Eleven

We love eleven!! The flavor pairings of the drinks are so unique & the presentation makes it even more fun, like we had a mezcal drink with Okinawan black sugar/miso syrup & a yuzu foam on top!! The food is also really yummy, my fave is the beef & brioche! Just gotta know that the portions are really small so plan to eat dinner before or after. The potato chips are also exceptionally good lol. Anyways definitely recommend and love that it's in foodland farms! We actually came here after going to their wine bar which is also good!!

Disclaimer: This review is only for the Brunch Buffet. I've been wanting to come to this brunch buffet because the menu sounded amazing and it's $35 per person! This place is located in the back left corner of Foodland at Ala Moana. Once you walk in, you would never guess this was inside of a grocery store! It gives a lounge kind of vibe with couch seating & bar seating. Now for the important stuff: the food & drinks! Included in the $35 is your choice of coffee, tea, or iced tea. We opted for the iced tea and it was very refreshing. As for the food, it was just okay. We had Furikake Tater Tots, scrambled eggs with mushroom & cheese, taro haupia french toast (my personal fav out of everything), prime rib, and some pastries. When we first got there, almost all the food was almost gone which was a bummer as I'm not sure how long they were sitting there for. Once they refreshed the food, we went for a second round.The place was super empty with only 3 other parties. I find that a bit disappointing because when you look at their online reservations system, it always says it's booked. I had to book 3 weeks out! Since there were very little guests, the waiters were right there when you finish your last bite or the last sip of your drink. The service was awesome!Overall, I would come back if someone invited me but would not go out of my way to go. I would say it's worth a try!

Attended a b-day party, they reserved the WHOLE place. Music, the guests,We asked Customer Svs... where it's located.Oh, behind the cashiers. We squeeze ourselves into the exit cashier line and found ourselves in the floral and liquor dept. we were greeted w/ a smile from one of the ladies from church and checked us in. Staff was on task, provided coffee (no decaf) for mom but it was ok..& soda for me, 1 water glass. Food looked good, GET READY TO EAT! Buffet table not made for "shorties"... lolGood signage to describe the variety of eats. A great way to use "Local" items.Food was not hot, lightly warm, yet the burner was Working... Enjoyed the furikake Tator toys, that was like room temp. And dry/ hard. I enjoyed the chic curry, the pastries, fruit. As you can see in the pic, it was a pretty good variety and using LOCAL ingredients. My mom wants make a come back. Peony's we're VERY beautiful and perfect for the occasion. Thank you to Foodland floral dept. and their distributor to bring this Special flower for the occasion. The b-day girl was VERY impressed and we wereToo... to have this for the occasion. Why is it named, 11?

This restaurant is tucked away in the back of Foodland Farms Ala Moana. It is cosy with nice ambient lighting, comfortable chairs and a bar section. We went here for the weekend brunch. There was an assortment of breakfast pastries which complemented the coffee well. Additional items: nice Asian salad with crispy wontons, grilled veggies, Chia parfait, shrimp cocktail, fruits, prime rib fried rice, eggs, breakfast meats, ube Haupia French toast (was kinda soggy) grilled fish, chicken, garlic prime rib, and the most amazing seafood gumbo. The prime rib was small and cute - a nice tasting portion, with available au jus and roasted garlic and horseradish. Service was impeccable. Wait staff cleared our dishes quickly and filled our water and coffee timely. And because you may not have had enough to eat they give you a little tasting dessert dish at the end of your meal - cheesecake and pumpkin crunch. There was no white rice which I think most locals want to balance out the flavors. Very nice special occasion place. Highly recommend.

Eleven is located on the ground floor of Ala Moana on the Piikoi side of the mall. It's actually connected/inside Foodland, but you can enter from the outside. Eleven is one of the Foodland restaurants and it's nicely decorated and a little bougie. They usually are open for evenings and offer a wide drink selection and a small food menu. I really love Foodland and all of this bougie new restaurants and concepts. Especially when they first came out with these fancy dining experiences, I would often go to the wine bar or et al at kahala. I've been to Eleven several times too and even came here with half of my wedding guests for drinks after our reception. It was great!I've had a few experiences recently at Foodland restaurants that are less than great. I've also ran into former employees who have quit because they said things are different now. I hope this isn't an end to my love for everything Foodland. The cocktails are interesting. I like fruity drinks and thought eleven would have fresh juice cocktails since Foodland offers like 12 different kinds of fresh juice and aqua frescas. I was wrong. When I asked the waitress for a fruity cocktail rec she said that the low alcohol pineapple cocktail or the rose cocktail are the only 2. Well I didn't want a low alcohol content beverage and the rose cocktail didn't actually have any fruit ingredients in it. So I asked if I could make the low alcohol pineapple cocktail more alcoholic and she said adding a shot would make it a $30 drink. No thanks. So I got the rose one. The waitress was right. It tasted fruity, but I was definitely skeptical because it didn't have any fruit in it. I recently came to eleven for their weekend brunch. Usually I don't think eleven is open during the day, but on weekends, they offer a weekend brunch buffet for $35 per person. The brunch included some pastries, chia seed parfaits, French toast, eggs, breakfast sausages, tater tots, fried rice, fruit, shrimp cocktail and a carving station. I actually really enjoyed the bunch because it seemed affordable and the offerings were all really good. It's not a very wide selection of foods, but everything was made really well. I liked that the carving station had precut slices of beef and it sounds crazy, but the chia seed parfait might have been my favorite part. The service was good and the brunch comes with iced tea, but at only $35 per person, I would maybe slpurge on a Bloody Mary or mimosa next time.

Make reservation in advance via OpenTable for weekend brunch. Five staff consistently gave their 100% from preparation, presentation, which spoke volumes considering taste in food and thoughtful customer service.Few things caught me off guard: 1. There were leftover chia seeds mixture at the edge of the table. Thank goodness I managed to remove it upon seating. 2. Although there were mini fans intended to keep critters away from salad and desserts, there's one tiny bug that landed on top of a miniature pastry twice. 3. I also noticed dust accumulating on the wall. 4. I was seated near the exit and the sun shined on red door paper which illuminated a bright red from exit door. We weren't able to switch tables because all other seats were occupied during dine in reservation. I did my best to block the bright red illumination while taking photos of food and beverage. Best highlight was enjoying every sip of Zen State, Low Abv in between bites of Asian Crunch Slaw, Coconut Chia Seed Parfait, Taro and Haupia French Toast, Prime Rib Fried Rice, and Seafood Gumbo. I had to do a double take with ingredients. My beverage does not taste like a cocktail. Feels similar to a mocktail. A cocktail indeed. There's a restroom. Toilet stall with door is separate from sink and soap dispenser. Parking closest to Foodland Farms are for 1 hour only. Ideal to park on the opposite side B1 where stalls are spacious with no time limit.

Eleven's holiday brunch buffet is back for a limited time and they are extending their weekend brunch hours just for the holidays to Monday 12/23 and Tuesday 12/24! Located inside Foodland in Ala Moana shopping center, the restaurant offers an all you can eat buffet for $35 per person and $16 per child 10 and under. There is a time limit depending on the number in your party. Included with the buffet is coffee, hot tea, or iced tea. I thought the buffet line had a good variety of dishes and desserts and is affordable at $35 per person. However, we did have to wait awhile before the bisque and mushroom ravioli were replenished. I thought the desserts were just okay. I think a bread pudding would have made a good addition to the menu. Overall, the experience and service was good.

Honolulu Restaurant Week Meal #3Last time I came here was almost a year ago for the Christmas Yelp party....I forget about it since it's inside Foodland haha. Grateful to be reminded of Eleven once again for restaurant week. Whiskey Experience $24 per person 1) Ohishi Islay Cask Whisky Paired with Sake Cured Salmon, Coriander Cream Cheese, Pumpernickel 2) The Balvenie Doublewood 12yr Scotch Paired with Beef & Brioche, Truffle Oil, Tabasco Worcestershire Aioli3) Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Paired with Mini Corn Muffin, Cheddar, Bacon Jam 4) Whistlepig Piggyback Rye 6yr Paired with Bacon Candy (gf), Bourbon Molasses, Black Pepper This was a great deal considering you get a taste of more high quality whiskeys with some pupus alongside. I tried these pupus last year and I do feel they improved their recipe since it tasted better than I remember. We also ordered a side of Hokkaido scallops ($21) which were amazing! I highly recommend it. Very tender and flavorful.It was very busy on a Friday night so service was okay. They did the best they could with a full house. Easy parking, easy access, and fun nightcap.

Sunday Brunch in Honolulu, Hawaii...Located inside of Foodland Farms at Ala Moana Center, Eleven was advertising a buffet brunch for $35. We wanted to see for ourselves how it was...Maybe I expected too much... it's only breakfast food... eggs, breakfast meats, and pastries...The fried rice was pumped up with bacon flavor. The roast beef had a nice, savory crust on it! The pork, salmon, and chicken were on the dry side. I liked the green salad and fruit salad the best!The environment was really nice! The room felt spacious! However, the couple next to us was seated closeby... we could hear their conversation clearly!Service was kind of strange as we were reminded that we only had 90 minutes to dine. My hot green tea was only refilled with hot water once. Another server plopped some dessert (pumpkin cheesecake?) down in front of us... uh... maybe it was freshly made and she didn't want us to miss out on it???The bisque was really spicy to me. The shrimps were fresh. The Brussels sprouts and Breakfast potatoes were just ok. I didn't take any rolls... The bacon maple mini Donuts had an artificial flavor. Pumpkin Crunch French Toast wasn't spectacular...Well, I'm glad that I finally got a chance to go. It was really hard to get a reservation when this brunch first started. I booked this reservation online without any problems!

This place is a sweet surprise to us. The ambience is phenomenal. It is very cute perfect for intimate drink nigh-out. Thank you Cynthia for all your recommendations. We will surely be back to see you again!
