Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Waimānalo

We took my mother-in-law to Hula Grill to celebrate her birthday. There were six of us, and we ordered a variety of dishes to share: Caesar salad with grilled chicken, seafood chowder, guava BBQ chicken, Korean chicken wings, mushroom cashew ravioli, Localicious salad, and focaccia bread. The highlight of the meal was definitely the focaccia bread, paired with their famous chili pepper water mixed with olive oil—absolutely delicious! While the guava BBQ chicken was a bit dry and the mushroom cashew ravioli overly salty, the bread and our amazing waiter, Paco, truly made the evening special.

Had caprese salad and split the bolognese with my daughter. Portion was big enough to split, but it was so amazing, wish I had my own! 🤣

The waiter was exceptional and on top of everything for our table.

Original Roy’s at Hawaii Kai delivers an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly blends culinary excellence with a great sunset view. The food is nothing short of outstanding, showcasing bold flavors and impeccable presentation that highlight the restaurant’s Hawaiian fusion roots. The service was superb—attentive, friendly, and seamless from start to finish, making us feel truly valued. To top it all off, we were treated to a stunning sunset view from the second-floor dining room, which added an extra layer of magic to our evening. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a perfect meal in a beautiful setting. Oh, and by the way, don’t forget to save room for one of the soufflés. We had both the chocolate and the seasonal pumpkin. Both were delicious!

Absolutely amazing sunset dining experience. Food was delicious, ambiance was lovely, service was outstanding.
