   The restaurant has been in business for a year now. It is located downtown in the business area in a business hotel run by Marriott called AC Hotel Honolulu. Because it is relatively new, it is clean and has a fresh look about it. It's glass windows allows patrons to see what is going on outside; a bustling town. The food is good---not great. It needs to define itself yet. The service was great and it may be due to the fact that we knew the server from a different association. We ll come back in several months to see if anything has changed.

   This was our first time dining at The Dotted Line and we enjoyed it very much. We were in downtown to see a show at the Hawaii Theatre and the restaurant had a special for ticket holders- Free parking at the AC hotel (where they are located at) with a purchase of $75. It's a short 5 min walk to Hawaii Theatre. The atmosphere was relaxing and the tables are nicely space out. The musician that was playing there that night was really good. I liked the fact that the music wasn't too loud and we were able to hold a conversation without having to yell like at other restaurants. Service was great and the food was good. We had the chinese chicken salad (tasty!), sliders and fries. The only recommendation I have would be to expand the menu a little more. I would definitely come back :)

   Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere. Nice big windows to observe downtown activity while dining. Getting more popular and crowded during lunch, so recommend making reservations ahead of time.

   Restaurant and hotel have been operating for about a year. Valet parking is $15. Went for happy hour and the food/drinks/service was amazing. Would go back if in the area.

   Went there to eat their famous truffle fries, however they did not have truffle oil on that day therefore we did not get the fries and other appetizers with truffle oil. The menu is very limited the more so when some items are not available.

   The Dotted Line delivers a unique dining experience in downtown Honolulu. Whether you’re there for a fast paced business meeting or want to slow-pace and have pau hana or Aloha Fri fun, it “is” the go-to.

    This place was a pleasant surprise in several ways. First if you are agonizing whether to dine at Dotted Line or drink cocktails at Yours Truly- don’t worry they are essentially two ends of the same lobby. And when we were seated we were given menus for both. Second, I was expecting typical hotel lobby kind of food and this was significantly better than that. I enjoyed the Margherita Flatbread and the Lobster Roll while my wife enjoyed the restaurant week fixed price menu- Caesar salad, pasta bolognese and panna cotta. Everything was tasty and well prepared. Service was attentive and our dinner got us validated valet parking til 11pm. Our ticket for the Hawaii Theater got us 10% off dinner. Overall a great place to kill some time and enjoy a meal in the heart of downtown. We will be back
