As the calendar flips to December 31st, Honolulu transforms into an epicenter of celebration, and nowhere more so than the Leahi Lounge at the Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort. Located right on Kalakaua Avenue, just steps from Honolulu’s iconic beaches and vibrant city life, this New Year’s Eve dinner offers a unique blend of local flavors and international flair in one of Hawaii’s most dynamic settings.
Leahi Lounge is set inside the Sheraton Waikiki, a landmark on Honolulu’s famed beachfront. The lounge embodies the relaxed yet refined spirit of the island, pairing ocean views with exquisite cuisine and warm hospitality. This NYE event promises more than just a meal—it’s a full sensory journey combining fresh seafood, traditional Hawaiian ingredients, and global tastes, thoughtfully curated for a festive evening.
Guests can expect a lavish buffet featuring standout specialties like a sushi station showcasing house special maki, including spicy ahi and salmon tempura rolls, alongside a poke bar bristling with freshly prepared ahi tataki and hamachi masago poke. The seafood experience continues with a cocktail shrimp and oyster bar, perfect for savoring the Pacific’s freshest offerings right in the heart of Waikiki.
Complementing the seafood selections is an array of salads such as Korean chap chae noodle salad and smoked rainbow beet salad, infusing the dinner with freshness and vibrant color. For those craving comfort foods, the hot station serves up dishes like boneless kalbi beef short ribs glazed in soy and kim chee, adobo-braised chicken with kabocha puree, and local-style stuffed Kona kampachi, a nod to the region’s rich fishing heritage.
Dessert is an equally indulgent affair, from creamy matcha pudding and traditional halo halo tapioca panna cotta to Portuguese sweet bread pudding that perfectly caps the feast. Throughout the evening, freshly brewed coffee and an inviting atmosphere set the stage for a relaxed celebration.
After dining, guests receive complimentary access to “The Dreaming in Pink,” an exclusive New Year’s Eve event hosted at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel’s Monarch Ballroom just across the street. The event highlights the best in Hawaiian nightlife with live music and a welcoming crowd ringing in the new year in style.
