   We were running late for our reservation so we called the restaurant to let them know & the manager said “We’ll try and hold your table.” Wasn’t warm and reassuring - we almost cancelled and didn’t come in. When we finally got to the restaurant, there were SO many empty tables. You would think they want people to come in! Our server and his assistant made up for the not-so-great intro though. Food was good but the views is what makes this restaurant!

   Waited 40 min after our reservation time to be seated. Almost no fishes left to choose from. Took far too long time to be able to order. Attitude not good! Failed completely

   We picked up our daughter from UHM as she finished her first year. What a special treat to fabulous fresh fish, beautiful presentation, and incredible views.

   We went for mothers Day. My son ordered fish tacos ( which were the best of the meals ) and we ordered the 3 course lunch for $95. 1st course was decent ( although they had to charge another $5 for the smoked salmon ). The main was just a nice piece of fish on the plate, but not with any vegetables around it which is not as good to eat and not good value for $. Desserts were very plain, two different cakes with two different kinds of frosting. Not bad but definitely not worth $95 and I have lived in hawaii for 33 years and done a lot of fine dining. We also weren't pleased that they took a long time for the mains esp our and brought our sons meal out about 15 minutes before ours.

    What a find - and what a view! We were pleasantly surprised to find that the former Top of the I is now Pesca. Nice place, nice people, great food. We went for breakfast and will try dinner next time.

    Kind of a clown show. Had 5 people and was sat at 2 separate tables for 4. Asked to be moved and servers started to move us to a table for 5, which 2 people were seated at as we started to walk over. Was taken to another table that only fit 4. Then was taken to a table for 5 but no waters given, had to ask. Saw multiple tables where one person in the party did not receive their food until everyone else was almost done. Had a bunch of scales in my fish patty. Poached eggs were over cooked and yolk was hard. Managers not addressing any of the issues. Obvious disorganization between hostess, servers, kitchen, managers.

    Extremely disappointing. After an hour and a half of waiting, we decided to cut our losses. We had received one single appetizer and we were still waiting on our drinks (90 minutes!) and remaining 4 items of our order. We informed a young staff member that we were done waiting. He was very helpful despite being a new employee. Neither the manager nor our actual waiter came out to handle the situation- they sent back the young and new employee to be the face of the rest of the interaction. The single appetizer we received in those 90 minutes (the oysters) were good.

    Excellent atmosphere, great service and good fish. Suggest to go earlier the 8pm for the daylight view and greater range of fresh fish.

    the waiter was excellent, but I can't say the same about the food, we didn't like it; I asked for a surprise dessert for my husband's birthday and they never brought it. I really wouldn't recommend it.

    It was absolutely the most amazing service that I have ever experienced in fine dining. I went before many times when it was sergios--- nothing compares to Pesca. Honestly the food was very good but I promise the service is what will bring us back again and again. What an absolutely amazing presentation from the time we sat down until the time we left. Thank you so much for making our evening beautiful and unforgettable..

    So, the ride up to the restaurant was a bit uncomfortable. Hot and humid as it is a glass elevator with sun glaring. Once the door opens you are transported to an amazing place. Bright, modern and very welcoming. After an amazing dinner, we all left raving about the experience and planned our return. Leo is a most attentive and knowledgeable server. He definitely made the entire experience a level above an already great experience. Food preparation from cocktails to dessert were nothing short of delicious!

    We decided to do a night out together and made reservations at the new Pesca restaurant at the top of the Ilikai. I cannot write this review from the perspective of going out for dinner, because that would diminish all that is Pesca. Pesca is a transcendental adventure through the art of the culinary world. You are greeted with sprawling views of the Waikiki skyline, as your hostess brings you past a veritable selection of the best fish this planet has to offer, all in an open forum. Our waitress was quite simply, a master of her craft. Hailing from Mongolia, she was the highlight of our evening, and her knowledge of the food, the various cooking processes we could request, along with essential pairings of wine and other accoutrements for each dish was the pinnacle of perfection. And then the food came out. There are not enough stars to be given for the flavor profiles, cooking execution, timing of our meals…etc. Pesca had done what no restaurant in Hawaii in all of our years of visiting has done. From start to finish, flawless display of cooking excellence and perfect ambience. 5+ stars!

    It's rare to find a restaurant with awesome views and good food. Pesca has both. We loved the fresh fish display and the side dishes. The waitstaff was excellent and knew the wine list well.

    atmosphere is very nice , wonderful view, service is perfect, food is great ! Would absolutely return here again, the only downside was they were out of lobster, had to downgrade to jumbo shrimp. Which was a surprise for such a nice place.

    We had previously experienced Happy Hour at Pesca, celebrating our son’s birthday in January. The service, drinks & appetizers were all great and the price point was good for the amazing views, etc. We decided to try Pesca for dinner on this trip and were a bit shellshocked by the prices on the dinner menu. Our final bill was almost $700 for 4 adults, including tip. The soup of the day, cream of mushroom, was not hot enough and had uncooked flour lumps, etc.. The veggie tower appetizer was also below average. The drinks were generously sized, although pricey (beware of accidentally ordering the $60 margarita!). The real stinger is that all of the fish entrees force you to buy whatever weight they are whole (bones they made up for them in a complimentary dessert, etc. Final verdict: If you’re not price sensitive, give them a try for dinner at sunset so you get the full impact of the ambiance and be aware that you need HALF the amount of fish they recommend! 5 stars for the Happy Hour menu & pricing, 3 1/2 for the dinner experience.

    Very nice setting, great views. Staff was super polite although a bit disorganized, but not enough to be an issue. The seafood platter was excellent, the prime rib eye steak was tasty but closer to medium than medium rare. The presentation of the steak was quite boring though, just kind of thrown on a plate without any garnish to make it look more appealing.

    The server Devin totally ignored us but served other table customers, we have to pour the wine by ourselves as he did not come back to our table, this is not what we're expected in such a high class restaurant.

    Excellent all around with a stunning view of Waikiki. We had oysters, quinoa salad, lamb chops and the wagyu filet mignon. Complemented by Silver Oak CS. Everything was perfectly cooked, the service was friendly and prompt, and overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

    Went there for our anniversary was asked what’s the occasion when I booked our dinner then again by the hostess when we were checked in server’s doesn’t know about it until we mentioned (not asked) if they can do special dessert…so what’s the use of being asked before dinner when it won’t be acknowledged by servers much less know about it??!! We were not explained what’s popular there nor unique experience that we can enjoy We asked about fish selections & how it can be prepared we were told it can fried, grilled, or steamed…sounds nothing special So we opted to have our usual dinner picks..streak & crab Then we saw tables next to us having great presentations on their fish…table side!! We were not given that option!! We had to ask what was that presentation is called Was disappointed we haven’t got to try Acqua Pazza and be felt special on our Anniversary that night😞
