When the sun sets over Waikīkī, the right dinner can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. At ShoreFyre Fresh Grill & Bar, we've built our dinner experience around exactly that — bold island flavors, handcrafted cocktails, live music, and an open-air atmosphere that feels unmistakably Waikīkī. Here's everything you need to know about doing dinner right at ShoreFyre.
The Dinner Menu — Bold Flavors, Island Style
ShoreFyre's dinner menu is built for people who want something more than a forgettable hotel meal — fresh ingredients, generous portions, and dishes with real character.
The ShoreFyre Ribeye is the anchor of the dinner menu: a 10oz Certified Angus Beef cut finished with crispy fried onions and your choice of two sides. If you're feeling indulgent, go for the Surf N Turf — the same ribeye paired with either five Kahuku-style garlic shrimp or 4oz of fresh ahi. It's the kind of plate that makes you slow down and appreciate where you are.
For something a little lighter but just as satisfying, the Kahuku Garlic Shrimp — ten large North Shore shell-on shrimp cooked in the classic Kahuku style — is a local favorite that earns its reputation. Or try the Koa Chicken: two juicy marinated thighs topped with avocado and mango salsa, served over coconut rice. Fresh, bright, and distinctly Hawaiian.
Prefer something with a little heat? The Blackened Hawaiian Fish Tacos feature the catch of the day with mango salsa and sriracha aioli — an easy dinner choice that punches well above its price.
Cocktails & the Bar — Start the Evening Right
A great Waikīkī dinner deserves great drinks. ShoreFyre's bar program leans into the tropics without being kitschy — these are real cocktails made with care.
The Hawaiian Mai Tai — white and spiced rum, fresh pineapple juice, orgeat, lemon and orange juice, topped with a Mahina dark rum float — is the kind of drink that tastes like it was made for this latitude. The OG Blue Hawaii (rum, vodka, blue curaçao, pineapple, and fresh lemon) is a classic for a reason. And if you want something a little more refreshing, the Coconut Mojito with fresh pineapple and coconut cream is a perfect dinner opener.
Draft beers and a full wine list round things out for those who prefer to keep it simple.
The Atmosphere — Open Air, Live Music & Kalākaua Views
The setting is a big part of what makes dinner at ShoreFyre special — and the two locations offer genuinely different vibes.
At our International Market Place location, dinner is served on an open-air lanai overlooking Kalākaua Avenue — the main strip of Waikīkī. It's an elevated perch with a slight ocean view and a front-row seat to the energy of the street below: people strolling, music drifting up, the city lighting up as the evening unfolds. It's the kind of dinner atmosphere that feels effortless and alive.
At Koa Ave, the outdoor seating puts you right in the neighborhood — a more intimate, local feel that's perfect for a relaxed evening meal away from the main tourist corridor.
Both locations feature live music from local artists throughout the week. Check the live music calendar before you come — dinner with a live set playing in the background is one of those Waikīkī experiences that's hard to replicate anywhere else.
Dinner Into the Night — Fyre By Night at IMP
One thing that sets the International Market Place ShoreFyre apart: dinner doesn't have to end at dinner. Wednesday through Saturday, the restaurant transforms into Fyre by Night — live DJs, dancing, and bottle service from 10PM to 2AM. It's the smoothest possible transition from a great meal to a great night out, no Uber required.
