   Came to dine for our anniversary. It was such a pleasant experience and ambience. I recommend going around 5-6 and enjoy the sunset and live music. Watching former Miss Hawaii ‘21 hula and the band sing was so sweet during dinner and drinks. The food was excellent and the service was timed just right.

   We were celebrating our 20 year anniversary. No real vegetarian options other than salad or small vegetable side. Should have checked into the menu before booking. Place was very pretty though.

   Family trip - to see Kanoe dance! As always, she was outstanding. Service friendly and attentive in House Without a Key. Appetizers while good, not as good as past years and overpriced. But I come for the beautiful ambience that can’t be beat anywhere in Waikiki!

    Such a lovely place for celebrating anything, daytime or evening. The setting is beautiful, close to the ocean. The menu offers a nice variety and the prices are upscale but not out of range, similar to other places in Waikiki. The food is very good and portions are large. Service is exceptionally good and friendly. We were celebrating two birthdays and were presented with two complimentary slices of their signature coconut cake, delicious! This is one of our favorite places, where you are always made to feel special.

    We went for the appetizers at sunset. This is a beautiful location off of the water, with a wonderful band, and former Miss Universe doing hula. We had the edamame hummus and mai tai’s. The hummus was the best I’ve ever had!! The mai tai was very disappointing, considering all of the hype about it! I wish I would have looked at the drink menu, as I definitely would have chosen something else. I took a piece of the coconut cake to go. This was also disappointing and a waste of calories. Overall I am not certain if I’d come here again. Since I don’t live here, I guess I won’t have to decide for a couple of years.

    Sadly it was too cloudy to see the sunset, but this is a charming spot. I loved the Cream of Luau soup and the coconut cake. The live music and hula dancer were also great. Impeccable service.

    From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. We were greeted with Happy Anniversary as noted in our reservation and treated to Anniversary cake for dessert. The food choices were varied and each small plate we ordered was delicious. The entertainment was wonderful, seating outside was comfortable and the setting with Diamond Head in the distance memorable. All we hoped it would be and more!

    Environment is so beautiful, peaceful,amazing! The edamame hummus was great. Coconut creme in the sweet pitato and luau (taro) was too rich for my preference. Snapper was not too good, in my opinion. But the bok choy and mushrooms that came with it were great. Perhaps offer more vegetarian options or sides? Overall a Wonderful experience!

    Mai tai was watered down and had little flavor. I've made the Halekulani's mai tai using their recipe and it was vastly superior than having it here. Fries were previously frozen w/ little salt, no flavor. Hula dancer and band were excellent. Despite the excellent entertainment, $40 for the mediocre food and drink wasn't worth it.

    Impressed with the new renovations.... Checked out the renovations in the Lounge area, very impressive.... Glad you were able to keep the old flavor but modernize it to match the rest of the hotel. Also glad to see the original fireplace is still there with modern facade and much of the original furniture as well, also with modern fabrics.... Excellent work, thank you to one of my all-time favorite dining spots in Waikiki!

    This venue has been one of my favorite places on Earth. While it was again very nice during my recent visit, I have to admit it has lost some of it’s allure. They used to serve delicious potato chips with their cocktails. Those are gone—and depending on who you talk to, they aren’t coming back. The service was warm and welcoming but instead of gracious and flawless, our server seemed a bit rushed. They did not have one of my favorites—pineapple sorbet. I was told they ran out. They were still out when I returned the next day for lunch. They were also out of key lime cheesecake. They have four desserts on the menu. Two of them weren’t available. Perhaps the pastry chef is still working from home. I called the restaurant and when no one answered I left a message attempting to resurrect a previously cancelled reservation (yes, I had reserved this venue for two different times) but never received a call back. All that said, order the coconut cake. It is sublime. So, while I’m a huge fan of the House Without a Key, they will need to step of their game if they are to continue to live up to their hard earned world class reputation. I’m hoping post-Covid they will get their mojo back.
