Restaurants near Aina Haina Playground

Nothing beats the view if you are fortunate enough to get a table by the edge facing the ocean. We reserved our table on thanksgiving day in time to see the sun go down and a sunset over the ocean in Hawaii is very hard to beat. It does indeed create memories. The food was ok. But honestly the service was great and the atmosphere was what it was all about. Come here for that if not for anything else.

Last night, I had an exceptional dining experience at Ruth’s Chris in Hawaii. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and professional. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. The steaks were cooked to perfection, with the signature sizzle that makes Ruth’s Chris stand out. The sides and desserts were equally delicious, making the entire meal unforgettable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special night out or just treating yourself to a top-tier meal. If you’re in Hawaii, I can’t recommend this location enough. It’s a must-visit for steak lovers or anyone seeking a high-quality dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Ryan and Danny were amazing and so helpful with all of our questions about the food, wine and local things to do.

I went with my family, and it was fantastic! I made a reservation on OpenTable, and the only time available for six people was 5:15 PM. Although it was early, we got to enjoy a stunning sunset view of Diamond Head, and happy hour lasted until 6 PM, which worked out perfectly. We ordered a mix of dishes from the happy hour menu, including regular fries, margarita pizza, hamachi, roasted salmon, calamari, chicken wings, and a sushi roll. Everything was delicious—we even ended up ordering a second round of hamachi. I’d definitely come back!

Excellent service, beautiful view of ocean at sunset. The restaurant was loud because it was busy but we were still able to carry on a conversation. The live music was amazing! Food was great, especially the dessert. The Mai Tai was fantastic. We will be back!
