Craig Bunkley – General Manager

The Top of Waikiki is very fortunate that Craig comes with a lifetime of restaurant experience. His appreciation and love of food came as a child leaning to cook his mother’s special pan-fired chicken with gravy and his dad’s Kansas City style BBQ.

Craig has lived and worked in restaurants all over the United States including Kansas City, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, New York, and Seattle. Bristol Seafood Restaurant, Houlihan’s and McCormick and Schmick’s are some of the fine dining establishments he has managed during his career.

In 2004, Craig got an opportunity of a lifetime to move to Hawaii when he was offered the job as General Manager of Kincaid’s in Honolulu.

His take on the Top of Waikiki:

Craig is very thrilled to be working at a restaurant with such excellent cuisine. And, to also be working with Chef John Neff who has eclectic tastes and extremely high standards. He is excited to help with the rediscovery of Top of Waikiki within the Honolulu community and especially enjoys interacting with people. He loves making both his guests and team members happy and appreciates that in the restaurant business, he gets to meet new people every day.
