"A Gem for Family Celebrations"

“If you want an exquisite experience while visiting Waikiki, have lunch or dinner at PESCA. The views are breathtaking from atop the Ilikai Hotel. But make reservations in advance to get a table overlooking the ocean.

We had lunch for my daughter's birthday. We booked late and tables were full. But when we arrived, the hostess said a table had opened by the ocean. It was great she remembered what we wanted. The dining room is upscale and lovely, tables covered with crisp white tablecloths.

We ordered from the lunch menu, which are small portions, perfect for a light lunch. Food came out quickly, even though they were full. Our server was sweet and attentive.

The Roasted Shrimp Orzo Pasta is served cold. The orzo is tossed in a lemony vinaigrette. The shrimp are large and fresh. I loved this dish and the portion was perfect.” - Katherine A. (yelp.com)

“Top Notch Dining on Top of the Ilikai Hotel”

“We celebrated my father in law’s birthday with dinner at Pesca. From the very start everything was perfect. Our waitress gave us a tour of the fresh fish display and was very knowledgeable on the types of fish and various ways to prepare them. We chose the Japanese snapper and bought one for sashimi and the other cooked in salt. Both were excellent and went well with the Greek white wine that was on the happy hour list for only $10 per glass. All of the side dishes were delicious and we were glad we went with the recommendation of garlic rice. The desserts and view were another reason we had such an amazing meal. As a former chef and current freelance travel and food writer, I can say this is one fine dining experience not too miss in Oahu.” - Kurt J (tripadvisor.com)

“Amazing service and views--can even have a wedding!”

“Had a family meal and it was wonderful! The service was outstanding and they took great care of a table of seven. The drinks were amazing! We were all treated extra special no matter the request for so many. The view is incredible and I highly suggest making a stop for just that. The interior design is so on trend and was a feast for eyes to look around at the details. No vegan options, so just have to ask to have something altered or made. Hope they can offer a few items or have an "*" so it can be adjusted to meet everyone's needs. The manager or owner greeted us and one of the servers showed me the gorgeous space for weddings with another amazing view. Highly recommend this place!” - Aymster (tripadvisor.com)

“A Memorable Family Feast”

“My family enjoyed this restaurant. $$$$$ . It was a special occasion to spend with the 'ohana. Family of 10. Three of us picked out a fish and we chose to have 4 serving dishes made from Mikan-Madai and the Dover was deep fried with a special sauce on the side by request and the Branzino was prepared well . Being local, we asked for the head of the Madai because the eyes are a delicacy and the fishermen in the fam like all the goodies inside. Don't know if they would have served it but we made sure to request it.

Also had two seafood towers of oysters (yummy), lobster (1 small body with 2 claws), poke, sashimi. Can't remember all items as we all shared two towers but I remember the standard standouts. Can't beat good quality seafood.

Pupus- Matriarch ordered all kinds and whatever we had, it was all delish. I can't say i did not like any appetizer ordered. The Baba Ganoush was really delish.

Dessert- honestly, the selection was not what I expected. Cheesecake, red velvet cake, and fruit custard tart were okay. Surprisingly, not a creative dessert menu. Hate to say it, but skip dessert.

You do not need to purchase any fish as we did, bit its a great way to try these special fish especially the Madai. Seriously, tangerines?! You'll know what I mean if you go and find out for yourself. We loved our experience at Pesca! Excellent service! And its okay to get down and dirty with your fingers! We local das why.” - leimomi k.

“A Perfect 50th Birthday Breakfast”

“I was celebrating my 50th birthday with my wife and son in Waikiki and was pleasantly surprised when we had breakfast at Pesca! The food was delicious and the service was excellent, thanks to Kevin and Hap. The ambiance was amazing and refreshing with views to remember. Great place to be and to make lasting memories.” - Myint W. (yelp.com)

“Fantastic Family Meal”

“Fantastic family meal at Pesca this summer while on vacation in Waikiki. My wife ordered a whole fish cooked two ways (sashimi and sautéed) and I ordered the filet mignon, both were prepared to perfection and some of the best fish and steak we've ever had on Waikiki. The views were also spectacular! Fresh Whole Opakapaka & Filet Mignon! Definitely headed back here again soon.” - Rich L. (yelp.com)
