We requested a lanai table with a view when making reservations, so we were deeply disappointed to be shown to a table in the dark back of the restaurant. A cavernous room that had no other diners. After bringing it to the hostess' attention, she was not friendly and said our party of 4 would have to wait 30 minutes... More

Tucked away behind the busy Ala Moana Street noise, the restaurant looks over the Marina, ocean horizon and even has some sunset views in the winter months. As you climb the stairs from street level to the restaurant, you can actually feel the stress and years slipping back, although clean and comfortable this place may very well look the exact... More

We made reservations due to the proximity to our hotel. Big mistake! On a beautiful sunset evening, we were led into the back which is a dark cavern, exactly what you DON'T want at a beach front restaurant. Though the waiter was attentive and charming, he could not make up for the mediocre food. Our fish was mushy and the... More

We just stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring the marina. I had the best macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi and my husband's swordfish was perfect! The food was absolutely delicious!! If you are a party of two, go early, make a reservation and sit on the lanai!!!!

Well, what did I expect? Of course it's a tourist trap. But there are good restaurants on Waikiki (Sarento's, e.g.). I was expecting at least some respect, didn't get it. First, the food. The food was edible; it's hard to go wrong with baby back ribs, even if they are coated with a level of sauce that almost but not... More

The Chart House is a place we come back to each and every time we visit Waikiki and each time I come back I'm always thoroughly happy with the food and the service. All the meals come with a side of starch and a salad which means you get an outstanding value as well. The drinks are strong and the... More

The service and the staff were tremendous. We were seated overlooking the marina, great ambiance. Found the food to be very average, overpriced for what we received. The swordfish was dry and overcooked. Had two small spears of asparagus, come on it is not the expensive. Eaten at many restaurants this was NOT a $110.00 meal for two people. The... More

Great location for a happy hour at sunset or late 10pm-12pm specials. Loved the lychee martini and calamari ceasar salad. Mai-tai also was very good. Great friendly service and live music.Recommended...
