Waikiki Beachfront Restaurants

Ruth's Chris Steak House: This is one of the few places in Waikiki where a steak lives up to the talk. The prices can get a little steep, but they are well worth it for the taste. The steaks are cooked to perfection and nowhere else on the island even comes close. The cuts are thick, juicy, and very tender.

Hula Grill: This is one of the top spots for both visitors and locals. It is located upstairs from Duke's Restaurant. It is a more upscale environment.
