I didn’t love it. The menu is smaller with a decent selection but I did think it was expensive for what you got. My fish was luke warm and also a little dry. The pizzas were all delicious but again for a thin crust pizza with a handful of toppings it was pricy. At the same time I do realize the tourist destination raises the prices. This restaurant is in the same place as the hotel pool and we got to watch some girls swim, which I found a bit odd for the restaurant atmosphere. The cocktail menu has some great drinks not unbelievably expensive. 10$ for a cocktail, 26$ for cocktail. The service was very good, we had an excellent server. Although the food took quite a while even thought the restaurant was not busy. The banana pudding was very good, the sweet potato cheese cake was not. Overall, I wont be back.

We had an outstanding meal here. The service was relaxed and leisurely in a good way. It helped us to slow down and enjoy a couple hours for our meal.
We enjoyed a large sampling of the menu from the Green Goddess salad to start, to Pork Chop, to Chicken Melinasese, and Seared Ahi, to the Off the Hook.
For Gluten Free: the Seared Ahi and Off the Hook were Gluten Free and delicious.

This establishment offers a truly distinctive experience within the region. The culinary and beverage selections were exceptional. The service was commendable, and our waiter demonstrated both professionalism and helpfulness. This was undoubtedly one of our most satisfying dining experiences here. The shareable fish platter is highly recommended.

This restaurant inside Surf Jack Hotel is a chill spot to unwind. We tried their holiday season cocktail, which was good, and enjoyed the live music — the singer was excellent. A relaxed place to hang out and enjoy the vibe.

The burger we had I think was the BEST Burger I’ve had in awhile. The drinks are reasonably priced…HH $12/Drink or Double-up for $14. $16/Singapore Sling and $14/Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary mix was delicious. Ian is a pretty cool bartender and very personable. We live here and enjoy coming here bc it’s quiet considering it’s Waikiki. I’ve only been during the day…but enjoyed the pool.

This was one of the best meals we had in Honolulu. Highly recommend for seafood lovers. Our appetizers, dinner and dessert were five stars. Deserving of more attention and foot traffic- hands down.

We really like this restaurant—it has great vibes, a cute pool, and excellent service. The food comes in large portions and is nicely cooked. The chicken, in particular, is tender and flavorful. It’s also in a great location, within walking distance of the main street. They host lunch parties on Saturdays and often have live music with talented singers performing great songs.

Hated to be cut the rating but three of our fairly large party got sick hours after eating here. Which is a shame since most of the dishes were fine! My nephew enjoyed the pizza the most. The hostess and the waitress were great, providing us with tons of service. Most of us had the raw oysters, and most of us did not get sick, but the oysters were flown in from Washington State so it’s not local. I suspect that we were sitting in the hotel lobby which had an indoor pool, which at dinner was a nice touch since it provided us with a semblance of someone’s backyard patio.

This is a hidden gem! The MAHINA FAMILY FEAST is out of this world, Amazing!
They have a menu that is very balanced, with apps, entrees & desserts that are balanced for all parties. It’s a perfect sized menu, that has staples and the rotating taps & fresh fish that changes frequently.
