“Great view of both the beach and the diamond head. The seafood Greek salad was good. The taco from the lunch menu looks great but wasn't to our taste. Staffs are very nice and helpful. Overall it's great to sit and sip here for an hour or two, and I will be happy to come back again.” - Xiao S., Yelp Review


“Excellent food and ambiance. The best meal we had in Oahu by far. Take the tip and leave the Hilton next door for fine dining at the Ilikai - Pesca. I had the Greek Salad and Grilled Octopus, both amazing. My dining partners shared the Beet Salad and each had the swordfish special — excellent” - OpenTable Diner


“We sat at the bar for Happy hour which lasts basically ALL day into the night! I tried the basil gimlet. It was good and " balanced" as the bartender promised, but still kinda sweet for my palate. The HH food offerings were good. Fresh oysters ( wish there were 4 instead of 3- or but per piece). The charcuterie platter was pretty nice and great flavors! The grilled octopus with polenta was satisfying and the Greek salad was fresh- tomatoes were perfect! Just wished there was a touch more feta. Will come again for dinner.” - Shiela K., Yelp Review


“This restaurant is at the top of the Ilikai Resort, so the view plus ambiance is amazing!!.. We ordered the fixed lunch menu that includes a fresh Greek salad, fish chowder, delicately prepared Japanese flounder, and dessert, which was a red velvet cake served with creme cheese. I also love freshly brewed Iced tea, so I enjoyed my Shangri-la beverage. Our server was so gracious and on top of her customer care. Devon made sure we were happy and got all we needed to enjoy the meal and this view from The Top! The Ilikai overlooks Waikiki and Kewalo Basin, so the views of water are unsurpassed. Very spectacular and beautiful. This is the perfect place for lunch with friends or business and a romantic dinner for a memorable experience.” - Cindy G., Yelp Review


“Staycation at the Ilikai Hotel! Wanted to check out this newly opened restaurant, formerly Sarento!
The view is still mesmerizing! Ordered family style, rib eye steak, Greek
