    The cuisine was delicious and flavorful. Our server Jessica was very pleasant and accommodating. Unfortunately my glass of Failla Pinot Noir was served directly from the refrigerator. But, it was corrected.

    As residents from the island's west side, we were glad we did not cancel our reservation. We were glad OpenTable checked because we were so busy that we forgot about it. It was a beautiful Hawaii day to drive and be at PBH. When asked if we wanted the brunch buffet, we went for it instead of our original plan to do ala carte. The place was not packed, so it was a relaxing time to try the buffet, and we enjoyed everything we picked. The servers were attentive and cheerful, not stressed by the holiday bustle. At the same time, we are an "easy to please" party. We did not fret when we could not be moved to a table with lesser foot traffic. Other notes - The buffet price was right, and parking was validated. The resort hotel had a festive holiday ambiance. The restaurant had a Japan-style restroom, which was to our liking as well.

    This is the second time we celebrated New Years Day at Wolfgang’s steak house. Pricey I know but you want to start the new year with awesome food and worry later how much I paid. Service was again excellent. Praises to our server Allie. If next year goes good I’ll be back again.

    Our server was outstanding! She was attentive and engaging. The Chicken Anchovy Olio was on point, more so than the Ala Moana location, and Caesar Salad is a must.
