Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Kawaihae

We had a 5-star experience at Meredia! We were celebrating both Valentine’s Day and our wedding anniversary. Amazing view of the sunset made for the perfect romantic backdrop. Indiana was our server and her upbeat personality definitely delivered the aloha. We followed her food recommendations, which were tailored to our gluten-free dietary needs, and enjoyed a wonderful meal featuring scallops for my wife and paella for me. Afterwards we shared an absolutely fantastic cheesecake for dessert. Five stars across the board- highly recommended!

As Always, Tommy Bahamas wonderful place by Fantastic Management of Johnny and Jason. Staff super Friendly and to make it extra special on Valentines Day we meet the famous Sam Choy restauranteur along with TV Host /John Veneri. Food always well prepared and tasty. Mahalos - Noriko and Dave

My wife and I had a very nice dinner at The Copper Bar. Her Mahi was better than my Butterfish. The view is dramatic because of the high ceilings. The waitress did a good job, but had a lot of tables to manage. The singer and hula dancer were excellent. Although we think Meridian and Manta are superior, we certainly had a nice time.

Beautiful open aired covered and uncovered dining areas with beautiful ocean and sunset views. My sweet curry shrimp appetizer and macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi were excellent. Service was courteous and attentive. Live entertainment (piano and saxaphone) was very nice background music. Expensive--$190 for one person.

Meal was outstanding from start to finish! The tomato appetizer was unbelievably good. Ahi as usual was outstanding and the Duo and my scallops and shrimp wow! The show stopper was the mushroom soufflé - so so good and bread used with the sauce crazy yummy. Apologize I don’t remember our servers name but her enthusiasm and spot on meal suggestions was so perfect. We’ve eaten at Merrimans for years, but every time we are there in Waimea it’s perfect t in every way!
