 Dinner show in Waikiki |
120 Kaiulani Avenue (Sheraton Princess Kaiulani) Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 922 5811 http://www.princess-kaiulani.c... |
The days of early Hawai'i and the South Pacific are revisited in this wonderful show. It begins with legends, chants and hulas, and then progresses to the Pan Am Clipper times of the 30s and finally the pop culture and surfer-oriented 50s. Tihati Productions pulls out all the special-effects nightly in the Sheraton's large Ainahau Showroom. The musical sound track is dynamic, the singers and dancers practiced and delightful. Dinner is at 5:15p (USD62) and cocktail seating (USD32) at 6p. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fun, personable beach luau |
91119 Olai Street (Exit #1) Honolulu, HI 96707 United States +1 808 949 6626 http://www.germainesluau.com/ |
The "Aloha Spirit" is very much in evidence at this friendly, entertaining luau. On Germaine's strip of beach, guests can dance the hula, sip free-flowing Mai Tais and Blue Hawaiians, and stuff themselves on a sumptuous buffet of Hawaiian and American favorites. At the dinner show, performers from varied South Pacific islands entertain the crowd with displays of skill and dexterity. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Polynesian pageant, prime rib buffet |
410 Atkinson Drive (on the Ala Moana Hotel grounds) Honolulu, HI 96814-4722 United States +1 808 941 5205 http://www.alamoanahotel.com/ |
The rhythm and the magic of old Polynesia are brought back to life with a bang in this fast-paced floor show. Brave fire dancers, sensual hula dancers and spectacularly-garbed ensemble performers are only a few of the things you'll see. The show is performed in the Ala Moana Hotel. The dinner consists of a 15-item buffet with a main course of prime rib. The cocktail show is a less expensive option. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fantasy island |
50 Sand Island Access Road Honolulu, HI 96819 United States +1 808 848 2800 |
A South Seas "fantasy island" in an almost impossible to find location near the airport, this local watering hole is a throwback to the Trader Vic's days. The food is standard: salads, burgers, Chicken Parmigiana and the like. The decor is the draw: a tacky mishmash of fishnet, glass floats and shell chandeliers adorns the sprawling room. A reed fence is all that separates you from the ocean, and a huge live tree grows in the middle of it all. If the lounge music doesn't make you feel misty-eyed, the smoke will.

 More than one kind of magic... |
2424 Kalakaua Avenue (Hyatt Regency Waikiki) Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 923 1234 |
The Hyatt Regency Waikiki became creative when planning this Asian restaurant. In addition to offering delicious, fresh cuisine, it also offers a live magic show to entertain restaurant patrons. It's difficult to know which show to watch when you eat here. You can supervise the chefs as they prepare your meal, or you can enjoy the magician's sleight-of-hand. If none of it appeals to you, meditate on the view of the serene tropical gardens. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Buffet or a la carte |
2255 Kalakaua Avenue Sheraton Waikiki Honolulu, HI 96815-2515 United States +1 808 922 4422 http://www.sheraton-waikiki.co... |
Upscale buffet dining can be enjoyed in this Sheraton Waikiki restaurant. The dining area is large and casually elegant, featuring views of the ocean through full-length glass windows. There is no dress code to speak of; people come here before or after a day at the beach. Dine by the sea in casual splendor. Choose between a la carte items or a sumptuous buffet. There is a different theme every night. The popular Lobster Buffet is available on Saturdays. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of Honolulu's best |
Reservations Office: 1860 Ala Moana Boulevard Suite 401 Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 842 7911 http://www.paradisecovehawaii.com |
While the competition for "Best Luau" is tough in the Hawaiian Islands, this spectacular event might deserve the title. It takes place on 12 acres of gorgeous beachfront property in Western O'ahu. Guests are shuttled to the cove during the day and, upon arrival, are invited to participate in authentic Hawaiian games and activities. At sunset the roasted pig is brought forth, and guests can heap their plates and settle down to watch the show. Hawaii's history is told through music and dance. Call or check the web site for prices and reservations. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Movie memorabilia cafe |
2155 Kalakaua Avenue Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 924 7877 http://www.planethollywood.com/ |
This worldwide chain of theme restaurants is a bit hit-and-miss, but the Waikiki location is a winner, especially with Waikiki visitors. Browse tons of Tinseltown memorabilia and choose from a great menu of entrees ranging from meats to seafood. The Caesar Salad is especially good, and the tempting dessert offerings are numerous. The full bar has a decent beer selection and an unremarkable wine list. There is live music and dancing every Friday and Saturday evening starting at 9p. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Egyptian food and belly dancing |
758-B Kapahulu Avenue (Kapahulu District) Honolulu, HI 96823-3208 United States +1 808 737 2900 |
Two tasteful nightly belly dancing performances draw everyone from former Middle Eastern residents to honeymooning couples to, Honolulu's only Egyptian restaurant. The attractive sand-colored dining room features intricate brass lamps, hieroglyphics and mother-of-pearl inlay furniture. Lunch buffet is served Monday-Saturday. Dinner entrees include Shawerma (thin slices of grilled, spiced lamb or chicken) and Reiash (grilled rack of lamb) - all served with basmati rice, salad and pita bread. Plenty of vegetarian selections are available, too. Beverages include a few beers, cocktails and wine by the glass or the bottle. Review © 2007, Wcities |
