The food here far exceeded my expectations! It is in the lobby of a hotel, but the food is legit. The garlic cheese sourdough was phenomenal. The garlic onion burger might have been one of the best we've ever had and the pineapple creme brulee was phenomenal. 5/5 would recommend! Also the live music was great!
Drinks and food were delicious. The music is amazing! We are staying at the other end of the beach and have been back three nights of our stay.
약 2주 전에 이 레스토랑에서 겪었던 경험을 공유하고 싶습니다.
한 마디로 정리하자면, '최악은 아니지만 저녁식사로는 다시는 가고 싶지 않은 식당' 입니다.
I'd like to share an experience I had at this restaurant about two weeks ago.
In a nutshell, it's "not the worst, but a place I wouldn't want to have dinner again."
It was my girlfriend's 21st birthday dinner. We were tired but wanted to try alcohol officially for the first time on her 21st birthday, so we went to the hotel's restaurant.
The service wasn't bad. The server seated us right in front of the performance stage, so we could enjoy the show. The food took quite a while, but we could munch on the nachos that came first while waiting. (The nachos were reasonably priced and tasted great. We also ordered drinks, which took longer than expected.)
When the food finally arrived, we were excited but soon disappointed. It was barely edible.
The steak (pork chop) we ordered tasted like it was made solely of salt, not seasoned but just salty. It was so salty that it was bitter. My girlfriend, being an American but a vegetarian, couldn't taste it herself but remarked that American food is generally either very salty or sweet. Living in the US, I know that American food tends to have strong flavors, but this was beyond that—it was simply inedible. I wanted to call the server to complain immediately but didn't want to ruin my girlfriend's birthday atmosphere. I tried to eat it with the rice that came with her dish, but it was still too salty. My girlfriend also took a bite and found her "Create Your Own Bowl" dish tasteless. She described it as "chewing on texture with no flavor." At this point, she started to think something might be wrong with my food too, especially since the father at the table next to us was also complaining about his steak. This reassured my girlfriend that my taste was not the issue.
We ordered a few items, including cocktails, and the total came to $140, including tip. The second picture shows the food when it arrived, and the third picture is after we “finished dinner."
After the server cleared our plates, they brought a small piece of cake to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, which was a nice gesture. The nachos, mashed potatoes, and cheesecake were the only tasty items. As we left, we joked that we had the "most expensive nachos, mashed potatoes, and cheesecake for dinner" and that a "$140 nacho and mashed potato meal is something we could only experience in Hawaii."
We should have had dinner at Monkeypod Kitchen next door, enjoying the ocean view.
Additionally, I'm curious why the server, who received the tip and acknowledged that other tables had the same complaints about the food, only responded with "I've informed the kitchen of the issue" and still charged us the full price. I was disappointed that they didn't try to resolve the issue, but my girlfriend enjoyed the complimentary cake, so I'll leave a 2-star review.

Absolutely AMAZING experience here for dinner! We went here our last night on the island and were not disappointed! The live music, service, and food were incredible. Our waiter made great food suggestions. For food we had the braised beef short ribs, fresh catch tacos, and ahi poke nachos. Super low key relaxed vibe at this restaurant. Would highly recommend!
If you're in the area and you want a quick bite to eat or drink that you'll never forget this is the place to stop located and outriggers reef Waikiki resort right at the entrance I promise you you will not be disappointed
I had the ahi nachos the onion brulee burger and my mother had the double cheeseburger

We had lunch here, as well as early evening cocktails. The food was amazing, fish tacos so tasty and delicious. The fish and chips very good, the batter on fish was so light and crispy.
We had drinks later in the evening the frozen margarita and lava mango drinks so delicious! The bartender's were so kind and friendly. The offered us a complimentary drinks and a pineapple creme Brule that was out of this world! The live music was very enjoyable!
