    My wife used to come to this location back when she lived on the island and I had an amazing first experience. The mahi Benedict was fantastic and I would definitely recommend. If you wanna salad loaded bloody Mary, this is the place to get it. Guava chiffon pancakes….enough said, get them. Chris kept great company and made our experience that much better. All in all, we would definitely recommend.

    Aaaaaaaaaamazing!!!!! Food was GREAT!!!! I got the Tropical French toast... It was extremely flavorful. Everyone should go here. Sit on the outside, seems to be part of the hotel. Look for the large waterfall rocks.... Can't see the sign if you're walking around the outside by the harbor.

    The food at Cinnamon’s is delicious! Great place for breakfast. The pancakes are their specialty. We greatly enjoyed Cinnamon and Chiffon Guava pancakes. Other breakfast items and sides are also yummy. This place is quite popular. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take reservations. The wait time for walk-ins can be up to 2 hours. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We were finally able to enjoy a hearty meal on our third try. The chef was out early in the first evening and the next time was drinks only. 5 stars for the food … just wish it was easier to get in and get the food!

    Make reservations for breakfast here or you'll be waiting a bit, but it's it worth it. Amazing quality of food choices with boozy brunch cocktails. Outdoor seating only at this beautiful beachside restaurant attached to the Ilikai Hotel. Service was quick and very friendly. Locals in town said this place was amazing and I'm very happy I came here.

    It was an awesome breakfast sot with friends. We had a bit of a wait- we were notified by text when our table is ready. If you aren't picky, there is not a bad view. Even from the middle I had a beautiful view of the sky above the seas and of the marina. Our server was amazing. The food we had was delicious ! We'd dine here again before our stay is complete.

    I visited a restaurant right in front of Boat Harbor, and the view was absolutely stunning, with the blue sea spreading out below. This restaurant is nestled within a beautiful and luxurious hotel. The hygiene standards are top-notch, and the service is exceptional. The staff is friendly and efficient. However, the food leaves much to be desired, as it felt somewhat pre-made and not very appetizing. On the bright side, the pancakes we ordered as an extra were generously portioned and moderately tasty.

    Breakfast overlooking concrete seating, Marina, outside back of Ilikai hotel. Birds enjoyed waiting for guests to leave to attack leftovers on the tables. Servers and host staff were nice. Be prepared to wait. Again, as long as you know to go before you are fully hungry, you will be fine. Did well trying to add trees around to make it cute. The sounds of the animals and the foliage with the Hawaiian music allowed us relaxing deep breaths. We had crab eggs benny and it was very good, the price was $21 and enough to share. Had POG juice.

    I rarely post reviews with less than 5 stars so here is why I deducted a star from here. We had a group of 7. Wait was over 40 which is understandable for a bigger group. But when we sat down it took 20 mins longer just to order then like an hour for all the food to come out. Food was warm when it arrived too not hot. =/On the bar menu it said 2 hours seating max. We were a bit stress out thinking we had to eat fast. Other than this food was delicious and so was the drinks.

    Food was great. Atmosphere was good. Service was awful. We had already been waiting to be seated (party of 2) for about half an hour and then another couple just walked in and a waitress seated them right away because the host was nowhere to be found. Then we put our order in right away and it took about 40 minutes for the food to come out. Again, for two people, nothing complicated about it. The waitress was very hard to get ahold of and it took ten minutes just to flag someone down for a coffee refill. They gave my husband's meal to another table and we had to wait another 15 minutes for his meal to be remade. They did not end up charging us for his meal, rightfully so. Took another ten minutes after we were done eating to flag someone down to bring us the check. They are either severely understaffed or our waitress has not found her calling. Otherwise, the outdoor seating and waterfalls surrounding the dining area was very nice, and the food was delicious.

    Tourist, please go to this place…it is good, I had the local moco-short ribs, it was delicious. The combo of different foods within this meal was insane and it was a large portion. The mimosa was decent. Our waitress was Crystal. She is one of the best waitress I’ve ever had. She took down all 6 of our orders without writing anything down and recalled what everyone had. The food came out just how we ordered it. She was fast, nice, knowledgeable and helpful. This is a must try for breakfast. We waited about 35-40 min.

    Very good service and attentive staff. Clean restaurant. Menu list solid for breakfast. Price-point reasonable. The food was good, not amazing - but worth a visit if you’re at the hotel. The drinks were wonderful.

    This was recommended by some of or neighbors at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I wish we'd found this place sooner. Great service and food options. Generous portions and outstanding quality and taste. For breakfast, get there early (e.g. 7 - 7:30) or it can be a long wait. #waikikifood

    Great island atmosphere in a covered outdoor setting. Friendly staff and our server was awesome. Good cocktails and food came out in timely manner. Meals are generous sizes with a range of options and reasonably priced. The ribs were tasty, but the veggies were very salty and the potato/Mac salad with olives was a weird combo for me.

    Our server (who's name I can't remember, but he was very tall) was fantastic. One of his other tables was a bit rude to him but he handled it with aplomb. We thought he was wonderful. The food was great. Our server recommended the crispy chicken sandwich to my boyfriend and he was very pleased. I got the homemade cinnamon roll and the garlic fries which were both very good.

    The location is right by the water, making the atmosphere perfect. I recommend sitting on outside to maximize the atmosphere. Seating was very quick as we got here at 745am. It was already busy but amazing I recommend the moco loco as the main dish if you're hungry, it's the main breakfast of the Hawaiian. It's definitely recommended to only use white rice and always do the over easy eggs, this is the Hawaiian way and was also recommended by the bar tender! The fried pork were absolutely amazing, crispy and soft and not oily at all. The combination of running eggs, white rice and soy sauce with a hint of lemon citrus was the exact morning meal I needed because I was hungry! The mushroom omelette was solid. Not above nor below average omelette. Lastly we had the coffee with Kahlua and spicy rum and it was just the kick we needed to start our day.

    The cinnamon roll pancakes!! Amazing! Unique in my experience. I can only think of one other place I've ever had these. I also had the crab cake Benedict and a side of spam delicious meal and I didn't need to eat for a while.

  • 5/5 Courtney M. 5 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and drinks! The POG ( I think that’s what they call it) is the best! Taste like Hawaii! My favorite dish was the build your own omelet. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Be sure to sit outside for the views of the harbor.

    Cinnamon's at the Ilikai is one of our perennial favourites for breakfast whatever we visit Waikiki. It's usually busy so we tend to go when it opens. Their patio bar has a nice view of the Ala Wai Boat Harbour (remember Gilligan's Island?). You can also find parking at the harbour (it was $1/hr when we visited last April). No visit to Hawaii would be complete without some POG (passion fruit, orange, guava) juice. I love the crispy tater tots that they serve here... So addictive and I've never found any better. You can get their Benedict's in half size servings (ie. one instead of two Benedict's). The kalua pork is juicy and tender while the poached egg is perfectly runny. We also usually get the guava chiffon pancakes (short stack) - the pancakes are light and fluffy and melt on your tongue. The top layer tends to be sweeter from the syrup and you have to take your pics quick otherwise the whipped cream will just melt away.

    Had a great experience with the family. Food was excellent, service was great and the live music on the morning was amazing. The pork belly loco moco was so tasty and my wife enjoyed the Tropical Stuffed French toast! (I had some too and it was delectable!)
