Most inclusive venue for intimate gatherings or events. Chapel on site with beautiful vaulted arch ceilings. Thoughtfully landscaped waterfall on site across from the main house with multiple level seating arrangements with clean, vintage nod, plantation style decor for a bright, modern take. Staff was absolutely amazing, communicated very clearly and was extremely helpful the day of the event. Wonderful place for photos, dining, or events or events
Parking: There is a small parking lot inside the gate on property. Only fits about 10 cars total. The property gate is surrounded by street parking, but is in a residential area off a main road, so street parking can be difficult to find. Short walk friendly
Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator available on site, ramp and pathway to main door and deck

Atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. The service and hospitality are excellent. Attention to detail. The food is amazing. Soufle pancake soft and just right, pairing with the fruit added an extra burst of flavor. The shrimp, the crusted salmon and potatoe gratin were amazing. Very flavorful. I loved every bite.

I went for brunch, and although the place itself and location is nice, the food was really bad, almost laughable for the price. Looked and tasted like something a 12 year old put together using out of the bag ingredients from Costco. Service was just ok. I would not go back and do not recommend it to others either.

You should eat ahead of time. Steak tasted boiled and not seasoned. Premade soufflé pancakes. They were really nice, but they took all of are food away when we took a family photo. We weren't done, but maybe they wanted us to leave? Probably just did us a favor.
Beautiful ambiance but the food is terrible.!!!!! The $20 soufflé pancakes was precooked..? so by the time we got it to our table, it was deflated. Was not at all soft and cloudy but tough and rubbery. We even ordered the $20 teriyaki chicken sandwich. The chicken was practically a shoyu chicken placed on a bread.. literally, the shoyu chicken you eat with rice, it was placed right on a bread. And not only that it was raw.. you figure in a sandwich they would try to flatten the thigh at least try to be the same size for the bread but it was a Japanese style bread so larger than normal with this fat RAW chicken thigh in a sandwich.. We are shocked and actually appalled.. The $20 avocado toast was just ONE toast with sliced avocado. No taste no flavor. We will never again. We should've took pictures.. at the time, we didn't want to disrespect them especially with a facility like that they have but now that a few days has passed, we keep thinking about what happened that day and we decided to let the rest of the people at least know what we thought about the restaurant. Good luck.

Nice little hidden gem I took my wife, mother, and mother-in-law to for a. Mother's Day breakfast. Simple menu, great food, and great service. Eager to go back and try the lunch menu.
Brunch
We went here to celebrate two birthdays but there was no acknowledgment of the special occasion despite prior coordination. While the facility is very nice and staff friendly, they were not attentive and the service was quite slow. The food was presented beautifully but unfortunately fell short on taste. I had high hopes for this place.

Waikiki Leia is one of the hidden treasures of restaurants in Honolulu. It is located in plain sight in Kapahulu near Diamond Head and is combined with a lovely Wedding Chapel. The menu and food items are simple and delicious. Service is always friendly and extremely polite since the staff services primarily wedding clients from Japan where excellent guest service is the norm. You can sit inside or outdoors. The garden view includes a waterfall and a large lawn with shade trees. The facility also includes larger party rooms upstairs for wedding receptions. Food presentation is always attractive and ready for photos. There is parking available on site. You should still try to car pool if you are coming with a group. My friends were impressed with Waikiki Leia and will return.

Ate here twice within 2 wks! Had to share the beautiful view & feeling of relaxation w/ my hubby after my friend & I enjoyed a breakfast there. I would suggest going for lunch bc you can also order from the breakfast menu. I now wanna take my adult kids there so they can enjoy the experience too! ?
Breakfast was delicious! Really fairly priced and overall a really peaceful atmosphere and location. I definitely recommend the coffee float and the french toast. 10/10!!

Reservations required as they sometimes close for private events. Food and service were excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful grounds with waterfall and chapel. Available for weddings and receptions.
You can see Diamond Head from the terrace seats, but I like the cafe on the second floor of the Deck.It's Japanese-run, so you can feel safe everywhere.It's mainly a wedding hall, so it's better to check the cafe's business hours.Wedding photos were also taken on this day.

The pancake was fluffy and light. The fresh toast was good too, so is the coffee. Good
