Restaurants near Hanauma Bay State Underwater Park

We started with happy hour at the bar. The live music wasn’t too loud and it was really nice. The Hawaiian martini was delicious, too! We went upstairs for our reservation. The service was great and the food was SO GOOD! I had the fish trio dish which is recommend. Everything was great. My husband has the 3 course meal with the wine pairing and he also enjoyed it. This place is a bit pricey but we really enjoyed it!

Excellent food and service. Any visit to Honolulu should include a meal here. The view is spectacular of the bay/ocean, and you will enjoy the fine dining and lovely atmosphere!

There’s a reason this place has won awards for best Italian restaurant in Hawaii. They’ve taken simple Italian dishes and elevated them to something really special, without charging obscene prices. The Caprese salad was the most flavorful one I’ve ever had in my life — and I eat that dish A LOT! The Parmesan risotto was outstanding (in addition to being prepared tableside in a very cool way); and the “deconstructed” tiramisu was perfection. Best of all, my server, Diego, was lovely and attentive but never overbearing, which helped put me at ease as I dined alone. Do not miss the special place!

The venue was perfect for Valentine's Day. Facing the ocean, pool and palm trees and live music on the background was why we return to this restaurant. Special mention to our server, Scott, who was professional and friendly. Mahalo again !

For Valentine's Day, my husband and I decided to dine at the Plumeria’s seafood buffet. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by our server, Eric, who was friendly and made us feel well taken care of. The selection on the menu was incredible, and we especially loved the carved prime rib and crab legs. The sashimi was so tender, and I really enjoyed the sushi bar. However, I have to say that the bread pudding was the highlight of the meal! The Kahala Hotel and Plumeria hold a special place in our hearts, as we’ve made many wonderful memories here with family and friends. We’ll definitely be back!
