    I had a nice drink and a good time here watching the Miss Hawai'i 2024 performing Hula dance here with the live music. It was a nice and cozy experience at the bar as a visitor - not hotel guest. I did not have to wait when I arrive (at 8PM). The drink was 25 with tax so not too bad. Very relaxing atmosphere - except it was a bit too dark at the garden. It could be a bit brighter to increase the readability of the menu and to record the performance. Overall, it was worth the time and money spent here. Friendly staff and good experience. I would go back with friends or family. It is also by the ocean so if you come early, you would be able to get nice shots of the sunset!

    House without a Key kicked off my dining experience during my stay in Honolulu. Boy did they set the bar. Beautiful location on the beach, set for beautiful sunsets. The host sat us right where the sun would be seen and that was special. Our server Michelle was sweet and attentive to our questions and needs, as we were first timers. The food was phenomenal and the live entertainment was the icing on the cake. I do wish I would have ordered cake for my desert, but 10/10 for the entire experience.
