Best Brunch Restaurants in Waimānalo

The service was really good. If dining when they have live music, if given a choice, I recommend eating on the lanai so you can hear your own conversation more easily. All the food was excellent. Starting with the free, warm, light and airy popovers with strawberry butter…yum! Seconds are free, too; the only danger here is filling up on them before your entree arrives! The delicious truffle fries have the most truffle flavor compared to all others that I’ve tasted anywhere; they’re served perfectly seasoned with crisp edges, and a garlic aioli on the side. And the Shrimp and Crab Louie salad is so good too, with a good amount of crab on it, and 3 huge, perfectly-done shrimp, that I always end up getting it as my entree. I always want to try other things which sound good too, but don’t want to give up the chance to eat this again. I guess to try other things, I just need to come here more often, lol.

The food, and service is excellent. My wife and I dined at Hoku's before and we decided to introduce them to the restaurant and their feedback was they haven't tasted food that great. Matter of fact one of our guest remarked that "...even the cruise ship don't have food this good." We'll be back.

A rate find for locals. My 90 years old aunt called her Mac Attack the best ever and my daughter loved her hard-to-find gluten free pancakes. My waffles and chicken dish was wonderful but I took home two thirds of it. The portions are huge. Valet parking is available and the restaurant validates the cost.

We had our annual gathering at Basalt and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was perfect for a fun catch up among friends. The food was on point and delicious. The Broccoli Bisque and Miso Cod were the table favorites, however, everything was delicious and the desserts, oh my! sinfully tasty. The staff was attentive, and even being served by the manager on duty, who also checked on us here and there. Mahalo to Managers, Kaulana & Ron, Server Matt & his team, and of course, Chef Tim. 5+ stars! Highly recommend! We will be back for sure!

Gorgeous views and delicious foo. Highly recommend.
