Cheers to 21 years
Tiki’s Grill & Bar in Waikiki recently celebrated its 21st anniversary. Its commemoration event included pupu, a live chef station, signature drinks and live music on the lanai for sunset. Ticket sales benefited the Maui Food Bank.
The restaurant is known for its iconic tiki décor, live music, sunset views and, of course, local-style dishes. Popular options include kiawe smoked fish arancini, ahi tartare stack, macadamia nut-crusted fish, braised lamb and jumbo shrimp, and venison Bolognese made with moringa pappardelle.
