Andrea and I were welcomed to a table with a magnificent view of Kapiolani Park. We decided to try two of their new specialty cocktails, the Strawberry Blush and the Nutty Professor. Both were delicious. We settled on three of their Sharables for dinner: a delicious salad of crisp and succulent lettuce and macadamia nut dressing, lamb lolipops, and potato fries. All were prepared excellently. Service by Kelsey and staff was prompt and attentive. We always have a good time at Arden.

This was a pleasant surprise. The Ohana menu with wine pairing was delicious and interesting. Never had Sable fish before but it was cooked to perfection. The wines were interesting as well. A Cali Tempranillo with white fish? Unbelievably it worked. I would definitely go try this hidden gem.

Loved our visit to Arden. We ordered the kanpachi entrees with our Sunset dinners. The romaine salad was fresh, more than ample and tasty, Brussels sprouts were also perfect, the Kanpachi was cooked perfectly, and the Panna Cotta outstanding. Jeremy and team provided exemplary service.

The smoked tuna poke, the braised oxtail, and especially the Occidental Pinot Noir were all memorable. The service was quick and friendly. The walk along Kalakaua Ave, between the beach and Kapiolani Park only enriched the dining experience.

Everything was absolutely perfect. The service was top notch from the host greeting all the way to our thank yous and goodbyes. The food was fantastic. Elegant presentation, unique flavors, and filling! Shareable portions were wonderful for us first-timers, allowing us to sample each other’s dishes. A kids menu for the 2 in our group was helpful. This was a special birthday celebration, and they took excellent care of our party of 12. The birthday girl loved it!
