We flew to Oahu for our 50th wedding anniversary from the mainland San diego
We decided to have dinner at your lovely restaurant and were surprised not only about the restaurant and food
Someone suggested prime rib.Fantastic food and atmosphere
We had the best food and service
Now we wish you had a restaurant here in the San diego Calif area
Trying to get back but have to wait until the covid problem is gone.mahalo
We have been customers since they first owned. Good food. Good service. Would like to be able to make a reservation for dinner.
This is one of our must do s every time we visit Oahu. The food is absolutely delicious and the view is amazing! We like to go early evening, walk the gardens, and then be seated at our table right at dusk, when the tiki torches are lit. We love the Poke platter. It s outstanding...well, everything on the menu is. We end every meal
Meal with the molten lava cake and a glass of Port. Can t wait to return!
Watching the introduction from youtube , really super delicious, very suitable for the taste of Chinese people, the service is very nice!
Great place, be sure to get there early as it opens at 4:30 but has an hour wait already. The prime rib is 2lbs of pure joy, would highly recommend to anyone with an appetite. During the wait we took a tour of the gardens that the restaurant overlooks and enjoyed a few drinks while we waited and let me tell you the food was definitely worth the wait. Coconut shrimp and the aged pepper steak we're what I ordered and I can for sure say when I'm back in Hawaii I will be returning for sure. Mahalo
Open, airy, incredible view, romantic and incredible food!
Sunday brunch buffet with cheap drinks. Amazing view and great food.
Excellent date night dinner place! If you don't like waiting in line to be seated, you better show up when or before it opens. It's an open air style restaurant, so be dressed for the weather. A little bug spray helps if mosquitoes like your type of blood.
The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly and helpful with menu items. Amazing view as well to sit and enjoy.
Great food, great views, overall great experience. We just happened to find it while searching for places to eat while on vacation. The service was amazingly fast, and servers were very friendly. If ever back in Hawaii we will visit again!
An excellent upscale restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. Local fare and style with reasonable prices.
Good food, but service was a little slow, try the prime rib there.
The food is amazing, and the view over the gardens is beautiful!
Nice place. Beautiful garden to walk around while waiting for your table. Friendly staff
Great view high prices great service great tasting food... would come back to eat here again...
Spectacular location. No vegetarian or vegan options!
We had a great experience! Good food, excellent service, in a gorgeous setting! I most highly recommend it!
Waited over an hour to be seated. How about allowing reservations!
The food is EXPENSIVE but top notch.
The ambience and the outside views are spectacular.
Worst place I've been ! Food wasn't fresh, very greasy and very expensive !
Great drinks and food was amazing. Absolutely enjoyed our time there. Can't wait to go again.
one of the best secrets in Hawaii, no wonder it will remain a secret for a long time:) unless one feels adventurous.
Great place to celebrate special occasions. Come early for their outstanding Prime Rib.
A little expensive, but with every penny. The food was amazing, and the staff friendly and attentive.
Everything was great, but they really gotta work on their desserts
If I could give zero stars, I would. They forgot my drink, the food was COLD and incredibly overpriced for the amount given. The garden has caca water. This was a tourist trap. Avoid at all cost.
Delicious meal for my wife and I. Probably the 2nd best prime rib I've ever had, and it's my go to dinner selection. Took half the meal home. Staff was friendly, and food delicious. If I'm ever back on the island I WILL be coming back.
Delicious food, as always. Superb cocktails. Friendly, attentive service. Gorgeous setting. What more can you ask for?
Good food, good drinks, and a good view. Had to wait for a while to get a table, so don't go if you're in a hurry. Also kinda pricey. But good, overall.
We picked this spot not knowing much about it but saw solid reviews and figured we'd give it a shot and boy were we glad we did. We were seated promptly without a reservation around 6pm on a Tuesday night and ordered some drinks to start. Drinks arrived and were great and we decided to get the prime rib and the Thai calamari to start. The calamari we cooked just right so as not to be tough and the batter was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the Thai sweet sauce that it came with,but the real surprise was when the prime rib arrived. We were blown away by the sheer size of the cut, coming in at around 2lbs. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, beautifully tender with an Au jus that contained just the right amount of beefiness to savory balance as well as a horseradish cream that offset the Au jus perfectly with a bit of kick and smoothness to keep the meat from becoming too much of a chore to eat. Overall, definitely one of our best meals while on the island and we will definitely make a return visit the next time we're back on Oahu.
Great food, great service & fabulous view. Enjoyed it & will be back!
Omg this place is amazing! Beautiful setting for couples garden view tiki torches everywhere staff was awesome the food was excellent I got the ny steak and island vegetables so yummy I'll be back for sure next time I'm in Hawaii
Excellent food, great service
and beautiful location. This is the view from our table.
Very Romantic with Beautiful gardens and friendly people.
GORGEOUS scenary!! This by far is the MOST amazing place I've ever ate at. The food was AMAZING & they serve you HUGE amounts of food. DEFINITELY a great place to visit if you're going to Hawai'i.
I so love this restaurant. We come every 2 yrs when we visit Hawaii. I always get a fish dish and its always worth it. I have to say the chocolate cake with cream chees and raspberry drizzle w/vanilla ice cream was so so worth the cheat! The atmosphere is amazing
Sunday evening dinner. 45-60 min wait. Only about 30 min actually. Cocktail waitress brought drinks while we waited. Wonderful service. Delicious food. Prime rib was massive. At least 2 inches.
Had a great dining experience with our server Elyse. She was very warm, welcoming, attentive and made helpful recommendations. The restaurant itself is tucked in a residential neighborhood and a beautiful gem to discover. While waiting to be seated you can explore the lake and gardens beneath the restaurant, to the left of the entrance. We ordered the prime rib and it was the thickest cut I'd ever seen and the most tender I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The accompanying mash and veg was well prepared and balanced the richness of the dish. We also had the coconut shrimp, and calamari appetizers. Tasty but undeniable that the prime rib, service, and ambience is the star of the show.
Spectacular food and an even more amazing view! I would recommend coming before sunset so you can see the mountains!
Great food, is you can get in. It's popularity makes it impossible to get seats sometimes.
Traveled over the world and have never had better food or service than here.
The service was okay. This an open air restaurant and so there is the challenge of flying bugs.
It's a seafood restaurant. Prime ribs are delicious.
It's not cheap but the food is awsome. Laid back atmosphere but nice enough for a romantic date night.
Good food friendly staff good drinks. And all that creates a busy place some long wait times to sit however the bar is always open seating while you wait! A must!!!
Excellence ambiance and delicious food. Perfect for date night, especially if paired with a sunset. Our server was really friendly and positive! Highly recommended
Fantastic experience overall. Make sure to arrive early to snag a table next to the edge of the railing overlooking the gardens and the mountains. These tables fill up fast. And there's is happy hour, too. Ill6be coming back. Their food and drinks were excellent and prices reasonable for the experience.
Beautiful atmosphere! This is definitely the go-to place when you want to impress out-of-town friends or relatives! Food is great- love the margaritas! But, if you want a memorable after-dinner dessert- i'd recommend the Keoki coffee. Don't ask- just try it! :-) as for the rest of the food... i like to do a set of appetizers like the garlic bread, calamari, mushrooms and sashimi-- but if you are tempted like i was to order the sushi- try to refrain- OR at least don't expect it to be 'who-knows-what'.... it was dry and kind of lame- lacked flavor. they didn't bring extra wasabi or shoyu and all you could taste was the thick rice... while that wouldn't bother me- the price of the sushi would have been better spent at kozo or genki. otherwise- all was great!
Excellent food, beautiful location. Popular and wait can be long. Interestingly we were told 1 to 1.5 hr wait and only had to sit 30 minutes.
Such tasty food! Just be prepared for a long wait to get in. Usually an hour minimum
So good that I got food allergies here and I still come back.
Rice could be so much better. Their take on a cannoli was very good.
A very good place to take friends when in town from the mainland.
Great cocktails. Great food. Great environment. Loved the Li Hing Mui cocktail!
Awesome restaurant. The food was to amazing and the view matched. Get there early for the best seating. Take a stroll in the gardens below while you wait for your table, or after dinner. One of the highlights of our trip for sure.
What a great place prime rib and desserts were awesome
Love bringing our family who visit the islands and those very close to us to see and experience Haleiwa Joe's at Haiku. This place has a special place in our Ohana for multiple reasons.
Excellent food. Good service. Well worth the visit. They are known for their prime rib. Well earned. Also had the baby cake. You really need to get one of those.
At the Sunday buffet the food was good but our service was not. I wish there was a sign in front telling you it was only buffet and the cost. We were sat at a table practically in the middle of the line when we also had a stroller with us. So we asked to be moved to not block the line. We also didn t get a menu telling us the buffet was $26 or that the soft drinks cost for a refill. Our server didn t introduce herself. I was looking forward to eat here but will not be recommending this to anyone. The view is the reason why I gave two stars not one.
I called to make a reservation & waited on hold for 55 minutes.
While still on hold, I called from another phone, & then was informed they don't take reservations.
When I told them I had been waiting almost an hour to make a reservation I received no apology or clarification for the wait & was hung up on.
Other reviews mentioned good service, but I can't attest this.
Fabulous brunch. As a tip, if there's a long wait to sit on the verandah, you can sit around the bar. Great brunch buffet!
Great food, great scenery but a bit pricy. Very polite and nice waiter.
Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! The view was spectacular. Very impressed with the crab dip and the grilled fish. Highly recommend
