My husband and I had a lovely lunch here. The staff, especially the manager, were incredibly friendly and professional. The food did not disappoint either. Definitely a must for a meal in Oahu! The restaurant opens to an ocean view.

We made a last minute decision on Sunday morning to have brunch at Orchids based on recommendations and reviews. We did not have a reservation and my voice to you is this: "If you don't have a reservation DO NOT GO HERE." We were treated VERY impolitely by the hostess staff.. casual cold is how I would best describe our reception. We were seated in a side room with about 10 tables across the lobby from the buffet. Away from the ocean view, away from the piano, away from the food. Basically put into the back yard. As I looked around we were dressed like most of the other guests and there were empty tables throughout our meal. So, we spent $138. for brunch for two people, $64. for four mimosas, a decent gratuity since the server was good enough and had nothing to do with our initial treatment. I mentioned our concern to the manager on duty with a fairly concise and detailed explanation of how we were treated and of our feelings. He spoke not one single word to me in response. All I got was a meaningless nod- equally as dismissive as the two hostesses. As far as food goes, it was just exactly like each and every other high end brunch I've ever had in a similar hotel environment. It was good, it had big variety, and would have been a pleasant experience under better circumstances. I realize we did not have reservations but some communication would have been welcomed about why we were seated in a completely different and remote area. Again, away from the ocean view, away from the food, away from the piano, and essentially not in any way a part of the brunch activities ... yet, at full price. If they didn't want to serve us for whatever reasons, then they could have just said they were booked. They did not. They took our money, stuck us in a back room, and took our money. In summary, we spent right at $260. for brunch and were denied the view and the overall experience that we had expected and hoped for. We just won't ever plan on doing this again and have a very negative feeling towards this hotel in general so it will be OFF the list of options of places to stay on future trips.

An amazing brunch experience, so much variety and options I couldn’t possibly try everything. Complimentary valet is a nice perk. The view entirely depends on which way your table is facing. We lucked into a reservation but you generally need to try and book weeks in advance.

One of my favorite evenings out in Waikiki. We enjoyed a fabulous meal. Very chic. We loved our waiter and even took a photo with him. Hospitality really makes a difference. Beautiful orchids every where add a wonderful touch. Don't forget to leave room for desert!

Excellent service and very good food. We got the spicy scramble, eggs Florentine (perfectly poached!) and finished off with the mochi waffle (chewy delicious) with coconut syrup. The restaurant is well designed with amazing ichibana style flower arrangements through and breezy beach views.
