Best American Restaurants in Waimānalo

Our reservation was at 8:45 pm and it was not super busy. It was a fun, relaxed ambiance and we enjoyed the live music! The food was great for the most part. I enjoyed the macadamia crusted mahi mahi. The pizzas were good. Shrimp appetizer was only so-so (but our waiter did warn us it wasn’t the best thing on the menu - my daughter just really wanted shrimp). The service was great. I wish I remembered our waiter’s name because he was really friendly and engaging and deserves a shout out. I would definitely recommend.

The atmosphere and food were even better than what I had seen in the photos—it was absolutely fantastic. However, it might have been a busy time, as the wait for the food was a bit long.

A friend took me there earlier tonight for my birthday. We got there during happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by the prices and number of items on the happy hour menu. It ends at 5:30 and lots of places end it at 5 so we started out with a good impression. She got the Kailua pig quesadillas and I got fish and chips. She ordered the green beans as well. Everything was delicious! Our waiter was friendly and was very familiar with the food and drinks on the menu. My cocktail was called something crush. Yummy! Overall a really great experience.

Being a Lone Ranger here on island at Christmas, I decided to take myself out to dinner. I sat at the bar with my reservation and ordered a real nice Cabernet to go with my absolutely delicious chicken Parmesan and spaghetti. The service itself was great. 3 different servers consistently attended to me which was very pleasing. The dessert finished off very well with my wine as well. The ambiance was very holiday visitor vibe but the staff was hosting at a great level. Thank you for a great ending to my solo Christmas Formaggio’s!

Such a gem. Have come here often over the years. The brunch service on the beach is among the top 3 on the island. Fabulous setting and our waiter Rajah could not have been better. From the time we arrived and were so well taken care of by the valet and host till we left with good bye’s from our waiter and the smiles and thoughtful parking of the valet attendant, it could not have been a better experience. Without requesting we had the best table on the lanai, a cozy spot right on the beach front in the shade of a beautiful tree. The food we ordered was delicious, including the just-out—of-the -oven-baked perfectly right sized three pastry dish with great toppings. The pineapple guava one was unusual and divine with the banana bread, though I enjoyed it on others too. The coconut based sauce on the ahi with lettuce and taro chips was also amazing. Definitely highly recommend!!
