Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Hawaii

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.

Truly recommend dining here for a memorable occasion. It's become my family's tradition for every celebration.

Went to lunch with a friend in the middle of the week. The staff was attentive without hovering, and our meal was outstanding. We shared the frisee and smoked fish salad and the big 5 (vegetable sampler) -- highly recommend both! Everything was delicious and fresh. The crispy ulu (part of the big 5) was amazing, super filling, and a great way to introduce breadfruit to someone who has never tried it. Portions were generious, and both of us took leftovers home. The TOWN lemonade is refreshing. I also appreciated that they brought tongs and extra plates as I'm not a fan of using our eating utensils in shared dishes.

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!

Service was top notch. Wish they had more choices for the price. But overall I’ll still recommend. I’m a fan of the fish tank.
