Johnny Aloha was fantastic, really loved the Loco Moco and the hot dreams. Spiiiicy! Great conversations at the bar all night. A+++ (ask about the speakeasy!)
While reservations are recommended, we walked in after a disappointing dinner nearby. Bartender Keoki got us into their Speakeasy and we loved it. I have dined there at least 5 times but the speakeasy with special menu I was awesome. Keoki went up and down the steep back stairs to really take care of us. We have such a unique, enjoyable, and memorable experience.

The Surfing Pig Hawaii has a really unique speakeasy experience, and overall, the atmosphere was nice. Unfortunately, there was one part of our visit that really took away from what was supposed to be a special date night.
I was treating my husband to this experience as a date and as a way to show my appreciation for him. While we were enjoying our time inside the speakeasy, staff brought other guests into the space to show them what was behind the door while we were still seated and enjoying our experience. I completely understand that people are curious about the speakeasy and want to see what it looks like, but I feel there is a better way to handle this when the space is currently occupied.
The waitress could easily explain what is behind the door and tell guests about the experience without bringing them inside while another party is actively enjoying their date. In fact, that explanation could actually make people even more interested in booking the speakeasy themselves.
We did mention our concern to our waitress after another waitress had done this, and her response was essentially, “Ohhh, yeah, we do that. Sorry.” While I appreciated the apology, it was disappointing to learn that this is apparently part of the normal practice.
I really hope management reconsiders this. When someone pays for and books a private-feeling speakeasy experience, they should be able to enjoy the atmosphere without having other guests brought in to look around. It interrupted the vibe and took away from what was supposed to be an intimate and memorable date with my husband.
The experience has a lot of potential, and this seems like a simple policy change that could make a big difference in the guest experience. I would definitely recommend explaining the speakeasy to curious guests and encouraging them to book it—but please wait until the space is unoccupied before bringing people inside.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing! A Must-Try in Hawaii!
I came to Hawaii with my family hoping to find amazing food, and we tried several different restaurants along the way. We were even told that Duke’s was a must-try, but honestly, it didn’t live up to our expectations.
Then we discovered this restaurant, and WOW! what a difference!
From the moment we walked through the door, we were welcomed by such friendly and attentive staff. The customer service was outstanding!!they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The restaurant itself was beautiful, clean, and had such a great atmosphere.
But let me tell you about the FOOD! 🤤🔥
Everything we ordered was delicious! I highly recommend the Surfing Pig Family Deal. The truffle fries were absolutely incredible! I could have eaten the whole plate by myself! 😂 The pork loin was also delicious and full of flavor.
I honestly wish we had discovered this place earlier in our trip. If I had known how good it was, I would have eaten here every single day!
If you're visiting Hawaii and looking for delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere, DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE! You will not regret it.
Thank you to the entire team for such an amazing experience. We will definitely be back! ❤️🌺🐷
