Restaurants near Kahana Valley State Park

We had an amazing late afternoon lunch on Thanksgiving Day with our entire family. The food was absolutely amazing! We had the lobster and crab macaroni and cheese as a side and the lobster crab rangoons for an appetizer, These were the notable dishes for the group. Absolutely wonderful. I had the short rib entree which was excellent. I had a spicy mai tai as well. All in all an outstanding meal. But an outstanding meal is only as good as the service. We had Abby as our server and she was topnotch. The best server we had while we were in Oahu. She was so friendly, she made great recommendations and was attentive without being intrusive. When we go back we will certainly ask for Abby. If you are in Oahu this place legit. If you are staying in the North Shore this place is a must.

Second time here for Thanksgiving and because we were there for lunch instead of dinner, it was truly a winner experience. We arrived a little early and checked in. We were seated just a couple of minutes after other reservation time. Slightly slower than dinner last year because we were on the bar side versus the main area. So it was a little quieter and leisurely. Server Cody was awesome. He was quick and efficient and friendly. Checked back on us at all the appropriate times. Three of us had the turkey dinner plate. Two of them hadn’t had it before and were impressed with how juicy the turkey was, the quantity of turkey, and the taste. We asked for and were brought extra cranberry relish. Two had the 12 oz prime rib and were very pleased with it. Prepared as ordered, medium rare for both. They ate it all so it must have been good. May not be expensive restaurant cuts, but for the price it’s always good, tender, tasty outer layer, juicy middle. Two minor things - cranberry relish was pretty tart. Would recommend a change in recipe for next year. Not enough gravy, but if course they bring more on request. I plan on returning next year - Black Angus is an excellent option that’s right in between getting a catered turkey package and dining in at really upscale restaurants, where turkey isn’t something I would order.

Excellent service, beautiful view of ocean at sunset. The restaurant was loud because it was busy but we were still able to carry on a conversation. The live music was amazing! Food was great, especially the dessert. The Mai Tai was fantastic. We will be back!

We had an excellent experience. The food was delicious (filet mignon) and the server was personable and attentive. I would highly recommend! In fact, we went back two nights later with the rest of our party.
