We met several friends at about 2:00pm, drank pineapple spear iced tea, had some really huge fried shrimp, great salad. Food was fresh and hot. Staff was exceedingly friendly. There was a LOT of cleaning going on so the aforementioned (previous messages) tour busses must have hit the place rather hard at noon. Highly recommended. GREAT that it is re-opened.... more

This was a favorite of my family's when I was a keiki and I visited it the other day. It is a great location, beautiful view and one of the better restaurants on this side of the island. We had the clams and shrimp pupu's, both garlic and the Thai chili, for appetizers and I had the Bahia Fish &... more

Crouching Lion Inn is a must on any trip to Oahu. My husband and I passed it on our way South, back to our hotel in the the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. It was so enchanting that we turned around to go back and grab a drink on the patio. Greeted by Alan, seated by Tanya, they treated us... more

We tip our hats to the new owners of this fine establishment!!! Food was reasonable and tasty, drinks are superb, atmosphere and staff are an extra bonus. From our romantic time alone together to the family dinner for 10, this is our first choice of places to experience. Highly recommended!!! more

We used to love the food here, but they have since gone through a couple changes in ownership. We were excited to see how the new owners were doing and went there on Valentine's Day. It was packed and they were in way over their head. They were not seating the patrons in order arrived (most like us had reservations).... more

We had heard of the Crouching Lion and had many freinds recommended but we did not have the best of experiences. The establishment has just re-opened after being closed for a period and it was evident that the new owners were struggling. Here is the problem. They are just off Kam highway, just short of halfway to North Shore so... more

The food was good, not spectacular it's the view and hearing and seeing the ocean, a great lunch stop...check out the rock formation on the left side behind the inn and you'll see how the inn got it's name. more

This place just recently reopened and I must say we stayed here in Oahu for 8 days and came here 3 times! The food was very good. Specifically the crab cakes, coconut shrimp, and the tuna salad with avocado. The Mahi was good but not great. The deserts were amazing! I am not a huge fan of coconut anything but... more

This is the only place in this town to eat....my reccomendation isto go out of town. This place doesn't attract the best cooking staff, so the food is either frozen or justbadly cooked. The server was nice and polite which was the only good thing about it. Bad food on a loud highway. Not really sure why anyone would eat... more
