New American Restaurants in Honolulu, HI

“We loved both the food and the wine and the service. The place is gorgeous too. We had a wonderful time.“

“An unforgettable culinary experience! We chose the à la carte menu and were impressed by every single dish. Each plate was beautifully presented and full of unique, bold flavors that showcased local ingredients in creative ways. The smoked ahi cigars and the bone marrow were absolute standouts. The service was warm and professional, and the atmosphere was stylish yet relaxed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for fine dining with a modern twist in Honolulu.“

“TLDR: Melissa is AWESOME! But, if you are gluten free (ie no soy sauce with wheat) or allergic to mushrooms, you can’t eat here.

My husband and I combined have those allergies and Melissa was very kind to ask the chef if we could be accommodated. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Melissa was so respectful of how she informed us - aaaaaaand then offered us a complimentary cocktail (which was on point) and a reservation down the road at a nice restaurant that she knew could accommodate our allergies!

I don’t envy her for effectively having to kick us out, but she (and the entire staff) were so gracious to us. Thank you Melissa!“

“Great little spot, wide variety of options from seafood to pasta to steak. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had the Risotto (super creamy), the lobster ravioli special (best ever) and the Tavern Burger (perfectly done and an out of this world bun). It was a Monday night and pretty slow inside, but more people need to be coming here, highly recommended.“

“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

“Five stars for taste, atmosphere, and friendliness.
It's really delicious, the portions are plentiful, and there are a lot of menus. There's a Korean menu, so I enjoyed it very comfortably.
Good cost-effectiveness and good value for money“

“Amazing , delicious, out of this world“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“This place is seriously the best for breakfast. The service is so friendly, and the whole restaurant is spotless. I love the chill vibe; it's perfect for a relaxing morning. And the food? Absolutely amazing! I highly recommend checking it out. Plus, there are no birds and insects.“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“Good food and staff Great service“

“My husband was in search of some good fish in Waikiki. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not a seafood person so I got the chicken pasta and he tried snapper for the first time. Both of us were blown away by how tasty everything was. The portions were huge too! Out of all the places we had been to during our trip, this place is at the top. Even as a non fish eater, I loved it! There can be a wait, but it is well worth it. Try it, you’ll love it.“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“Amazing dinner and friendly staff from bar to dining room! Our must every time we visit Oahu!“

“So welcoming ❤️ simple dinner or a drink at night next to the beach, priceless“

“Food is fresh healthy & onolicious👍🏻👍🏻 The brisket musubi & brisket Katsu bomb👍🏻👍🏻“

“By far one of the greatest experiences from food to extremely exemplary service. We started with the tako escargot, then Mac nut covered fish and steak with frites. It was such an incredible experience we cancelled our Saturday dinner plans and came back for dinner. We come from big island and every time we come to Oahu, about seven or eight times a year, we eat at the merrimans. By far the best of the merrimans on the various islands. Thank you to Jackson for great service.“

“Food and service was extraordinary! Welcomed with Mariposa's signature ‘popovers' that simply melted in your mouth! Scallops were chosen as the main course-in two distinct dishes (one very rich and the other -creamy, curry and spicy). Presentation was exquisite-everything was prepared to ‘perfection' and tasted wonderful. Audrey was incredibly helpful and responsive (as were the other Mariposa servers). The setting, ambience, FOOD & SERVICE all contributed to an enjoyable and special birthday celebration. Definitely one of our most memorable lunches in a very long time! Mahalo nui loa!“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“Just the best food, staff. Always happy. Always tasty dishes. Their wine dinners are fun. Salmon’s always perfect. A gnocchi & beef dish was especially tasty.“

“Good tasting vegetarian food. Ordered mushroom linguine with an appetizer of sauteed spinach. Mixed it together to create an one good tasting vegetarian dish. Their matcha milk tea tastes good as well. Parked on the street. Street parking is free on Sunday. Additional parking behind their building.“

“this place is a Crazy Rich Asian vibe and i love it. Chef Anthony and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. A family style, off-menu 9 dish dinner was delicious. i was full by dish 7 and barely had enough room for dish 9(desert).

BTW, this place is PERFECT for private events!“

“Great atmosphere great food“

“Great food ! Our server Elaine was exceptional!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Great service and delicious food! 🩷“

“The entire meal was BOMBBB the rice was the perfect texture, corn was… well you can’t really go wrong with corn lol, even the extra salad was good but the beef was the star of the meal. It was super tasty and the texture was to dieee for. Would’ve got another one but they’re closed for the night.“

“The food, service and value is REALLY good!“

“Food is absolutely delicious!... Anyday, any special“

“been to 3 parties in the last 4 months all catered by Ige’s . I like their bar b q pork.“

“Great place. I stop in most days. Very friendly employees that remember you. When I have large orders for work, they get it done pretty fast too! :)“

“Highly recommend this bar! It's in the Hilton Waikiki. The drinks are phenomenal and the bartenders are top tier! Shout-out to Dana, Blake, and Massimo. Great conversation, great live music on certain nights. And you can order good food from the restaurant next door for the bar. Happy hour specials and great mixed drinks!“

“Great seafood, to s f choices amazing service and listening to John Akapo by the pool is amazing“

“Great food, friendly staff, location, location, location!“

“Great Birthday Dinner, the ambiance was excellent. The food was great and so was the service, thank you Stage ❤️ it“

“It's my neighborhood so I use it often.This is a Whole Foods store in Kahala Mall, right next to Whole Foods, and although it looks like a pub at first glance, the food is delicious. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy just the food without having to order alcohol.The daily menu is a great deal!I often go on ?Taco Tuesday on Tuesdays. The store opens at 1pm in the afternoon.“

“We love crepes, anyway but you never know if you have never eaten someplace new. This was a very pleasant surprise! After walking up and down the side walk on the east side of Oahu, we decided on this place. So cute and everyone there was so nice and helpful. Only thing we did not know was there was a gluten free option. The green drink & iced teas were served in glass (not plastic) even though we were sitting outside. Both drinks were very good & we were pleased to be handed paper straws vs plastic. Also, another nice touch was the real wooden plates our tasty lunch orders were brought to us on. Now we know why this place gets such excellent reviews!“

“Everything on the menu Ono! Even the rice! You gotta go check um out! Onolicious !!!!“

“The space is really good. The food was really good in my taste. I wish they had some toddler type foods but then again you're paying by event. They usually accommodate to the party. The people are friendly to work with. I love that Samoan lady who helped us ??“

“Great wine pairing dinners!!!!! And always a fabulous sunset. What more could you want these days?“

“love the people and the food good people+good food= Happy people!“

“Breakfast buffet is great, and good bang for your buck (~$25/person) compared to most breakfast places around Waikiki. Great food and selection, great views, great service. Definitely recommend. It can get pretty busy though, so get there early.“

“Hawaii
20241218 visits
It is said to be a popular store in travel magazines.
The atmosphere of the hotel is also stylish.
I had the standard pancakes.
The terrace seats are close to the sandy beach and have a nice view.“

“Very fun place to see the best Hawaiian band in an intimate setting. Food was ok but drinks were great. Service isn't great but its pretty difficult with a band playing and people dancing and singing everywhere. But the food isn't why I went here. Bathrooms are super tiny so you have to be patient.“

“💯 on point with everything“

“Has very friendly staff in the operations office and was very helpful with all the questions I had. The facility is well secured and has their employees in their best interest. They even provide shuttle service to and from the facility to the nearest bus stop for those who don’t have a car.“

“First of all, this is not our first visit here for me and my husband. But this time we had our 2 kids with us. We walked in on a Father’s Day weekend on a Saturday, expecting no tables for a family of 4. They were able to sit us by the bar. And it was amazing, the food is great we had the MEGAHAWK, oysters, thick-cut bacon, keiki steak plate and very refreshing watermelon sorbet. Willian and Brian were friendly and superb with their service. As always we will be back again soon. THE STEAK IS NOT A MISTAKE ON THIS ONE!!! 👍🏼💯✅- R.C.“

“Here's the deal with Lucky Strike Honolulu.

If you're at Ala Moana and you want a break from shopping this is a nice place to play some games, have a beer and chill for a while. The food is normal bar type food, be aware the menu is limited. But! They have the best truffle fries that I've found so far. I like the place because they have two pinball machines. Pinball is my game of choice when it comes to arcade games.

If like me, you like drinking at a not so crowded bar. Then head upstairs, yes they have a small upstairs bar and a four lane bowling alley, plus a couple of dart boards. Come by and hang out. It's my favorite place to drink during the week, it's usually empty or close to it.“

“Great place for lunch, a little out of the way and easy to miss. there’s a pool and deck chairs as it’s part of the Hyatt.

Food was good, very generous portions and service was great. We had the nachos, Korean fried chicken, fish & chips & fish tacos which were all delicious.“
