TIKI’S
GRILL
&
BAR
WE MADE THE MAI TAI FAMOUS
If you happen to walk down
Kalaua Avenue by the Aston Hotel,
Honolulu, you have to stop by Tiki’s
Grill & Bar. The Tiki’s Grill & Bar is
beautifully located on their second
floor. The view is right across the
street from the best beach in Waikiki.
The restaurant with its breathtaking
romantic sundown dinner for two is
also the most partying place at their
Lanai Bar. The bar is known not for
creating the Mai Tai (where they let
Don the Beachcomer and Trader Vic
fight it out for who invented it) but at
Tiki’s Grill & Bar they just made it the
most famous drink in Waikiki!
Tiki’s Executive Chef is infamously
known as Chef Ronnie, who left the
Executive Corporate Chef position
with Roy’s to create the Tiki’s award
winning cuisine. The menu is a
culinary adventure where everything
is locally produced . We enjoyed a
priceless four course menu sampling
of 5 incredible tastes of each course
showcasing: Coconut Shrimp, Kalbi
Beef Gyoza, Ahi Tataki, Duck Duet,
Miso Pork Pot Roast, and the Beach
Boy Seafood Combo with Shrimp
and Scallops.
For month’s, I was looking forward
to trying Hawaiian Poke for the first
time. After reviewing the Tiki’s Grill
& Bar menu many times before
my trip, I salivated for their Prime
Rib Poke! After all, how wonderful
18 ModernLifestyles.tv
could Prime Rib Poke be? Randy,
the Restaurant Assistant Manager,
ensured me that I had an additional
full order of the Prime Rib Poke for
myself and every course we sampled!
Hangin’ at the Best Lanai (patio)
Bar in Waikiki, Tiki’s Master
Hawaiian Mixologists create their
TOP FIVE: the Surf Mai Tai,
the “Five-O” Lava Flow, Ocean
Potion, Mega Mango Mojito
and Pro Bowl Punch all served
in Hawaii Keepsake Glassware.
Some of Tiki’s other favorites
from the Bar are the Shark Bait,
Skinny Chi, Kalkoa Sunset, Blue
Bikini and the Ultimate Malibu
Mai Tai. The list never ends with
popular cocktails including Top
Shelf Margaritas and Coladas
served in Coconuts!
According to an old Hawaiian
Legend, Mama has worked in
the Kitchen of Tiki’s Grill & Bar
forever preparing her World
Famous Thai Chicken & Green
Papaya Salad. Her secret recipe is
unknown even to Executive Chef
Ronnie and she plans on keeping
Thailand’s most famous national
recipe a delicious secret.
It’s the view at Tiki’s that makes
the cuisine taste even better! As
the sun sets and we were finishing
a sampling of 5 desserts including
Lilikoi Creme Brulee, Molten
Hot Hawaiian S’mores, Crunchy
Chocolate Spring Rolls, Baked
Apple Volcano and our favorite,
Hawaii’s Most Ridiculous Small
Brownie with a World Famous
Mai Tai in our hands, we say
“aloha” and ”mahalo” to Tiki’s Grill
& Bar for a true culinary paradise.
