Reasonably priced place for breakfast right on the ground of the Hilton Village and Waikiki Beach. The food is great... lots of fresh fruit. The omelettes are terrific. Look out for the pigeons. They are all over the place and are a royal pain in the neck. The servers can often be seen spraying them with water to chase them... More

Our experience with the Tropics Bar & Grill was not good. This restaurant is the only one that still serves food after 9pm on the Hilton property and there is ALWAYS a wait to get in. It does not matter what time of day or night that you go there - you will always wait at least 20 minutes to... More

I went to this horrible choice of a place to enjoy the scenery and some mediocre-ok food with some friends. I was actually fine with the sorta overpriced food given the waikiki location. First, when my family and I were putting our name on the list for a table the hostess treated us like we where on her time and... More

Hilton Bar on the beach. Due to my work schedule I could never get a table, but sat at the bar for dinner. Food was ok, the poki was excellent. Good cocktail menu More

This is such a nice location, such great bands playing and good food. This is not fine dining, but a great place to have your casual dinner or lunch. Always busy, and the chairs on the patio are very comfortable. Best place to hang out in the Hilton Hawaiian Village. More

The food was overpriced for what it was -- average ($18 for ahi tuna salad that mostly iceberg lettuce). The atmosphere was lively and the view of the beach at sunset was pretty special, so that made it worth it. And rhey were really accomodating and helpful wirh the kids. Book ahead, or get there early to be seated in... More

Try the Maui onion and Skinny Coco. Tropics is great for a drink and casual appetizers. Their breakfast is decent also. More

Super laid back with good menu, although expect to wait for your table. Extremely busy at peak times with waiting times up to an hour. Having said that, worth the wait. Fresh made food that tastes great. Helpful, friendly staff. Great views over the beach. More

This was a great meal and inexpensive. We all had something different to eat and different cocktails. Out of the 3 adults we were all very happy with meal and service. More
