Hubby tried their "Fork & Knife" Briskey Sandwich, which really is no sandwich at all. At the bottom of the mountain of food is a slice of bread, followed by mashed potato and then covered with large cubes of brisket (perfectly cooked) and then again covered with 5-mushroom truffle gravy. He claims it is an entree from heaven. Of course, he couldn't finish his generously portioned dish, and the remainder will be gobbled down in two other meals. It was sooooo good, he said it was on par with Livestock Tavern's ever-famous prime rib. Needless to say, we will be back.

Pick this spot to meet up with friends from out of town and I wanted to find a hidden spot in Waikiki. Glad I stumble on Aloha Table. Location is central Waikiki and there was 4-hour validated parking at nearby Hyatt Centric. It was a great, quaint place to catch up with a nice outdoor seating area. Food was good and staff was friendly & attentive. Will have to come back to this spot soon.

I took my sister-in-law and her boyfriend who was in town to the lookout. We have been there before so I knew that they would have great food and it was all amazing. The view is great and my sister-in-law and her boyfriend said they love their food. They also had great food for my two kids.

Really love the vibe of this place, as well as the beer! Food, so far on several visits, has been consistently good! Staff are friendly, but they are not great at checking on you when you need it - like just after your food comes to see if you need anything else. But that is a minor issue and won't stop us from returning to this fun, laid-back brewery restaurant.

Had my family go to Dave & Busters for Thanksgiving since no one wanted to cook. It wasn't very crowded and the service and food were excellent! I would recommend it for Thanksgiving if you want an alternative to the traditional Turkey Dinner that you either have to make from scratch or reheat for 2-4 hours.

We went for Breakfast. Our server Charlie was absolutely amazing. Had eggs with bacon. I highly recommend their breakfast potatoes I think they are house made and very tasty. My husband had corned beef hash and eggs with fried rice and also said it was awesome.
