I lucked out this weekend and was able to dine with friends at a media invite at Waikiki Leia showcasing their new "Nostalgic Cafe Lunch" menu. I had heard how pretty the grounds were and had been wanting to dine there for awhile now. The chapel and guesthouse are located on Monsarrat at the bottom of Diamond Head.
The new menu is much more robust and offers new dishes of omelet rice, seafood rice gratin, beef stew, and pork katsu sandwich in addition to their popular souffle pancakes. They are also offering new parfaits to their dessert menu. The dishes were delicious, but my favorites were the pork katsu sandwich and souffle pancakes.

Both indoor and outdoor dining tables are available
We were seated outside under an umbrella that provided enough shade. It was a cool and breezy day and made for a perfect lunch setting. The ambience is very relaxed and the service was great. This would be a great place for a ladies lunch or group gathering.
The restaurant is only open Saturdays and Sundays for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended.
