Breakfast here is a true pleasure. Great service and food. Banana pancakes are superb! Try them with the coconut syrup...it's tastes homemade, and is not as sweet as the maple syrup. Yum!Upvote4Downvote- Kate YuanJanuary 1, 2018Super romantic environment - good for a date night. I was very impressed by the service! There are orchids throughout the place. I had the Veal Chop entry and it was very good. Done just right.UpvoteDownvote
Serious EatsJanuary 29, 2014The claim to fame at Orchids, the beach-front restaurant at the Halekulani' hotel, is their Coconut Cake. It's legendary, and easily the best on the island of Oahu.UpvoteDownvote- Tracy WiedmanApril 4, 2016The prawn ravioli, coconut cake, and Mai Tais are amazing. The views and ambience are lovely.Upvote1Downvote
Antonio SilveiraAugust 25, 2014For dinner you need to be dressed formally. T-Shirt, shoes and pants. No shorts, tennis shoes. They do have a whole wardrobe and you can borrow clothes from them.Upvote1Downvote
Sydney MJuly 11, 2022The absolute BEST brunch in Hawaii, no questions hands down. Don’t forget the coconut cake at the end, even if you’re so full from everything else.UpvoteDownvote

Ben MartinekJanuary 18, 2015Food was great,kitchen really held up its end of the deal. Very pricey, $24 for 2 scallops. Sevice was very poor, not rude or impolite, lacking touch or timing.UpvoteDownvote
Arlynne CakesFebruary 23, 2015The place seemed dead and staff seemed to move abnormally slow. the food wasn't too shabby though but don't think I'd ever go back.Upvote1Downvote

"Mai tai's here are the best. Stiff and not syrupy sweet. Excellent pupus and the entertainment are fantastic. Come in time for sunset and you have a quintessential Waikiki experience."
