Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Paia

We’ve been to Sonz steakhouse and plantation house. This was our 3rd meal of the trip and it was amazing. Get the lobster deviled eggs, cornbread, macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi and the pork tacos. Best restaurant of the trip so far.

Very popular spot on the beach so crowded and noisy. Had reservation and were seated quickly on arrival. Waiter was prompt, courteous and friendly. Menu selection good, prepared well in reasonable time. Mac crusted Mahi Mahi was outstanding. A bit pricey but not unusual for Kaanapali beachfront.

The menu is lovely and the service was great. We've always eaten in the back of the restaurant but this time sat in front --which was nice but different. The waitress alerted us that a party of 16 was coming in and the noise level might be more than we would wish. We had a fish appetizer that was really good and my food (green goddess chopped salad and pork belly bao buns) was excellent, but my companions both felt that their entree, while good, wasn't outstanding (macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi). The desserts (lilikoi creme brulee and banana cheesecake were terrific. We love the service and the food and will definitely return.

We had an amazing dinner last night at Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Our server Jonathan was very attentive and made some great drink suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed our venison and ahi carpaccio appetizers. Our main meals included the catch of the day, snapper and filet- all very good. Finished our meal with the delightful mud pie and espresso martinis. Wonderful meal and we were very happy with our entire experience.

We had the best dinner and excellent service. Thank you Sam for being such a great waiter.
