Restaurants near Nuuanu Valley Rain Forest

We celebrated our 15 year Anniversary last night. Although we were seated at the counter, it was still an amazing experience and we honestly would choose it again. Our bartender Clark was very attentive, very knowledgeable and provided amazing pairing recommendations. The food was to live for and we thoroughly felt like we celebrated 15 years the way it should be celebrated. 1000% highly recommend. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

We enjoy going to Goen for some really good food. The staff is always great and it has a great ambiance. It is a bit pricey, so get ready to spend a bit. But overall, very good!

We are supper diners and we recommend making reservations. They get busy. With reasonable expectations anything you order will be satisfying. I wouldn't say that they are a budget venue, however, fair for what you receive. They always have a chef special for steaks and seafood as well as a catch of the day entee. Their cheese and salumi platter is a great start for 4 guests with cocktails. Hope you enjoy!

Chef Terry is lovely and her food delicious. Only disappointment was with server taking so long to get our entree order we missed out on the chicken (which was ordered out of existence, though we were seated right at opening). He also forgot my husband’s drink order. Mocktails were tasty!

Our go to for brunch and dinner. Their brunch is absolutely amazing, we ordered one of each main item and couldn’t decide what we loved the most. Everything was so delicious, I’m still craving the Gouda grits and kalua pork hash! For dinner we always over order apps and salads since you can’t go wrong with their cheese board, the various dips (go straight for the dip trio you won’t be disappointed!) ceviche, and bravas. Beet salad and Caesar are amazing, followed by the oxtail and lamb. Don’t pass on the smores either, perfect ending to a great meal.
