I am a Flight Attendant- and every time we go to Honolulu, we make the Happy Hour for 5-7- 4.00 Vodka martinis and drinks, 4.00 Wine and Beer. Also the 7.00 appetizers are the best. the Calamari is great, the Pork sliders are very good and the chicken with blue cheese and Buffalo sauce is great. If you want Happy... More

WOW! We started trying to find an amazing spot to view the wonderful sunset our first night in Honolulu but the sun wasn't waiting for us to find one so it found us instead. We simply looked up and there it was the best view in Paradise. We quickly went up and asked for a table and we were seated... More

It is different kind of dish. It is a fusion (more Japanese + Chinese than American style). It is half-empty, most patrons are Orientals. The revolving restaurant sits very high above everything, and gives you a very nice 360 night breathtaking view. My steak tasted very sweet, lot different than what I was expecting, but good. If you like Chines... More

My co-workers and I went during "happy hour" intending to stay for dinner. The view is, of course, spectacular. With the revolving restaurant and huge windows, one can see wonderful vistas and splendid sunsets. However, since we didn't have reservations, and were three older women, the staff just ignored us when we tried to obtain a table. We were treated... More

Sounds like a tourist trap so I had to try it. Very good steaks, amazing warm and buttery bread and a skyline that was completely unexpected. I come from on the the best skylines in the World here in Chicago, but watching the sun go down and the city light up while slowly circling high above, made this a wonderful... More

A group of us dined last night. Fun atmosphere with spectacular views of Honolulu. Appetizers ranged from $15-$20 and entrees from $30-40. I had the Ahi Poke and Cioppino w/linguine - delicious. Others at the table had the lamb shank, Osso buccho, and Paletta. The lamb shank and Osso Buccho were also superb. I would avoid the fixed entree menu... More

This is a revolving resturant, and we always stop by when we are in Hawaii. When you are seated, you can see the restaurant start to turn. And by the time the meal of over, which is about one hour, it will have made a complete turn. And you can see the beautiful sea, the rain forest, the downtown area,... More

The atmosphere, drinks and pupu's (appetizer's) were top notch! We went for Happy Hour in the early evening...yes they have two happy hours, 5-7pm and 9-11pm! The nachos and the chicken pupu's were very well made and presented. More

You got to love the view from the Top of Waikki. a sutle rotation of the room affords one to view the Wakkii area like no other. Great appetizers and drink prices at the bar! Have your camera ready! More

We dined at Top of Waikiki last month-it is a revolving restaurant giving a panoramic view of Waikiki. For a "touristy" restaurant it has surprsingly good food-presentation, quality, choice, the service was excellent too. This one is on our rotation along with a hot of other restaurants. More
