Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Hawaii Kai

Excellent food, service and great table too. Actually we have never had a bad meal at Hula Grill. The fish and preparation is delicious. Hula Pie is a must. Can be easily shared by 3-4 people.

We sat in the large patio area outside. It was very pleasant, with balmy weather and light trade winds, and we liked the live music (a solo guitarist/singer). We ordered from the Happy Hour menu and the food and drinks were inexpensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we were served quickly. My friend ordered the local shrimp and chips and I had the tempura fish and chips. Our waitress brought us a small glass of Prosecco (no charge) before our meal arrived. The food was delicious and well prepared. The coating on the seafood was light and crispy (not greasy). The service was excellent. Shout outs to our pleasant and friendly waitress Mahina and to the host Kody. We liked the restaurant so much we came back for dessert the same evening after we attended a music event!

Loved the menu offerings! Will have to return to try other entrees on the menu. All entrees we ordered were excellently prepared! No one was disappointed! Service provided by Mercedez was excellent! The special birthday dessert was very much appreciated by the honoree! Thank you!!

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!

Great food! Great service! Great dining location - the views are wonderful! The entertainment is a nice bonus!
