    A bit disappointing. The portion size of flank steak in the $20.00 steak bowl is quite small. I wouldn’t order it again.

    It was a rainy night but so happy to be able to come, sit outside (because I brought my dog), in a modern setting, and still be covered from any rain, offered nice selections, have warm almost comfort food, tasty, be able to hear each other talk, be able to bring my dog in her carrier, free parking across the street, very nice servers/manager to talk with, give our suggestions. I recommend this cafe, even in the evening! Tho’ they are apparently known for their breakfasts and brunch, so I expect to return and try that! They were one of three restaurants featured in the Oct issue of “Honolulu” magazine. Do try them out!

    Service and ambiance was excellent. Food mediocre. Food wasn’t cold, but wasn’t warm either. Washu Gyu Loco Moco….. gravy and burger was bland. The vegetables it came with were good. Block away has an L&L that has away better loco moco, that gives a generous portion and at a reasonable price. The service and ambiance at L&L is excellent too.
    WESTMAN CafeResponded on October 19, 2026
    Dear Rudy, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. While we are glad to hear you enjoyed our service and atmosphere during your brunch visit, we are truly sorry that the Washu Gyu Loco Moco fell short of your expectations in temperature and flavor. We take your notes seriously and will share them directly with our kitchen staff to ensure better consistency.

    Went on a Saturday for brunch and reservations are definitely recommended! For a party of 3, we dined inside the restaurant and it was nice and cool. You have an option to dine outside as well but I imagine it getting a little warm later in the day. Service was great, fast and prompt. Our waitress was very nice too and made a recommendation for us on the soufflé pancake. We were all glad she did because it was delicious! Definitely something you want to get along with another protein tho. Latte was great! Tasted the coffee and wasn’t too watered down. I had the salmon toast and it was so good and refreshing. For being brunch/lunch spot in town, I felt the prices were justifiable compared to other places I have been to. Can’t speak too much on parking because we just parked under the Ward movie theatre side, but I’m not too sure if there is another structure you can park in. Also, with dine in there seems to be a 90-minute period you can stay there, but my party and I were out of there just a little over an hour. Otherwise, great experience! We all agreed we’d come back again.
    WESTMAN CafeResponded on October 19, 2026
    Dear Sonja, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and glowing review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your Saturday brunch with us, from the salmon toast and lattes to our signature soufflé pancakes. It’s great to hear that our team took wonderful care of your party and that your dining experience was smooth and delicious. Next time you’re in the area, we’d love for you to try our dinner service as well! We offer a completely different menu in a cozy, relaxed evening setting—perfect for another great meal with friends. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    My 2nd time at Westman this week. This time I had an outdoor table and it was much quieter. Food, again, was excellent and enjoyed items from the dinner menu instead of brunch. Had a light dinner of salad, truffle fries and a drink before the theater. I don't mean to sound so New Yorkish is but it was great.
    WESTMAN CafeResponded on October 19, 2026
    Dear Mahlon, Thank you so much for visiting us twice in one week and for sharing your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed our al fresco seating for a relaxing pre-theater evening dinner, as well as our truffle fries and salad. Our evening menu is designed to offer a light, cozy dining atmosphere, and we’re so glad it hit the spot for you. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great night out soon!
