Tapas Restaurants in Honolulu, HI

“My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at El Cielo. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Shrimp Ajillo and the Seafood Paella, both of which left a lingering, delightful flavor. The Mont Blanc dessert after the meal was also truly impressive. In addition, the staff were very professional and friendly, and the dining atmosphere was excellent. Overall, it’s a restaurant well worth visiting again.“

“Very good food.“

“Fun , service is great and a lot of sunshine ☀️“

“Habitant is a stylish, casual bar and lounge located inside select Nordstrom department stores, typically on the second floor near the men's or women's clothing sections. It serves handcrafted cocktails, wine, beer, and light bites, such as maple bacon deviled eggs, providing a relaxing, centrally located stop during shopping trips.

To my knowledge, Habitat at Nordstrom is only found in Honolulu, Downtown Seattle, and Chicago. Why can't Phoenix be on that list because this place seems delightful. All we have are coffee shops inside out Nordstroms.

I have seen my Cycle Buddy, Randy S. check in here plenty of times. When he recommended grabbing a drink here while I was in town, I jumped on the invite... and then I stole his drink. Cynar 70 on a rock. Ooh lah lah. I also stole all the chocolate mints.

What a great spot! It was fun people watching for the short duration we were there. I can see why he enjoys coming here.“

“Food was amazing.full of locals. It’s upstairs and around a courier. Definitely worth going to.“

“Had their loco moco, the gravy was good, it had a lumpy gelatinous look of what I would imagine home made gravy to be like. Hamburger was good not too much filler or binder. I think the only thing I had issue with was the quantity for $22. When I eat a loco moco I think plate lunch so I feel like quantity is important. But it's a bar and there are a lot of pupus to eat.

Chicken kastu was chicken chunks like a mochiko chicken style not a cutlet. Which at first surprised me but it worked and made it more shareable with better batter coverage.

Chili mandoo was underwhelming. Steamed mandoo with fried chili oil. I am not getting it again

I would recommend the fried rice. They put a sauce on it that does make it kinda sweet which works well with the bacon or smoked meats. It made me think of candied bacon. I'd probably order this again.

Sliders were good, the hamburger patty was the same as the loco moco I think.

Server was friendly and helpful.

Nothing on tap though and no pale ales or blondes at least when I asked.

Place could use a sign with entrance just to make things a little easier. I had to walk around looking for the door that looked most like an entrance.“

“We opted out of our reservation for the dining room and ate in the bar. Didn't catch the bartender's name but she was wonderful. The Mai Tai was great and our food was delicious. It was a thoroughly enjoyable meal.“

“Good and it really was a good experience“

“I felt adventurous and tried the 400 Rabbits cocktail. The taste was delicious! However, it is literally served in a thimble. The Maka 'ako mule has to be my favorite with the old fashioned martini coming in second. Of course I haven't tried ALL the drinks... The cosmo is pretty yummy too“

“We were looking for good Italian food and a great atmosphere. Although it is easy to miss from the street, it is the perfect place for great food, exceptional and personalized service and relaxing quiet atmosphere. The bruschetta came with four pieces but the server offered to give us 5 pieces, one for each of us instead of having us order another entire order, offering exceptional hospitality. We wanted to try several things so we ordered salad, margarita pizza, pesto pasta, lasagna and shared. Every bite was amazing. The perfect place for a great meal and a bottle wine to enjoy in the sitting areas throughout the restaurant. This is truly a hidden gem. Best meal and service we had during our 10 days stay in Waikiki Don’t miss it!“

“Surprisingly good ..down this short ally it’s located in the back.. Very mysterious“

“Ate at location in HLN while waiting for flight I had the Hawaiian dot long my daughter had the bbq ribs. Both were great“
