Chart House Waikīkī, known for its sunset views, local entertainment and lively ambiance, recently launched a new late-night menu.
The “Last Wave” late-night menu is served nightly from 9 to 10:30 p.m. at the bar for dine-in only. This menu is not available for takeout and features exclusive dishes, according to executive chef Randy Manuel.
“Other places close early now,” he says. “After the Covid-19 pandemic, the late-night crowd is gone. We tried to create something cheap for Waikīkī so people can go out for a late-night dinner for the price of lunch.”
The late-night menu features plate-lunch style entrees like boneless prime barbecue short ribs ($24), steamed fish with ginger and soy ($22), Hawaiian chopped steak ($22) and lilikoʻi barbecue chicken ($20). Plates include a choice of starch — brown or white rice or mashed potatoes — and mac salad.
“The prime boneless short ribs are the most popular,” Manuel says. “All late-night plates come with the macaroni salad; we make our own mac salad.”
Customers who want to dine earlier can take advantage of the eatery’s Surf Break three-course menu, which costs $61 per person. It’s offered daily from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The Surf Break menu includes a starter — Caesar salad, chopped salad or cup of clam chowder — entrée and dessert.
Entrees include scallop and shrimp scampi, grilled or baked swordfish, Paniolo baby back ribs, fire-grilled New York steak and Island-style jidori chicken.
The baby back ribs and scallop and shrimp scampi are especially popular, according to Manuel, who also notes that the swordfish features an updated presentation.
“The shrimp scampi is one of our specialties for pasta,” he says. “The Island chicken has a housemade sauce; instead of regular teriyaki chicken, I made a lilikoʻi reduction.”
For desserts, choose from crème brulee, sorbet of the day or New York style cheesecake.
