Restaurants near Pua Mau Place Arboretum Botanical Garden

My wife and I went here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. I requested a nice table, if available, and Meridia did not disappoint. We had a great table (and view as the sun was setting) and had an incredible waitress, Elizabeth. She made the whole evening even more special… thank you E!

Amazing service . Alfred took such great care of us and made sure we got a picture of us with the sunset. Food was delicious . Magical night

We were tired from touristing and arrived early for our reservation but they were able to seat us right away. Not on the patio sadly. I have no idea how you get a table there. Server was very good and attentive, and the food was great. We shared the spring rolls I had the ribs. Given it’s $32 for 6 and only $39 for 12, I went for the full rack so to have leftovers for tomorrow’s dinner (eating out in Hawaii is NOT cheap. We only go out ever 2-3 nights) My wife had the prawn spaghetti squash dish which also is a generous portion and had some leftovers No room for dessert. Fairly efficient, I think we were out of there in an hour.

Service was attentive and wonderful. The ambience is unbearable at sunset made better by the innovative menu. We will certainly come back for more celebrations on the Big Island!

Canoe House has been one of our favorites on the Island for several years. It is a perfect location for sunset dinners and an outstanding dining experience. Again, they did not disappoint. Highlights were perfectly done filet, swordfish and kampachi with garlic fried rice as a side. Wonderful flavors, well balanced, and perfect portions. Starters were corn ribs (a favorite ) and snap peas with goat cheese. Prices are at the higher end, but the value is spot on. We always try and eat here once during our trips to the island.
