- LLindsayKansas City / Kansas •8 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWhat a fantastic spot by the beach! It offers a great view of the shopping area while being elevated enough to escape the hustle and bustle. We absolutely loved it. The food was excellent and reasonably priced, especially for such a prime location. Definitely a 10/10 experience! Don’t skip on the beer flight and make sure to try out some delicious beet hummus. It’s SOO delicious! My kids are picky and enjoyed it.More infoMaui Brewing Company - WaikikiPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•3.9

- JJeffCalgary / Southern Alberta •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024Had 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
- EElenaAustin •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024Nice ambience if sitting on the outdoor patio. Our dinner experience was great, live music was fun. This is a good place for fried food lovers, I’m not, but had no trouble finding, my mahi tacos were delicious. I like fresh vegetables, they are hard to find in restaurants, surprised that the vegetables garnish (strips of carrots and celery) were fresh and tasty. We liked the ambience so much, we reserved another dinner for next day.More infoShorefyre International MarketplacePrice: Moderate• American• Honolulu•4.1
