"If you get only one mai tai in Hawai‘i, order it at House without a Key, the beachside bar and restaurant in the Halekulani hotel. The version here is classic and well-executed, and if you come around sunset you’re in for a prime seat where you can also watch Hawaiian musicians and a former Miss Hawai‘i dance hula. Even for locals, this scene never gets old." - martha cheng

They had a hula dancer when I went there and it was super cool. The food was okay but nothing too tasty it just looks pretty. If you plan on going here it should definitely be more for the ambiance because in my opinion the food from food trucks or just other smaller restaurants is better, bigger, and cheaper. Keep in mind that if you ask to be seated for cocktails then the menu is more limited than the dinner menu.

Ambiance, service and food were top notch. 4 stars for price though. They think far, far too highly of themselves especially for not offering 100% organic food. This is pretty standard quality at a nice restaurant but they charge $20 for a drink, $25 for an appetizer, $50-$80 for an entree. But love the live music and view at night.

The food was ok. I especially liked the fresh catch of the day. However, the chicken breast was dry and tough. I would not recommend it. The sushi roll was superb. It was tasty and full of umami. The cocktail was nice too. I’m also glad that they have a menu for kids. Our fellow Filipino waiters did an excellent job serving us. We had a great time. My only complaint was the quality of food. It is a high end restaurant. The food was pricey so you’d expect better quality. We were also expecting to watch the sunset from our tables but it was not directly facing west. So we had to get closer to the fence and look to our far right to watch it.

The restaurant is inside a beautiful hotel. The restaurant itself has splendid views. The staff and service were wonderfully pleasant. The food was spectacular from the taro buns to the main courses and dessert. I ordered the catch of the day burger which was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time! The fish tacos were a step above other restaurants in flavour. The mai tai was fantastic and it's renowned for good reason. Parking is validated and you've 4 hours to park and walk around after your meal.

This is a great location. We went late so we did not get to enjoy the stunning sunset. Service was excellent and food was good, not great. We enjoyed a nice salad, fish of the day and chocolate cake for dessert. The fish was dry and needed the butter sauce. Everything else was delicious

It's heaven for Japanese people. The breakfast buffet offers basic Japanese dishes like miso soup. Other dishes are also delicious. You can enjoy a luxurious breakfast at a lovely ocean-view seat.

Best beach front restau in waikiki! This is where we bring our friends visiting the island. Food is good and atmosphere is relaxing. It is a perfect spot to view the Diamond head while dining. Staff are very friendly as well. Coconut Cake is a must!

This place was so lovely! We came for cocktail hour and we had some delicious hand crafted cocktails! Service was great, and there was a group playing live music and doing theme hula during sunset. Perfection!
