Restaurants near Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Excellent place to start a wonderful dinner. I really enjoy it, and my husband thinks Spaghetti Ala Pescatora was fantastic.

This is my first time in Waikiki, and this restaurant was right around the corner so I'd figure I would try....NOT disappointed!!! I started with the fried zucchini, and my main was the Sweet n Spicy wings and asparagus. The wing sauce had a mango flavor to it, not too spicy but it was A-Mazing! They also make their ranch in house and it was some of the best ranch I've ever had. To drink I got the mocktail option "Magic Island Lemonade" and it came with a cute little gummy bear on it. It wasn't overly loud and my server was extremely attentive and polite. I would have gotten dessert but I was just too full! Next time I'll have to try the Hawaiian Mud Pie xD

My friend and I, both living in Waikiki, were eager to try Empire Steak House. We have fond memories of the Ilikai's previous rooftop restaurant, Sorrento's. It was a delightful evening from being greeted at the elevator entrance in the lobby to being greeted upon our arrival on the 31st floor. We were a little early and chairs were brought to make our wait more comfortable. It was Happy Hour and the menu had many choices...the biggest shrimp I have ever seen were perfectly poached and the Steak Kabob did not disappoint either. Bartender Mark made a gin martini the traditional way and it was exceptional. Natasha gave us a peek at the "secret speakeasy!" We will go back again (and again!) and we suggest you try it.

Disappointed that our request through OpenTable to be seated in the section of our preferred server was not honored when there was plenty of space available. Restaurant's hosts need to be better trained to access patron records in their system. I've been a hotel guest for more than 50 years and have been patronizing this restaurant in particular more than a dozen times over the past eight years.

Love this restaurant. We ALWAYS eat here at least once while we are at Hilton Hawaiian Village. After eating, we went to the bar and spent over an hour there, visiting with other patrons, as well as the bartenders. Love the Aloha atmosphere
