The restaurant and attentive service were lovely! It was raining, so there was plenty of indoor space that did not take away from the Diamond Head and beach views. Food was best served family-style, and 6 plates were enough for a party of 6. The live hula performer was a nice bonus. The hosts also allowed us to tour the surrounding areas.

Beautiful venue by the ocean! Sunset views were perfect! Live band with hula dancer was awesome. Service was great! Food is pricey for small portions, but salad dressing on Cobb Salad was fresh and tasted wonderful.

Service and Hawaiian show was splendid. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Food was just ok. Fish dish did not taste fresh. Pizza was ok just tasted like a pre made pie, flatbread, thin crust or thick tortilla style. Cobb salad I absolutely did not like, was not presented like a Cobb should be, it was light and mixed lacked elements and flavor, it was more like a mixed salad.. Pins colada was a little too chunky with ice. Personally, go for drinks and show. Not for food, total waste of money.

Fantastic food in a lovely and beautiful setting! High prices for dinner ment items and drinks, yet remember where you are! Paradise!!!! Bartender was attentive. Waiter was adequate... table next to us had a bubbly, friendly, professional female server who probably made their experience somewhat better than ours with a “dry” server. Glad we tried this historic eatery!

Lovely venue with oceanfront dining and live music and dancer. Very expensive for what you get - so definitely a special occasion splurge. $25 drinks. $50 entrees. You're paying for the location and entertainment. Like a mini-luau. We saw a lot of tables having just drinks and appetizers or desserts. The pork rib appetizer was excellent. The tuna poke was just okay and seemed a little off or slimy. The pizza was so-so for the kids. I had to send back the Hamachi/yellowtail entree because it was 80% bones and no fish, but what fish was there was flavorful and tasty. The mahi daily special was quite good but at $50 for mahi, is should have been! The coconut cake dessert and mai tai were highlights of the meal as was the fresh bread. We enjoyed the experience a lot but do think the food was overpriced.

Beautiful environment- felt like at a luau. You are paying for the location and entertainment. $60 for two (very good) cocktails while we waited for our table. Dinner was slow though - an hour before getting food after ordering. The kids at the table next to us watching videos on full sound in their ipods ruined the experience a bit (even my kids commented on it). Not the restaurant fault but the long delays in service or offering refills was.

Went on New Year's Eve at around 5:30pm for drinks and appetizers to watch the sunset and live entertainment as we usually do when coming to Waikiki. Food and drink prices were extremely high. The steak salad dish was very odd. Our waitress agreed with our comments on the above items. She told us she was hoping to be off early to enjoy her new year's...

Beautiful spot. Pretty good if pricey food, attentive staff who went over menu and were great. Good drink selection and light reading. Vegetarian options available. I liked my açaí sherbet bowl but it didn’t need the honey so I’d omit that next time. The sherbet is sweet enough without it
Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options and the menu is health focused. Several salads should also be able to omit animal proteins easily.

Great cocktails but it is not open till 10pm like advertised. When I noted it to the staff and asked them to fix it on Google Maps, a person told me that they are going back to be open till 10 next week. Nice to know but not helpful for someone who is leaving the island and just wanted to get last coconut cake martini which is absolutely amazing by the way. I wished the bartender would be more flexible at 9:15 giving that they supposed to be still open at that time

“House Without A Key” in my favorite Harekura It was a place where you could spend a special time while being surrounded by the sea breeze of Waikiki ✨
This oceanfront restaurant is named after the 1925 novel “The Unlocked House” This is my favorite place to visit every time I go to Hawaii ✨
We ate it under a Kiawe tree that is over 100 years old, while watching the sea dyed by the setting sun. Signature cocktails “Mai Tai” & “Tide Pool”
The tropical sweetness and refreshing scent of the mai tai and the beautiful blue of the tide pool harmonize perfectly with the emerald green ocean that spreads out in front of you 🌊 It was like experiencing a story woven by Hawaii's nature and culture 👏
What stole my heart most of all was the graceful hula performance by a former Miss Hawaii🌺 The sight of them dancing on a stage illuminated by the setting sun with the soft sound of waves and music in the background will soothe your soul ✨
The ``magic time'' at dusk was spectacular, and the ever-changing colors of the sky like a watercolor painting and the pleasant sea breeze created an extraordinary romantic moment 💕
I decided to use the time I spent here as a source of peace and do my best again✨ A special time spent in Hawaii 💎
Thank you for the wonderful cocktails🍸 and the relaxing time😊 I will visit you again if I go to Hawaii ✨ Thank you for the meal😋
Beside the fact that you are in paradise, this restaurant has great friendly service and top notch food. Some items seemed a bit odd, but tasted absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu was of top quality and no one in our group was ever disappointed. The drinks are very good, including non alcoholic. We ate here 3 out of the 5 dinners we had on the island, as well as a brunch. Highly recommend!
The food was delicious and entertainment was beautiful. Perfect place to have dinner after a busy day enjoying Waikiki. Elegant and elevated feel. Our waiter Ian was outstanding and understood the menu perfectly, even gave excellent recommendations. We were very pleased with our experience.

A must dinner on Waikiki beach. We had dinner there, the food and service were excellent, really, and this was amplified by the sunset and live music for the whole time we were there.

Best place to have dinner while watching the Pacific sunset This is a restaurant located inside a high-end Japanese hotel, and reservations one month in advance are required. Since the day we visited was Thanks Giving Holiday, they charged an additional 19%. You can enjoy Hawaiian song and dance and even order and drink cocktails. The employees were friendly and seemed like they were doing their best at their jobs.
