Steak and Seafood Dinner in Honolulu: What to Order at Pier 38

Planning a steak and seafood dinner in Honolulu? At Upstairs at Pier 38, our menu brings together seafood, premium cuts of beef, and island-inspired flavors prepared with rustic French techniques.


We're located on the second floor at Pier 38, overlooking Honolulu Harbor. Whether you're joining us for a date night or a special occasion, knowing what's on our menu can help you choose a dinner that suits your appetite.



Start With the Seafood


Seafood is an important part of our dinner menu. Our culinary team works with Chef Nico Chaize to bring French-inspired preparations and island flavors together.


If you're deciding what to order, these are some of the seafood dishes featured on our dinner menu.


Blackened Ahi


Our Blackened Ahi is served with citrus beurre Nantais, toasted coconut gastrique, crispy potatoes, and sautéed vegetables.


The citrus and coconut components give this dish a distinctly island-inspired direction, while the beurre Nantais reflects the French influence on our menu.


It's an option for guests who enjoy ahi and prefer a composed entrée with accompanying vegetables and potatoes.


Misoyaki Sea Bass


For a different seafood preparation, our Misoyaki Sea Bass comes with daikon purée, white rice, bok choy, and miso caramel.


The combination of miso and caramel brings a savory-sweet element to the dish, while the rice and vegetables round out the plate.


Cioppino


If you're looking for a seafood-centered dinner with several components, consider our Cioppino.


Our menu lists fish, lobster tail, black tiger shrimp, scallops, and mussels in a tomato broth.


Unlike a single-fish entrée, cioppino brings several types of seafood into one dish. It's worth considering if you want a broth-based preparation instead of a plated fish entrée.


We also offer a Catch du Jour selection, so ask our team about the day's preparation when you visit.



Prefer Steak? Explore Our Beef Entrées


Steak is just as important to our dinner menu as seafood. We offer several cuts, each with its own accompaniments.


14 oz USDA Prime New York Strip


Our New York Strip is listed as USDA Prime and comes with your choice of garlic butter or Café de Paris butter.


The cut is an option for guests who prefer a substantial steak dinner and want to choose the butter served with it.


16 oz USDA Choice Ribeye


Our ribeye is listed as USDA Choice and also offers a choice between garlic butter and Café de Paris butter.


Ribeye is generally known for its marbling, making it worth considering if you prefer a richer cut.


6 oz Petite Filet


For a smaller portion, our Petite Filet is served with sautéed mushrooms and Bordelaise sauce.


This entrée offers a different preparation from our New York Strip and ribeye, particularly if you prefer a steak served with a sauce rather than a choice of butter.


If you're deciding between our cuts, consider the portion size and accompanying sauce. Our team can help you understand the menu before ordering.

Complete Your Dinner With French-Inspired Sides


A steak or seafood entrée doesn't have to be the entire meal.


Our menu includes French-inspired dishes such as French Onion Soup with Gruyère and Old World Lobster Bisque with a puff pastry bâton.


For an additional side, you can choose from dishes such as Gratin Dauphinois, Sautéed Mushrooms, or Crispy Truffle Potatoes.


The French influence appears throughout these preparations, from the gratin to the butter-based sauces accompanying our entrées.


We also offer dessert selections, including Basque Cheesecake and Chouquette with haupia whip, lime gastrique, and coconut streusel.


You can review the available courses and current selections on our menu.



A Steak and Seafood Dinner Beside Honolulu Harbor


The setting is part of the experience at Upstairs at Pier 38.


Our restaurant overlooks Honolulu's working harbor, offering a waterfront setting away from Waikiki's resort dining areas.


It's a place to consider for an anniversary dinner, an evening with your partner, or a meal with visiting friends.


For guests planning a celebration with a larger group, we also offer private dining and event options, including an enclosed private dining room and semi-private space.
