Get together to celebrate birthday/retirement. Service was awesome! Food was delicious and variety was just right where you don't get overwhelmed with the selection. Great place for small group. Hidden little gem. Foodland Farms does great with their restaurants.

Eleven is always a delight! We brought visitors from out of town here last night for two cocktails and it was the perfect place to enjoy the drinks and catch up in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our most recent visit to the Eleven brunch was disappointing. We first experienced the brunch Dec 2023. Back then it was amazing. Every dish was carefully curated and it did not feel like a buffet, or mass produced. The service was always fantastic and the meal would finish with a rotating plate of delectable desserts. We frequented this brunch every 2 months and enjoyed the changing menu. We were thrilled that this brunch was becoming more popular, but maybe it was a victim of its own success? Over the last 6 months, we have noticed a decline in quality. At first we thought that it was maybe an off day, but the last 3 visits have been very disappointing. They were slammed over the Valentines weekend so we gave them a pass. The food would take a long time to be refilled and empty pans would greet us when we lifted the covers. Our water glasses were never refilled unless we flagged down one of the wait staff. Our last visit on April 6, 2025 was the most disappointing. The food was subpar at best. The rosemary and parmesan scones were dry and hard. We took one bite and didn't finish. The wheat berry and chickpea salad was bland and in great need of seasoning. The harvest salad and tropical fruit medley only had kiwi, pineapple, strawberries and blueberries. The roasted asparagus was overly smoky. The kimchee hash browns had good flavor, but unfortunately steamed and soggy from being covered. The crusts on the french toast were so hard, we could only eat the inner portion. The pork loin and miso salmon were both cooked to death and bone dry. AWFUL. The pasta e Fagioli was so salty it was almost inedible. The roasted strip loin was on the rare side, but preferable to being hammered. After less than an hour, the waiter asked us if we were done and we had to ask about dessert. He almost rolled his eyes before bringing them to us. Those were good. It was unpleasant and we probably won't return as the quality and care is no longer there. It is sad to see such a decline.

We went for the Sunday brunch and all the food was really tasty and interesting. We went pretty early so it wasn't crowded so the service for drinks and other things we needed was very fast. I liked the prime rib and the Kim chee hash browns the most.

Eleven is our go to place for Sunday Buffet after an overnight shift from work. Food is awesome and service is great!!

This is the second time I went. It was very good last time but this time, service was ok but quality of food wasn't very good this time. And curving table was disappointing because they cut meat already and dried out. They should slice upon request.

Open Table said there were limited seats and none at the bar - the bar was totally empty. I asked for the bar, if it were available and we were taken to a table. The tables were nice enough, just not the experience we were looking for. The server took the menu away after we ordered our first drinks and we had to ask for it back to select the wine. The food was tasty and well prepared. We had to ask for the roast beef as it was not obvious in the buffet (and, again, no menu). The same with desert - we had to ask.

This is a repost since my earlier post was deleted. Went there on December 21st , service/ food not good . What's even worst is after I paid with my credit card , and it cleared on my account they ADDED more $$ on top of my original total . Called foodland corporate on the 24th , they called me back on the 26th, but they couldn't help me , she gave my # to the manager to call me back , but 1 week later No call Yet. !

We went there with my family and MIL for a Christmas Eve brunch. The staff was good but didn’t refill many items such as the seafood soup, horseradish (prime rib) and deserts. The buffet was good for the price point and kids under 12yrs old eat for half the cost for an adult. I felt the spread could have been better with the amount of guests dining. Satisfactory restaurant for a cheap ($35/adult) buffet.
Kid-friendliness: We brought our children and the cost was half for my son (9 yrs old) and my daughter (12 yrs old) cost $35.

This bar gives off an upscale vibe, but don’t be fooled—it’s just a basic, overpriced spot trying to look high-end. The drinks are overpriced, and on top of that, they charge extra fees for cocktails. The place is almost always dead, and it’s surprising they're still in business. It’s clear they’re struggling, and honestly, the experience just doesn’t justify the prices. Wouldn’t recommend if you're looking for a quality night out.
Pretty typical decor for a nice upscale cocktail bar. Never really had food here, just some light apps which are usually good. This time, was definitely not a positive experience relative to previous visits. Ordered drinks and some popcorn, and the bar had about 5 people. 35 minutes later we got our drinks with the bare minimum service. From start to finish service was flat to put it nicely. I’ve worked in F&B for nearly 15 years, and this just wasn’t it. For nearly $20 a drink, you can’t just ask “what would you like?” and then drop it off 35 min later without batting an eye. Probably pass on this place in the future. Too many good places out there to chance wasting a “no kids” night out. Drinks: Woks of Life & HNL Sour.

What a find! After all the island cocktails, it’s refreshing to find a whiskey bar in Honolulu. The bartender was friendly and we had a great conversation about all things whiskey. She made me a great seasonal smoked old fashioned with ginger, and then I followed it up with a Toronto. Was sorely tempted by the sazerac and the vieux carré. Next Time!
Oh, and the bites were good too. The salmon and the maple sugar bacon were both good choices.

We tried to go for brunch which, according to their own advertisement, last seating is at 2:30pm on weekends. We got there at 2:15pm and they refused to seat us. Looking at other reviews, this seems to be a frequent occurrence.
