I was shocked to learn that the Holokai was owned by the same company when we spied the "Tiki's" logo on our drink coasters. I kept telling myself "this is probably just a bad day" at the Holokai - but bad service from the manager, hostess, busser, and both buffet chefs was a tad difficult to overlook. If anyone else heads over for dining I'd love to hear their impressions. Maybe the Holokai isn't cut out for breakfasts. I do want to say that we had a good time - a trip to Waikiki is always an experience! So much new construction - this was my first glimpse at the completed beachwalk stores. I was excited that I finally had time to drop by the army museum - but it is closed on Mondays! Next time... Henrik "VanTiki"
