Wailulu Bar & Grill will begin receiving Guests on December 17, 2025. And, it looks like those who dine there are in for a treat!

The restaurant will be a casual walk-up pool bar and grill. While you are there, you can check out the new Moana splash pad!

There will be plenty of delicious eats for lunch and dinner. Some of the cultural highlights include Sweet Potato Hummus with Breadfruit Tostones, Spiced Ham Musubi, and Chocolate Cake with the essence of Kona coffee.

For dessert, indulge in a DOLE Whip Sundae with hibiscus meringue and passion fruit crispies. Who can resist?

While there won’t be a full breakfast menu, there will be grab-n-go options available for breakfast in the mornings. This will include pastries and even specialty coffees. And, if you love the famous Pineapple-Coconut Bread at ‘Ohana’s breakfast, get excited because you can get it here too!

Dining at Wailulu Bar & Grill

Wailulu Bar & Grill is (currently) a walk-up bar and grill. Advanced dining reservations are not needed to enjoy this dining experience.

Diners will enjoy indoor seating surrounded by modern Polynesian-themed decor. Or you can also sit outdoors with views of Seven Seas Lagoon!

You will not need ADR for Wailulu Bar & Grill

Overall, it sounds like a nice addition to the Polynesian now that the tower is opening. It will help to prevent overcrowding at Capt. Cooks and even Pineapple Lanai.
