    The food and service were excellent! Sheri greeted us warmly and had a great way about her! There was a live musician playing which was a nice surprise. This is a place for foodies! Each menu selection which arrived was off the charts delicious! This restaurant deserves 5 stars but the only thing holding it back to be one of the best in Waikiki is the ambience. If they only changed the carpet, it would make a huge difference. Cozy it up a bit. A restaurant designer could probably make a couple of inexpensive changes and make a huge difference. Would highly recommend Arden Waikiki for its food and service.

    'Twas a few days before Christmas and so to no one's surprise, Arden Waikiki was crowded and getting a reservation was a delightful prize. Ho! Ho! Ho! The Prix Fixe menu was what we ordered and the Butternut Squash Soup, which was the starter, was to die for. It was perfect! Hubby and I both ordered the miso butterfish as our main entree. The fish was done just right, but the miso sauce was a bit thin and weak. The sides: a wild rice ball, and a parsnip mash were good, but there could have been better sides to go with the dish. The dessert, a mocha and chestnut trifle, was very good but not quite excellent. Still, it was a very nice repast. Merry Christmas, everyone!

    This place is great, the food was outstanding, you must try the AHI steak. Overall, it is for sure a perfect score because of the quality of the food, however the service at the beggining was slow to start, drinks must be serve a tad quicker.

    Arden does not disappoint! The furikake fries were so good. The hamachi sashimi with lilikoi and lamb lollipops were fantastic. My favorite dishes are the roasted hirabara carrots with goat cheese and the mushroom rice. The baked Hawaii for dessert was the perfect ending.

    We had been wanting to try Arden since they opened, but hadn't gotten around to it. On a whim I looked to see if there were any last minute reservations available, and there were. The service was superb from the hostess greeting through paying the check. We asked our server for a wine recommendation and he hit the nail on the head. The pairing was perfect with the mushroom rice, lamb lollipop and the tomatoes. We will definitely be going back to try more of their shareable plates. Warning, they say that the quantities are meant for 2 people to share. If you're not big eaters, they're a bit large. What was my personal favorite? The tomatoes were a symphony flavors that work brilliantly together.
