   A regrettable Christmas breakfast experience. I booked due to location and promise of a great view. Despite having a reservation, it took quite a while to get seated. Our table of 4 was in an odd hallway with a minimal view based on position. It took at least 10 minutes or more for a server to come to our table. They were out of orange juice and had a fairly limited menu. The pancakes were grainy and thick. The French toast was the best of the options. It was thick and well made. The crab eggs Benedict was okay but arrived lukewarm. We never saw our server again until we were done. There were no drink refills or top offs. I understand it is Christmas so I certainly cut them some slack (and we still left a good tip) but if you are open, it’s not unfair to expect at least decent service and experience. I do not recommend for holiday meals.

   My spouse and I visited PESCA Waikīkī Beach on the last night of our honeymoon in Hawaii, excited to enjoy their seafood menu while taking in the breathtaking view from the 30th floor overlooking Waikiki. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing, leaving a sour note on what should have been a memorable evening. The issues began with an unusually long wait of 30 minutes just to have our order taken. While we understood that our 3-pound lobster might require extra preparation time, the delays became excessive, over an hour passed without receiving our food. During this time, our server did not check on us or provide any updates, which added to our frustration. When we finally got up to request assistance from the manager, it took several minutes for him to arrive. Once he did, there was no acknowledgment of the shortcomings in service or any attempt to rectify the situation. Instead, our server stated that he was “fighting for our food” and that other patrons were also experiencing delays. This response lacked empathy and conveyed no effort to make us feel valued as guests. We ultimately decided to leave without eating, as the experience had left us with no appetite. This was the first time in my life I’ve walked out of a restaurant, and it was incredibly disappointing, especially considering we were prepared to spend a few hundred dollars on our meal. For a fine dining establishment, I would have expected a much higher standard of service, professionalism, and care. I hope PESCA Waikīkī Beach takes this feedback seriously to improve their service operations and ensure future diners receive the experience they deserve. A great view and a promising menu are not enough if the service fails to match expectations.

   They were completely disorganized. The food was undercooked. Then some other food was overcooked. Then there was a Greek salad with 47 chunks of tomatoes, and only three pieces of feta. We asked them for an iced tea three times. They never brought out the spinach that we ordered.

   Excellent food, service, ambiance and view. And don't forget the non stop to the top glass elevator overlooking the harbor, magic island and the beautiful blue pacific ocean.

   The food was magnificent, as was the view. Kevin was the most charming, gracious server I have ever experienced. We felt like we were dining with family. Kudos to the entire staff. We will return soon.
