Surf Lanai

The food was good. The coffee was good. The service provided by Elaine was AMAZING! She made my experience the best! She was welcoming, fast, and very friendly. Ask for Elaine if you come for breakfast and you won't be disappointed!

We didn’t stay at the Royal Hawaiian but we did eat at the restaurant (two times). The PINK 💕 Pancakes are so YUMMY!!! I don’t even like pancakes and they were so good. The pancakes are topped with coconut flakes, sweetened with berries and slight dollop of whipped cream. We also had a Denver omelette and coffee. Service was great and food was fabulous!

Good was really good especially the pink pancakes. My daughter said the açaí bowl was the best she had and it was fresh ($18). The pancakes were $31 and it came With juice and a meat. The pineapple Juice was really good

We had no problem being seated at 9:15 for breakfast. The Restaurant was lively with most tables seated or being reset. We shared a papaya platter, Short rib Benedict, and a keiki pancake with bacon. The food was really good with the pancakes being exceptional. What really stood out was the service. Grayson was always there to assist with refills and service. A visit to the table by the manager Keenan made it even better. They made breakfast a lovely experience and I would highly recommend the restaurant as a treat for yourself and others if you're looking for something better than good. It was a wonderful meal and a great way to start your morning.

The pink pancakes at the Pink Palace of the Pacific, what more could you ask for on the world’s most famous beach? This was an absolute delightful breakfast. We saved it for our last morning in Waikiki and looked forward to it all week. After an early morning surf, we hit the restaurant and enjoyed three orders of the Pink Pancakes. They were garnished so beautifully and had all these fancy little touches. Take a little bit of the magic home with Pink Pancake Mix from the Royal Hawaiian Bakery further inside the hotel.

We ate at the bar since they were so busy. The bartenders were attentive and quick. The pink pancakes surprised us! We thought they would be atypical but found out they were scrumptious!! The coffee was actually quite good as well - Kona blend.

Can’t be beat. Historic hotel and classic dining on the beach. To be at the grand ole hotel is something special to me. I wish the pulled pork hash was still on the menu. Oh, well! I still ate well.

Phenomenal breakfast with views of Waikiki. There’s a huge selection for breakfast and the staff were super attentive and helpful. We loved that you can sit under umbrellas while you wait for your table, the pink pancakes, presentation, and local dishes.

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Hawaii. They offer the most amazing breakfast, and that stack of scrumptious pink pancakes is every foodie's dream come true. I have been counting down the days for the past two years to reunite my taste buds with this delectable plate of food, and I was not disappointed. I savored every last crumb. I will be dreaming about this breakfast until my next trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend the Surf Lanai restaurant—10 out of 10! The food is absolutely amazing, and the service is truly exceptional. You have gained a lifelong customer, Surf Lanai. XOXO

I absolutely loved my experience here! The food was delicious. The views were idyllic, and I love the design of the restaurant with all of the pink umbrellas. I ordered the pink pancakes and salmon lox bagel. It’s also fun to walk around the hotel while you’re waiting for your table or after you eat.
