Quiora

Truly had a lovely dinner date here! The skyline and ocean view is a magnificent treat while dining, and the staff are all so sweet and courteous. The pasta was hands down the best I've had in Hawai'i and I'm still thinking about that uni pasta, specifically. Super rich, umami, and bursting with fresh uni flavor- and the noodles were the PERFECT level of al dente texture. Such a decadent treat! I'm not usually a tiramisu person either, but theirs was notably delicious. This would be a great choice for a special occasion meal :) Plus that evening there was a high powered telescope set up and a lovely individual was setting it up so people could enjoy a peek at Saturn and other delights!

We went to Quiora at the Ritz for Mother’s Day brunch. I think my son in law did a great job making this reservation for us. The food did not taste bad it was good but nothing that Wow’d us. The first you notice is the place looked like a pop up buffet. Like they converted a conference room to be a make shift buffet. And for the price, and being the Ritz you would expect a wider variety of food choices. I could say more but you get the idea. I would say that for the Ritz, they fell short. This would have been a cheaper, nice regular buffet but not for the Ritz. Oh and we asked for coffee after our meal and it was barely warm. I should have asked for a glass of ice to pour it in to make iced coffee!

We visited here for an anniversary and the food and service were great as always. It was or crowded that day, and we had a reservation before the sunset, so we enjoyed the nice sunset sky over our starter. This time we went with the set menu they offered, and everything was very delicious. We added Eggplant Parmesan on the side and it was on-point.

The service and ambiance of this restaurant is amazing. If you are on a date make sure you go on Friday’s to see the firework show a little after sunset. The food is great and an amazing value.

Quiora is a gem tucked inside The Ritz-Carlton with one of the most stunning views in Waikiki—overlooking the bay and city from a beautiful terrace. The vibe is definitely on the fancier side, but still feels welcoming and relaxed. Perfect spot for a special dinner or sunset cocktails. The atmosphere, service, and scenery make it an awesome dining experience all around.”

May 2025 The Ritz Carlton Residences' al fresco Italian restaurant provides a relaxed but stylish setting. The food is well made and generous with an updated menu based on current trends. The wine menu is extensive and varied for all tastes and occasions. The servers reflect the global brand with consistent friendliness and accomodating sensibilities from the greeters, our waiter Marshall and the other servers which exemplifies the Hawaii spirit. The premises although limited is spacious , airy, with enough privacy. Reservations are recommended. Ideal for small grouos and dates.

We enjoyed smoked tuna salad for lunch with pita bread. Fresh greens, edamame, olives & veggies with light citrus dressing. Assorted island fruit (including raspberries strawberry blueberry boysenberry)for dessert. Sat outside overlooking Waikiki PS Restrooms impeccably appointed.

The food was solid. The service was pretty rough. It started off when we ordered our drinks, had to remind to bring them after about 20 minutes. Getting any type of water or drink refill is non-existent, I had to go up to the front and ask. When we got our food about an hour later (not complaining here) - I was looking for some Parmesan cheese - I waited 15 minutes trying to flag a server, no server in sight. It was completely like we were non-existent - no one checked how the food was or cooked to our liking, didn’t see if we need anything (all of our drinks were out for over 20 mins) and finally, I got up and had to ask the front desk for additional Parmesan . I had to go up again just to get our check. Our waiter just completely disappeared during the entire time here. At the Ritz, and the prices they are charging, I would expect a lot more for the service side. Needs a lot of work. The place was not busy or full. A few positives, the view and atmosphere is amazing. Overall, food quality is great. The service really needs some help here, we won’t be coming back here again.

Staycay for the weekend in Waiks. Early 4th of July dinner...had to go early for baby and so we could get back to watch the Hilton fireworks. I feel like there was a improvement on food...or maybe we just ordered better this time. - Uni Crab Arancini ball thingy - YUM. Baby stole my uni. - Caprese - nice and different. Probably the best mozzarella stick I've ever had. Coating was light and the cheese was delish. I didn't like the sauce though. To me that made it way too mozzarella stick-ish rather than caprese-ish. - Oxtail - hubs got this. Was yummy. He liked it. Surprised he didn't finish. Was pretty big, plus we had drinks and pupu. - Pork chop - I was back and forth on what I wanted so asked the Waiter. His eyes lit up and he completely sold me on the dish. And you know what...he was right. It was sooooo goooood. That polenta...OH.MY.GOD. YUM. Luckily I got to eat it for 2 more meals. - Brussels - probably the bet Brussels I've had. Most places it's oily and sitting in sauce. This one had choke taste, was crispy but not at all oily. Air fried? Whatevers...it was delish. I totes forgot my heels when we walked over. So my nice dress and rubbah slippahs. But no worries, since even if it's fancy, it's also not fancy. I didn't feel too out of place.

Sweet, indeed! Last night we celebrated our 27th Anniversary at this beautiful outdoor dining for the FIRST time in the Ritz-Carlton in Waikiki. The staff were friendly and incredibly accommodating especially our hostess, server Chris and manager Preston. With open sky you can enjoy the Waikiki scenery and Friday fireworks. The menu was short but spot on taste and creativity especially with my uni pasta which included crab. Chris made special accommodations with my cuisine since Im allergic to crab which I am grateful. Loved that my pasta was Al dente and the creamy sauce was just right- smooth and flavorful and the uni added that special touch- "onolicisious", indeed! It was hard to save some for our youngest son to try later. My hubby had the short rib with lentils and veggies. It was so tender and full of incredible flavors that I had eaten 1/3 of his plate (yes, it was that "ono" (delicious)! Since we don't drink (much), we didn't have a cocktail/mocktail so this round we just chilled and enjoyed the view and food. They do have a full menu of incredible spirits so this a great place for cocktail hour with sunsets, beautiful skies and cool nights under the stars. Price point is expected since it is located in the Ritz-Carlton but not super crazy like other places I've been. It's a casual yet stylish (so no come with your bikinis, slippahs and t-shirt). Dress upscale casual and you will have an incredible and joyful time. By the way, check out their sister restaurant on the same floor for a more hearty meal and incredible dessert. Manager Preston escorted us there to ensure we got a sweet table to sample their yummy- Hashi-gori....you won't be disappointed! Bon Appetito!

I live nearby and i don't know why I never just explored this great spot. It's a Tuesday 2 pm. And I had hi-top table facing the ocen with a experienced bartender Katie who made me a espresso martini It's sn early afternoon meal it was a hoagie with pork it was so good I was just staring at the ocean and wondering why this place is not more crowded.. I encourage anybody that lives nearby this place to check it out it's at the Ritz-Carlton that's why I think it's kind of like nobody's here but it's amazing had 2 cocktails with the best ocean views highly recommend this place

The house old fashioned and buratta pupu were the perfect pau hana treat! A beautiful sunset view sitting at a high top table, great conversation, and the old fashioned here is really quite good. While the sun goes down, you are sitting directly in it, so be prepared. It is nice and quiet up at this outdoor area, Quiora is situated outdoors very nicely at the Ritz Waikiki over looking rooftops and the ocean in the distance. Dressy casual. Great service. Small but great menu options for pau hana. A couple of nice wine options but my friend and I both chose a cocktail. The buratta with arugula had a really nice, light dressing and was very delicious and refreshing. I was having such a nice time, other than our selfies, I forgot to snap photos of the food and bevvies, and only have one other to share .

Came here twice for the lunch service, both times were excellent. It appears that there aren't a lot of people that died here for lunch, but that's what attracts me to this place. You can have a really relaxing meal with friends and not feel like you have to hurry up and eat and leave. We actually spent almost 3 hours here and the waiter didn't seem to mind the smoked ahi dip was a great way to start our mail. The pasta are house made and delicious. Valet parking is complementary for four hours.

Went to Quiora for my birthday dinner in the evening. The hostess greeted me by name because we made a reservation. That surprised me and I enjoyed the effort put into knowing your guest. The waiter unfortunately did not check in with us as often as we would have liked. Waited for a bit to ask for our check. The location was really nice you have a great view of the Waikiki skyline. The outdoor seating area was well maintained and inviting. The lighting could be a little better at the table as my wife and I had a hard time reading the menus. We ordered the braised short rib and the 22oz bone in ribeye. The braised short rib was good and tender but could use a little more seasoning. The ribeye was cooked to my desired temperature and once again could use some more seasoning. The sides specifically the Mac and cheese were delicious. The Mac and cheese should be its own item on the menu. Pricing was solid for what we ordered. Sadly the food took quite a while to get to us and the wife was getting a little frustrated by the time it came out. Overall a good experience with some minor hiccups.

I recently visited Quiora with a large 12 person group and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant's ambiance is great for sunset with stunning views of Waikiki... perfect for a relaxing evening. If you're there on Friday like we were, you get a view of the fireworks too! I ordered the American wagyu steak, and it was cooked to perfection... juicy, tender, and incredibly flavorful. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, 2 salads, and a couple of pastas. I originally wanted vanilla gelato for dessert, but the waiter let me know it hadn't set properly that evening, so I opted for the sorbet instead. While I was a little disappointed at first, the sorbet turned out to be light, refreshing, and a great way to end the meal. The service was attentive throughout the evening. If you're looking for a spot with incredible food, great service, and nice views, Quiora is an excellent choice. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu (and hopefully the vanilla gelato next time!)

This was some of the best food I've had in a long time. The mahi mahi was incredible. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauce was so so good. This was the best meal we had all trip. From the cake to the pasta to the burrata, everything here was a 10/10. The views of the ocean were gorgeous- highly recommend eating at sunset! Most of all, the service was impeccable. It started to rain while we were outside and they were so quick to move us to covered tables, to hold umbrellas so we didn't get wet, and to check in with us to make sure we were doing ok.

Truly had a lovely dinner date here! The skyline and ocean view is a magnificent treat while dining, and the staff are all so sweet and courteous. The pasta was hands down the best I've had in Hawai'i and I'm still thinking about that uni pasta, specifically. Super rich, umami, and bursting with fresh uni flavor- and the noodles were the PERFECT level of al dente texture. Such a decadent treat! I'm not usually a tiramisu person either, but theirs was notably delicious. This would be a great choice for a special occasion meal :) Plus that evening there was a high powered telescope set up and a lovely individual was setting it up so people could enjoy a peek at Saturn and other delights!

Beautiful views with awesome service, every dish was a hit! Honorable mentions are the ahi dip and pee wee potatoes:)

Located in the Ritz Carlton on the restaurant floor, with beautiful sunsets and amazing service, from the time I made the reservation Jennifer was very friendly and accommodating. The view and the service and the food is excellent and the drinks are originals. The chili clams were terrific and the bread was very good and went well with the clams and the broth was exceptionally tasty! The Caesar salad was a lot we could only finish half the plate, it was good but got pretty filled up with the clams & the bread. My chicken dish was very good it was flavorful and moist, even that I couldn't finish, the vegetables were done perfectly. My wife had the vegetable lasagna which she enjoyed a lot it was very flavorful and tasty. The restrooms are beautiful, 5 star very well kept and super clean. They have valet parking at the hotel & condominium.

This was one of the best meals we had in Waikiki! The staff were super friendly, it started raining when we were there and they helped us switch to a different table out of the rain almost immediately. The food was really tasty, we had the burrata to start and it was so light and refreshing. We then had a mushroom pasta, chicken dish, and fish of the day and they were all incredible. We ended the night with the tiramisu and it was really yummy.

Lunch at the Ritz-Carlton in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii... I went to Quiora a long time ago for dinner and kind of forgot that it was open-air dining. We were lucky to have a gentle, cool breeze. However, a couple of aggressive birds lurked around us. I received an email about the 3-couse special lunch. Making a reservation online was easy. I appreciated the reminder about the date and time. Valet parking for 3 hours was great! We just had to remember to get our ticket validated and give a tip to the valet. Sharon was the bubbly receptionist. She was so personable and even sang "Happy Birthday" to my friend! Sharon has an excellent singing voice! Royce was our knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly server. He was quite perceptive and attentive! He gave great suggestions and brought a complimentary lilikoi sorbet for my friend's birthday dessert! I ordered the (tender) Braised short rib "French Dip" sandwich and (smokey) Grilled Caesar salad. Both were flavorful and had a beautiful presentation! I was really happy with my meal!

Go in the daytime when you can see the magnificent ocean view. We were there after dark and enjoyed the city lights. We started with a glass of wine. They have a good selection of wine. For the appetizer we shared the ahi dip. It was good and had enough bread slices for the dip. We came because they make their pasta fresh. I had the oxtail pasta and my friend had uni and clam. Both sauces were rich in flavor. Mine was very rich and had a strong wine flavor. They were both good. For dessert we had sorbet. I would come back again late afternoon to enjoy the sunset. The water was attentive and it was nice they allowed us to stay after the restaurant was closed not to rush us. I recommend nice clothing as it is ani e restaurant.

Service was very nice and the view was beautiful. The dessert was our favorite out of all of the courses, overall the food was good. While my mind wasn't blown, I definitely would consider coming again and trying different things on the menu. The menu has a lot of options and extensive drink options!

Great views of the skyline. The customer service was amazing!! The food was good but nothing to rave about. It's outdoors so go no earlier than sunset or you'll get blasted by the sun . And being a light jacket, it can get breezy at night.

Located inside the Ritz Carlton building. Issues: 1) we pulled up and there is a valet stand but no one comes to the one in the front - you gotta turn into the building and go to the OTHER valet stand to get service (we figured it out after waiting a couple minutes) but why put a valet stand if it's not manned? 2) took elevator upstairs and OMG - the sun beats down on you ridiculous hot. They do not offer any sun shades or any means of escaping the intense heat and this was for DINNER! 3) overpriced - we went for their exclusive Easter buffet dinner. What a disappointment. For that price - it should have been spectacular. The tables were so sparse - no one was there. I guess everyone else knew what a rip off this price is for the quality and variety of food you get/offered. Will not return to this venue.

The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food however was below average and almost inedible. According to the manager the menu was new and they were working out the kinks. The food was extremely salty. Kids could not eat anything so we ended up ordering the pizza from the kids menu. When it came out the $27 pizza smelled -and looked disgusting and my children couldn't eat any of it. Manager was extremely unhelpful and went on and on about ordering breakfast from their sister restaurant to make up for the inedible meal. Why would I ever eat at one of their restaurants again??

Located in the luxurious Waikiki Ritz Carlton Hotel. You take the elevator to the lobby and step out into the breathtaking ocean view of the infamous Waikiki Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and Joshua's service was excellent! The sangria tasted as beautiful as it looked. We ended up ordering 2 desserts. Happy eating

An Italian restaurant inside the Ritz-Carlton. It's a terrace restaurant, so it has a sense of openness and a nice view. The appetizer was Caprese, fried mozzarella cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. The salad was a green salad with pickled strawberries and roasted beets, and was served with a macadamia nut sauce, just like ricotta cheese. This was a delicious salad. It's a great salad for people who are allergic to dairy products like me. The main dish was oxtail pasta with a delicious ragu. Today's fish menu was mahi-mahi in a spicy sauce, served with vegetables. The service was also good. However, it was a birthday, and I went there, but it was disappointing that there was no birthday message on the dessert plate. This may have been because my partner, who made the reservation, didn't request anything. What's special about this restaurant is the handmade pasta. リッツ・カールトン内のイタリアレストラン。テラスレストランなので、解放感や景色が、よいです。前菜は、カプレーゼは、揚げたモッツァレーラチーズとドライトマト。サラダは、ピックルスイチゴ、ローストビーツのグリーンサラダに、マカデミアナッツのソースが、まるで、リコッタチーズのように、添えあります。この美味しいサラダは。私のような乳製品が、アレルギーの人には、嬉しいサラダです。メインディッシュは、オックステールのパスタは、旨みのラグーが、美味しいでした。今日の魚のメニューは、マヒマヒのスパィシィーソースに、野菜が、添えありました。サービスも、良かったです。このレストランにて、特筆すべきは、ハンドメイドパスタであることです。しかし、お誕生日で、行ったのですが、デザートのプレートに、バースデーメッセージが、無かったのは、残念でした。これは、予約を入れたパートナーが、なにも、リクエストをしなかったのが、いけなかったのでかもしれません。

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and we had a great time. The service was great and the view was amazing. Steak was cooked to my husband's preference except they sliced it, he prefers to do the cutting himself. The ambiance is perfect date nights and highly recommended.

Lunch with a view... Here and now is Quiora and you can find them in the Ritz-Carlton in Waikiki right on Kalaimoku Street which sits between Kūhiō and Kalākaua Ave and after reading Andy F's review he's absolutely right as actually finding them is the biggest challenge as validated parking is free for three hours we had to rely on directions to find them which to be honest I couldn't really tell you what floor and the amount of pools we passed along with La Vie which is another restaurant though walking past the amenities along with the stunning view of the ocean that alone has me feeling relaxed and hungry. Upon arrival we were greeted by Sharon a beaming ray of sunshine and before getting us situated asked if we wanted indoor our outside...that view OUTSIDE please! What a staycation vibe it gives you as our server Royce was excellent with the thorough knowledge of the menu items though we came for the "Quiora's Lunch Set" which is a three course set. - Iced Tea - Roasted Vegetable Panini - Garlic Truffle Fries These were my choices and the iced tea which was so nice and refreshing paired perfectly with my Panini sandwich which was filled with veggies that I had to enjoy with their Garlic Truffle Fries...along with the view...love! Thank you to the entire staff for making this lunch a fun and memorable experience and what a lovely view to just relax and enjoy. Thank you!

Came here to celebrate my birthday. We had the 3-course business lunch- soup or salad, main (fish or steak frites) and dessert. I have to say food was good but portion was small. We love the service. Special shout out to Sharon whose incredible deep voice made my birthday extra special with her rendition of Happy Birthday song. Ambiance is of course luxurious. Restaurant is inside Ritz Carlton Hotel. It has amazing views and the endless pools just add to the luxurious vibe.

Wanted a quick bite to eat for lunch and really wanted Italian, so decided to stop by Quiora while in Waikiki. The staff at this restaurant were so welcoming and friendly, it was almost scary! From the hostess to the servers, I received top notch service while at this restaurant. The ambiance was calm, quiet and where I sat, had a wonderful ocean view while I ate. Now for the food: I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and to be honest, I was disappointed with what I got. The portion size was small enough to feed to a toddler, but the meatballs (5) were amazing! Definitely not worth $32 though. All in all, I would come back to this restaurant and try some other items on the menu. Pro tip: make sure to get a seat on the deck. The views alone are worth the price you pay to eat here! One thumb up and a high five for Quiora's! Happy eating, my foodies!

My friends and their other halves and I came here for my birthday. It was nice and the view was beautiful. But there were some things a that were lacking. Since we had a party over 12 people, we have to place our orders in advanced. Never had that happen before but ok we did. When we arrived we were seated at 2 different tables. I guess the space wasn't big enough to accommodate a party if 12 on one long table. Also food took a while to come out considering we had already put in out orders ahead of time. We waited an hour from the time we were seated for our food out come out. Food was ok. I did like the truffle fries were good. The view of the ocean was nice. Other than that. Food was about average.

Best meal and service so far this trip! We got there early for our 6:00 reservation and had a few drinks at the bar. The bartender, Katie, was attentive and made awesome cocktails! Our meal was outstanding. We started with the grilled Caesar salad then shared the 22oz steak plate. The service could not have been better. We felt like we were the only diners because the attention was so great! Delish and a highlight of our visit so far. Expensive but worth it!

Loved the service and location! Food was really good esp the burata starter and oxtail pasta. Dont mind paying the pricey food because the quality was def worth it!

Being in the Ritz, I had high expectations. Apparently I should have looked at the other reviews. Our server was unnecessarily rude. Food was bland. Tables face directly into the sun, with umbrellas that don't tilt. We came here for my mom's birthday. They brought us a teeny piece of cake at the end... and then proceeded to charge us for it. Very odd, considering we didn't ask for it. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The world food tour made its first visit to Quiora, the other restaurant on the 8th floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Waikiki. It's a sweeping open space with vistas of Waikiki featuring white marble / quartz flooring and a bar at the far end of the space. There are a number of tables with umbrellas at the leading edge of the space overlooking the pools but these were unoccupied due to inclement weather. We were blessed with a few sprinkles occasionally on our table. We were early for our 5:30pm reservation so we spent 30 minutes at the bar in La Vie enjoying Monkey 47 gin and tonics and the views. I love this gin and my food partner found it to her liking during a trip to Malaysia. The wine list at Quiora is relatively short but one has access to the wine list from La Vie. I wanted something from Italy or Spain but my first choice, Tempranillo "La Navilla", wasn't available so we selected a 2013 "Vina Cubillo" from Lopez de Heredia. They're both reasonably priced wines (in the store, not so much at Quiora) and the age made the wine soft (in a good way) and delectable. Being National Carbonara Day we wanted a carbonara but the only one featured lobster, a no-go for one with a shellfish allergy. None of the appetizers struck a chord with us so we chose the Small Kine Farms Mushroom Campanelle ($35) to share. This was a fabulous dish of pasta accented by fried kale, garlic butter, truffle mushroom coulis, white wine and Parmesan cheese. Our entrees were the 12oz Snake River Farms American Wagyu Ribeye ($81) and the Australian Costolette di Agnello ($78), both prepared medium rare The ribeye came sliced with grilled broccolini and two sauces; one for the steak, the other for the vegetable. It looked a lot larger than 12oz. The Costolette was a hearty rack of lamb, with crispy eggplant and kale, brussels sprouts, and a caponata chutney. We had Broccoli alla Griglia ($16) and Asparagi Grigliati ($16) for our sides. The vegetables came well-seasoned and were delicious. In hindsight, we didn't need the broccolini as it was featured with the ribeye. Dessert was the tried and true Tiramisu ($14) and I enjoyed a double espresso. We enjoyed our time at Quiora ... The food and drink were great, service exemplary and it's always nice to have a venue overlooking the skyline of Waikiki. La Vie or Quiora? I prefer the former but Quiora was great. Recommended!

Windy and with pool renovation, service was moved to La Vie around the corner. Greeted by the most friendly hostess who sat us at a nice corner booth. The server acknowledged us immediately bought us drink and explained the menu. I tried the business lunch and my guest had the balsamic bbq wings and garlic truffle fries. Everything tasted great as expected, service and ambience was spot on. Can't wait to come back for sunset dinner.

Aloha Had my birthday dinner here tonight. View was amazing, service was good, however the prices were a little pricey for what you get. Why ask if celebrating an occasion and not provide a complimentary dessert. Not a candle was given, birthday song not sang (which is ok by me) however, the desserts purchased were delicious. Would we return, probably not.

Lovely time over here at Quiora. Easy Valet parking. Nice open air restaurant. It's modern, clean, and spacious. All staff was pleasant, friendly, and professional. Shout out to Kyle and Masrhall for taking care of us, definitely made our night special. We had the Calabrian Chili Clams which and Ahi poke dish as well. Both very fresh and a must try when coming here! Our mains consisted of Brasato al Vino Rosso which was all well balanced and the short rib melted in my mouth. Mountain View Farms Pork Rigatoni was our other main, very nice flavors that were bright and fresh. Over all we had a great time here and definitely would recommended to anyone looking to have a nice memorable dinner. Top notch restaurant and staff. I will be back for sure!

The location, open outdoor seating and live music were fantastic! I really wanted to enjoy our first night on our vacation, so we booked this restaurant for convenience and the reviews. Unfortunately the experience left us disappointed. Our waiter was friendly and recommended the vegetable "lasagna" as a popular dish. The dish is more of a casserole and comes in a cast iron dish that is completely baked in the oven. However in my first bite the whole center was cold. The exterior was piping hot but the internal temperature was like the fridge. I told the waiter, and he said it's still cold? He takes and it and 20 minutes later brings a new one. By this time my husband had completely finished his meal since both dishes originally came at the same time. This one was hot, but the pasta on the inside was so mushy, it was difficult to decipher what was cheese and what was pasta with very little vegetables inside - which made for a terrible texture. They still charged us for the dish despite me taking only two bites. It's my fault for ordering the "wrong" dish but it came highly recommended when asking about popular dishes. I would not recommend this - there are other vegetarian options available. My husband got the mahi mahi and said it was wonderful! He asked them to modify the eggplant for broccolini and the chef totally made it work. They were very kind and tried to make it a good experience. I would recommend sticking to the seafood items even though it's an Italian restaurant. Wish we had a better experience overall since we were celebrating my birthday and our wedding anniversary.

Quiora is in the upscale Ritz Carlton Waikiki. The space is out on the outdoor deck by the pool so it's relaxed and more casual than you would think. Service was excellent. There's a server and an assistant taking care of you. The assistant manager came by twice to check on us. You can order from Hy's Steakhouse, their "big brother" restaurant. The 22oz bone in ribeye was perfectly seasoned and delicious! Served on a bed of crispy Brussels sprouts and a garlic herb mascarpone, zucchini parmesan and campanelle mac and cheese. The Spaghetti Carbonara di Aragosta was tasty but needed more of a creamier sauce. I appreciate the handmade pasta. Wonderfully made and cooked perfectly. The Tiramisu was definitely the highlight of the meal. There's a great view of Waikiki. Sunset, beach and city views. Complimentary valet parking good for 4 hours. I'll try their lunch menu next time.

Quiora produces great flavors, selects quality ingredients, and creates amazing food for their menu. A good example was the smoke ahi dip. The flavor was great, the dip was not heavy, it was presentable, the bread complimented the dip, it wasn't fishy, and even though there was no smokey flavor, it still was great. Once they get the smoke flavor in there, it's a HOME RUN! Dining is an outdoor covered area that has an amazing ocean and city view Staff and servicers are kind, friendly, and engaging. Payment Cash or credit Parking Valet or metered parking along Kuhio Ave.

Amazing location, amazing food, amazing service. We came here for my wife's birthday and it was a complete success. There was 10 of us total and they gave us enough time to get acclimated and greet everyone joining for dinner. Our servers were outstanding from beginning to end. Food was delivered at perfect timing and the manager Kyle was top class. The layout of the restaurant is pristine. Thank you for a memorable experience Quiora

Exactly what you want in a pricey, upscale restaurant. I don't mind paying top dollar for food that's top notch. The ox tail pappardelle should really be called ox tail OVER pappardelle because the amount of lean, melt-in-your-mouth, meat slowly cooked all day in a rich, gravy-like broth is WAY more generous than I ever expected. One of the BEST meals I've EVER had, hands down. Will absolutely return the next time I'm in town.

Celebrated a friend's birthday here today. We don't often venture into Waikiki so it was fun. Located in the Ritz Carlton, Quiora offers outside dining. Pretty view and if you get there early, it's cool enough. We were there from 11:30-2. It started warming up by the time we left. Service is nice, food was good. I followed Rod U's advice and had the Wagyu burger. It was perfect... I ended up sharing it with a friend. Good thing because it's a nice size. The flatbread appetizer was delicious! Crunchy, topped with cheese and mushrooms... a definite have again. When we finished at about 2 pm and we're exiting, the hostess told us that they'd be serving complimentary ice cream. We stopped to check it out and sure enough. It's a tiny scoop into a little cup and it was delicious! Definitely return.

We went for dinner and it was amazing! The absolute best food of the trip and the staff was so kind. We also went for lunch, I'm not sure if it's a different chef or what, but the food was not good. So I get five stars for dinner and highly recommend. However, I would skip the spot for lunch.

What I loved about our special birthday meal at Quiora: friendly service. Prompt and attentive. Delicious food. I had the Market fish, which happened to be mahi-mahi my favorite. So many tasty veggies!!! We ordered the crispy fried Brussels sprouts and the broccolini, cooked to perfection. The problem? The sun! Can't believe this restaurant is entirely outdoors on a deck with zero shading from the fierce late afternoon sun. Simply impossible to dine there before sunset. You folks will have to figure this out for those of with kids who need to go to bed early!

Tonight thanks to Doc we got to celebrate Easter dinner with grace and class. From opening our car doors at the valet to checking us in for dinner all employees were professionally courteous and welcoming. Not overloaded and heaped on trays of food but carefully presented appetizers,salads and entrees and delicately plated desserts. Everything was excellent, the ribs were fork tender, the honey garlic chicken had a kick to it, the lobsters, shelled shrimp were perfectly prepared. There was such a variety it couldn't possibly fit on your plate so I chose wisely. I asked for end cut prime rib but my most favorite was the Peking duck on bun delicioso!!! I took a bite of each dessert except the bread pudding cuz no room on my plate. Fabulously stuffed in a good way. Thanks Doc!!! Happy Easter!

Note: This is a lunch review based on two recent visits. Think of lunch at Quiora as dining at a high end resort's pool side eatery. Incredibly relaxing. Open air. Outstanding service. Killer good cocktails but just OK food. Important things first, what a mojito! The "mo'betta Mojito", more like a smoothie than a drink, filled with pureed mango, fresh lime, and mint that completely masks the alcohol until you try to stand up. Bright and refreshing. Equally refreshing, "Your Lips Taste Like Sangria" (red wine, la caravdo pisco, strawberry, lychee, hibiscus, white peach, orange and lemon). The food is not exceptional. Pool side fare boasting good freshness and locally sourced ingredients. Nothing really stands out EXCEPT the "Here and Now" burger. IMHO, It ranks as one of the top three burgers on the island (StripSteak and Butcher and Bird are the other two JIC you're wondering). 8oz ultra rich ground American wagyu topped with panko crusted, deep fried mozzarella, sundried tomato jam and the requisite greens. Most impressive, the burger is actually cooked to temp. Mid rare requested, mid rare received. Deal alert: A three course lunch is available for $29. See website for details. Service, from the valet through the restaurant and anyone you meet on the property, is very welcoming and high end resort proper. Generous four hour parking validation. Excellent choice for a relaxing adult friendly lunch in Waikiki.

Fabulous view, valet parking, loved the drinks and entrees including mahi mahi w cream sauce and mushroom campanelle. The only thing I did not care for was the tuna dip with bread, just too heavy for an appetizer. I liked the olive oil cake but liked it better w everything else scraped off --but I also really like olive oil cake. Definitely, it is a good time to go at sunset or a Friday night during fireworks.

I tried it for a late lunch, and I went with the chicken farm sandwich with a side salad. It's pricy but I figured lunch would be more reasonable. It was an expensive chicken parm but not beyond what's expected in Waikiki at the Ritz, and the view was worth something. It was quiet and easy to get a table, and in fact a whole section, for a late lunch on a random weekday. The service was unsurprisingly excellent. The chicken park was fine, more breading than chicken, nice brioche bun, but the chicken was a bit dry and d just not the best ever. I think the menu said there was arugula in it, which is fine, but it came with romaine and maybe other random salad greens. The side salad was nice with a tasty vinaigrette. I needed to sit somewhere for a bit and this worked fine, but I probably wouldn't do it frequently. It's a nice view over Fort DeRussy and there was a gentle breeze most of the time at this height.

The restaurant is beautiful and has a great view. They specialize in pastas, but they have other great dishes too. We went on a Saturday night, and the service was quick, the staff was pleasant, and the food was delicious! This is a cute, romantic date night spot. I also love the outdoor setting. We had the Quiora house salad, smoked ahi dip, small kine farm mushroom campanelle (my favorite dish of the night), mountain view farms pork rigatoni, and two glasses of wine. I will definitely be coming back! The hotel that Quiora is in also offers complimentary valet for up to 3-4 hours with restaurant validation.

Relaxing atmosphere and beautify ocean view! If you want to avoid noise in Waikiki this place is highly recommended. I went to lunch with friend and it was first time to visit Ritz-Carlton Waikiki. Parking is only valet parking but you can get four hours free validation at the restaurant. (Great deal!) We had business lunch which is starter, main, and dessert. I chose Panzanella Salad (my friend chose Italian Wedding Soup), Pesce Alla Grilla, and our dessert was Lychee Panna Cotta. These three course lunch menu is good deal. Great ocean view (unfortunately, when we went lunch the weather was little breezy and sometimes heavy rain, but still nice view!), nice hospitality service, good food, relaxing space, so I highly recommend this restaurant. Their business lunch menu changes every month, so I'll be back and try again!

My friends and I decided to have a short staycation for one of friend's birthday, and dinner of choice was at Quiora which was a short walk away from our hotel. It was very easy to make reservations on OpenTable. We indicated it was for a birthday and our server did acknowledge the birthday wishing her a happy birthday shortly after seating. Quiora is located at the Ritz Carlton and can be a little hard to find without knowing where you're going. We took the elevators up to the Restaurants floor and had to ask the concierge for directions as there were no clear signs directing you to the restaurant. I do want to point out, if you have the choice, go on a Friday night as it has a very good view of the Friday night fireworks. We started off with the Smoked Ahi Dip, which was surprisingly pretty good. It comes with 4 slices of homemade focaccia which was perfect for the 4 of us. We also shared the Patate Arrosto, which was just okay. The potatoes were cooked well and placed over the goat cheese but the flavor wasn't anything special. I likely would not get this again. I was disappointed that as a pricier Italian restaurant, they did not offer any complimentary bread. For my entree, I had the Spaghetti Carbonara di Aragosta which was really good (better be good for $45). The flavor was very good and included a good amount of lobster (more than I thought). Although our entree did take quite a bit of time to come out so this is definitely not exactly a quick dinner. As for drinks, we tried the Passion Fruit Pop (non-alcoholic - refreshing soda, it was okay but not worth $12 honestly), Your Lips Taste Like Sangria (the best drink out of all the ones we got in my opinion), Kentucky Kiss (pretty strong so good if you like strong drinks), and I think Smoked Roots (very gingery). Another thing that was disappointing was that although I notice others got complimentary birthday desserts, none was offered to our birthday girl. Maybe it's because when she asked if we wanted to order dessert, we turned her down? But usually at most other establishments, when we say no to ordering dessert, the complimentary dessert is still offered. Not a big deal, but definitely disappointing as our meal was definitely not cheap. Overall it was fine but I expected a better experience for the price and just more since it's located at the Ritz Carlton. I likely would not personally choose to go back but if someone wanted to go, I wouldn't mind.

We tried the business lunch which was $29 so a decent price for 3 courses. The fish and panna cotta was really good but wasn't as excited about the soup. The here & now burger with fried mozzarella was great! "Here & Now" Burger american wagyu patty. fried mozzarella. tomato jam. arugula. kale. bagna càuda aioli. Italian Wedding Soup local vegetables. couscous. housemade sausage. kale. parmesan. Pesce alla Griglia catch of the day. corn. kalaeloa beans. yellow squash. chili crisp. citrus butter sauce. Lychee Panna Cotta berry compote. lemon streusel.

Can a restaurant be too casual, too laid back, or too open? Quiora might be bringing that vibe. Located in the Ritz-Carlton Waikiki. Only valet parking is available, but validation is provided free for four hours. It's a little confusing trying to get there. There's no signage showing you the way, but not hard to find. Just walk past everything (front desk, lounge, pool, etc.) till you reach the end. You'll see the sign on the host desk showing "Quiora." It's an outdoor dining area. Just pray for good weather. Definitely not ideal on windy and rainy days. But very ideal during sunset (that we JUST missed!). Everything is quite simple. Including the menu with 4 pasta selections, 5 mains, 6 apps, and 3 sides. We started with the Crispy Hen of the Woods Mushrooms. This was all right. Not quite what I expected. Roasting this made the mushrooms dry and flavorless, and there was not enough sauce or oil. I didn't get the earthiness. The farro was fine, but cold, which didn't go with the warm mushroom. The truffle crema on the bottom was delicious and tasty though. This had more earthiness than the mushroom! The Kauai Prawns Calabrese was okay. Prawns were over cooked. Leaving it less than sweet, and tougher than usual. But the Calabrese sauce was very tasty and delicious with a nice spice kick from the chili oil. The accompanying focaccia was okay as well. Dry and dense. Thank goodness for the sauce! The Mountain Pork Rigatoni was......not rigatoni. Not sure what happened here, but we received extra wide and thick pappardelle pasta instead. While I'm not complaining about the switch, why weren't we notified? Rigatoni would've worked better with the delicious and flavorful minced Mountain View pork too! Finished the meal with the Mishima American Wagyu Ribeye--medium. This did not come out medium. It was close to well done. The steak was thin and cut to wide pieces. What's the point of cutting it that way? It's too big for a bite, and it's not easier to cut into smaller strips because it's harder to stabilize the pre-cut pieces. This wasn't a BIG deal, but just minor details that took away from a better experience. The Wagyu ribeye was still good to eat. Sure, not as tender and juicy if it was prepared correctly, but it was still tasty and it had the char taste! The accompanying sauces were delicious, especially the tomato pesto. I would've loved that on everything we had! The other sauce, Salsa Verde, was all right. It didn't quite go well with the steak. The charred broccolini was prepared well. Tender, tasty, and had a nice char taste. Overall, this was still a decent meal. Sure, a lot of minor issues, but nothing major. Sauces were spot on! Definitely a nice place to enjoy a meal or celebrate a special occasion with a more casual feel. The service was fine. Didn't really feel anything because there wasn't much communication or interaction, but the manager was very friendly, courteous, and attentive. The menu is limited, but I appreciate the fact they used local ingredients with hand made pasta. But where was my handmade rigatoni?!
