About Surf Lanai

Surf Lanai offers a special Waikiki breakfast experience with the best views on the island. The friendly staff creates a welcoming atmosphere, often sharing stories and island advice. Guests can enjoy a variety of breakfast options, including the signature Royal Hawaiian Pink Palace Pancakes, Eggs Benedict like the avocado and tomato Benedict, and the standard pancakes. The delicious Mixed Berry Pancakes come with butter, toasted coconut, and Haupia Sauce. The terrace seats are close to the sandy beach and provide a nice view of the ocean and Diamond Head. Arriving early is recommended to secure a table with beach views, but luck may also play a role in seating arrangements. Although breakfast can be on the pricier side, it is a worthwhile experience. For those who enjoy fresh juice, guava is recommended. A highly recommended stop for a delightful breakfast in Waikiki, especially for families looking for a great atmosphere.

Recent reviews highlight phenomenal breakfast with views of Waikiki, a large selection, and attentive staff. Guests appreciate sitting under umbrellas while waiting for a table and enjoy the pink pancakes, presentation, and local dishes. Many visitors say the food is amazing, with the pink pancakes being a highlight and every foodie's dream come true. The service at the bar is quick and knowledgeable, with staff like Eric and Tracy providing great drinks and food delivery. Visitors often say they will be dreaming about this breakfast until their next trip to Hawaii and highly recommend Surf Lanai for its exceptional food and service, making customers lifelong fans.

Huge fan of this place! The breakfast cuisine is fantastic, and the staff are exceptionally attentive. The pink pancakes are a must have, and the breakfast drinks are out of this world.
My favorite place to get breakfast on Waikiki! And the pink pancakes are SO GOOD.
We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian for 8 days. It was a beautiful hotel, and we got breakfast as part of the stay. You have to go within 30 min of opening for breakfast, otherwise a line builds up quickly and it ends up being 1 hr wait. The pink palace pancakes were the recommended and they were superb made with guava. We also got the works omelet, and short rib eggs Benedict, smoked salmon, etc. Everything we had there was very tasty, even the continental breakfast to go was good....read full review
