    It needs a more expansive menu. The romaine salad was delicious and the chocolate dessert was fabulous. I just wish there were more items on the menu to choose from.

    Food was amazing and we had exceptional service. It’s a definite must when considering Honolulu restaurants-a bit out of the craziness of Waikiki but within walking distance.

    One of the finest dining experiences we have had albeit the experience was pricy. Food was excellent and service was perfect. It was worth the cost if you’re looking for a special dinner out.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal with Arden! Everything about it was five stars with the exception of the noise level. It was so loud that we couldn’t hear each other talking at the table.

    A long wait between courses. We tried to catch our food server's attention several times when she walked by but she did not look in our direction.

    Wonderful dining experience. Dishes were different, creative, and blended flavors well. I especially enjoyed the Foie Gras dish that came in a butter dish with an onion jam and umeshi jelly served on pillow toast. It was like eating a butter toast with jelly but so much better. I couldn't help but smile with each bite. It was so fun, creative, and tasted delicious with the perfect blending of flavors. Best way I've ever eaten Foie Gras! I liked the lively atmosphere. Being older, I remember having to go to a stuffy, library feel, dark restraunt to experience such top quality dishes that took 3 hours to complete. Just give me great, creative dishes in a smart welcoming environment and this is what Arden delivers on.

    Limited GF offerings for my friend, GM thankfully smoothed things over but I was surprised how unprepared they were for a common allergy.

    We had a lovely dining experience — the cocktails, wine selection, and food quality were highlights. Although the dining room seemed like it may have been a little loud, we were seated in the private room, where the ambience was warm and relaxed.
