Sunday Club Brunch at Alohilani Resort in Waikiki was different with Brunch, Bubbles and Beats. First off we loved the venue inside the Longboard Club which is past the hotels hip pool area. The Club is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating. We went for an outdoor table which is immersed in some pretty loud music "Beats" played by DJ Keala Kennelly (DJKK) who is a famous big-wave surfer named Female Surfer of the Year by ESPN. I took some time to talk with Keala and found she was a super cool person who was raised on the Island of Kauai. I challenged her to play some 80's rock and at first she said that it doesn't have the beat for a DJ. Minutes later Sweet Child O Mine by Guns and Roses was playing. Loved it! We settled in and went inside to see what the $50 "Brunch" had to offer. We were a bit surprised that there really was not many selections and thought that there would be quality over quantity. While the quality was good, there was nothing that really would make us come back again. Pretty basic spread with Eggs, Bacon (which is amazing), Fish (which was fishy), Rice, and Potatoes. I did like the Beet Salad and we found none of the desserts desirable. My Daughter did like the Acai soft serve. Really disappointed with the food here. Now lets get onto the "Bubbles". For an additional $30 per person you get all you can drink. We went for the Mixed Mimosa's. After two of these sweet drinks I asked if I could just have straight champagne. The Bloody Mary's with the Candied Smoked Bacon was good. Service from entire staff was excellent and worth coming back for. Bummed I could not give the Sunday Club Brunch a better review. While I loved the space and bubbles, just would not want to return for the food. #bummed
