Restaurants near Kaiulani Playground

Had lunch here with the ladies today. It was our first time and we all enjoyed it. We ordered the Biscuits in a bag with jam and the truffle fries for appetizer. Couple ladies tried and loved their cocktail “A Honu World”. For lunch we had the Smashed Burger, prime Rib Moco, Chicken Pot Pie, Fresh Fish Sandwich and their version of the Saimin. Then for dessert we had the bread pudding, coconut lime sorbet, coffee and vanilla ice cream. The sorbet was delicious and refreshing and my fish sandwich was moist and oh so yummy! Our server Dylan ( I’m sorry, I hope I got that right) was helpful and attentive. Service and food are 5 stars!

This was our first experience. It was Valentines Day so perfect. Everything was amazing! The food, taste and quality were delectable! Portions were just right. Our waiter.. His service was outstanding! Very personable. Appearance of the restaurant magnificent! Reservation I made was right at sunset. It was Friday night so we got the Fireworks over Waikīkī too. Only thing disappointing was I left a note in the online reservation stating we were celebrating our engagement but staff wasn’t made aware. So best to call them direct I guess if you’re planning an occasion like that.

My husband and I went to Ruscello for Valentine's Day and were running late because of heavy traffic. I called the restaurant to let them know we were running late. They were very understanding. I ordered the filet mignon and asked that it be cooked medium. It was cooked perfectly and was tender and delicious.

Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Excellent food, ambience and service!! ❤️ I haven’t been there for awhile. Popovers were delicious as usual. The food was superb. I had the salmon ochazuke. I love risotto and I love chase and I love salmon so it was a perfect dish to try. It was delicious!!! My girlfriend had the shrimp crab Louis salad. That looked delicious too!! There were so many I love. So I will surely b back!
