went there for their thanksgiving meal and it was sold out by my reservation time (and i was early). salad was delicious, server and hostess were amazing.

We were seated promptly for our reservation, and the servers were very helpful. The butternut squash soup was excellent.

Went to Basalt with my two adult children for Thanksgiving dinner (the holiday, not the food). Shared squash coconut curry soup and lemon pepper shrimp recommended by waiter. Both were outstandingly good! Entrees included shutome (a sushi grade swordfish) and mushroom risotto, both of which were excellent. And for dessert, mochi brownie and POG mousse, great choices. We tried the rum-based sangria, but didn't care for it and weren't charged for it. Overall, an excellent experience for the family!

Our family had a wonderful dinner at Basalt. It is tucked away in a market so you actually get away from all the Waikiki madness.
The Salmon Ochuzuke was a highlight as well as the shrimp appetizer.
We wanted to give a specific shout out to our server Matt and all the staff. Matt was extremely kind and was attentive to our every need (specifically with our toddler). The surprise at the end of dinner really blew the experience out of the water.

Our server Katie was super friendly and the food was good. We just had a simple breakfast, but my mom likes how close it is to the hotel.

Basalt is the most surprisingly amazing restaurant during our trip to Oahu. Such a great meal, everything we ordered were so delicious. We loved the ADOBO CHICKEN WINGS, the BOWL OF LOBSTER BISQUE, the RIBEYE STEAK, the MIXED SEAFOOD PAELLA. The perfect meal is not complete until you have the desserts: A Grand Marnier Mousse Cake (must-try) and Basque Cheesecake.
We came here for brunch and it was great! The charcoal buttermilk pancakes are very fluffy. It tastes so good and even without its unique look I would come here and eat it again. Be sure to get the guava sauce and maple sauce together. We also ordered pork loco moco, it’s good but not show stopping. I wanted to also have some cooked veggies and although it’s not on the menu the chef still cooked it for me.

Basalt is a hidden gem stashed away in an ABC market variant. It's one of the best restaurants in Honolulu but few know if its existence. Anna was particularly attentive and made some outstanding recommendations. I highly suggest visiting Basalt and ordering the crab cakes and catch of the day.

Had a great time at the bar with Jon and Justin! Our salad and pork chop were delicious. Jon and Justin made the evening with their amazing hospitality!
Great outdoor patio location. Friendly service with good food. Prime rib was tender had good taste. The chicken had great taste and was moist. Several years ago, we had their Miso Butterfish but it is no longer on the menu. We would have returned several times since then, but without the Butterfish, my wife had no interest.

As locals, we enjoy going to Basalt even in Waikiki. It helps that they validate parking and the food is so good. Loved that they participated in Restaurant Week too!

I haven't written a review in so long, but OMFG my dinner was delicious. 😭 I had the salmon ochazuke and it was the best thing I've eaten in a restaurant in as long as I can remember. My husband had the ribs with guava BBQ sauce and they were delicious too, but I'll be dreaming of the ochazuke until I can return one day.

Basalt was once again fantastic! Under the new chef, Lance Kosasa, the food was as expected, tasty and delectable! We had a party of 4 and everyone was pleased and will promote for others to attend! Thank you!
