    The ambience is retro bold and chic. The music, a cool trip-hop vibe, immediately sets the tone. Our server was friendly, and perfectly attentive without being intrusive. I wish she had introduced herself; and there was no napkin at my place setting, but when I asked the issue was quickly corrected. The hand-crafted cocktails were fun and food delicious, dessert the perfect final note to the meal. We left very full, a little tipsy, and extremely happy.

    We loved Heavenly! What a hidden gem in the bustle of Waikiki Beach! It was the perfect spot for our family of five to enjoy Christmas Eve dinner, sharing pupus and listening to Christmas music. The food was so fresh and tasted wonderful. Thank you, Heavenly! We'll be back!

    A fave of ours in Waikīkī! Quaint & tiny but cozy & fun. Absolutely delicious food for decent prices! Service is exceptional (Jamie is fabulous!) - the whole team is collaborative and helps each other out which makes everything seemless. Do yourself a favour and book a few reservations during your trip - you won’t regret it!

    Such a gem. Have come here often over the years. The brunch service on the beach is among the top 3 on the island. Fabulous setting and our waiter Rajah could not have been better. From the time we arrived and were so well taken care of by the valet and host till we left with good bye’s from our waiter and the smiles and thoughtful parking of the valet attendant, it could not have been a better experience. Without requesting we had the best table on the lanai, a cozy spot right on the beach front in the shade of a beautiful tree. The food we ordered was delicious, including the just-out—of-the -oven-baked perfectly right sized three pastry dish with great toppings. The pineapple guava one was unusual and divine with the banana bread, though I enjoyed it on others too. The coconut based sauce on the ahi with lettuce and taro chips was also amazing. Definitely highly recommend!!
