Are you kidding me, this place is flat out the best place to watch the sunset! Just bring your wallet.

Awesome sunset views, delicious food, great service and bartenders! All this in a historic location and under a magnificent banyan tree, wonderful place to hear Hawaiian music and watch hula performed.
There were not enough stars for the atmosphere nor for our server, Ken. He gave us wonderful suggestions. Ken was prompt and kept our glasses full. We ordered the garlic shrimp, steak, Poke bowl and mushroom poke. The portions were generous. The sauces were minimalist but perfect to portion. The food came extremely quick. The beach dining at sunset could not have been better. The cost was reasonable for the area. The only challenge, we were too full to try the desserts. Might need to make a stop again soon for some of that banana nut bread pudding!
It's a beautiful view and a nice area, we ate by the pool, but the pupu platter was really not good and the drinks didn't have much alcohol for the money. Super pricey place for very mediocre food, you're paying for the view of the ocean or the ease of being served by the pool.
Service was great though and the atmosphere is nice filled with happy vacationers.
Fantastic setting for breakfast, lunch or dinner or just a casual drink by the beach. Great service and food. We went for a lunch. You don’t have to stay at the Moana Surfrider to book a table.
Such an amazing location! They are very busy, but so worth visiting! The views are absolutely incredible! Right when we sat down, we were helped right away! They lady was so sweet and on top of her game! Always checking in on us, and would fill our waters right away! The menu itself had a wide variety of food and everything we tried was delicious! It is a bit pricey but given the views and location, worth it!! We were visiting during sunset and it was beautiful! Definitely recommend!!
Located just steps from the beach, Beach Bar offers a good view of the shoreline and a refreshing ocean breeze of Waikiki beach.
During our visit, we were lucky to secure the last patio table right in front of the beach. We sampled the Pupu Sampler and Surfrider Poke Bowl, both showcasing fresh local Ahi. The Poke Bowl had a delightful crunchy texture from the wasabi peas and onions, offering a nice contrast to the silky Ahi. The Ahi in the Pupu Sampler also shined. However, the chili crunch edamame on the plate was just average, with the chili crisp not adding much to the edamame's mild flavor. The sampler still redeemed itself with the coconut tamarind chicken wings. Although the tamarind seasoning was slightly heavy-handed, it paired brilliantly with our tropical cocktails.
Overall, a solid spot for sipping cocktails and enjoying light bites while soaking in the stunning beach view.
Must go! Tristan was an excellent server. He was helpful when picking out drinks and food and provided a friendly experience. The bad: there was someone at a table smoking nearby and it was annoying. There was a patron watching political videos at full volume on his laptop during Johnny Valentine’s Monday night performance. All of this aside, we still had a great time! The drink menu is excellent. I fully enjoyed the blended/frozen options.
Our local friends booked in advance. We were in the lobby end so we were able to take full advantage of the entertainment after dinner. Our ribs were tasty and very tender. The brussel sprouts were overcooked and dry which was a bit disappointing. Overall the food was good and our waiter was able to get our friends a Caesar Salad made even though it is not on the menu. The entertainer was exceptional. His music had people dancing all over the foyer area and even up the stairs. Eclectic age group and dress styles from beachwear to evening gowns. Certainly a people watcher's paradise.
Such beautiful views of the sunset, Great service too and absolutely love the dole whip highly recommend and can't wait to go back.
We came here for drinks on a Tuesday night, so cannot comment on the food.
It took some time to get the attention of the server to get us a table, and took a long time for the server to bring menus, then take our order again. It was a decently busy, weekday night.
The location is beautiful and we were able to watch the sun set.
Live music and out door seating made it a enjoyable experience. Food came in large portions.
