    My wife and I had a really fun time at Pint and Jigger! They have incredible high quality cocktails and an extensive whisky selection, alongside a well curated beer list. The atmosphere is fun and low pressure. Our server was awesome, made sure to confirm my wife’s allergies and overall just took great care of us. A fun restaurant with good vibes.

    Afternoon tea at the Kahala was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. The setting is iconic old Hawaii and luxurious, the staff were very friendly and efficient, the tea service was excellent with a wide range of mini desserts and amazing scones. The tea selection was unique and fun, especially the Kahala 60th anniversary blue tea and the 1795. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a calm afternoon out in Waikiki, might not be great for small children, but it is good for a group, just make sure you make reservations in advance.
