Best Cozy Restaurants in Waimānalo

Despite South winds, it was a beautiful and very pleasant, cool day beachside at the Hau Tree. The food was good. The sun was out. The wine was tasty and just right.

We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Arancino at the Kahala. It began with a sincere welcome at the host desk and continued through dinner, ending with a beautifully crafted celebration cake, complete with congratulations from our server, Katharine, and the manager, Christopher. The delicious food - lobster bisque, pappardelle Bolognese, and the cacio e pepe prepared table-side - was accompanied by an accordion player whose set included both standards and Hawaiian music. We loved it! Impeccable service, outstanding food, and beautiful ambiance made this a memorable dining experience. As we left, several members of the staff wished us Happy Anniversary. Arancino at the Kahala knows how to make you feel special! We already have reservations for a return visit.

Beautiful food that was matched with amazing service.

Great experience for those looking for unique atmosphere, great food, and really knowledgable mixologist.

A fave of ours in Waikīkī! Quaint & tiny but cozy & fun. Absolutely delicious food for decent prices! Service is exceptional (Jamie is fabulous!) - the whole team is collaborative and helps each other out which makes everything seemless. Do yourself a favour and book a few reservations during your trip - you won’t regret it!
