    We dined in the private Living Room area. Free with a minimum spend of $250. Kids loved playing on the sports simulator while we watched TV and dined on gourmet food.

    Everyone should enjoy a meal at least once and you will be going back as often as you can! It is a gem in Waikiki without the crowds and parking is free! It has become our favorite restaurant and every single time we have a meal, we are never disappointed. We bring friends to introduce this gem of a place and every single time, our company is sold! I can honestly say the entire menu is delicious! Bravo to chef Mokoto and Amanda! Also, the staff is personable and professional; they make you feel like family. You are also allowed to bring your own wine with a corkage fee but the bar is open for any special drinks you request.

    Always a delicious meal at this hidden gem. Waikiki best kept secret at the foot of Diamond Head. We love coming here on date nights or with the family for celebrations.

    A hidden gem on the outskirts of Waikīkī. This was my first visit but not my last. The food was excellent . Unique offerings featuring local ingredients. The cocktails were gorgeous and delicious. Service was attentive and informative. Would recommend to anyone looking for fine dining cuisine without the pretense.

    This restaurant was recommended by a friend and I can’t wait to return. The menu is creative and diverse. I had the foie gras appetizer that is shaped like a stick of butter and served with toast. For my main I ordered the tempura hamachi kama served with lettuce wraps. It was an excellent dinner

    This restaurant needs a lot of improvement. The share plate concept does not work. Shrimp toast was thick squares of dough with no shrimp. Salad was under seasoned and over dressed. Rice was bland but the mushrooms over it were way over salted and soggy. Cocktail sent back. Could not even decipher what was in it? The whole concept was strange and nothing made since. Try a simpler menu and leave the idea of fine dining to a chef who knows how to cook. The dining room was stark and uninviting.I don’t expect Arden to last through the year.

    A lovely restaurant located a bit beyond the Waikiki mayhem. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. Outstanding creative food. Local ingredients. Impeccably fresh fish. Great experience overall. One complaint is that the noise level was high, even with less than full dining room. Physical problem with the space, not management’s fault. But it was hard to converse with my partner across the table.
