Restaurants near Waimalu Plaza Shopping Center

Second time here for Thanksgiving and because we were there for lunch instead of dinner, it was truly a winner experience. We arrived a little early and checked in. We were seated just a couple of minutes after other reservation time. Slightly slower than dinner last year because we were on the bar side versus the main area. So it was a little quieter and leisurely. Server Cody was awesome. He was quick and efficient and friendly. Checked back on us at all the appropriate times. Three of us had the turkey dinner plate. Two of them hadn’t had it before and were impressed with how juicy the turkey was, the quantity of turkey, and the taste. We asked for and were brought extra cranberry relish. Two had the 12 oz prime rib and were very pleased with it. Prepared as ordered, medium rare for both. They ate it all so it must have been good. May not be expensive restaurant cuts, but for the price it’s always good, tender, tasty outer layer, juicy middle. Two minor things - cranberry relish was pretty tart. Would recommend a change in recipe for next year. Not enough gravy, but if course they bring more on request. I plan on returning next year - Black Angus is an excellent option that’s right in between getting a catered turkey package and dining in at really upscale restaurants, where turkey isn’t something I would order.

Mangiamo’s Restaurant was really good, service was excellent for our party of 8. The food was good portioned and tasty. We were also accommodated with eight separate checks. Some restaurants frown when you ask for this. My only peeve is the sun rays hitting our backs while eating; this only affected the guests who were sitting with their backs to the golf course. I wish the hostess had suggested that we move our table inside or at least inform us about how hot it can get.

We had an excellent experience. The food was delicious (filet mignon) and the server was personable and attentive. I would highly recommend! In fact, we went back two nights later with the rest of our party.

Food was good and fast The place was very busy Pricing a little on the high end Service is very limited to just check in on you when they are in passing helping others The older man that has been there centuries is also fun to see

Lovely setting, attentive service, excellent food! We always appreciate the basket of homemade breads, which today included luscious mini-scones and sweet/salty lavosh.
