I titled this review by its biggest surprise to me. I like to visit buffets when I travel, and my wife and I picked Orchids for its Sunday brunch becuase we wanted something romantic and relaxing after church Sunday morning. The service was outstanding. It was highly attentive, yet it seemed to melt into the background. At no time did... more

We had a large group of colleagues from a conference at two tables at Orchids. The setting along Waikiki Beach and the close ocean view are spectacular. A large catamaran tied up at the nearby dock during the evening to come to the restaurant. The food and drinks were good. One of our waiters was a bit surly and bored,... more

yes the breakfast is good but if you're not going to eat like a pig, go during the week, order a la carte and get breakfast with the view which is why you are going there and get it cheaper. $55 for brunch is too much for me. more

I always get the Onaga and am always amazed at just how good it is. This time I also tried the King Crab and Won Ton appetizer - which was excellent. I've also had the good fortune... more

Loved this restaurant. Went for lunch and dinner and both meals were fantastic. The views of the sunset and the sounds of Hawaiian music in the background make for a very special setting. Their seafood curry is one of the best I've ever had and the risotto was also wonderful (don't take them off the menu!). The waitstaff were very... more
