Restaurants near Island Colony 2009

We come to Wolfgang’s every visit to Waikiki, for breakfast and dinner. Food and service are consistently great!

Nothing beats the view if you are fortunate enough to get a table by the edge facing the ocean. We reserved our table on thanksgiving day in time to see the sun go down and a sunset over the ocean in Hawaii is very hard to beat. It does indeed create memories. The food was ok. But honestly the service was great and the atmosphere was what it was all about. Come here for that if not for anything else.

Last night, I had an exceptional dining experience at Ruth’s Chris in Hawaii. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and professional. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. The steaks were cooked to perfection, with the signature sizzle that makes Ruth’s Chris stand out. The sides and desserts were equally delicious, making the entire meal unforgettable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special night out or just treating yourself to a top-tier meal. If you’re in Hawaii, I can’t recommend this location enough. It’s a must-visit for steak lovers or anyone seeking a high-quality dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

The restaurant was able to accommodate our last-minute reservation change on the day, which we really appreciated. All the staff were friendly, and we received excellent service. Every dish we tried was delicious. The Tomahawk steak was tender, perfectly cooked, and at 1,600g, it was more than enough for the four of us to share. The bone marrow ($20) was also tasty, but the portion was surprisingly small, as it came with only half a bone, leaving us with just about a teaspoon of marrow. Considering the price, it felt a bit underwhelming—we would have expected at least a full bone. I’ll be back next time we are here.

Covered inside seating next to open air views of Waikiki Kalakaua Ave made for a nice setting as you watch the activity below from the 2nd floor venue. We were seated promptly, server attended very quickly with drinks and dinner menus. We had as much time as we needed to look over both menus and placed an order for two Grey Goose and Blue Cheese stuffed Olive Martini's first, then a bit later for our dinner selections. Had seafood entrees and all were very good! I do not give specific dish ratings as everyone's taste is completely different. Anyway this is a great place for some nice ambiance, decent food, great service at a reasonable price for Waikiki.
