Be sure to get there early for Happy Hour from 5pm. You can eat outside on the large balcony area. We took the escalators up a level and sat at the bar. Happy Hour food and prices were reasonably priced. It's definitely worth ticking it off of things to do in Oahu. Service was very good with the bar staff. Worth a visit for at least Happy Hour.

Very easy to make a reservation, it's odd to get up to, our table was ready which was nice instead of waiting. The sun is a bit much at 630pm so 7 would have been better. The staff is super friendly and not rude or arrogant like most fancy establishments. The beer selection leaves a bit to be desired. If you're looking for a restaurant with a sunset, this is not it. There are to many buildings hiding it and that was our mistake. They bring you silverware based on what your next course is and you get new silverware for each which is nice. We never ran out of water. The view is very nice minus the tall buildings but that's fine. Here's the views, my dinner and desert

Out of 6 dishes basically two were absolutely amazing. The scallops and the New York steak. The $200 surf and turf was crazy overpriced for what you got. The view was incredible. I did feel a little dizzy at some point if I looked outside too much

My wife and I loved it! We went on a Saturday evening with reservations. The table settings are very intimate perfect for a date. The decor is very modern. Waitress was very polite and helpful with food suggestions. The food tasted wonderful.

This was a nice surprise. Last visit two years ago the food was "okay" They have certainly stepped up their game! Pork chop was outstanding and the short ribs rocked! Started with the fried goat cheese caprese salad which was tasty! Duck pizza was a hit too. Now... The view of course can not be compared. Slow, slow and I mean slow rotation as you dine allows you to see Waikiki from above. Make sure you have a reservation!

Fun place. Didn’t have a reservation but they were still able to sit us at the bar just after sunset. Happy Hour ran till 9 and we ended up sitting through 2 rotations of the bar. Ya don’t realize it’s really moving until ya look up and realize you are in a completely different place. The service was good and the bartenders were appropriately sophisticated. Good place to grab a fancy drink.

The streaks and seafood are amazing. The appetizers are tasty but very small servings. Their steaks are to die for and also be sure t ok try the truffle butter mash. A bit expensive bit an amazing view and lively food. Be sure to give them a try.

Cool place to dine, rotating restaurant beautiful views, should've booked earlier so we had time to choose from menu and then take in the sunset views. Good meal and server was attentive. Great way for my family to start their first visit in Hawaii!
