Menu needs to have American food, along with local or Asian choices. Sat Oct 10 13:19:49 -0700 2009 119588 nibs 1 5094527 What hotel are you staying at?

I think it is italian now. Finding moderately priced meals at a hotel is hard, especailly in Waikki. You can walk over to the Ala Moana Center., which is just down the street across from Ala Moana Beach Park. There are many places to eat. Ate at Tsukiji Fish Market and restaurant buffet..abt $35 per person back in August when I went to visit family. www.alamoanacenter.com/diningdirec.htm Wailana Coffee House on Ala Moana Boulevard has endless pancakes open 24hrs. No beach front view. Will get that only at the hotels. Ward Warehouse just before the Convention Center and Ala Moana Shopping Center has places to eat also.

They are among the more reasonable for beachfront. The Halekulani is wonderful, but you are going to be paying some pretty hefty prices. Tiki's is across the street from the water, and it has some good views of the beach if you are along the rail, but it is not beachfront. Mon Oct 12 05:07:58 -0700 2009 5093694 57890 KaimukiMan
