The timing was perfect because the sun was just beginning to set over Diamond Head, which made Waikiki appear as if it were made out of gold and not just ordinary sand. Soon after being seated, our waitress took our orders and then left us to enjoy the view and each other’s company. The service here is very efficient, so we did not wait long at all for our drinks.

We chose to have salads with our meals, so we just got up and visited the salad bar, which was stocked with the normal selections, as well as a few more local treats like fresh pineapple and papaya. This restaurant serves everything from steak and lobster to local favorites, such as teriyaki chicken -- everything is always very delicious. I have to admit, though, that this restaurant is a better spot for couples than families with small children, as it is rather small inside the restaurant. I also have to say, as a person who does not have children, if a family were to bring their smaller children to this restaurant it would somewhat spoil the very romantic atmosphere.

The prices here are very affordable, especially when you compare them with many of the other restaurants in downtown Waikiki. Just about each time we have dined here our total cost was about $60, which breaks down to approximately $25 per person.

The best way to get to this restaurant is to park in one of the many parking garages that are scattered around downtown Honolulu and just simply walk to the restaurant because the closer you get to this hotel and restaurant, the closer you get to the shops and other restaurants, which means that parking is scarce and expensive.
