Bit snooty for ordering most of their products from Sysco. Would’ve thought being a Marriot chain they’d have traditional Italian food but it’s definitely all fusion. That being said the salad and dessert wasn’t bad. Cheesecake was fire and the arugula/ dressing was all fresh and crisp

Got the celebration package for my wife's birthday. I expected a tiny flower vase and got a large arrangement with red and white roses & lilies. The food was delicious, and the service was chill. Highly recommend!

Order a still glass bottle of Evian and the spicy cavatelli bolognese and you will rate this 5 stars every time. Marshall is a great server.

We had a terrific evening - delicious food, tasty cocktails, great service, fun atmosphere. We'll be back the next time we're in Honolulu!

My time at Quiora is always phenomenal. I make sure to go every time I am in Hawaii. Everyone is very attentive and the food is amazing!
Annette
Disappointing to say the least. I have a pepper allergy and the chef didn't know that chili flakes were related to chili powder. Our waiter neglected to tell us about the specials because he was too flustered when I handed him my allergy card. We heard about them when another waiter told the table next to us well after we had ordered. The food isn't really Italian ( since when is caprese salad made with fried mozzarella?) and the pasta was mushy and bland. It was a waste of $300 for a mediocre meal and experience for two. Go elsewhere.

They were very accommodating to our seating request and we had a great view of the bay. The drinks were delightful and unique. The atmosphere was perfect for our relaxing meal of octopus, salmon, and waygu beef paired with limited wine selection. The staff was professional and we were not disappointed by our dinner, the environment, and how accommodating everyone was.

Outstanding food and service to celebrate my wife's birthday. Definitely recommend for celebrating that special occasion.

The only thing missing from this experience was the braised oxtails dish which wasn't available. Other than that, Quiora staff, food, ambiance..and also hotel valet and just the hotel property itself...absolutely stellar. The view from the lanai seating was phenomenal. Birthday dinner was very special. We are local, do not get to treat ourselves often due to busy schedules. Glad we made the time. Very much worth it and would not hesitate to experience again. Octopus, caesar salad, salmon, Wagyu, Brussels sprouts (gotta try), crispy potatoes (this one too is a must) and tiramisu (just wow). WAOW.

Always a wonderful experience, across several visits we’ve always had great service, delicious food, and a wonderful view!
Grea atmosphere, wonderful service and the food was amazing. Our starters (Arancini and Caprese) was great and our mains (Pastas and steak) was amazing. Highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for my 40th birthday and hosted a dinner for ten friends at Quiora.
To start with the positives: our server, Kennedy, was wonderful. He was warm, attentive, and offered great recommendations for the table. We especially enjoyed the arancini, ahi dip, uni pasta, and horchata trifle. Those were standouts. A few friends who ordered the pappardelle felt it could have used more seasoning, but overall the food was solid.
However, there were several aspects that were frustrating. I don’t mind paying higher prices at a luxury property, but I was surprised by the extra fees that appeared on our bill. For example, there was a $6 “martini upcharge” added to each $16 martini. Since we ordered several, it would have been helpful to be informed of this beforehand. We were also charged $6 each for sides of sauce and Parmesan cheese, which felt excessive. Ultimately, the total came out to over $150 per person, and the value didn’t match that price point.
We also encountered issues prior to our reservation. We originally booked for nine guests and asked to add one more when a friend flew in to surprise me. The restaurant told us that increasing the party size meant we would need to submit everyone’s orders in advance. I didn’t want to ask my guests to do that, especially for just one additional person. The back-and-forth over this became more frustrating than it needed to be, and honestly made me regret choosing the restaurant. Had I not put down a deposit I would have tried to change the venue at this point. When we arrived, the staff still seemed flustered that our party size had changed, which didn’t create a welcoming atmosphere.
For the level of pricing and the setting, I expected a more accommodating and seamless experience. A simple “We’ll take care of that for you” would have gone a long way.

I appreciate the customer service response from this review.
We went for restaurant week and got the wine pairing and non alcoholic drink pairing as well. The main dishes were mediocre at best. We went on a pretty rainy and windy night, so I can’t knock them too much for the atmosphere, since it’s outdoor dining. However, there was odd music choice. It was weird clubbing music, which just didn’t match the vibe. On to the food. We tried all the pastas on the restaurant week menu. The clam pasta was so salty and the other two were so bland! The salad and the earl grey tiramisu were honestly the best parts of the meal. The alcoholic drink pairings were fine, but our waiter didn’t even tell us what kind of wine or any information on the wine itself. He just sat it down and walked away. Same with the non alcoholic drinks. He kind of mumbled something for the first drink and just walked away after setting down the last two. The second juice was so sour it was like they squeezed all the lemons in the world in that glass. Finally my last drink was a coffee, but I have no idea if it was caffeinated or not. Service was not great. One waiter explained the food, but if it was our main server, he didn’t. It was hard to flag someone down to ask questions as well. Overall, would not go back, would not take leftovers (but we did and tried to add more flavor it them), and would not recommend. No pictures were taken, I just wanted to leave. Oh and the bill was expensive for such a junk time.
