There is something for everyone in your family at this restaurant. One night when we came they actually had live wasWe had pizza and Caesar salad. honestly, it was very good and very filling. It's a great atmosphere and the staff is phenomenal.We live in the neighborhood and this will be one of our local spots. If don't miss out..

I hate leaving bad reviews but it seems I'm not alone in what I experienced. We paid for our meal in full and still left a tip for the service. I probably won't return to this establishment.ServiceService was bad. They're clearly understaffed, but they're inattentive and forgetful. Our waitress offered to get us cream for coffee and never returned. Once we received our food, she never came back. We had to pay for our food at the host. FoodThe food was bland and greasy. Dishes also didn't have all the items in the description such as sour cream or salsa for the burrito. Potatoes were so dry that it was obvious they were old. The coffee was the best item.VibeThe restaurant was nice at a glance, but the seats and tables were dirty. The chairs had bird poop on them because it has an open patio. Birds fly throughout the restaurant and hang out on the tables and chairs.

So...you start by ordering your food at the cashiers/hostess desk. After ordering you take your table number and silverware to the open table of your choosing. For the three meals and one iced latte we paid around $68 total, before tip. I didn't tip until after the meal, and why would you, no service has been rendered. We did tip after the meal.The music is about average, I could hold a conversation with my daughters if they weren't stuck on their phones. It took several minutes to get the water and iced latte we ordered. The food came out a little after the drinks. Everything tasted good, I really enjoyed the bulgogi eggs benedict, I thought the hollandaise was a touch bland but overall good. The potatoes weren't anything special, so if that's something you weigh your breakfast decisions on you might consider trying something besides the potatoes. My girls liked their respective versions of French toast. The guava French toast had a nice flavor but not overly sweet. Overall we would come back to Kayak Cafe. We usually go around the corner to Aloha Kitchen but the line was over an hour and I wanted to eat sooner. Mahalo Kayak Cafe, see you again in the future!

Decided to check out Kayak Cafe after a few other places in the area were too crowded. Located right on that main intersection of Ala Moana Bl and Ena Road across the old Wailana Coffee house. Kayak Cafe is renovated and nicely furnished open air covered dining. We ordered and paid for breakfast in the front then sat ourselves and they brought the food to the table. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. We ordered a vanilla latte, biscuits and gravy and veggie omelette. Food was pretty good and portions were good. Overall nice breakfast in Waikiki. The only negative thing is that I thought it was awkward that we paid and tipped out on our bill Before receiving any service or food. I would have preferred to pay after receiving our food and experiencing the service received. Other than that it was a pretty good breakfast!

Kayak is an open air Cafe with plenty of seating. They have an extensive breakfast menu and the prices are good. They offer 3 different mimosas as well as a variety of coffee drinks and juices. I had the vegetable eggs bene and my friend had the pork eggs bene. Both were yummy. What I liked was they actually grill the English muffin so it is nice and toasty. The servers had some difficulty with the English language so it was a bit difficult to communicate. They also have parking which is a plus. You have to pay but not too expenive.

The lasagna was tasty albeit a bit chilled in the center. It was a large piece so I ate the warmed edges and took the rest home. The bolognese was warm but not hot. Flavors were okay. I would have liked a bit more pizazz aim the sauce. I would try breakfasts or burgers next time.

Service was great but I'm not sure if someone forgot to wear a hair net or what. I found a piece of hair in my salad and had to go tell the person. I ate a lot of it and it definitely had me cringe . The salad was great overall which was upsetting! I did get a refund though but they should do better in the kitchen.

Pretty nice located cafe wherr you can self be seated so many birds around. They have happy hour from Monday-Friday . We have order the aci bowl and egg sandwich, 2 mimosas and coffee the food and service was decently okay. Keep in mind that once ready to pay you have to go to the front to pay. There are many restaurants around the premises to chose from as well. Parking can be quite difficult.

We came here for breakfast around 9am because everywhere we went was packed and had long waits. This restaurant was fairly empty. We sat outside and had a nice view of the park across the street. The food was surprisingly good. The service was nice, we just didn't get seen at our table very often. My main gripe would be having to pay and have the "tip" option before we even sit down to eat our food. How am I supposed to tip if I don't carry cash and I haven't received any service yet? Other then that, this was a good breakfast spot

Returned back because we enjoyed our previous experience however, we didn't have the same experience. The outdoor seating is very nice to enjoy Hawaii's beautiful weather. I tried the veggie burger this time and yuk, the patty was not good. My friend had the spaghetti and said it was good. While the server seemed nice, she was not efficient at all. We spent most of our time waiting for our drinks, food and bill than anyone should ever have to wait. I had the pizza before and if I return, will stick to that. There was another waiter who seemed pretty efficient, but they also seemed to be very short staffed. I guess this place is hit or miss.
