Our recent dinner at Quiora in the Ritz-Carlton fell short of the high expectations. While the service was attentive and the ambiance hi-end, the food delivered only what I would expect from mediocre restaurants – at a close to premium cost.
We chose the Wagyu ribeye ($85) and lamb pappardelle ($50), along with a side of Crispy Pee Wee potatoes ($18)—the potatoes never arrived (taken off of bill). Both mains suffered from a lack of seasoning; we had to request salt from our server.
The ribeye raised serious doubts about its claimed Wagyu or ribeye. It lacked the marbling and deckle cap expected of a true ribeye, appearing less marbled than a standard supermarket cut (photos attached for reference). Texturally, it was disappointingly tough rather than the juicy, unctuous experience one anticipates from a wagyu. For $85, even if it were genuine Wagyu, this would represent a low-grade example at best.
The handmade pappardelle showed promise but failed in execution. The noodles arrived clumped and sticky, requiring manual separation. Maybe in the attached video you may noticed that the sauce was not coated evenly. Where the sauce did adhere, its texture was pleasant, and the lamb itself was tender. However, the overall flavor profile remained bland and under-seasoned.
For Quiora we had hi expectations, although we did enjoy thoughtful service, a refined atmosphere, and clear technical skill in pasta-making, we felt that at these price points, the food was “meh”. As it stands, our first and maybe only experience at Quiora was a miss.

Quiora has a wonderful view, our waiter Ian Martin was awesome. He had great recommendations, and they were all delicious. We will definitely go back!

My husband and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for my 40th birthday and hosted a dinner for ten friends at Quiora.
To start with the positives: our server, Kennedy, was wonderful. He was warm, attentive, and offered great recommendations for the table. We especially enjoyed the arancini, ahi dip, uni pasta, and horchata trifle. Those were standouts. A few friends who ordered the pappardelle felt it could have used more seasoning, but overall the food was solid.
However, there were several aspects that were frustrating. I don’t mind paying higher prices at a luxury property, but I was surprised by the extra fees that appeared on our bill. For example, there was a $6 “martini upcharge” added to each $16 martini. Since we ordered several, it would have been helpful to be informed of this beforehand. We were also charged $6 each for sides of sauce and Parmesan cheese, which felt excessive. Ultimately, the total came out to over $150 per person, and the value didn’t match that price point.
We also encountered issues prior to our reservation. We originally booked for nine guests and asked to add one more when a friend flew in to surprise me. The restaurant told us that increasing the party size meant we would need to submit everyone’s orders in advance. I didn’t want to ask my guests to do that, especially for just one additional person. The back-and-forth over this became more frustrating than it needed to be, and honestly made me regret choosing the restaurant. Had I not put down a deposit I would have tried to change the venue at this point. When we arrived, the staff still seemed flustered that our party size had changed, which didn’t create a welcoming atmosphere.
For the level of pricing and the setting, I expected a more accommodating and seamless experience. A simple “We’ll take care of that for you” would have gone a long way.

Looking over the city from the roof top of the Ritz-Carlton was amazing. The servixe was top notch. Food presentation was beautiful. Falvor was good but my lamb pappardelle, the lamb shank was slightly tough and under seasoned. Noodles wer cooked to perfection. My wife had Hokkaido uni + crab spagetti and it was superb. The play on caprese was interesting with fried mozzarella. Only complaint there was the breading could have been seasoned. The star of the whole night was the smoked ahi dip. Wonderful flavor.

Incredible spot for dinner. The view, the food, and the service were all spot on. Ian was our server and recommended a few items that our family really enjoyed. Don’t go without getting the uni pasta.

Truly had a lovely dinner date here! The skyline and ocean view is a magnificent treat while dining, and the staff are all so sweet and courteous. The pasta was hands down the best I’ve had in Hawai’i and I’m still thinking about that uni pasta, specifically. Super rich, umami, and bursting with fresh uni flavor- and the noodles were the PERFECT level of al dente texture. Such a decadent treat! I’m not usually a tiramisu person either, but theirs was notably delicious. This would be a great choice for a special occasion meal 🙂 Plus that evening there was a high powered telescope set up and a lovely individual was setting it up so people could enjoy a peek at Saturn and other delights!

Bit snooty for ordering most of their products from Sysco. Would’ve thought being a Marriot chain they’d have traditional Italian food but it’s definitely all fusion. That being said the salad and dessert wasn’t bad. Cheesecake was fire and the arugula/ dressing was all fresh and crisp

We went to Quiora at the Ritz for Mother’s Day brunch. I think my son in law did a great job making this reservation for us.
The food did not taste bad it was good but nothing that Wow’d us. The first you notice is the place looked like a pop up buffet. Like they converted a conference room to be a make shift buffet. And for the price, and being the Ritz you would expect a wider variety of food choices.
I could say more but you get the idea. I would say that for the Ritz, they fell short. This would have been a cheaper, nice regular buffet but not for the Ritz.
Oh and we asked for coffee after our meal and it was barely warm. I should have asked for a glass of ice to pour it in to make iced coffee!

We visited here for an anniversary and the food and service were great as always. It was or crowded that day, and we had a reservation before the sunset, so we enjoyed the nice sunset sky over our starter. This time we went with the set menu they offered, and everything was very delicious. We added Eggplant Parmesan on the side and it was on-point.

Good food, some weird experiences and interactions with staff – seems like poor communication between various staff. But it all worked out okay. View and atmosphere are good.
