Best Cosy Restaurants in Kailua

This place is simply amazing. Our waitress was so sweet. She was so knowledgeable about all menu items. We have been meaning to try this place for a while and never got a chance to. I saw their James Beard special on TV and finally got a chance ro try them last week. We just HAD to return again this week. They are just that good. We will keep returning again and again. Their Caesar salad dressing (as our waitress says) is DRINKABLE! SERIOUSLY! That thing is ridiculous!! The Kaua'i shrimp special (we may be a little biased) was so 'ono. The shrimp dish and risotto dish was so flavorful. Everything we ordered was just so mouth watering! Go, go, go, go,go!!! This place is a MUST visit. Worth the parking hassle. Lol. Find it on the street or st the end of the road in the paid parking lot.

Excellent service and food. I had the grand experience for $205 and loved it. If you don’t want to spend that much money get the salmon. Wife ordered it and it was incredible, best salmon dish I’ve ever had. The dishes they used for every course were incredible as well.

This was a wonderful date night experience with my wife. The speak easy approach through the telephone booth was a very cool touch. The food, service and drinks were wonderful and something worth a visit!

Another fabulous dinner at Kalapawai Cafe in Kailua. Last night was a birthday celebration and we ordered more than we normally do. We started with the fig and the crab artichoke appetizer. Both selections were ridiculously delish. From the dinner selections, we all ordered the fresh ahi layered on top of Bok choy and creamy, perfectly cooked, lemongrass risotto. Amazing! For dessert, an order of fruit crisp and lilikoi cheesecake. Heaven! Kudos to the Chef and staff!

This was a really nice spot. Our server, Calais, was great! His recommendations were on point and the food was great! I’d definitely dine there again.
