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ambiance was relaxed but still stylish, perfect for a sunset dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive, making it a perfect spot for a laid-back but memorable meal. Can’t wait to return!More infoHouse Without a KeyPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Waikiki•4.6
- JJohnOrlando / Central Florida East •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWhat could be better than a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while you eat? The food! Our dinners were outstanding. My wife said it was the best steak she’d ever had, and my daughter said the same about here pasta. All four of our meals were excellent, no one was disappointed. My only complaint is that we were all too full to even share a piece of Hula pie!More infoHula Grill - WaikikiPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.6
- TTDLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is my spouses first time to Hawaii. With it being Christmas Eve we were related to know we could still make last minute reservations for dinner after our other activity was interrupted by another guests personal emergency. Although it was “late” the staff was absolutely wonderful and service was quit and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend dining her with your family or for a special occasion. I would suggest that “on the 3rd” floor be added to the directions or information on all platforms.More infoWolfgang's Steak House - Waikiki BeachPrice: Very Expensive• American• Waikiki•4.5
- TToddVIPHawaii •34 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMy wife and I went to Tommy Bahama for a late lunch. The person who greeted us upon our arrival was very friendly and welcoming! We were seated and our server came over to our table and also greeted us. My wife got the bungalow salad and cheeseburger sliders which she said were absolutely delicious. I got the Chilean sea bass which was extraordinary. My wife and I try to come to Tommy Bahama Restaurant at least once a week as the food is exceptional and the people who work there are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!More infoTommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar - Waikiki, HIPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.8
