Reviews
Our evening started with our server Jason who provided great service the entire evening. He was on top of his game evening to the point of noticing when the coke needed refilling. I wish I could give six stars for his service.
Our first course were a couple of appetizers, the Teri beef and seared ahi wrapped in arugula and Panko crust. Outstanding! Next our Cesar salad which was as expected. For the main course we had the aged ribeye steak in the 14 oz portion and unless you’re starved that size worked for everyone at our table. And that was good because the 22 oz listed on the menu was not available anyway. We had the ribeye in both medium and medium rare and both were cooked perfect. One in our party had the filet mignon and graciously shared a taste with all. It was so tender it practically melted in your mouth.
The ribeyes were great tasting and everything I’d expected it to be. None were disappointed. The side dishes were also prepared well.
Our last dish was the Kona Mud Pie. This would be the only part of the meal I’d give 4 stars to but that’s just me being a little bit over critical.
We would definitely visit again the next time we are in Honolulu. Free parking at the Marriott if you get your ticket validated or $25 for valet parking. As a side note Jason let us know about the fireworks going off at 8 pm at the Hilton which is visible if you go out on the lanai. So I included a couple pictures of the outside lanai and pool area below.
I had declined any alcohol and opted for a mango lemonade followed up with strawberry lemonade. Both were overly sweet, but I didn’t mind.
I opted for the mixed vegetables comprised of zucchini and squash.
We arrived with reservations at 5:30 and we were seated within 5 minutes at a glass topped table booth that comfortably sat our party of four. It is a wooden bench so if you’d like more cushioning for your bottom,choose the tables with chairs. Our overall experience was 2.5 hrs and we saw the sky turn its beautiful colors at sunset while we ate.
We received exceptional personalized attentive service from Jason our server. He would slip in and refill our sodas and water without us even noticing. We’d give him a 6 star review if we could.
We ordered a house drink lilikoi Lychee drink made with rum. Not a sweet drink as the lime keeps it sour but refreshing after a day on the sands of Oahu.
Appetizers were delicious with panko crusted seared Ahi wrapped in arugula. The fish was seared perfectly and had a mild flavored sauce to dip the sushi cut into. We also ordered a teriyaki stake appetizer. The Teri sauce was a bold sauce and the beef tender stripes serviced with teriyaki drenched spinach leaves.
Our main meals were a choice of Rib Eye either classic style or 30 day aged. We only wanted steak but there is a large variety of fish specials as well.
When deciding on the main meal, I must say The menu was confusing. They seem to combine their sister restaurant Sansei’s menu with the DK menu. So they list early bird specials but we found out that is only for Sansei’s menu and only on Sunday and Monday evenings. So don’t be mislead by prices.
On this Friday evening, They were out of bone in rib eyes for both the classic and 30 day aged Rib eye. They had a discount for the cuts offered since they weren’t bone in, but it was not listed on the menu. We had a choice of 14 or 22 oz on the classic but the only coice was a 22 oz no bone aged cut. We ordered it as a meal which is $15.00 additional and includes a soup or salad and choice of mashed potatoes or rice and veggies. We had 3 Caesar salads and one of us ordered a lettuce wedge with balsamic dressing and bacon bits. We ordered the sautéed mushrooms and garlic fries as sides. The fries have a lot of garlic!
Dessert was Kona mud pie made with a dark chocolate crust with macadamia nuts and coconut. Fantastic wrap to a delicious dinner.
To top it off at 8:00 we watched from the rood top the fire work show over the bay at the Hilton. The pool area was a great viewing spot.
The over all experience was very enjoyable and great food. Be prepared for about $100 per person with appetizers and drinks and shared dessert. We went home with leftovers.
Staff was nice and accommodating. Inside was air conditioned and comfortable and the patio seating had great views of Waikiki Beach. The steaks were on the higher end of the price scale but they have early bird specials which can’t save you about 10 to $15 on their selections if you’re looking for a deal.
Overall we had and enjoyable dining experience and I would not hesitate coming back here again.
Justin gave great suggestions for my wife and the type of steak she’d want. I had the Shichimi Spice Seared Salmon. That sauce, wow! The Brussel Sprouts were cooked perfectly!
Did I mention the view? Watching the sunset and thinking about the many places we visited during our trip was a blessing. Justin even gave us suggestions on our request for authentic Hawaiian food we want to try while we’re visiting.
If you’re looking for a great atmosphere with top notch service, look no further.
**THEY VALIDATE YOUR PARKING** You can park in the Marriott parking garage for up to four hours. That saves you over $55! When in Waikiki, you’ll quickly learn that it cost to park everywhere. That was an additional benefit we didn’t expect! Remember that parking is further in the building.
Expect a 5 minute walk to the restaurant, we’ll worth it. We took the parking garage to the lobby. We followed the signs that said restaurant. It opens up into a foyer. Take those elevators (on the left) to floor 3, DK is on the left.
