Our dining experience would have been more enjoyable if it wasn't so noisy. There was a large group in area near bar that got louder and louder as the night went on. I couldn't hear most of what my guest said. But the butterfish, butternut squash soup and tiramisu dessert were good.

The food and service were excellent! Sheri greeted us warmly and had a great way about her! There was a live musician playing which was a nice surprise. This is a place for foodies! Each menu selection which arrived was off the charts delicious! This restaurant deserves 5 stars but the only thing holding it back to be one of the best in Waikiki is the ambience. If they only changed the carpet, it would make a huge difference. Cozy it up a bit. A restaurant designer could probably make a couple of inexpensive changes and make a huge difference. Would highly recommend Arden Waikiki for its food and service.

'Twas a few days before Christmas and so to no one's surprise, Arden Waikiki was crowded and getting a reservation was a delightful prize. Ho! Ho! Ho! The Prix Fixe menu was what we ordered and the Butternut Squash Soup, which was the starter, was to die for. It was perfect! Hubby and I both ordered the miso butterfish as our main entree. The fish was done just right, but the miso sauce was a bit thin and weak. The sides: a wild rice ball, and a parsnip mash were good, but there could have been better sides to go with the dish. The dessert, a mocha and chestnut trifle, was very good but not quite excellent. Still, it was a very nice repast. Merry Christmas, everyone!

This place is great, the food was outstanding, you must try the AHI steak. Overall, it is for sure a perfect score because of the quality of the food, however the service at the beggining was slow to start, drinks must be serve a tad quicker.
