However because there were no private parties booked, this area was open to general dining service on our visit, and where we were seated. Here above is the private room on the Makai-Ewa wing of the restaurant. Opened since spring 2013 and now The Signature, opulence abounds throughout the 375-seat restaurant itself, that spans all except the entire top perimeter of Ala Moana Hotel, located right next to the shopping center.Īlong with the main dining room (shown above) that spans the entire Diamond Head side, Signature also features three private dining rooms, with two on both ends. In a word: breathtaking.įrom the moment you step into the elevator lobby on the 36th floor, to the time you’re seated and greeted with bird’s eye panoramic views of Honolulu from Ewa, Mauka, Makai and Diamond Head, with Waikiki and Ala Moana beach flanking both sides, you’ll know you’re someplace special.īefore continuing, you may recall this space was formerly Nicholas Nickolas, then became Aaron’s, then remained vacant for long period of time. If you think local boy and restaurateur extraordinaire Peter Kim pulled out all the stops when he opened the uber-chic Liliha Bakery on Nimitz, wait until you see how he’s transformed the space atop the Ala Moana Hotel into The Signature Prime Steak & Seafood.
