- EEllaVancouver / British Columbia •1 review5.0Dined todayWe had a wonderful dining experience at the Beachhouse. Chose the 4 course dinner menu and each course was outstanding. I was stuffed after the entree but the dessert was a true culinary art, I had to finish it all! Great wine selection for pairing. Service was impeccable -- Brandon and Ping really upgraded our experience there, thank you so much for making our night a special one! Great vibes, beautiful sunset view, live music from the bar... so nice. Highly recommend!More infoBeachhouse - Moana SurfriderPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Waikiki•4.7
- BBernard JrHawaii •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur first time dining here was a great experience with Japanese cuisine. I was drawn by the name of the restaurant being a Japanese whiskey lover. The sashimi was fresh and their (Cod) butterfish was none like I ever had. It was prepared perfectly not too dry and not too soft the texture was just right. The presentation was also perfect as with Japanese tradition unlike the cheap Japanese restaurants which tries to be traditional yet commercialized. Of course you get what you pay for and we were very pleased with Ambience, service, and especially the food. It was well worth the expense for the experience. Also if you are a Japanese affectionado like I am they also have the highly sought after Yamazaki 18 and Hibiki 21 if you just have to taste it and of course with a price if you’re willing to pay. This will be our regular Special occasion restaurant from now on and perhaps even stop by for lunch if we’re in Waikiki again.More infoRestaurant SUNTORYPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Waikiki•4.6

- KKarenVIPHawaii •24 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoExcellent service. The food was exactly how we ordered it. Oysters were fresh and beautifully presented. A must is the Wolfgang salad - juicy tomatoes, sweet onions, roasted red bell peppers, bite sized shrimp, hearty blocks of bacon, all nestled on a bed of iceberg lettuce. The ribeye was tender and juicy. We enjoyed our dinning experience. Parking is validated.More infoWolfgang's Steak House - Waikiki BeachPrice: Very Expensive• American• Waikiki•4.5
- DDianeNew York State •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis is not our first visit to the Hula Grill and will not be the last. This visit was for my husbands 60th birthday. I wish we were seated at the rail but table was just fine. The service and food were both perfect. The new bartender had trouble making a bay breeze, kept forgetting the pineapple, but they corrected it fast and without attitudes :-) grateful. I appreciated that the music playing was Hawaiian. We come to Hawaii almost yearly and Hawaiian music is what we want to hear when having a meal. So thank you Hula Grill for a great meal and great atmosphere. Was wonderful. Oh FISH “ALL” was cooked to perfection!More infoHula Grill - WaikikiPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.6
