    Food is delicious here. Highly recommend the wagyu cheeseburger and the poke bites. The fries and garlic noodles are delicious. Honestly don't think I've had a bad thing here. Also the wines are very reasonably priced. It's also never packed which is surprising. Regardless they take reservations. Definitely worth a visit.

    It's good breakfast and brunch place in Waikiki just opposite to the International market place. Place is pretty crowded with long lines but it's worth waiting. The Island Vintage wine bar next to it which has ample seating. They also serve similar menu. Most of the food is customizable and have a good variety of vegan and vegetarian food choices. The bar also have a wait time and it's recommended to reserve a table in advance if you do not want to wait. The coffee shop do not have many tables

    The Island vintage Wine bar and Island Vintage Coffee shop is tied under one ownership. The coffee shop serves on a first come first serve basis while the wine bar lets you make an online reservation for dine in. The majority of the menu if not all of it is the same for the coffee shop and the wine bar. That being said at peak time the wait time can roughly be 60 mins on a conservative side. You can always put your name down and stroll around the mall area. The coffee is amazing, tons of choice from mocha lovers to cappuccino drinkers. The long wait time is completely worth to taste the delicious coffee. The food menu is exclusive as well. The vegan Bibimbap was amazing and so was the Ahi Burger. A definite must try eatery and coffee shop!

    I had heard a lot about this place before I visited. It stood up to the expectations. Ordered Poke bowls and the Pitaya smoothie with Lilikoi for lunch. Everything tasted really fresh and flavorful. I am definitely planning to return and try their breakfast options. We had to wait about 10 mins in line to order and another 20-25 minutes to get the order on a Monday. Edit: We visited this place multiple times during our trip. Always left happy. You really cannot go wrong with this place.

    We came here for breakfast two times in one week. They serve the same food and drinks as the Vintage Coffee place does, but you don't have to wait in a crazy long line. The food is great. Coffee drinks are well made. Our servers were on point. The atmosphere is great. It's tidy, clean.

    Since the coffee bar had a long wait, we decides to have brunch at the wine bar instead and got our coffee as well. Got a table by the balcony overlooking the garden and we had a lovely time. The avacados on toast and purple sweet potatoes were amazing and the Wagyu burger was very filling n tasty. The fries that came along with it was out of this world.

    For breakfast we had Eggs Benedict and a Ham & Egg Croissant and they were both good. The Eggs Benedict came with some crunchy shoe string potatoes over the bread which I didn’t think added flavour or valuable texture to the dish, but make it more difficult to consume. Nice front of house and lovely staff who warned of a up to 30 minute delay, however, rather disappointing that the Benedict came out so much quicker than the croissant that my partner started eating well after I had finished. This is a basic matter of back of house organisation that most restaurants get right. That said, nice food.

    Poke bowl was REALLY good. Rice was flavored with a sweet mirin, and all ingredients tasted fresh. Btw you can't order shaved ice here. The ambiance was nice but it's located on the 2nd floor of the main shopping area, which killed the vibe a bit. The wine & beer selection was lacking

    The taro bagel lives up to the hype! It’s so good! We also had the wagyu loco moco. It’s exceptional as well. Service is a little slow but the food is worth the wait.

    If I can name only one restaurant in Waikiki, it would be Island Vintage. After trying many different restaurants, I visited IV every day for the last few days. Line sometimes is long but it worths, or we ordered online with pickup. My favorite food are loco moco and burgers. I tried different meat choices and all taste great. Highly recommended.

    Okay. This place was AMAZING! We were scrambling to find a place for dinner since everything was 1 hour + wait. We found this gem and were totally satisfied. The wine is fantastic, but the food… oh man. We got the prosciutto crostinis, mochi ice cream, cheese and fruit board, and these amazing ahi sushi bites. It was easily some of the best food I’ve had since being here on the island. I am so incredibly impressed.

  • 4/5 Yoyo Y. 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious food ! The staffs are busy and it took them a while to get the table set up even you have been called it’s time to show up. They are sweet, but may missed some item on your orders. Remember to check the bill. Recommend Egg Benedict and wagyu/braised beef loco moco, taro begal!

  • 5/5 nathan o. 9 months ago on Google
    Really nice choice if you don’t want to wait in the super long line at the more casual shop next door. They serve the same exact things but just with table service. We love coming here for breakfast whenever we stay in Waikiki. Service is good, food is good and the view of Royal hotel isn’t bad. You definitely have to get the liliko açaí bowl! It’s the best one!

  • 5/5 Joy S. 6 months ago on Google
    Decided to try this place out after seeing the massive line to the coffee shop next door. This place serves the exact same things, just a tiny bit more expensive but with sit down table service. We had a lovely view of the Royal Hawaiian hotel gardens, nice calming vibe and atmosphere to enjoy our Açaí bowl. Would come back again and try their lunch and dinner menu.

  • 5/5 Zhuo Z. 8 months ago on Google
    Really good coffee and the service was kind and attentive. The food is very good too. I in particularly love the crab scrambled egg. Big portion, very expensive, but at least the crab tasted very fresh. However the potato is not crispy at all even though it is named “crispy potato”

    We did celebrate my daughter’s birthday here. The staff (look alike Margot Robbie) was extremely kind for everything. Acai bowl was more than perfect. Lovely place.

  • 5/5 Melissa 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite breakfast and lunch spot in Waikiki. I've been ordering the grilled Ahi plate and hot Island Latte for years. Recently tried the grilled Salmon plate. Loved it! Great service. Chill location.

  • 4/5 Charlie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to get some brunch style food and other items all day long along the Waikiki area. Two dishes stood out to me - the taro bagel with ube cream cheese and the papaya peanut butter sandwich. The taro bagel combo was excellent and super enjoyable. The braised beef loco moco and the Island plate were decent. The lilikoi mimosa was super refreshing (I thought it was light and could use more booze, but that's me). The food menu here is the same as the Vintage Coffee (just an fyi), so you can go here if the line is long at the other location.

    Coffee was great! I got a iced Hawaiian honey latte an my husband got a hot dirty chai and I’m picky with my coffee it was good. We had a table by the trees an could hear the birds it was very relaxing and good music. Food tasted great 10/10 recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Brenda W. 2 years ago on Google
    The lobster salad and "local fish of the day" salads were amazing. This was such a chill place to sit, listen to the music and relax. I liked the fact that you were able to order coffee from the coffee shop adjacent to the wine bar from the wine bar menu.

    We love Island Vintage Wine Bar and make it a must stop place for brunch or dinner. Everything is so good! It’s part of the Island Vintage Coffee company which serves awesome açaí bowls, sandwiches and of course coffee. A must visit for me and my family. Everything we had has been authentic and clean. We visit this restaurant couple of times during our weeklong vacation on Oahu. And the wine selection is really good and some come half pour so you can try a variety to find your favorite wine.

  • 5/5 Eva 1 year ago on Google
    Super good food. My partner is very picky with his poke he says this one was a 4/5 out of all the poke on the island but definitely one of the better ones in Waikiki. The sweet potato fries were nice and paired well with the wine. Let me just say I know it says wine bar but I was still shocked to see so many choices available! And they do have beer! 🍺

    We went to Island Vintage Wine Bar twice while in Waikiki and both times were fantastic. Outside of the long wait to eat for a late dinner and a mid-morning breakfast. (But that's Waikiki for you, no fault to the restaurant.) We ended up there, first, after a long tour around the Island and had about a 45 minute wait for a table. I ordered their Fruit and Cheese plate. Nothing makes me happier at a restaurant than a cheese plate...this one was unlike any I'd had before (see the photo), a bouquet of cheese and fruit, all of which tasted fantastic...I mean really fun flavor cheeses, superbly fresh and sweet fruit, and a really tasty raisin and nut bread that made the whole thing feel like an indulgent cheese plate fantasy. This was easily, at least, the most beautiful cheese plate I've ever seen, and certainly amongst the tastiest. My wife had the Vegan Poke with Grain Rice and Salad. Another beautiful plate of food, very "Hawaii" in it's ingredients and presentation. The menu has lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options for people with those diets and it's, helpfully, labeled as such next to each item. Our sun had the vegetarian grilled mushroom burger. He's 12 and loves a good veggie burger...he *thought* it would be a veggie patty of some kind with mushrooms on it, but the mushrooms are the protein...despite has expectation he thought it was delicious. We went back the next morning for brunch as my wife had a hankering for their Lilikoi Moana Açaí Bowl...it was, again, gorgeous and did not disappoint her. I had the Vegan French Toast with coconut cream and maple syrup. It was made with the same delicious raisin / nut bread from the previous night's cheese bread, and, despite it being vegan, had an "eggy-ness" about it that, especially with the cream and syrup, made it a legitimate sweet breakfast dish. I also had it with a side of tempeh bacon...tempeh is not usually my favorite meat substitute, but this was probably the best implementation of it I'd seen and tasted with a nice crisp to it and the kind of saltiness one might get from bacon. They were also nice enough to substitute their regular roasted potatoes for the greens so I could feel extra breakfast...these potatoes were off the hook. So good. Our 12 year old had a side of Taro Muffin which he thought was okay, and the coffee I had was good, though not quite as strong as I'd had at other local restaurants that week. We would 100% return to Island Vintage any time of day for dinner or breakfast...DEFINITELY worth the wait. Pro-tip, the wine bar serves the breakfast menu that you can get at Island Vintage Coffee next door...the wait is almost the same. We put our name on the electronic waiting list and were shown a 4 hour wait! That seemed like too long so we got in the long line for the coffee restaurant...by the time we got almost to the front of the coffee line (a little less than an hour), we got a notice that our table was ready at the Wine Bar...so we bailed on the coffee line and got seated right away at the Wine Bar which has nicer seating areas and table service. Nice job Island Vintage everything!

    Excellent foods! The service was okay but foods come out very slow. Also they’re always fully booked. Highly recommend to make advanced arrangements for your dine in experience.

  • 5/5 J F. 2 years ago on Google
    I got the kimchi fried rice but you can’t see it because it’s underneath the other deliciousness, do yourself a favor and don’t try to go when it’s busy. Go early, sit enjoy, but expect that you’re going to need to have some patience. It’s pricey but delicious and filling

  • 5/5 Deborah R. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful food and attentive, friendly service. Had the garlic shrimp & grilled salmon; both were cooked perfectly, flavored simply but deliciously, and plated beautifully. The mimosas were an unexpected treat as well…the one with fresh passion fruit was divine 😋.

  • 5/5 Pablo V. 2 years ago on Google
    A Comprehensive wine list and friendly faces await you at the Island Vintage Wine Bar. Hands free QR code menu opens 5 full pages of wine and various food options. While we didn’t eat here, their cheese and meat boards look spectacular. The owner came over and complimented our choice in wine and Michael, was incredibly attentive and nice. If we had more time we would spend it here! Thank you Island Vintage Wine Bar, we can’t wait to come back!
