Being back in Hawaii and eating all my favorite foods. My husband wanted the prime rib hash and he rated it a 9/10. My son got the charcoal pancakes with eggs and bacon. He rated it 8/10. I got the basic breakfast which consist of eggs Portuguese sausage, potatoes and toast. I rate it a 8/10. The service was fantastic and everyone was really nice. The restaurant is very clean but if you sit in the patio, you must be prepared for the pigeons to be around. Fun place and great experience.

GO! The food was incredible. We ended up just ordering 7 appetizers/sides because too many things looked too good not to try. Cocktails were great, decent wine list, great service. The beef fries were some of the best I’ve ever had.

A great place to take a significant partner on a date. There are a variety of food and alcohol choices. With the alcohol beverages the bartender was very heavy handed which was a plus. Our waiter was very knowledgeable on the menu and we ordered their recommendation with no regret. A bit pricey but worth it. Definitely a restaurant I would visit again.

Basalt was a great breakfast choice! Their menu is a delightful blend of unique and delectable dishes. During my visit, I had their charcoal pancakes topped with a heavenly charcoal whipped cream and Guava sauce. A single order of pancakes was large and more than enough for two. The Portuguese sausage eggs Benedict was also an absolute delight for my taste buds. The ambiance at Basalt is modern and casual, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. Although it can get quite busy, I assure you that it is well worth the wait. Basalt is a must-try!

Anything you want is here. It is a Food Market, but with a restaurant that offers local Hawaiian dishes and decadent quality food. Charcoal pancakes are sweet and yummy, always get anything that is "Specials". I got the Pork Hash Bowl which was divine and if it's your birthday, their dessert doesn't disappoint. The waitress was most pleasant and wish we had something similar in NC. Enjoy!

Max thank you for your excellent service.
Will be back and will totally recommend!
A bit pricey but it is worth it for such quality food. Wish it wasn’t connected to a grocery store but we sat outside so it felt nice 👍🏽

The menu is interesting with Hawaiian touches to a typical brunch. We tried the guava mimosa and the Bloody Mary. (The BM has a nice olive, cocktail onion on a swizzle toothpick and a solid kick (horseradish?) That’s a solid drink choice although it comes in a Tom Collins/Highball glass which is tall and thin. We ordered the avocado toast (thick Texas toast cut) slathered with lots of avocado, some spice and pickled? 🍅. Also got the veggie Benedict with spinach and tomato. Loved the soft poached egg that oozed when sliced into (check my photo). The hollandaise had a lemon-y leaning flavor which I appreciated. The home fry potatoes felt overcooked and/or sitting for awhile. Overall it was a good brunch.

Excellent food, mediocre ambiance - the food is fantastic, no question at all. The avocado toast was fresh and filling.
However the outdoor seating faces the back alley that the loading trucks use. This means potentially loud refrigeration trucks idling there for 1+ hours while you eat.

Absolutely Amazing! The Smoked Kurobuta Pork Chop was super flavorful. I also ordered side of scallop from Hokkaido. Others got the prime rib.
Portions were generous and well-priced for the quality and the amount of food you get. We ended up taking to-go baggies. Save room for desert! 😄🤙🏼

We had a lovely first night dinner at Basalt. Our table was on the patio which is just off a little alley. On the recommendation of our server we both ordered the price fix dinner which was perfect. The wine list is a little limited but we found something nice that we enjoyed. Food arrived hot, service was very attentive and friendly. It was a great way to start our trip.

Food was good. Had the salmon eggs Benedict. Staff was friendly. The charcoal pancakes are a popular item to share for the table.

Basalt is a great breakfast place, and service is exceptional. We started with coffee, my partner with a latte, which was great. I had a cappuccino, which was a bit of a mistake, not great (as expected). We also had juices, my partner had a mimosa with pineapple juice which was very yum. I had the orange juice, very good as expected. Food was very good, I had the lox bagel, which I had to assemble myself. This was so good, and added to the enjoyment of the meal, very tasty. My partner had avocado toast with a poached egg, which she was very satisfied with. Overall, highly recommended, we'll be back.

Amazing atmosphere, excellent food and very accessible if you are walking to bar/food hop. The hostess was incredibly kind and ALWAYS ask for the bartender Erik. He was absolutely incredible, drinks were delicious. If you have preferences on specialty drinks, he is your guy. Ask for his personal invention- "Pele's Usual" - It's going to compete in an award winning competition- amazing drink. Erik was one of the most pleasurable and professional bartenders on the islands. This place is family friendly that offers something for everyone. BATHROOMS- ask hostess for the code! Thank you so much for the amazing experience, I will be returning to enjoy more.

This is the best breakfast in Oahu! The coffee was excellent probably one of the best blends I've ever tasted. They were the only breakfast restaurant who could properly cook a over medium egg. And these black pancakes are to die for. Highly recommended!
Katherine Loy
Amazing food and our server Ben T was great! We had the Beef fries to start, wonderful! And for dinner we had the miso pork belly carbonara, Szechuan crispy fried half chicken. So impressed! Will be coming back!

The setting is a little odd, inside the back of a food court, but our seat on the other side of the bar was a decent spot for 2. I was more a fan of the food than my wife, though we both enjoyed the mixed drinks and unique house bread equally. The prices were fair for the quality of food and presentation when compared to similar restaurants nearby.
Our server Matt was excellent. It's been a while since we've had such an attentive and pleasant waiter. I would visit again to try their breakfast menu if we make it back to the island.
Anna Mik
The food is presented perfectly and tastes amazing. The service staff are first class - unobtrusive, efficient, professional and always there just as you need them. Have dined for breakfast and dinner on a number of occasions whilst in Waikiki and would thoroughly recommend dining here. Extra praise to Sharon on the morning staff - your service ensured I came back time and time again for breakfast.
Also... Endless coffee!

Thank you for a wonderful evening! I've been going to Honolulu every year and just tried this fairly new restaurant with my husband yesterday. The food was delicious and service was excellent! It's better than most fine dining restaurants in Honolulu. Fine food with a casual atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
Blair Fraser
This place is phenomenal. One of the best happy hour drink and food menus in Waikiki. If you go, ask for Tray.

Can't say enough about Basalt! Dinning in a friendly and open atmosphere that treats you to culinary delights that titalate your taste buds with visual presentation that takes it to that next level. I go often and hope you find it as pleasurable an experience as I do!
