Solera

I made a reservation specifically to enjoy the fireworks, and I was so excited for the evening. While the hostess was extremely polite despite looking quite flustered, the management experience fell short. The manager (or bar manager—she was wearing a headset) and the gentleman behind the bar came across as notably abrupt. Having worked in the industry for many years, I completely understand the stress of a busy night, but this felt out of place for an establishment of this caliber—especially being at a Ritz-Carlton. Onto the food! The drinks were fantastic and the meal itself was delicious, though I was a bit disappointed to find some old, wilted pieces of lettuce in my salad. Otherwise, no complaints! A special shoutout to our amazing server (a redheaded-woman whose name I unfortunately didn't catch)—she was wonderful. And the view for the fireworks? Absolute perfection. 10/10 for the view and the server!

We heard about this famous shaved ice and needed to try it. It was created by Michelin-starred Chef Yoichi Ishizaki from Tokyo. Our server was very friendly and made sure we got the settled in and happy with our dessert.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and seated. The view was amazing and we were lucky enough to witness a beautiful sunset. We ordered the prix-fixe menu which was delicious. The drinks were perfect and almost dangerous. Everyone was very attentive and kind, answering any and all questions. The piano player added such an elegant touch, he elevated the atmosphere the moment he began to play. I can't wait to dine here again.

Honestly coming to hawaii for the first time and being a massive foodie. Most of the places have been fairly disappointing. Until a local recommended me here. The place is absolutely beautiful, elegant, and so well designed. Live piano, and an open view of the beach/city I knew i was at the right spot. The A5 Wagyu deviled eggs are a MUST try. We also got the butterfish and it tasted like a homemade asian meal. Ambience was amazing, everyone was friendly and super accommodating. I would definitely come back and recommend this spot to everyone.

First off, I thought the food was really, really good. The only thing better than the food was the service! I'm born and raised here but don't go into Waikiki too often. This was a nice treat for us, a leisurely Sunday brunch. Looked like there were some Ritz residents dining as well and it was a very relaxed vibe. I ordered the Mahalo Fest 2026 set menu which included fresh fruit, miso butterfish chazuke, and banana bread pancakes. SO glad I ordered that on the recommendation of our server, Summer. She also recommended the mango juice and that was excellent too. - Fresh fruit: your usual assortment with a yuzu syrup. The fruit was ice cold and super sweet. - Miso butterfish chazuke: butterfish was cooked perfectly. I'm pretty picky with fish since we can get it everywhere and I cook all kinds of fish at home. It had no bones, had a great color to it and was a good portion. It was on top white rice and you get tea poured table side into your bowl (thank you to Rubon, who was very friendly!) - Banana bread pancakes: wow. Would definitely order this by itself. I love banana bread so this was one of my faves. I highly recommend whatever specials they have, like the Mahalo Fest set that I had. Yes, you're paying a little more here but you're also paying for the service and view. It was so relaxing looking out into the blue sky and Waikiki beach skyline. We never had the chance to ask for anything because we always had our water and coffee refilled, new utensils after our entree, and our empty dishes were cleared immediately. Like everyone, we're on a budget but life is short so sometimes you have to treat yourself. Thank you to Summer and everyone else there, we'll definitely be back! The restaurant validates your parking if you park just to dine here which is nice, and the valet service was great. Helpful hint: the roundabout to park is inside the half roundabout you see from the street. You drive into and over the stone driveway (which looks like a sidewalk).
