Located on the corner of Kuhio and Kanekapolei street. We walked over from our work place and dined here for happy hour. Know that they don’t take reservations for happy hour and that it’s only walk-in for the bar area only.
It started off a little rocky, when you first walk into the establishment, there’s an interesting smell to the place, to which at first, smelled like a mix of onion and body odor. Not sure if it was from the woodsy elements of the wine lockers or the welcome mat but luckily it was only in the immediate doorway when walking in. We quickly got seated at a high-top near the bar, to which Mike was our server. There was a huge horse fly buzzing around on the window nearest us when we sat and we kindly asked for it to be taken care of, to which it didn’t quite happen. Though eventually the fly, flew elsewhere by the time our food was placed on the table, thank goodness.
As for the food, the lamb was by far my favorite item on the happy hour menu. It was prepared well and didn’t have a gamey taste. The oysters were yummy, as well as the house bread. The sliders’ buns were a little too dry for my liking, but overall the food was good.
When utilizing the restrooms, I realized there was a whole different dining section with booths and private rooms. I’ll definitely have to come back to try it once more, to see how their dinner menu pans out.

Update: we’ve returned with our friends and were able to try its dry aging steaks. They were decent, but I believe other items were better. Even the filet sandwiches (steak sliders) were better. The oyster were very good, but the lamb chops remained our favorite. Only one dish that was below this eatery’s standard: the Caesar Salad Bites. The sauce was way too heavy and basically you couldn’t taste anything other than the extra-creamy sauce. That plate didn’t belong with other dishes that we’d ordered. The service was friendly and attentive (so many amazing servers at this place). The Greyhound Martini was a bit sweet, but very good still.
We stopped by to check out its newly created happy hour (Capital Hours) menu before heading to see a show. Its dry aged NY strip was highly touted, unfortunately they sold out during the holiday season. Instead we had its lamb chops, garlic shrimps, fried risotto (arancini) and a carbless expression cake. The lamb chops were tiny, but very well prepared. The garlic shrimps were fresh and a bit different than your normal Oahu garlic shrimps, but better. Finally, I normally not a fan of risotto, but when deep fried and creamy garlic sauce added, I am now a fan of arancini. The peach bourbon was pretty good as well as its house Chardonnay. The carb-less cake was very sweet, but it ran out of our favorite-crème brûlée, so we settled for its espresso cake. Other may like it, but it was way too rich and heavy for me. The service was excellent and friendly. For happy hour menu, you have to be seated at the bar or the lounge area, which was bright and comfortable, and you get to people watch on the street outside while enjoying our drinks. No reservation was needed for the bar area, but it was full as soon as the door was opened. We’ve been to other Capital Grills before (in So Cal) and this one seemed to be better than I can remember.

Had a fantastic experience at The the Capital Grille Waikiki last night. Our server Alan was wonderful. Great recommendations, awesome personality and attentive service. We started with the Oysters and lobster crab cakes. The Oyster were fresh and their house sauce was absolutely delicious while the lobster crab cakes were the best shellfish cakes I’ve ever had. We shared a 22oz ribeye on the bone with porcini crust. The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavors were even better than expected. For sides we went with the asparagus, mashed potatoes and asked for them to add truffle which leveled up from great to perfect, and the mushrooms. They gave a great wine selection and dessert was off the charts. Thanks Alan and Capital Grille. I’ll be back soon!

Waikiki’s New Gem — A Perfect Steakhouse Experience
We came here to celebrate a family birthday tonight, and this new steakhouse in Waikiki completely blew us away. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly smiles, classic Sinatra playing, and a classy yet comfortable atmosphere that instantly set the tone for the night.
Our server, Matthew, was absolutely exceptional. He went above and beyond, not only providing attentive service but also taking such sweet care of our 2-year-old princess — she adored him by the end of the meal! The rest of the staff were just as warm and welcoming, making sure every single detail of our dinner was perfect.
The food? Incredible. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and flavorful, the wedge salad crisp and classic, and our bone-in steak—cut to share—was cooked flawlessly. The mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were rich, creamy, and indulgent in all the right ways. And to top it all off, we ended with the crème brûlée cheesecake, which was absolutely heavenly.
Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the Arnold Palmer—hands down the best I’ve ever had!
This place has it all: amazing food, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night. Waikiki has a new favorite steakhouse, and we can’t wait to come back.

Our waiter, Alan Lista, was EXCELLENT! My lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The other servers were very attentive, too! My husband ordered a fish, which was very good, too. We split the beet salad & I also had the French Onion Soup! So- by the time my entree’ came, I was pretty FULL! We ate the rest of my lamb for dinner tonight and it was delicious. The final touch, was their Raspberry-Basil Sorbet and a long stem red rose! Very nice experience, we will come again!
This was our 2nd time to a Capital Grille… the last location was in San Diego. I enjoyed the ambiance at the Waikiki location more!

The restaurant and waiter was nice, but the food quality was not. The calamari we ordered was supposed to be a specialty and it was burnt so we had to return it for another one. I would have liked a dipping sauce with it. The second order was cooked fine, but it was still bland without a dipping sauce. The steak was really burnt on the outside like Chicago style, but I did not request that. I’ve had way better steaks at many other steakhouses. All of the sides were extremely dry. I could still taste the strong onions in the creamed spinach because it wasn’t cooked long enough and there was barely any cream in it. The Mac and cheese and mushrooms were both extremely dry like it was a day old. We got two tiny little pieces of lobster too. Strip steak is a lot better and so is the rib eye at Tanaka. Oh I almost forgot. The Caesar salad was terrible. It was tiny and the dressing was not good. The lettuce they gave me were the ends of the head of lettuce and were yellow, not green. Those are usually the parts of the lettuce that I throw away when I make Caesar salad at home. I was shocked to even get those pieces. Even the bread that they served tasted like it was a day old. It wasn’t warmed up or anything. My bill came out to almost $300 and the waiter was nice enough to take the burnt calamari off the menu.

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish.
From the moment we arrived, everything felt polished and effortless the complimentary valet parking was a huge plus in Waikiki and immediately set the tone for a relaxed evening.
We started with the cold seafood platter, which was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented oysters, shellfish, everything cold, clean, and exactly as it should be. We also had the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella and tomatoes, which was perfectly balanced and a great way to start the meal.
For drinks, we ordered an espresso martini and a Dirty Goose (Gray Goose dirty martini with blue cheese olives), both made expertly. I also enjoyed a Lagavulin 16 scotch, neat, which was served properly and without hesitation.
Our server, Mike, was phenomenal, attentive without hovering, extremely knowledgeable, and completely on point. He explained the menu clearly, made great recommendations, anticipated our needs, and everything came out promptly with almost no wait. You can tell he takes pride in his service.
For our mains, we had the Gorgonzola-encrusted New York strip and a filet mignon, along with a blue cheese wedge salad. Both steaks were cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and plated beautifully. The timing was spot on, and the execution was flawless.
The ambiance deserves mention as well luxurious, comfortable, and refined, with tasteful décor that makes it feel like a true upscale dining experience.
We left completely satisfied, full, and already talking about our next visit. This was an excellent meal, expertly executed, with top-tier service to match. We will absolutely be returning.
Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, my first and not the best experience here. I loved sitting at the bar to start my evening waiting for my table. Matt’s service and attention to detail was on point. Once we moved to our table, my meal left a lot to be desired. I truly felt Emma did her best to deliver top service. My steak was not what I had ordered and it was taken back, to be redelivered undercooked and then over cooked. Very disappointed, as my sides got cold and the rest of the party tried to wait for my meal to come back. Although they comped the steak and replaced the sides it was not overall a great time. Best items were my mai tai, clam chowder and creme brulee. They do offer a complimentary valet down the street with validation.

The world food tour eagerly awaited the opening of the Honolulu location of this nationwide chain of steakhouse. We’ve dined at locations in Atlanta, Seattle, Las Vegas and two in Orlando We didn’t take a chance with the valet parking at Lilia Waikiki; we parked in the International Marketplace lot as I can control where my car is parked and I had business to conduct at one of the stores.
The restaurant is in the same building as Olili Waikiki, Piko, Han No Daidokoro and Waikiki Market. It’s a nice, airy space with windows on two sides … A change from the traditional steakhouse. There is a nice bar, and a glass walled wine “cellar”. We were seated at a booth for two near the entrance.
I ordered a 2022 Shafer One Point Five cabernet from Napa ($267) and we enjoyed it with various breads and an appetizer of Caviar with Caramelized Onion Dip with chips ($49). The wine was rich, with chocolate and dark fruit … surprisingly soft for a young cab. The onion dip was very creamy, not what I expected. It came with nice, crispy potato chips but I found the dip more enjoyable when using lavosh or bread as they weren’t salted.
We chose the Porcini rub bone-in ribeye with 15yr old glazed Balsamic ($95) and the veal chop ($76, special of the day) along with Soy-glazed Brussel Sprouts with bacon ($19) and Roasted Mushrooms ($19) as sides. Everything was finished very dark and, with the subdued lighting, difficult to see details and take pictures without resorting to flash photography which I refrain from doing as to not bother other diners.
My veal chop reminded me of a thick Kurobuta pork chop; it was tender and flavorful. The brussels sprouts was delicious; the roasted mushrooms were okay. My fellow foodie said her steak was delicious, though it was hard to see what she was eating.
We had Michael box the entrees and sides and ordered a Flourless Espresso cake ($15) and a cup of Illy coffee ($6).
What did we think? The food was delicious, though somewhat one note in coloration (our fault), and service (from Michael) was fine. It’s nice to have another steakhouse in Honolulu and its location is convenient for us. Recommended, 4.25 rating.

We visited as a group.
The food wasn’t bad, but it doesn’t have enough impact to enter the Hawaiian steakhouse market at this point.
A dress code was specified when we made the reservation, but we noticed some customers wearing sleeveless tops and flip-flops inside the restaurant.
They must be having trouble attracting customers.
