Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Hawaii

By far the best dinner of our trip! We dined out every night for five nights, and this experience was unmatched. The staff and our waiter went above and beyond with thoughtful recommendations and small surprises that made us feel truly appreciated. The atmosphere was just as remarkable—we booked our reservation to catch the sunset, and it was timed perfectly, adding to the experience. From the exceptional food to the outstanding service and even our stay at the SurfRider, every detail was simply perfect. I highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone.

We had our Christmas dinner here. The staff was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive and kind. There was a female staff member that came over and gave my 5 yr old a Christmas coloring page and crayons. The atmosphere is chill and nice. The food was good. The scallops were amazing. Recommend for sure.

What could be better than a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while you eat? The food! Our dinners were outstanding. My wife said it was the best steak she’d ever had, and my daughter said the same about here pasta. All four of our meals were excellent, no one was disappointed. My only complaint is that we were all too full to even share a piece of Hula pie!

This is my spouses first time to Hawaii. With it being Christmas Eve we were related to know we could still make last minute reservations for dinner after our other activity was interrupted by another guests personal emergency. Although it was “late” the staff was absolutely wonderful and service was quit and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend dining her with your family or for a special occasion. I would suggest that “on the 3rd” floor be added to the directions or information on all platforms.

Attentive servers and beautiful presentation of our meal. The quality and flavor of each of the ingredients is on display in abundance. The entire menu is full of surprises. Our picks tonight: Pork Belly Bao Buns, Porl and Crab Pillows, Mahi Mahi with Beurre Blanc, Beef Short Ribs, Coffee Crème Brûlée. The Mai Tai and Mojito were perfect, the wines outstanding. Mahalo!
