Restaurants near Hawaii Opera Theater

We’re having a nice honeymoon trip! All servers are really kind and nice. They care all of our dinner.

Excellent sunset views! Exceptional service, our waiter was friendly, attentive and quick. Loved the ambiance and the live music. We’ll definitely be back.

This place is simply amazing. Our waitress was so sweet. She was so knowledgeable about all menu items. We have been meaning to try this place for a while and never got a chance to. I saw their James Beard special on TV and finally got a chance ro try them last week. We just HAD to return again this week. They are just that good. We will keep returning again and again. Their Caesar salad dressing (as our waitress says) is DRINKABLE! SERIOUSLY! That thing is ridiculous!! The Kaua'i shrimp special (we may be a little biased) was so 'ono. The shrimp dish and risotto dish was so flavorful. Everything we ordered was just so mouth watering! Go, go, go, go,go!!! This place is a MUST visit. Worth the parking hassle. Lol. Find it on the street or st the end of the road in the paid parking lot.

I keep coming back to Ruscello because of its unmatched consistency in taste and quality. Every visit feels like a guarantee of excellence. Their dishes are always flavorful and fresh. It’s rare to find a place where the food is just as good every single time, but this restaurant delivers on that. We ordered the soup of the day which was chicken noodle soup, shrimp arugula salad and the chicken gnocchi. We barely had room for dessert but also had the crème brûlée and coffee ice cream! So yum! The service is also consistently top-notch. Justin who was our server was very friendly, attentive, and delivered a seamless dining experience. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, I know I can rely on this place to exceed expectations. Highly recommended!

Wow, where have I been? This is a great, high quality, friendly, tasty, comfortable place to eat. The organic chicken in cast iron was one of the best chicken meals I’ve ever eaten in my life. It reminded me of the chicken at a chain restaurant in Japan called Ajitoya. The Beet salad was one of the first salads I’ve eaten that wasn’t overwhelming with one particular item. Even if you don’t like beets, there is enough of other flavors to fall in love with. It has the perfect mix of flavors that work well together. Chocolate Purse for dessert? Don’t bother sharing, get your own…lol. Only small complaint would be it’s a tad bit on the pricier side, but my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Our server was great, and you really get a sense that the entire staff that works here, works well together. Lots of smiling faces and cohesiveness from the team. I even saw the hostess walking around helping servers to fill up water. This is a top 5 restaurant in the entire Ward/ Waikiki area, don’t hesitate to go, you will enjoy it very much.
