Best Restaurants for Foodies in Kailua

All of the food and the service was fantastic. It is a little pricey but if you can’t pay don’t go. Portions were great for the price couldn’t finish my food. Got the clams and the pho both were amazing to be honest might’ve been the best clams I ever had. Only complaint would be that it was loud but that’s the guests not the restaurant would definitely go back 10/10.

This is the second time we have been to Nature for a special celebration and they completely outdo themselves every time. The service is phenomenal, the drinks were perfect and the food was absolutely delicious. If we could, we would eat here every day. They made my birthday so special last year and my husband’s birthday so special this year! I love that they have a menu that can accommodate both vegetarian/vegans and you wouldn’t even be able to tell it’s vegan!!!

Totally fantastic food and drinks. Imitated but not equaled. The service was unbelievable. Recommendations were spot on. Warmth was touching. Felt like you were coming home.

We came here to celebrate our 27th anniversary and as expected, MW did not disappoint. We started off with the Calamansi spritzes, Caesar salad and dumplings. The lettuce was crispy and fresh and the flavors of the anchovies, dressing and croutons were amazing. My husband blew his mind over the flavor of his scallops and seafood rice. And he raved about my Kampachi. We ate every morsel. It was his first time to MW and he said it was possibly the best meal prep experience he's had. Our server was attentive, informative and gave us great recommendations. He was also relaxed and friendly and the entire staff anticipated our needs. I'm so glad the hostess told us what her favorite dessert was, the Strawberry Shave Ice. It's now my favorite too! We also ended the evening with the brûlée, coffee and the complimentary chocolate cake. We look forward to coming back! Thank you for making our 27th anniversary dinner such a perfect night. As we looked around the restaurant, it seemed all the other guests were smiling and happy as well. Mahalo nui, Kawehi and Corey Apo P.S. we also liked the furniture

Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!
