Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Honolulu

We used to go to Roy’s in Maui every year on our arrival night, and last year when we went to Honolulu for the first time, we tried Roy’s in Waikiki. It was great! Last night, we went back ( on our arrival night) and had an excellent meal. Our server Joshua was exceptional. We enjoyed talking to him, and he helped us decide on the delicious tiger prawns with crab ravioli. It went beautifully with an Aperture Sauvignon Blanc. He also brought out a lovely hamachi starter for us. We always love the excellent canoe sampler for two as a starter, so we also had that. The chocolate soufflé was amazing for dessert! Several other team members stopped by, including a woman who gave us great ideas for some things to do in Honolulu that not all tourists would know about. It was a perfect way to start our visit—great food, wine, and Hawaiian hospitality. Mahalo, Roy’s!

We had a private room for our office Holiday dinner. There were 9 of us and we fit perfectly in the back room. Our server Loreal was outstanding! She was so attentive and checked on us often. 4 of us ordered Tomahawks which ended up smoking the room but there is a back door we opened for vent and the staff brought a portable fan to blow the smoke out. We lived our dinners and will be back!

What a great experience! Kalaha Resort was beautiful, so we came early to walk around the grounds. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and it was so much fun to see the dolphins and walk along the beach to the small island. Dinner was superb: the food was excellent, and our waiter Eric was top-notch. I'd highly recommend Plumeria House restaurant. Sit outside if you can----it's such a romantic experience!

Always make a point to visit Zigu when in town. The food is ALWAYS fantastic and the service great! Highly recommend and plan to return again soon!

Gorgeous views and delicious foo. Highly recommend.
