haleiwa joe's at haiku gardens

absolutly a gem!! make this a definate stop on the winward side of the island. the fishmonger soup was orgasmic and the black and blue ahi app was so light and dellicate. the baked fiah was perfect and flaky. this place rocks. will be back tomorrow for the mothers day brunch!

great location in a small surf town, food were aimed more towards the asian market so make sure you read the menu carefully because its not what it seems. the wording implies it’s something else when it’s not, so prepare for that. staff were great and friendly though and the area around the seating was very picturesque

this place really,really needs to start taking reservations. also, if you want come in for evening pupus and drinks, you have to hunt down your own seating & the staff all but ignores you. that said, thier brunch is great, veg friendly but their dinner is not. they seriously need to add a vegetarian entree to thier menu.

great atmosphere. food was very fresh and the service extremely quick. the quality of the food, venue and very good prices makes it a easy recommendation!

really enjoyed the pesto salmon for dinner here. very moist, savory and perfectly cooked.

so disappointed. disappointing dinner for our anniversary celebration, pork chop dry & hard to cut, prime rib tasted good but the outrageous size if the portion is wasteful & certainly not a healthy portion size. go & have a drink & enjoy the view (our wedding was in the haiku garden 20 years ago) but have your meal someplace else.

the view is really nice. they have a pond and a garden where you can walk around too. good big space and the staff are very friendly. good for dates.

we were not sure to pick this one or to go to one of the fancy restaurants in waikiki. we are so glad we took this one! not as touristic as waikiki. we needed to wait 1.5 hour before we had a table, but that was no problem. we could wait in the cocktail lounge and the view there is amazing. the service was good and not pushy as in some other restaurants. my friend had fish and i had the aged hand cut new york. both were delicious. prices are on the higher side but you also get a good plate of nicely grilled meet and fish. would definitely go here again if we visit oahu.

haleiwa joe's is one of those restaurants that truly excels in bringing you the best quality dishes, leaving no room for errors. with all the dishes we ordered, there wasn't one item we didn't enjoy because the presentations and flavours were bold, creative and phenomenal.

average service. beautiful view. the sticky ribs were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. the grilled fish of the day was pretty good. the chicken was undercooked and had to be sent back. when it was returned, it was just okay. the baked potato was soft, creamy, and delicious.

great food and atmosphere. we have eaten here multiple times and never found a bad item on the menu. the desserts are absolutely amazing! plan on a bit of a wait as there is always a line but well worth the wait.

the desserts are to die for. i have been here multiple times. i love the desserts, so make sure you save some room. really great atmosphere and pretty gardens on the outside. you won't be disappointed. my grandparents always took us here and i've loved it since i was 13. awesome place.

we had a great experience! our sever mike was excellent. had the fish of the day, opah! it was delicious. great atmosphere, quick and friendly service. great seafood!

we've been here a few times already & each time has been fine. last night, service seemed a little slow considering she only had 3 tables. everyone liked their food (but didn't love it). garlic bread-really good. fried calamari-nothing to write home about. filet mignon-good flavor but small. pork chops-really good. ny strip-really good, good size portion. i had the "spicy" shrimp satay. it had no spice at all. the shrimp were really difficult to pull off the skewers & the pesto was very bland-seemed it just needed salt & pepper added to it. waitress was nice just very slow at bringing our drinks & our check back once we gave her payment. hopefully things will be better next time.

i had the ginger peanut chicken salad which was way overpriced for the flavor. my husband had the salmon which was delicious but a very small portion overall including his sides. for a pricier restaurant, it had a neat ambiance but was loud. server was nice.

for a great sunday brunch at very reasonable prices($23.99) you can't beat the haiku gardens! we were sad when we heard the turtle bay resort no longer had a brunch but haleiwa joe's made up for it.
