The restaurant is small, tight, but very aesthetic. The food was okay, overpriced for low quality. The service was the worse service I’ve ever had in my life and I dine in lots of expensive restaurant before. Our server was a male, he was sassy, he raise his voice, and wasn’t very patience with us. I would never come back again. There wasn’t anything special about this place at all and we spent over $600 for tapas size portion. The alcohol drinks are water down, doesn’t have much alcohol in there and it’s also overpriced. We got some nice pictures for the grams but that was about it. Was it worth it? Probably not.

Ambience is awesome. When you walk in it’s like you’re in another place not Hawaii. Food and drinks are pricey but it would be worth it if the food was delicious, it was not. The food was decent but with the decor and setting being so fabulous the food should leave you feeling like you had an experience. It did not. I’d say it’s worth checking out and have a drink or two. I hope they can improve the menu because this place has potential.

This place was extremely overpriced and disappointing. The cocktails tasted like cough syrup and nothing special. The 24k chicken was overcooked, dry and chewy. The salmon mousse served on a soggy cookie and was teeny portions. Best thing were kapachi tacos. Service was good, but it literally hurt to pay top dollar for mediocre food. My husband callled it a scam

Not sure if I would call it a Speakeasy. There was no secret door or anything. It was just a bar. Only had the creme brûlée so can’t really rate the food but the drinks were yummy. Very expensive but yum.

First time at the Blind Ox for date night with my husband. Just Chose Blind Ox when I Googled “restaurants in Waikiki”. Reservation was for Friday at 8:15pm. Valeted the car so not sure about self parking. Residential area surrounding the restaurant. Entrance was a bit obscured. The valet attendant actually directed us to it. Server was pleasant and knowledgeable about the food, cocktails and other libations. Also very attentive and provided recommendations based on what we liked. Petite lobster rolls and escargot were rich, buttery, and delicious. Blind Ox steak was tender l, seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Tapa portions so we ordered more as needed. 3 cocktails that were recommended in following order made sense- 1. Thyme Out - easy to drink and refreshing 2. Playa Del Sangre - kept the party going for sure! Stronger but nice hints of the hibiscus infused Mezcal and other fruity liqueurs. 3. Viva La Matcha- I considered my dessert cocktail. If you love matcha like me, then I highly recommend this drink as the combo with honey and coconut foam works! Finished off with Bourbon crème brûlée and the key lime pies. Both tasty. The only thing we really didn’t care for was the outdoor seating , which was the only option available for our reservation time. Thankfully, it didn’t rain so the lack of complete roofing (fancy tarps?) was not a problem that night. However, it was a bit humid and muggy. I don’t think a breeze would’ve been able to come through due to the location. With summer around the corner and Hurricane season, it may be a problem. It looks like the outdoor seating/tables is the alleyway of 2 buildings. I did ask if I can see the inside seating. Much better but it does look different from pictures on line. Overall, I would recommend. Pricey but food is delicious and drinks were amazing.
