Book with PearlWhy go
Solera is the Oahu choice to prioritize when wine is a deciding factor, backed by a 2026 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence. Booking is easy, so it works well for a polished Waikiki dinner when the group wants drinks credibility without a difficult reservation chase.
About Solera
Solera in Oahu has a clearly 2026 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence. That recognition is the strongest confirmed reason to put it on a shortlist, especially when wine credibility is an important part of the meal.
Choose it for wine recognition, not a fully mapped menu
The useful read is simple: Solera is best understood through its confirmed Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence rather than through claims about cuisine style, chef direction, signature dishes, pricing, service format, or seating.
For a repeat Oahu visitor, Solera may make sense when the group wants a restaurant with a confirmed wine accolade.
Use it in a wider Oahu dining plan
For broader context, compare Solera with Aina Steak & Seafood, Arancino Beachwalk, Dean & Deluca Hawaii, The Artisan Loft, Quiora, and Sushi Sho. Other Oahu dining rooms can also help round out a trip depending on the meal style you want.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Oahu
Sushi Sho is the sharper choice for diners chasing a destination sushi format, while Solera makes more sense when the table wants a wine-led evening and easier planning. If the night is about precision and scarcity, try Sushi Sho first; if the night is about a more flexible polished dinner, choose Solera.
Quiora and Arancino Beachwalk are stronger cross-shops for Italian-leaning dining near Waikiki. Solera's advantage is the drinks signal, not a clearly defined cuisine lane, so it is the better fit when the bottle list drives the decision.
Dean & Deluca Hawaii, The Artisan Loft suits a private-feeling meal, while Aina Steak & Seafood is the clearer pick for a steak-and-seafood brief. Choose Solera when the group wants wine credibility with lower booking friction.
