Kani Ka Pila Grille - Honolulu

The rib sliders and crab wraps were well prepared, fresh and tasty. Very nice open air atmosphere just off the beach. Solid device. Would eat here again. Very nice that the manager called me me in advance of my reservation to advise the weather wasn?t looking good and it would be OK if I didn?t make it. Thankfully, just sprinkles.

I visited this restaurant/bar for the first time Jan 2020. It was a great experience. We had a large work group and a ton of different corporate cards. The server was very nice and accommodating, the food was absolutely delicious, and the live band was great. I visited again Jan 2022 by myself this time and sat at the bar. I was disappointed the menu had changed, I went specifically for the chicken/shrimp nachos but it was no longer available. The bartender Rory wasSUPER nice and told me they?ve changed chefs since I last visited. I ordered the Ahi and Avocado Poke as an appetizer. It was good but the chips that came with it were blah. I had the Fish Sandwich for dinner. I was surprised anddisappointed it was beer battered. It tasted okay. Not sure I would go back.

Absolutely loved the food here. DAMN. Beyond burger was on point, salad was delicious with some swordfish on top. The best of the best was the pineapple crème brûlée ???????????? Highly recommend. I also only speak on this from a takeout perspective, but the staff was incredibly friendly and kind!

Service was slow, from food to check and the food lacked pizzazz. I had the Kalua pork which was tasty, but the dish was lacking. My husband had the pork chop which was tasty. The best part of dinner was the music. I don’t think I would give up the gorgeous Hawaiian sunsets for the ambiance again. Time your meal for before or after the sunset, unless it is raining

This was a real 5* dining experience. The food was absolutely wonderful (be warned though the portions are huge). The servers were super friendly and helpful. Honestly, they couldn’t do enough for us. Finally the music was great too. The evening we were there Kala’e Camarillo was performing and his beautiful songs made for a fantastic atmosphere.
