SWIM Poolside Dining in Waikiki

I had to go to two seminars at the Hyatt. I was so glad that I found this place for lunch. First of all, my waitress was amazing. I was thankful that she was the one that served my food. I wished I got her name so I could give her the recognition she deserves. She is a local lady and works during lunch around 12:30. She made sure I got my food right away and I wasn't late going back to the seminar. Next, the food was delicious. I wish I took a picture of my scrumptious burger. The meat was well seasoned. I also got the Kalua pork flat beard... Wow wow wow. Really delicious! I don't like pineapple on my food, BUT this was perfect. I'm bringing my family here during lunch when I have a staycation in Waikiki. Here is another plus... You get a Kamaaina discount. I'm looking forward to another seminar so I can eat here again. Don't hesitate to eat here and ask for the Kamaaina discount.

Nice place to hang and relax in Waikiki. Bar top, nice lounge chairs surrounding the smallish pool or tables to just eat and talk story.

Swim which the name for this pool area offers a Happy Hour menu with good prices, considering your in Waikiki. Only 3 beers on tap (well chosen, a least for me). I was surprised Mai Tai HH was only $6, that's almost unheard of in Waikiki.

Being a bar fly like some people I know, you know who you are, bartender interaction was good, friendly. We ordered a Paniolo Ranch Fries ($6 HH) and the Beach Burger & Brew ($15 HH). The craft draft beer counted as the brew, good deal. Where can you get Elysian Space Dust IPA for $5 HH, No Place! Happy Hour is from 4-6pm. I would come back to her just for this beer, and maybe the HH Pupu. On our second visit I ordered the HH Poke Nachos and the Famous Garlic Chicken both were excellent. Don't expect large portions, your paying Happy Hour prices. Sharing 2-4 dishes between two people is perfect along with some cool libations.

The Truffle Aioli was a nice touch in the burger, we order all the toppings for the fries on the side, that was a good idea for those who don't like it loaded. Flat screen TV's located all around the bar area, great watch Sports and kick back a few.

Just a warning, if you miss Happy Hour your going to pay the normal Waikiki prices for the drinks. I won't say how much, but you could buy a six pack for the amount you pay for one beer.

What can I say. Beautiful views from the pool. Pool temp was great and the hot tub was better. During the day, this is the place to be if your not on the beach or exploring the island. The vibe inside swim is amaze. My husband and I had the pleasure of being served by Micheal and he was awesome. He was willing to accommodate and able to give advice about the hot after hour spots on the island. Had a blast and will definitely come again for the impeccable service, accommodations, and views.

We ate here a couple of times while in town. Always great food and friendly service. We tried quite a few items...

Try the club...it is amazing. Fresh, fluffy bread toasted. Bacon and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. It is delicious.

The fish tacos are also great. Good chunk of fresh, grilled fish. Great slaw. The pork tacos are great too.

The prime rib was great. Huge portion. Great meat. Yummy potatoes and beans.

Their poke two ways was delicious! Loved the fresh fish and yummy flavors. Great avocado.

The mai thais we're the best we had while in Hawaii. The bartender was great and very attentive and helpful. The pina coladas are also good.
