Leaving for Hawaii tomorrow

Quick trip for the weekend. The wife is running in the Honolulu marathon Sunday. I'm playing golf at Ko'Olina on Friday and Kapolei on Sunday afternoon while the wife is at the spa. Both of those are near our hotel. Saturday will be spent at Pearl Harbor.
And that's the extent of our plans. We arrive at 2:30ish tomorrow afternoon so we'll stop by the Expo and pick up her race packet on the way to the hotel. We'll probably be too worn out to do much else other than hang out at the pool/beach.
So I'm looking for recs on a Friday afternoon activity and food throughout the stay. We likely aren't going to leave the Oahu. TIA.

Sunset at the House without a Key at the Halekulani Hotel on Waikiki.
You don't need a reservation, just tell them you want drinks and Pupus but get there about an hour or so before sunset for a good seat and be cautious with the Mai Tais.
On Friday nights they do Fireworks at 7:45 down by the Hilton Lagoon but can probably be seen from all over.

Nicos Pier 38 is great for casual local dining. You won't want to walk there but ubers are pretty easy and shouldn't be more than $15 or so. There is a fairly easy bus route to learn to save some cash but if you're only going to be there a couple days it may not be worth it.

I know it's touristy and everybody does it, but just walk along Waikiki Beach. Put your feet in the sand of one of the most famous beaches in all of the world.
Stop by the Royal Hawaiin and get a drink from the Mai Tai Bar with Diamond Head as the back drop.
Stop at Duke's for some over priced drinks and apps

The Yard House off off Waikiki about a black but has good food and really good craft beer. SO much good craft beer down there...

I second nicos. Also Alan Wong has a restaurant inside the ala moana mall that's an offshoot of his main place but is more casual.

Going to House without a Key tonight. Is there a view of the fireworks from there?
We're staying at Aulani, west of Honolulu in Kapolei. So tough to do too much around there. Aulani actually has a ton to do though. Enjoying the relaxation part.

You MAY not be able to see them from where you are sat but i think you can walk down towards the beach and see them from there if not. My guess is the music will not be playing during fireworks show to give everyone a chance.
Coco Shrimp are real good and the Mai Tai's (yes, it's pricey but be cautious I had two was set off) are the best I've had.
The band starts before sunset and the earlier you are there the better seat you'll get. The hotel (and lobby) is amazing, I waned to just sit in the lobby and take a nap.
shite...just noticed it's 6 am here and 1 am there so you're already either seen them or missed them. That 5 hour time difference got me. If you did go, let me know what you thought.

HWaK was fantastic. Thanks for the rec. really good. Got there around 5:20. Sunset around 6. Really good table. Left at 7:30 and walked about 300 yds down the beach to a small pier to see the fireworks... once you've seen Disney fireworks all others seem disappointing. Haha. We are officially fireworks snobs.
Pearl Harbor this morning. Leaving now. Thanks again!
