About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for live music
  • Great for happy hour
Like a sexy librarian, The Study isn’t what it immediately seems. It waits demurely behind a wall of books in the lobby of THE MODERN HONOLULU.

At 6 p.m. each evening, the bookshelves rotate to reveal The Study’s neutral palette and clean lines, whispers of THE MODERN HONOLULU’s subtle sophistication. That’s your invitation to get to know The Study – a knockout cached in understatement. Every night, live music performances by Honolulu's finest contemporary artists provide the perfect backdrop from 8-10:30 p.m.

    Double date with friends. Had dinner at Roy’s in Waikiki and took a Lyft to The Study. Extremely clean and well decorated. Friendly server, live music from one guy and his guitar was nice and the drinks were great. We didn’t try any food. But this app forces you to rate it so I gave it a 3... the food options looked good for appetizers, but can’t rate higher without having any.

    We arrived just before HH ended, Our waitress got our order in before the time expired. She checked on us just enough. We ordered a variety (beet poke, wagyu beef dish, spinach/mushroom flatbread and the fried octopus) . Everything was tasty and fresh. There was music starting at 8P, Rodney Allen. He is very talented. Decor is clean, simple lines. Place is still comfortable and cozy. Will definitely return.

    Sunday night is definitely the best night to visit here. Jeremy Cheng is playing on Sunday night and his performance is outstanding. He has a really sweet voice and it’ll be a perfectly romantic date spot. For food review I didn’t order so just needed to set in the middle (3 star) but not applicable.

    家族のみの結婚式の2次会で利用しました。 騒々しくなく、落ち着いたモダンな感じで家族にも評判が良かったです。弾き語りのシンガーの生演奏もありましたが、リクエストして歌っていただいて盛り上げていただきました。 さすがホテルだけあって、気くばりのサービスも気持ちよかったです。何より食事や飲み物も美味しいのにコスパが良くてびっくりしました。 今度は彼と2人で伺います。

    When I arrived I was told that I didn’t have a table reserved. The reservation I made didn’t mean anything because they don’t reserve tables unless you buy bottle service. There was no point in making a reservation or using this app.

    We had a ton of fun! The atmosphere was great! Live singer performed a good mix of music and the concept of this place I thought was pretty creative. Mixed crowd of mostly 25-40-year olds.

    Food was amazing along with the live music but there was a competition between live music and table talk.
