We had a lovely dinner choosing vegetarian food that was so delicious. The service was excellent and we enjoyed the wine as well. It was a delightful evening!

Great service! Even though it was busy, Owner/chef came over and talked story. Very nice touch.

Happy hour dishes and wine were excellent, with attentive service. Prepared to park outside of parking lot on Friday night - very busy
Lori
Excellent dining experience. Service was great and very informative. Would definitely recommend

The kitchen can't really handle brunch - 45 min to get food, Loco Moco was good, breakfast sandwich was really lame - small, no garnish or side on the plate. Servers were helpful and apologetic.

Kapa Hale is awesome. Been here at least 5 times now, and the food, service, staff, chef and space is always excellent! Mahalo

Wow! The hype about this place is real from the excellent service to delicious food! The chef even came out to thank us for coming in. Our table of 6 ordered delicious honey buttered cornbread, tender char siu flavored tako leg, po'o beet salad ring, naan bread with tiki masala, salmon dip with toast- of course they all had cool names on the menu!!! I had the special rib eye peppercorn steak - so tender with a great sauce that I was concerned would be too heavy on the pepper but it was perfectly seasoned! Others had the where's the beef pasta?, seafood risotto, and pork chop. We tasted each others foods and all agreed that each one was fantastic! Such a great place to eat but car pool cuz parking is limited.

Always have the corny bread and tried the eggplant and where's da beef pasta. The eggplant tempura batter is so light! Little hiccup on the pasta but plan to come back.

Went back for dinner again after restaurant week. We tried the laksa risotto and the fish special. The lemongrass broth for the fish was excellent We live in Kakaako where we can walk to great places to eat, but the food here is worth the drive. Strongly recommend

A delicious restaurant week menu. The food is always great so we knew it would be a great experience!
Friendly staff. We were first seated next to a boisterous group there for a birthday and asked to be moved. They did so though the vibe I got was a little off putting. I don't think a lot of people ask their tables to be switched, but I could feel a migraine coming on. If they hadn't accommodated us, I probably would have just left. Food was good. I don't know if it's a thing with some of the more hipster restaurants here where they do too much sometimes with the flavors. It was restaurant week so we got to choose an entree and dessert. Appetizers were all the same, corn bread with honey butter, a pumpkin spice muffin with lilikoi butter, and a cranberry scone. The scone and corn bread were yummy. The lilikoi though did nothing for the pumpkin muffin and I ended up scraping it off as the two flavors did not mix well. My entree was the kfc with waffles. Waffle was good with the chicken, but there seemed to be some kind of glaze/butter(?) in the middle and that just overpowered all the flavors. I still don't know what that flavor is. My dad had the breakfast burger. Meat was good he said though he didn't feel like the teriyaki sauce brought anything to the table since the egg and cheese overpowered the flavoring. He said the chips were also bland. All in all not a bad experience. Don't know if I would ever come back though. I encourage others to at least try it.

We had a large-ish group (9 peeps) and they were amazingly accommodating. The food was fab! Some of us chose the Prix Fixe menu, others ala carte - no problem with the orders or the pacing of the meal! We brought 2 bottle of wine, ordered another, plus a few individual drinks throughout the eve - all spot on! We definitely will go back!
Patty
Food was excellent freshly prepared and tasty! Loved the Kalo hummus, seafood paella and pumpkin brûlée and hula pie. Went for restaurant week! I would come back again!
Sharon
The overall experience was great. It was a farewell lunch for a friend and we appreciated being able to stay at the table for a while even after we finished our food. And we were delighted with the complimentary ice cream to be shared. Those who ordered the burgers, fried chicken and shroom melt were very pleased with their food. The only disappointment in the food was with the avocado toast-lots of delicious toppings but hard to find the avocado. It was a bit noisy with ringing phones and several loud talkers. But we all agreed we would return to this restaurant again.

The food and service were excellent. Due to it being restaurant week, it was crowed and noisy.
