- LLindsayKansas City / Kansas •8 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWhat a fantastic spot by the beach! It offers a great view of the shopping area while being elevated enough to escape the hustle and bustle. We absolutely loved it. The food was excellent and reasonably priced, especially for such a prime location. Definitely a 10/10 experience! Don’t skip on the beer flight and make sure to try out some delicious beet hummus. It’s SOO delicious! My kids are picky and enjoyed it.More infoMaui Brewing Company - WaikikiPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•3.9
- OOffice ManagerSeattle / Eastern Washington •5 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024Cons: First staff member (male) to approach our table silently filled our water; no greeting, no invitation to make our way to the buffet. Buffet didn’t have eggs and bacon very undercooked. Coffee was self serve and ran out, making us wait for more to brew. Crab would run out and we’d have to keep checking the line for refill. Saw a guest cutting the prime rib for himself because no one there to serve. Pros: The rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Obviously understaffed and they were doing their best. Fun to speak with the pastry chef, who was encouraging guests to try the stolli, which was delicious. All the desserts and crab was very good. In spite of the shortcomings, we enjoyed our time there.More infoMakana Lani, A Dining ExperiencePrice: Expensive• American• Waikiki•3.4
- EElenaAustin •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024Nice ambience if sitting on the outdoor patio. Our dinner experience was great, live music was fun. This is a good place for fried food lovers, I’m not, but had no trouble finding, my mahi tacos were delicious. I like fresh vegetables, they are hard to find in restaurants, surprised that the vegetables garnish (strips of carrots and celery) were fresh and tasty. We liked the ambience so much, we reserved another dinner for next day.More infoShorefyre International MarketplacePrice: Moderate• American• Honolulu•4.1
- OTOpenTable DinerHawaii •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2022It was a very nice way to end the year! I’m glad that we decided to dine-in at your restaurant for the Yew Year’s Eve. I am even thinking to go back for the next year if possible😊 The buffet was great with many choices from seafood to steaks. It was quiet and festive and seemed everyone was having a good time. The service was wonderful as well!More infoHalekulani Bakery & Restaurant at HalepunaPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.5
