Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Kalihi-Palama

First time visitors. Excellent service, thank you Princess Joy. Delicious food! Ambience was perfect!!!

WOW! 5 STARS all the way around!! From the moment we sat down and took in the amazing view to then meeting our server Sarah we knew we were in for an amazing dining experience. Everything Sarah recommended to us was delicious!! The cocktails so refreshing! The entrees mouth watering. I had the flat iron steak special and my husband had the ginger pesto catch of the day. Both entrees were cooked to perfection with the best flavors! They were DELICIOUS! Sarah was an absolute delight!! Her smile lit up the room every time she interacted with us. She provided 10 star customer service! We can’t wait to return in late February to enjoy another amazing dining experience and you bet we will be asking for Sarah!!

Totally fantastic food and drinks. Imitated but not equaled. The service was unbelievable. Recommendations were spot on. Warmth was touching. Felt like you were coming home.

Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!

Sat in the back lanai, which had a cozy intimate atmosphere. Food is always good here at O'Kims. Truffle Mandoo is a fave; stone bibimbap hit the right spot, especially with the purple rice substitution. The Oxtail Mandoo Kook Soo was also unique and delicious.
