Seafood
The Seaside is all about a fresh seafood dining experience in Waikiki. Our fresh oysters are the centerpiece of our experience here. Walk up to our display case and select from at least 4 varieties daily, you can even choose the exact oysters you want from the case. We also feature a variety of wine from all over the globe by glass or bottle, local beer on tap, and local ciders.

Our food menu goes beyond oysters, including fresh poke, multiple varieties of ceviche, and New-England clam chowder in a bread bowl. We also feature our signature dish: The Seaside Cioppino. Featuring hearty servings of mahi mahi, clams, mussels, shrimp and crab in a hearty tomato based stew, this large sharing dish is ideal for dinner for any seafood lover.

Our space is intimate (less than 35 seats) and your dining experience in our fun little robust bar is sure to be one-of-a-kind. Reservations are limited, walk-ins are encouraged. We're all about a fun bar experience without sacrificing food quality.

    We loved the service we got from Mattie and everyone there, just like ohana, but the Guacamole lacked flavor and the Poke and Crab dip were just okay. Sorry because we really liked the place.

    Positives - Easy to get a table on a Saturday night, clean and quaint, had clam chowder. Negatives - Very small menu. A couple of appetizers and entrees. Mostly oysters and drinks. Clam chowder was good but small portions. No salads or veggies on the menu at all so cldn’t even pair it with something for a light meal. Asked for butter - didn’t have any. Would not recommend unless you want oysters.

    Great spot. Feels like a bit of a getaway from the busy beach walk of Waikiki, Ryan and Riley were great and really made us feel at home. Was really happy to see some east coast oysters on the menu!

    The ambience was good. I feel the ciopino could of had more soup. It had very little on the bottom of the pot. No desert menu, we ordered the only desert they had was a very thin slice of japanese cheese cake. In all it was delicious

    大通りに面したバーで、おしゃれなテラス席が目立ちます。旅行中にアメリカンテイストな食事がしんどくなって来た頃に美味しいシーフード料理が嬉しく、どれもとても美味しかったです! SeasideCippinoが名物のようで気になりましたが、3〜4人で分けるメニューのようなので今回は見送りました… ヒゲの生やした店主っぽい男性の愛想がとても良かったです。 日本語はおそらく通じませんが、私たちを気遣ってよく声をかけてくれました!

    The food and service was good but there is a long table in the middle of the restaurant which was full of young people yelling across the table at each other. They were just having fun but it made it difficult for the other diners to hear each other talk.

    Casual food/bar spot overlooking Seaside Avenue. Parking option at Hyatt Centric across the street is a good option. I was looking forward to checking it out since there really isn’t a casual oyster bar in town. First, the positive: the people there are friendly and welcoming, and the service is attentive. The oyster selection was decent. Oysters were fresh and presented well. For the price, it would be cool if it came with more than the tart mignonette sauce on the side. Maybe cocktail, ponzu, etc., as options. The other food items were ok. Chips and dips were pleasant, but not memorable. Spicy poke was ok but too sweet. Flat bread flavor profile was ok but a bit odd - crab with chimichurri sauce. I guess I’d be back, but maybe just for oysters and a beer.

    Seaside is our new favorite spot in waikiki!! What a find. Tory was amazing, she greeted us so friendly upon arrival, guided us when we asked and served us the most incredible dinner! Their oysters are so delishand fresh, we had the kumamotos and kusshi's. Their shrimp cocktail, octopus ceviche and artichoke dip were also divine. Great cocktails, wine and beer list. The decor is light, clean, modern and welcoming. Very hip and sophisticated with lovely music playing in the background. We can't wait to return to try their famous cioppino. Tory, Chef and team, thank you for a truly wonderful dinner and evening!

    We celebrated new years with dinner at the Seaside. It is an amazing little place. The food was wonderful. The menu is limited, but you don’t need a big menu when everything on it is this fantastic. Would return in a heartbeat. If you are looking for something nice in Waikiki, this is it. We ate at some nice places, and this one was the tied for the best!

    Oysters were fresh. Cioppino was good, less tomato-y than others. Charcuterie board was disappointing if you’re from NY. Bread is Tuscano - made without salt — so if you’re from SF and used to sourdough with your cioppino you’ll have a very different experience. Weirdly the food wasn’t overly salty - a good thing - but then salt-free bread seems to have little purpose. Happy hour seems the best bet.
