Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Kailua

We had the Valentine's Day dinner at Roy's. They had a super cute love balloon set up for photos and all the tables had pink and white napkins. We were greeted by every staff member as we passed and wished happy Valentine's Day by our server. The pre fixe menu was lovely. Lobster balls and salad to start and a large choice of mains, followed by an amazing dessert. They were able to accommodate for gluten and dairy free. We chose to sit outside and loved the ocean view and sunset. We chose non-alcoholic local mules for cocktails and they were lovely. Overall it was a beautiful evening we were very thankful for.

We’ve been to Stage Restaurant several times and we always love everything about it. The food is incredible every time!

Our waitress and other servers were excellent. Very helpful explaining the menu and attentive through our meal. The food was great, starting with the grilled Brussel sprouts. We all had really creative fish dishes as entrees. I had a seafood paella which was different and delicious. Wednesday was half price wine day. 50% off a Neyers $80 bottle was the topper !

This was my first Omakase experience, Aung was highly recommended by someone we came across on the North Shore. Let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. Aung was so vibrant and he definitely made the experience even better. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Hands down a MUST.

Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.
