    Worst breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Everything was basic. Cheapest yogurt and granola was offered. Presentation was poor. Coffee was bad. Never coming back to this restaurant. Paid almost $100 for this awful breakfast. The free breakfast that you get at a 1 or 2 star hotels are much better than this. So disappointed at Sheraton.

    Kai market is a restaurant in Sheraton. We had breakfast at this restaurant for entire trip. This has indoor+ outdoor seating. Indoor seating is as good as outdoor as this has huge glass sliding doors that gives outdoor effect to everything. Views are breathtaking. It’s oceanfront overlooking Waikiki beach. Food was decent. Omelette was really good. They can have much better options in continental option. Currently they had standard chilly regular fruits, sugary yogurt, granola mix with chopped nuts and server had no clue what nuts are in. Coffee was served and refilled cold. I am allergic and had to leave it as no idea what nuts they were using. Servers were very elderly and very sweet and friendly. I am giving 4 star as the views were stunning and the servers were super friendly.

    2.5 ⭐️ Mixed experience. Lots of crab legs available, sushi and salads were good. The short ribs were great. By 8.30 pm only remnants of the desserts were left - nothing was being replenished. Nice outdoor setting with live local music. Service was good. Even with the discount from our hotel, we felt this was poor value.

    We visited this place for breakfast the first day of our stay at Sheraton. The dishes are quite large. The food was tasty and the service was fast. I would have liked to see better nuanced dishes with some hawaiian flare. This was more like breakfast at Dennys. Overall given the other options I guess this place works

    A pretty big selection of different variety of foods. Delicious and fresh. There are deserts, fresh fruits, soups, appetizers, salads, and traditional Hawaiian foods along with the main entrees. Servers are super friendly tho one guy serving the crab legs had very irritated face and attitude. Lines are usually not that long of a wait depending on hours. Great outdoor lanai next to the beach. Price is slightly high tho it is a luxury hotel buffet.

    Ronnie is the best server ever (that I met) here in Hawaii. He’s Filipino. And very kind and friendly. We had breakfast here during our stay at Sheraton. The eggs Benedict and omelette is bomb. The continental breakfast is alright not the best though. Coffee is not strong, I’d tiger get a coffee at McDonald’s or Starbucks. But overall 5 starts for the food and Ronnie, and mostly the Filipino servers, they will greet us and chitchat with a smile. Would definitely come back and recommend.

    The eggs in the Vegetarian Eggs Benedict could have been prettier, but it tasted good and the view was gorgeous. Very relaxing and delicious breakfast today!

    Honestly didn't expect the breakfast to be as good as it was. Pancakes were fantastic. Only thing I didn't like was they use fake eggs for scrambled eggs. Would have completed the meal.

    We were here for breakfast twice (so far) during our stay at the Sheraton. It opens at 6:30 when the lines are almost non existent but closer to 8am the lines get long and the wait time is around 30 mins or so. Food itself was nice and service was great. Portions were sufficient for all of us (2 adults and 2 kids aged 10&6) for what we ordered.

    Augusta was the best server we have had in a long time. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and accommodate our needs. It was such a breath of fresh air to have such attentive and authentic service! I had the American Breakfast. The eggs were poached perfectly and the bacon was delicious. The views are unlike any other.

    Great service and atmosphere, but sub-par doesn't quite begin to describe the food. For nearly $30 an entree, we expected decent food. The omelette looked like it was made with less than fresh ingredients and tasted about the same. The pancakes were decent, but way too large a portion, perhaps to pad the price of the entree; it might have been a good size for two or three people to share. The sausage was kind of chewy and the bacon tasted like bulk food service type bacon. If you're staying at the Sheraton, do yourself a favor and walk down the street to the Veranda at the Beach House in the Moana surfrider.

    Average American breakfast, but it is $$$. Do have friendly service.

  • 4/5 Molly O. 1 year ago on Google
    Every morning we had to wait at least 15 minutes to get a table and we were never able to eat outside during our stay. The breakfast is decent. The omelet was pretty good. They aren’t overly accommodating for those with food allergies. Beware of tiny birds occasionally coming to your table or flying above, as all of the doors are open and they fly around inside before heading back out to the patio.

    A wonderful place for amazing ocean views, delicious food, and wonderful service. The staff is very courteous, and try to seat the people very quickly even if there’s a long line. And generally there is a long line as the place is too good.

    Quick service after ordering. A bit expensive but it's at a resort. Tasty food options. Very friendly staff!
