Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Waimānalo

The food has been delicious both times we’ve eaten there.

As residents from the island's west side, we were glad we did not cancel our reservation. We were glad OpenTable checked because we were so busy that we forgot about it. It was a beautiful Hawaii day to drive and be at PBH. When asked if we wanted the brunch buffet, we went for it instead of our original plan to do ala carte. The place was not packed, so it was a relaxing time to try the buffet, and we enjoyed everything we picked. The servers were attentive and cheerful, not stressed by the holiday bustle. At the same time, we are an "easy to please" party. We did not fret when we could not be moved to a table with lesser foot traffic. Other notes - The buffet price was right, and parking was validated. The resort hotel had a festive holiday ambiance. The restaurant had a Japan-style restroom, which was to our liking as well.

Had an amazing experience at the House Without A Key, right on the ocean! The atmosphere were incredible—nothing beats dining with the sound of the waves and live Hawaiian music in the background. The food was just as impressive. We tried the chicken breast and mahi mahi and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ambiance was relaxed but still stylish, perfect for a sunset dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive, making it a perfect spot for a laid-back but memorable meal. Can’t wait to return!

What could be better than a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while you eat? The food! Our dinners were outstanding. My wife said it was the best steak she’d ever had, and my daughter said the same about here pasta. All four of our meals were excellent, no one was disappointed. My only complaint is that we were all too full to even share a piece of Hula pie!

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!!
