Arden Waikiki

Our dinner at Arden was the best meal we had not only in Honolulu, but during our entire Hawaii trip including Maui and the Big Island. The cocktails were tasty, and our server did a great job helping us each choose. We ate "family style" sharing the tomato salad, poke, venison tartar, and roasted cabbage. The baked Hawaiian for dessert was incredible. Everything we ate and drank was amazing!

MarryAnn and Javi are the best!!!! Food is amazing, service is great. Love it! My kids had the best time even though my kids were the only one in the restaurant.

Went with a group of 4, we ordered about 8 or 9 different dishes including dessert. Everything was AMAZING, each with its own unique flavor. Absolutely recommend this place, especially for groups of 4 or 5 so you can try many different things. Staff was super friendly too, great service!

First class meal. We've been big fans of chef Makoto and Amanda from their restaurant in Vancouver and Arden continues to keep us enthralled. Must try the Baked Hawaiian dessert. Amazing play on the baked Alaskan but with Hawaii flavors.

What a wonderful restaurant just off the main strip of Waikiki (close to Kaimana Beach at Lotus Hotel). The flavors were excellent, and each dish was portioned so that the entire table (party of four) could share it. They also have a children's menu, and my young nephew approves of the bolognese made with local organic ground beef and freshly grated parmesan. Highlights include the hamachi carpaccio, french fries with mentaiko dip added is a must, 16 oz. ribeye with chimichurri, mushroom rice, pepper crusted ahi (line caught in Hawaii), grilled prawns, and both desserts (but that Baked Hawaii? Sooo good!). This restaurant is a great addition to Hawaii's food scene. Kudos to Chefs Makoto and Amanda. Eta: And how could I forget. The service was excellent! From the hostess to the servers and even the GM Andrew, who all came by to check up on our table.
