Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Waimānalo

The pork wasn't as good as it may have appeared, the lobster, prime rib, and snow crab exceeded my expectations. The bread pudding with it's sauce wasn't overly sweet which without loosing it's wonderful flavor. The genuine Kona coffee was a rare gratifying experience with it's rich, robust, taste and morning appealing aroma.

We were there to celebrate our anniversary and we were greeted with well wishes. Our server, Brandon used our name, which is something I truly believe is incredibly professional. He then explained the menu and their options. When asked, he recommended cocktails, and gave us his opinion on The menu choices for the four course dinner we each selected. He read our table and understood. We were not in a rush, but they are to enjoy a dining experience so our courcess came out paced accordingly. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and a great dining experience with excellent food great service and a wonderful way to spend our 20th anniversary.

Beautiful restaurant by the beach. Excellent service and ambiance. I ordered the signature dish: Prawn Tagliatelle and was disappointed to find only two pieces of shrimp, other than that the food and flavors were amazing.

Excellent food, excellent service, fantastic view. Orchids is a must next time you are visiting Oahu. Several in our party have dubbed it the “best meal of their lives”.

My husband I, fortunately, saw on the news that it was Honolulu Restaurant Week where they showed the carbonara. We booked right away to celebrate our 15th anniversary. The prix fixe menu was definitely one of the best we’ve had. Started with the caviar, that was so amazing. Each course that came after just got better and better. Lobster bisque was exquisite, caprese salad was so fresh and delicious. The lobster pasta would be my favorite, if I had to choose…but everything was just so good. My husband got the carbonara and he loved the richness of it. then comes the short rib that was so flavorful and tender. We had 2 desserts, the frangipane and the special anniversary dessert that was a beautiful cake encased in sugar dome. The flavors are just so wonderful in the palate. We also had the wine pairing that enhanced the whole dining experience. Most definitely though, Ken took care of us, and made it a very memorable night. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back next time we visit Honolulu and will recommend this place to everyone we know.
