    We had a wonderful experience dining here this evening. A big mahalo to all the staff for accommodating my extended family of 7, including a toddler. Our server was on-point, great selection of drinks, the view excellent, the ambiance and noise levels just right. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but especially the mini poke tacos, the mahi tacos and the kids pizza was a huge success for a picky eater.

    Been coming to hideout for 3 years now every time my wife and I visit Oahu and it never disappoints. The Hamajang Board is a must order. The pork belly Brussels are definitely my favorite and my wife ranks the ahi sashimi with some of the best she’s had. Vibe is always on point as well. Theres plenty of great food around Waikiki but many places in the area are lacking in this department so it definitely sets the hideout apart. Every live music act or DJ I’ve seen there have been great. We’ll keep coming back.

    I’ve made this reservation to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday at 5:15 PM in order to see the sunset in the ocean. We’ve been a little bit late for the reservation, but two ladies worked at Hau Tree were very nice and helpful. We were sitting in the Oceanside view for the dinner. The sunset in front of Hau Tree was so beautiful and amazing. Jordan was our server who was so kind and helpful. We ordered crispy Spanish octopus, pawn pasta and local fish. Food was amazing and so delicious. They gave us a little desert as a birthday surprise! Excellent food, beautiful ocean view and great customer service from Hau Tree! Recommend to everyone! It is a must try in Honolulu!
