I came in for happy hour one day and happy hour prices are really good. $9 for their meat and cheese platter and $3 simple cocktails (like vodka sodas).
I also found out they do a tasting every Thursday for $20 per person. It's an assortment of alcohol (depending on the theme) and a little pupu buffet!
Definitely gonna come back one day!
The Wisp has great food, music and friendly staff!
It's a beautiful restaurant and lounge too!
Great place to meet your friends and have a great time!
Spread the word! You'll love it thereš
Really enjoyed our breakfast here on our first full day in Honolulu staying at the Lotus in late April 2018. I had the spam omelette with some fresh fruit and coffee and we talked sports with the waiter. Nice guy, very personable and quite knowledgeable about sports. ļæ½
Great food and price for the Happy Hour. Love our waitress Erin! She is awesome! The live music was wonderful too! We really had a great time! Highly recommend to everyone!
Staying at the Lotus Diamond Head, this restaurant is not only convenient but the food is ono and the wait staff ensures you have the best experience. We ate here for breakfast twice and dinner 4 times during a five night stay... guess you could say we enjoyed!
Fantastic food, wine, music, staff! It's the former Bobby McGees! Think it's open for breakfast too. Great Happy Hour too
I love the ambiance of the restaurant! The service was top notch and the food was amazing!! I highly recommend coming here!
Went early for happy hour.
Wasn't crowded, so service was great!
Friendly staff, good food.
Pricing just right.
Definitely going back!
Great Happy Hour and food, just outside of Waikiki. Plus great location, friendly staff.
awesome food great location with friendly staff. The ambiance is sexy and comfortable
Love the ambiance, excellent service and delicious food !! Great Sunday night music tooļæ½
I've been hearing only good things about this place! Would love to check it out with family when I go visit in May!!
Kampachi was our favorite dish and cheese board but the steamed fish filet was excellent!
Clams and bison burger with the fries was excellent!
They have Guinness here!
Parking was 5 dollars and valet only which is pricey. Street metered parking if available ā”
Definitely happy hour is the way to goā”
Inside the Wisp Restaurant is an incredible sushi bar - Senyu Sushi. The former chefs of Kona Kai have set up shop here and the omakase is pretty darn good.
yummy food, great live music, awesome staff!
We came here for our anniversary last year and it was a great spot! The vibe and atmosphere was chill, the service was great, and the food was on point! The first time I came I ordered the clams, which were quite tasty. The second time I came, I ordered the lobster which was delicious as well. Our waiter was attentive and had a great attitude. Aside from the food being a bit pricey, I didn't have any complaints. Parking wasn't an issue as they have their own valet parking in the facility.
I was sad to find out that this location recently closed down, so I won't be able to come back :-(. But I am grateful I was able to try their food in the time they were open.

I've never felt so ignored or disrespected eating at a restaurant before. Was asked several times if I had ordered(would have been solved by taking my menu the first time). Upon finishing my appetizer I was asked if I was ready to "pack it up and leave". Side item I ordered was forgotten and not brought out until I was almost finished with my meal. I would understand slow service if the place was busy, but the same 4 tables were around me almost the full 2 hours I was there. On the positive side, the food was decent, and whenever I had the pleasure of having a server at my table they were friendly. The Lotus is such a wonderful hotel with superb hospitality, it was a shame it didn't extend into the restaurant. I understand that places have their off nights, and it seems I was unfortunate to be there on an off night. I can see that the restaurant has potential to be great.
(The restaurant called us the next day and apologized, and offered us dinner on them. Greatly appreciated! Thank you for accepting feedback and making it right!)

I was invited to a Thursday evening wine tasting and fell in love with the appetizer that was featured. I spoke with one of the new owners Lani Nakamura and she was extremely personable and efficient. I'm scheduled to host a private party there and was happy to find that both John and Lani were happy to work with and accommodate my needs.
The atmosphere is great! Very upscale at affordable prices. I'm looking forward to re-introducing my friends to one of the new spots for adult dining and entertainment, Wisp!
Beautiful lounge with Sushi Bar and Cocktail Bar. There is a great dance floor with Dj's on the weekends, very cozy not club-like at all. Great booths and tables- make a reservation so you can keep your table all night! Food is delicious as well!
I recently booked Wisp Hawaii for my college graduation party. Although our party was fairly large, Jon made sure to accommodate all of our needs prior to the event. Our party filled the whole dining area of the main room. During the party, the service was great. There was two servers plus Jon. They all made sure everyone had drinks and made sure everything ran smoothly. We did buffet style and had the fish, pesto pasta and eggplant parmesan. The food was very delicious I personally ate a few plates haha. They also let us use their sound system so my dad and I can make thank you speeches. I would highly recommend booking your next party at Wisp.
Not only have I booked by party there, but I have also dined there a few separate times. The service was always great. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food is always amazing. I havenāt been disappointed with anything. They also have live entertainment which always adds a nice touch to the experience.
Great happy hour, 7 days a week 4-7pm. Saturday night is 80s night, great people watching. And they have events such as taco Tuesday and Saki tastings.
Staying at the Lotus a few days before our cruise, we ate breakfast here on our first morning in Honolulu, back on April 27th (2018). Great coffee and food; I had a spam omelette and fresh fruit. Our waiter was very nice and quite a sports fan, as I recall. Can't wait to go back to WISP for more breakfast. Honolulu was amazing!
Went for happy hour on a Wednesday. Food was high quality and drinks were reasonable at that time. Atmosphere was quiet but looked like it was going to get busy later

Dined here for Christmas Dinner and there were only about 6 other diners there. The food was awesome but being a holiday evening, some kitchen staff called in ill so the owner (Jon Ishimi) wore many hats that evening. According to Jon, there was just one cook in the back :(
I loved the atmosphere and decor ... so modern and the holidays always adds festiveness to the room.
Our server was very sweet and attentive to our needs despite the wait for our food. Our entire experience took 2.5 hours. Too bad the live music was only till 7:30pm. The wait for food would have been more tolerable with live music :) ... nonetheless, back to the food:
1) Ram-lette: WINNAH!!!! I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ... definitely comfort food
2) Waffle fries: Not bad ... served with truffle aioli on the side. I am sure it would have tasted better if it was hot (temperature)
3) Coconut Curry Opah: Great taste ... not too spicy and the okinawan tiny potatoes complimented the curry (wish there were more on the plate)
4) Garlic Lover's Steak: YUM ... cooked to perfection (med rare)
5) Garlic Mashed Potato: OMG, this was awesome and the hottest plate that arrived to the table (temperature) that evening. It was served with the steak. Seasoned just right!
No dessert for me that night ... I couldn't bear to wait another hour for that and besides, my eyes lids were getting heavy from all the alcohol to make up for all the 'void' in wait time ... lol
YES, I would return for the food but maybe not on a major holiday :)
Great happy hour deals. We ordered a bunch of small plates to share family style. You can order sushi anywhere in the restaurant too!

It's off the beaten path of Waikiki, but if you find yourself at the aquarium, Kapolei Beach Park, or the Elk's Lodge, Wisp is a nice intimate place to have a drink and conversation. The sushi bar there is great, too, if you enjoy traditional and authentic Japanese sushi.
Only went to happy hour. Decent pupu menu, we ended up getting one of every thing to sample a little of each. Service was excellent.
