First time trying Tommy Bahama restaurant so my review is limited to the food my wife and I had, macadamia crusted fish and crab bisque and grilled asparagus which was delicious. Price wise it is probably mid-range so good value for money. Will probably try it again when we next visit Waikiki. Some nice shirts too on the way out.

Discovered Moke's by chance as we were driving around the highway. This is a nice stopping place with a good down home menu if you are circling the island. Very nice breakfast/lunch selections.

We grabbed lunch here before entering the Polynesian Cultural Center. The food and portions were great for the price. I ordered a beef teriyaki plate, which was served with white rice and macaroni salad. The beef teriyaki was bursting with flavor, and very tender. The rice and macaroni salad were very good as well. My niece ordered the Korean chicken, which was nicely breaded white meat chicken with a tangy, slightly spicy flavor. This is a good option for a quick meal at the Polynesian Cultural Center.Thank you for sharing your experience with us and come back soon! Mahalo!

This place was recommended to me so I thought Iâd give it a go. I have the boco rota pizza. It tasted so good, garlicky cheesy goodness. It was so good that I thought Iâd try the late night menu out as itâs one of the cheapest prices Iâve seen in Honolulu (see picture).The tuna nachos were incredible and the noodle soup was good as well. Huge portion sizes, this place knows good food. An absolute must try, I honestly believe this is the best value restaurant in Honolulu for the quality of the food you are getting. And youâre paying average prices too (way below average on he late night menu).

This place was crazy bad on service.First... this place wasnât busy, yet it took 30 minutes to get food ordered. Second... the server at the window kept on disappearing. Although we didnât say anything, others in the queue were very vocal in their disapproval.Third... they took the order wrong. We ordered a Spencer with fries, drink, salad and veggie with fries and salad. This is what we repeated back to the server. What arrived was a Shem burger _without_ fries. Wrong burger. The restaurants error and they REFUSED TO PUT IT RIGHT. âI am not the managerâ is not an excuse - find the manager. âYou can stand in line and order your friesâ is also not acceptable when the queue is 30 minutes long. The correct way is you bring out the missing order.Itâs a shame we canât take the tip back, because we certainly didnât get the service or food we requested.Bottom line ... we would not go back. Just not worth it.

Adventurous "foodies" will appreciate and enjoy the experience at the Chef's Counter!The food is creative, artistic, delicious and meticulously prepared before your eyes. One of the two chef-owners graciously interacted with all 8 counter guests each course throughout our evening, adding a special touch to the great service provided by the dedicated server. The beverage pairing is a great way to elevate the entire experience.

Cmon, admit it. How many of you have travelled to a new city, sought out the best breakfast spots, waited in line to be seated and received a "pretty good" breakfast. Hey, it happens all the time. Pancakes, eggs, hash, whatever. Lots of places do them pretty well. Now open your mind to the possibility of a restaurant that takes breakfast to the next level. That my friends is Over Easy.The custard French toast with crime fraiche is unbelievable. How about perfect pancakes...Or try an egg sandwich with Portuguese sausage on a buttery, perfectly crunchy toast.We're talking simple dishes, with great ingredients, prepared with a level of skill and care that puts you in your happy place every time. The staff is pleasant and professional, and the food... my god... the food. Just go! This is quite possibly the greatest breakfast spot on earth! I mean it.

Nine of my family dropped in on a rainy day for great food, great service and fun staff. We loved the blueberry french toast. Eggs benedict in different varieties was also very good. It was a fun brunch.

New American, Farm to Table restaurant featuring many of Oahu's farms in the Heart of Chinatown. Craft cocktail program with a wine list leaning towards the boutique and Natural Wine movement!

My friend and I celebrated our 50th Birthdayâs at Fete (thanks to the recommendation from Kevin and Stephen at Hilton Garden Inn) and we loved every minute of our dining experience. Located a short and direct bus ride from Waikiki (#13) we arrived ahead of our booked time and were immediately seated overlooking the kitchen where we decided to stay for the entire night â fun to watch the chefs and great to talk to the staff.Our waitress, Mona, was excellent in every way â engaging, helpful, professional and really looked after us. And, Chuck, the restaurant owner with his Executive Chef wife, also made our night extra special â particularly with his amazing wine knowledge (yes, I never thought a great Riesling would come from New York).We started off our night with a Fete 75 Cocktail (yum) before I had a glass of the Dr Konstantin Frank Riesling from New York (yum). My friend and I shared an appetizer of ahi tuna which was incredible â as suggested by Mona, perfect for sharing â and with a great combination of fresh flavors. For my main, I had the grilled pulpo (octopus) which was perfectly cooked and delicious (plus not too big). My friend had the Chaz Burger which she devoured with gusto. And in a restaurant like Fete, you must have dessert, so I had 2 scoops of the Rocky Road To Hana Ice Cream together with 1 scoop of the Raspberry Lychee Rose sorbet â an amazing combination. The ice cream is homemade and is the best ice cream Iâve ever eaten â like wow (nearly licked the bowl). And, in celebration of our birthday, the ice-cream was served with a birthday candle! Nice! We had such a wonderful and special evening at Fete! Thanks to Mona and Chuck for making it so awesome.
