- PPatriciaHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe dined at Halani last night for Valentine’s Day and it was AMAZING. Our server was Ali(?) she’s y’all, blonde and has tattoos and she was INCREDIBLE. The bread balloon with the dip trio was out of this world, my kebabs were cooked perfectly and my husband’s flank wagyu steak was 10/10. I’ve been to this restaurant for the all you can eat breakfast brunch during the day but at night is a totally different vibe and just stunning. Everyone was kind and helpful from the valet to the servers and busters.More infoHalaniPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Kamuela•4.6

- MMickeyVIPChicago / Illinois •32 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis kitchen prepares amazing and unique dishes. We have been diners here since Alan Wong was the chef and the current menu meet that standard.The lobster tempura is reminiscent of Allan, prepared slightly differently, but just as delicious. The radish salad is an absolute must. We also feel that the garlic fried rice is the perfect compliment, to your protein of choice. It is definitely hard to beat the setting and the entire staff is absolutely outstanding and they work perfectly in unison to provide amazing service.

Discover Kamuela
Kamuela, Hawaii, also known as the city of Waimea, is the “paniolo” center of the Hawaiian Islands. One local delicacy is huli huli chicken, which is a barbecued teriyaki chicken. Served with a side of Hawaiian purple sweet potatoes and Hawaiian baked beans (with pineapple chunks in it, of course), this dish incorporates both the fresh flavors of native Hawaiian culture and the smoky flavors of the South. Finish off this meal with some delish haupia, a delicious local pineapple coconut pudding, for dessert. If you miss the flavors of the mainland, there are a number of restaurants that offer burgers, pasta, and other treats. Hawaiian fusion also offers a lot of opportunities to try global foods with island flair.
