Best Date Night Restaurants in Haiku

Absolutely delicious Italian food with all home made pasta and wood burning pizza. We had each ;) We took our 3 little children here for dinner last night for Valentine’s Day and it was loud and energetic, and we loved it!! It’s an Italian place, c’mon!! The service was the best we’ve had on island- as it always is, and the food came out piping HOT- the way we like it! There are no complaints! We didn’t have to worry about our kids being too loud bc it’s an energetic restaurant that had live music. Our night couldn’t have been any better. We will definitely return.

On Valentine’s Day, my wife and I had a late lunch at Duke’s. We were seated on the lower deck closest to the beach with a wonderful view. Our server, Keeley, did a superb job and delivered our salads, a mango BBQ chicken and a shrimp & crab. Both were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will go back again.

We ended up choosing to sit at the aquarium bar. It was wonderful to identify the fish from their QR code. The wagu was prepared and cooked A++. We added a side of the local mushrooms, which were delicious and interestingly different than our local mushrooms. Friendly atmosphere. We’d certainly go back!

Oh my!!!! Take the time to dine at Honu. We made early dinner reservations, but anytime will be lovely. We started with a Bees Knees cocktail along with the octopus starter. Both were delicious. Our dinner was a special: monchong over basil risotto; divine!!!! We finished up with dessert that was macarons along with a glass of wine. Jordan, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable and lovely. Service by the whole staff, including the manager, was awesome. The view was icing on the cake with full ocean and swimming Honu’s. What else could you possibly want? Highly recommend!

Wonderful friends gave us a gift card for Makawao Public House as we often raved about the wonderful meals we enjoyed there . As usual it didn’t disappoint. We tried the seared sashimi for the 1 st time and it was to die for . However you need to include a straw with the sauce so you can drink it all up as it is just phenomenal 😜 .Then we ordered the curry vegetables with grilled mahi and the short ribs , again it was cooked to perfection. Everything paired with a glass of Rose champagne and we had the best Valentine dinner . We had an early dinner reservations, so it was quiet , the waitress was lovely ,sweet and personable. We are so happy to have another restaurant choice upcountry. Mahalo
