From oceanfront spots to those situated in the jungle, the Aloha State has it all when it comes to remarkable restaurants. And while we love sky-high, luxury restaurants like Top of Waikiki as much as the next person, sometimes it’s nice to experience the opposite — cozy, underground eateries perfect for a relaxing dinner. Located in the heart of Waikiki, this steakhouse serves up some of the most mouthwatering food around… and it’s all found underground. Welcome to Chuck’s Cellar: let’s take a look around.
