- GgeraldVIPHawaii •39 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis is the second time we celebrated New Years Day at Wolfgang’s steak house. Pricey I know but you want to start the new year with awesome food and worry later how much I paid. Service was again excellent. Praises to our server Allie. If next year goes good I’ll be back again.More infoWolfgang's Steak House - Waikiki BeachPrice: Very Expensive• American• Waikiki•4.5
- JJeffCalgary / Southern Alberta •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoHad an amazing experience at the House Without A Key, right on the ocean! The atmosphere were incredible—nothing beats dining with the sound of the waves and live Hawaiian music in the background. The food was just as impressive. We tried the chicken breast and mahi mahi and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ambiance was relaxed but still stylish, perfect for a sunset dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive, making it a perfect spot for a laid-back but memorable meal. Can’t wait to return!More infoHouse Without a KeyPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Waikiki•4.6
- JJohnOrlando / Central Florida East •10 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWhat could be better than a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while you eat? The food! Our dinners were outstanding. My wife said it was the best steak she’d ever had, and my daughter said the same about here pasta. All four of our meals were excellent, no one was disappointed. My only complaint is that we were all too full to even share a piece of Hula pie!More infoHula Grill - WaikikiPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.6
