Service could not have been nicer from the valet, hostess, servers, and managers. The tasting menu was great. The larger main courses were just enough to leave full. Nice mix of fish, venison, pasta, and vegetables. Highly recommend the patio seating for Friday night fireworks.

Wow, wow, wow. This is an incredible dining experience for special occasions. Amazing location with a great view of the coastline and Diamond Head. Great outdoor patio area for eating or to take pictures. This is a fine dining location with a very upscale atmosphere. Wait staff did a great job at making us feel welcomed and made sure our anniversary was well celebrated. The food was delicious! We had scallops, mushroom risotto, and the catch of the day. The mushroom risotto had amazing flavor and the seafood was cooked and plated to perfection! Highly recommend this amazing place!

53 by the sea is an extraordinary restaurant. The atmosphere, the service and most of all the food is beyond excellent, it will put a smile on the sourest of souls. Anyone who rates 53 by the sea below 4.5 hasn’t a pallet at all. See for yourself but don’t expect a cheap meal. Quality is not cheap. Thank you 53 by the sea for the best meal I have had in years..

You can see the sunset, but depending on where you sit, you may not be able to see it. You can go out to the balcony of the shop and watch it.

Great food and great view! Love coming here, whether for a date night or with friends visiting. Yes it is a bit pricey but the food, service and overall atmosphere is awesome. Overlooking the mouth of Kewalo Basin, you can watch surfers dropping in, boats going in and out, and views of Waikiki skyline & Diamond Head.

My husband and I celebrated our 14 year anniversary here. The breathtaking view is only surpassed by the excellent food and warm service. We both ordered the tasting menu - the staff and the kitchen were sensitive to my allergies and created masterpieces even given my alternatives. They made our night incredibly special and truly memorable. 5 stars, HIGHLY recommend, would go back again and bring a friend.

I went for brunch and here's my thoughts:The good: views, savory Dutch baby, loco moco, drinks, service, the bathroom (iykyk)The bad: flies...there's flies everywhere. To my embrassment I knocked over my drinks trying to swat the flies away. I was sitting indoors too. Thankfully the staff was very attentive and cleaned it up for me quickly. I was super apologetic and grateful they handed me a towel to dab myself dry.
The views! The food! The staff! The Kona coffee crème brûlée was insane.

A few months ago we were having brunch and the food was unbelievably different from all of our last visits. My food was DRENCHED in sauce, just way too much I could not finish it, it made the rice terrible. And the pancakes were no longer buttermilk pancakes, they were flat and bunt. Now I am worried I will have the same experience. All of our other visits were fine but the last one was awful enough to make me not want to go back somehow.
