Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Kailua

Great food and atmosphere! We loved the Maui Nui venison tataki and lamb lollipops. Also, great to see a Pimm’s cup on the drink menu. The space is beautifully redone. There was live music, which originally worried us because it can be too loud, but the music was the perfect volume to enjoy and still have conversation.

Being a Lone Ranger here on island at Christmas, I decided to take myself out to dinner. I sat at the bar with my reservation and ordered a real nice Cabernet to go with my absolutely delicious chicken Parmesan and spaghetti. The service itself was great. 3 different servers consistently attended to me which was very pleasing. The dessert finished off very well with my wine as well. The ambiance was very holiday visitor vibe but the staff was hosting at a great level. Thank you for a great ending to my solo Christmas Formaggio’s!

We enjoy going to Goen for some really good food. The staff is always great and it has a great ambiance. It is a bit pricey, so get ready to spend a bit. But overall, very good!

My wife and I went to Tommy Bahama for a late lunch. The person who greeted us upon our arrival was very friendly and welcoming! We were seated and our server came over to our table and also greeted us. My wife got the bungalow salad and cheeseburger sliders which she said were absolutely delicious. I got the Chilean sea bass which was extraordinary. My wife and I try to come to Tommy Bahama Restaurant at least once a week as the food is exceptional and the people who work there are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!

Chef Terry is lovely and her food delicious. Only disappointment was with server taking so long to get our entree order we missed out on the chicken (which was ordered out of existence, though we were seated right at opening). He also forgot my husband’s drink order. Mocktails were tasty!
