Had the filet mignon which was slightly undercooked for my liking. Although juicy and tender, it was lacking in flavour. The lobster bisque as an appetiser was so tasty, that I felt like licking the bowl. I certainly could overdose on it, it was wonderful. Overall it's an elegant place in a not so elegant area of Honolulu, but still... More

We took my fetching wife's mother to Hy's Steak house for Mother's day as they offered a fixed menu that any mother would love. Both my wife and her mother ordered the Kiawe Broiled lamb Chops. I had the 10oz Prime Rib. A choice of stuffed mushrooms or salad or lobster bisque were offered for the first course. When the... More

Just returned home from an early Mother's Day dinner tonight with the family. They have a great selection of steaks on their menu as well as other entrees. It is pricey like any other high end steak restaurant, but the starch and cooked vegetables are included. Their warm spinach salad is awesome although there's a minimum of 2 to order... More

Went last night to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary, as we do every year we can. As usual, service was impeccable! However, the food and it's preparation seems to be in decline. Filet Mignon with Madagascar Peppercorn Sauce was very sub-par. Ordered medium rare and got medium well. The sauce was dried, sticky and flavorless. Rack of Lamb, although cooked as... More

A little hard to find a couple of blocks off the beach. Fine dining steakhouse with formal feel for Honolulu. We dined early and felt a little rushed. It was full when we left on a Thursday night. Our steaks were cooked perfectly to order.

Our group of 6 adults had a wonderful dinner here in January 2013. First i would like to praise the service. Troy and Kirby took great care of us. Sitting on the lower level is entertaining as we were able to watch our steaks being prepared. The steaks were done excellently to everyone's requests, great flavours, and good portions. I... More

This place was OK-plus. I can't fairly rate the quality of Hawaiian steakhouses since I don't live in Hawaii, but this was solid. Good service at the table, aloof at the front desk. Good, well prepared, under seasoned prime beef (salt shaker was handy), dry mashed potatoes, great veggies and shellfish. Reasonably priced wine list. My Tanqueray 10 martini was... More

I can't imagine where the folks that review this Hy's as great, generally eat. For a $200 dinner for two people it is very far south of good never mind achieving the excellence that it should maintain in line with true Hy's tradition. That said, only when I got home did I do some research and find that all the... More
