   Good food and service - we always go there when we are Kailua. Parking in their lot is limited but there are many spots on the street and I believe the meters do not run in the evenings. The restaurant is located on a street corner, so you will hear traffic if you sit outside - but it is Hawaii so we always sit outside! Mahalo and Aloha!

   Love this restaurant! They easily accommodated my family with a small child and were very nice when he needed to know “where his food was”. Great staff!

   It’s always a pleasure to dine at Kalapawai. The food is excellent and the menu is always refreshingly different every time we go.

   Consistently great food - well prepared, fresh ingredients, very imaginative. Variety of the pu-pu, salad and main menu was impressive. Overall, our favorite restaurant on the Windward side.

   The prices are high for a casual restaurant. The food is good but some dishes arrived cold or room temperature. Service was very good.

    The Grilled Lamb Loin was scrumptious! Good ordinary wines too.
