We found the food to be excellent, as was the service. We dine at Tikis every time we visit which is usually yearly, disappointed that the the short rib entre was removed from the menu, also I find the wine list mediocre a overpriced.

Great space, good live music all afternoon and evening. The food was well prepared, but took a long time to come out and when it finally did it was cold. The restaurant has to do a better job getting the plates to the tables as soon as they are ready, and maybe heating the plates.

The ambience and location and view are fantastic and all of the menu items are written and described as amazing they are so subpar risotto was undercooked. It was like white rice and a sauce, chicken was way too salty and had lots of tendons, the brussels sprouts that were completely undercooked you couldn’t even cut them to eat them.., terrible FOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo disappointing !!

Food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed their meal. Live music was great ambiance and not too loud. All in all, great place for dinner.

My wife and I loved Thanksgiving dinner at Tiki's. All three courses were well presented, tasty, and ample. We were fortunate to have a fine table where we could enjoy the outside atmosphere without being in the strong sun. Tiki's 1944 Mai Tai is a treat and we were pleased to have colorful glasses to take home as a memory. Kudos to Eli for his fine service - just the right amount of attention. And to the host Michael for visiting all the customers. Our experience at Tiki's could not have been better!

Great overall experience, as usual. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the drinks were strong and creative, and the service was prompt and personable. The live music was an added bonus: great selection of songs performed perfectly, and at a volume where we could really enjoy the music while still being able to converse.

Staff did not seem happy and stressed. Hostess would not seat us due to the fact one person in our party was not there. Tons of open tables and we wanted a drink and appetizer until the last person in our party arrived. Watched the hostess continue to tell other groups and guests to wait to be seated when they could have been seated right away. Normally not a big deal to wait a few minutes but the 3 hostess were not welcoming and were basically rude to everyone they came in contact with. Would not go back there again.

This restaurant SELDOM has their signature dessert, the 20 layer haupia cake. I looked forward to this for 7 months and knew they would be out just when I'm there. Everyone who likes Tikis knows about this famous cake but half the people who go here are bit privileged to get it. Otherwise, the food tastes great.

The art of making food tasteless. Looks good but then once in your mouth you just wonder what the chef did to make it so uninteresting and tasteless. The chef would need to review his cooking books.

Food and drinks were excellent. Service was perfectly attentive. Ambiance was nice; live music was well done - audible but not overbearing. We made a reservation but arrived early and were seated quickly. We were concerned about wind and weather but had a great view and sufficient shelter from wind while maintaining a comfortable breeze.

We did the rib Appetizer it was good but a little pricey. Prime rib was delicious! New York steak was a little fatty.

Service was great, but the rib appetiser was not hot and tough.

Mahalo, Lew. We appreciate your visit and for taking the time to share your feedback. While we're delighted to hear that you found our service and ambiance to be great, we're sorry to learn that the rib appetizer didn't meet your expectations in terms of temperature and tenderness. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will use it to improve the consistency of our dishes. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide you with a more satisfying dining experience in the future.

Made a 6pm reservation for party of 3. We were greeted by friendly hosts and only waited about a minute before being seated. Perfect seating outside where we could watch the sunset, listen to the live music, and still chat throughout our dinner. The band even had hula dancers! Everyone liked our food choices, portions were large, drinks were tasty. Favorites were the watermelon salad and the Kalua Pig Quesadilla. Service was great and the manager even stopped by to check on us. Looking forward to going back again!

Very nice atmosphere. A nice band that added to the experience. However food was flat out bad. Mashed potatoes were so dry the just fell apart. Cream spinach was aweful. Had fish that was dry. $150, wasn’t worth it.

Had a great time with my wife and family, all around it was very enjoyable. Service was great. We wanted to removed the umbrella and in minutes 3 guys came and took care of it. We will always bring our guest there. Mahalo, Tupu
