Arden Waikiki offers contemporary Hawaii cuisine. The flavors and ingredients in their dishes are American and Asian. The staff were friendly and since the restaurant is still new, we asked our waiter for food recommendations. My favorites were the mentaiko dip, Kauai prawns, and roasted cabbage. The steak fries are good for picking up the mentaiko dip but I wanted thinner cut fries. The prawns were grilled so it had the smokey flavor and since they were cut in half, it was easy to remove the meat from the shell. The roasted cabbage reminded me of a dish at Senia but this had an Asian flavor to it and I loved the slight crunch to the cabbage. The prices are high with dished ranging from $10 - $40 and a few items at market price.
The interior of the restaurant is spacious and well lit. If you get a table by the window, you'll enjoy a nice view of Kapiolani Park. I recommend making a reservation a few days in advance. You can also do walk in and get seated at the bar. For parking, Lotus Honolulu Hotel offers valet parking for $7. You could also do self-parking in the metered spaces along Kapiolani Park near the tennis courts. The metered parking is free after 6 pm.
