We made a 12:45 lunch reservation but finding the location and parking garage presented a delay. Merv from the hostess stand called to confirm and inform the kitchen of our delay. We finally made it 5 minutes before the kitchen closes. Everyone was soooo kind and welcoming. Katie our waitstaff made a few recommendations and we ordered the Garlic Chicken Sandwich and its famous Charcoal Pancake! Everything was delish! BUT the best part was the people that worked there.. Lehua stopped by and chatted with us. On their way out, the chef stopped and thanked us for coming. What a joyful experience overall! Best part! Validated parking @ Hyatt Centric Hotel! A really must try. We’re going back to try more but definitely will come earlier (smile). Mahalo Basalt and staff!

Our recent three-course dinner and wine pairing experience at Basalt was simply exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Alyssa knocked it out of the park. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm elevated the entire evening. She anticipated our needs, provided outstanding service, and made us feel welcomed throughout the experience. What truly set the evening apart was the wine pairing presentation. Lee, our sommelier took the time to visit our table and thoughtfully describe each wine selection, explaining how the flavors, aromas, and characteristics complemented each course. The explanations were both educational and eloquent without being overwhelming, adding an entirely new dimension to the meal. Each course was beautifully prepared, expertly presented, and perfectly matched with the wines. The combination of outstanding cuisine, exceptional service, and knowledgeable wine guidance created a memorable dining experience from start to finish. Basalt delivered exactly what fine dining should be: remarkable food, impeccable service, and an experience that leaves a lasting impression. We look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking one of Honolulu’s premier dining experiences.

Amazing food, we got the pan seared chicken and it was incredible. We also got a few of their mocktails and they were delicious. The staff is also extremely kind and helpful, our bartender was amazing and recommended everything that we tried.

An instant Waikiki staple. Great atmosphere to enjoy fantastic food from chef Lance Kosaka. Light music that doesn’t disturb conversation. They have a wide variety of drinks, but I suggest the mocktail “Spa Day” and spike it with Hendrick’s Gin. Nat will take good care of ya. Lance’s spin on a classic Loco Moco will hit every savory gland you have! Sharing this dish and the Charcoal pancakes are a perfect combination to satisfy your sweet needs. ☯️

Long review, but could be helpful! So place is inside of a nice clean market, doesn’t look as appealing from the outside because of location (inside of a market). We sat down and we were greated by server who was really nice to us (two kids and two adults). They also provided a high chair for infant. Honestly, didn’t expect much because of location, but food was a WOW, 10/10. We ordered a rib eye steak w/mashed potatoes, chicken w/mashed potatoes, and a grilled cheese sandwich (kid). Everything was so tasty, portions were generous too. Priced fair because of service, taste, and quality of service. Would recomment!!!
