Best Restaurants for People Watching in Kailua

Covered inside seating next to open air views of Waikiki Kalakaua Ave made for a nice setting as you watch the activity below from the 2nd floor venue. We were seated promptly, server attended very quickly with drinks and dinner menus. We had as much time as we needed to look over both menus and placed an order for two Grey Goose and Blue Cheese stuffed Olive Martini's first, then a bit later for our dinner selections. Had seafood entrees and all were very good! I do not give specific dish ratings as everyone's taste is completely different. Anyway this is a great place for some nice ambiance, decent food, great service at a reasonable price for Waikiki.

Cat is the bomb! It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had such an awesome and personable experience at a restaurant and I am shocked that it was at D&B nonetheless! She is a rockstar who went over and beyond for my sons birthday party and absolutely deserves to be recognized not only for her amazing costumer service, incredible professionalism in interacting with our waitress but her cheerfulness and dedication to ensuring our kids were having a blast. Car thanks so much for making my sons birthday party so awesome. My last minute planning met your “can do” spirit made his celebration a huge success! Lastly, if I can make one small recommendation, pretty please get some Beyond Burger/vegan options!

The food is excellent. I haven’t been there since before COVID and I forgot how much I loved it. I ended up going back twice in one week. The uni pasta was delicious and so was the risotto with fois gras. I want to go back to try the nentaiko pasta next.

This place is delicious. Definitely worth a try. Burger and garlic soba noodles are a must. But you can’t go wrong with anything.

I keep coming back! The food and folks here are just excellent ...they keep changing the menu enough that there is always something new to try. While some might not give 5 stars for ambience...the back patio, kind of funky is my kind of intimate outdoor space. It's also byob which I like too
