Food and service was amazing. Location is mediocre with outside deck being basically a parking lot, but the food and friendly vibe overcome that. “Lost at Sea” cocktail was so delicious (apparently lime + nutmeg is yummy) and the lamb chops tapas were our favorite. The cheesecake (purple sweet potato) was really unique and scrumptious. We will be back…

About the restaurant

Giovedi, helmed by Chef Bao Tran, offers a seamless fusion of Italian culinary technique and pan-Asian flavors. The lively atmosphere of our dining room inside infuses energy into every meal, while the charming patio offers a tranquil escape in the heart of Chinatown, Honolulu. Indulge in our Prosciutto San Daniele, featuring sliced prosciutto paired with a sesame donut—a playful nod to both gnocco fritto and bánh tiêu—served with giardiniera pickles. This creative fusion showcases how our cuisine harmoniously combines familiar flavors, blending tradition with originality. At Giovedi, we provide more than just a meal—it’s an experience. With a welcoming ambiance, thoughtful service, and creative cocktails, we ensure every guest feels like part of our Thursday night dinners in our home that inspired it all.

About the restaurant

We invite you to join us at Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi at Turtle Bay Resort where Hawaii’s royalty swam and relaxed with the turtles. With sweeping views accentuated by two stunning reef points as a backdrop, Beach House guests will dine like royalty in an open- air pavilion that offers an authentic sense of place.

The concept and design for the 140-seat open–air restaurant is a reflection of Yamaguchi's love for white sandy beaches and the ocean. Roy has fond memories of potluck gatherings on the beach with a variety of his family’s favorite dishes- a memory he hopes to create for you at the Beach House.

So please come and indulge in one of our spectacular hand-crafted cocktails or choose from a selection of ice-cold local beers while you discover the fresh ingredients and outstanding seafood, expertly prepared by our local chefs.

Hidden in plain sight, and nestled above vibrant Kuhio Avenue is Hideout at The Laylow Autograph Collection Hotel. The Lush greenery, mid-century inspired woodwork, and vibrant vibe instantly sets the tone for this progressive Modern Hapa Hawaiian cuisine and beverage venue. All that the Hawaiian Islands have to offer take center stage morning and night for hotel guest and locals to enjoy for any occasion. The moment you ascend from street level the Hideout and it’s relaxed vibe, allow you to escape the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and enjoy small plates, curated cocktails, great live music, and a perfect place to catch your breath any time of day.

Been coming to hideout for 3 years now every time my wife and I visit Oahu and it never disappoints. The Hamajang Board is a must order. The pork belly Brussels are definitely my favorite and my wife ranks the ahi sashimi with some of the best she’s had. Vibe is always on point as well. Theres plenty of great food around Waikiki but many places in the area are lacking in this department so it definitely sets the hideout apart. Every live music act or DJ I’ve seen there have been great. We’ll keep coming back.

Nice location. Service seemed way too high strung for how slow they were but we had a big group and they did their best to accommodate. Ambiance and food is just incredible
