    Pick this spot to meet up with friends from out of town and I wanted to find a hidden spot in Waikiki. Glad I stumble on Aloha Table. Location is central Waikiki and there was 4-hour validated parking at nearby Hyatt Centric. It was a great, quaint place to catch up with a nice outdoor seating area. Food was good and staff was friendly & attentive. Will have to come back to this spot soon.

    The food and service were excellent. My wife had the fish tacos and I had the Rib Eye Steak with fried onions on top, fried rice and broccolini. Food was very well prepared and presented. Highly recommend this place.
