Another fabulous dinner at Kalapawai Cafe in Kailua. Last night was a birthday celebration and we ordered more than we normally do. We started with the fig and the crab artichoke appetizer. Both selections were ridiculously delish. From the dinner selections, we all ordered the fresh ahi layered on top of Bok choy and creamy, perfectly cooked, lemongrass risotto. Amazing! For dessert, an order of fruit crisp and lilikoi cheesecake. Heaven! Kudos to the Chef and staff!

Dinner was great as usual, this is one of our favorites. Service was good, was busy when we arrived so getting my 1st took a little longer. We could eat there once a week. 😊

My husband’s meal is as great. Mine was fair, the chicken added to my salad was way over done. My daughters was ok.

This place never disappoints. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. They are constantly trying new items on their menu and this last visit for me it was the Tomahawk Pork. I did the best I could with utensils and had to fight the urge to just grab the bone and finish it off caveman style. Plus, our server recommended wine pairings for my wife and I that were spot on!

Haven’t been here in a while. Seated promptly. Chrystal was our server. Wife had the pork chop evening special. I had the auction seared ahi. Both were excellent! Great place for casual, informal dining.

I would have rated all 5 stars but because we had someone in our party who is immunocompromised and reserved a table outside. The noise level brought the 5 star rating down to 4 as we were right by the main road. Service was excellent and everyone who worked there was extremely pleasant and professional. The food was delicious and so was the dessert! I would definitely go back and sit inside the next time.

Had a great dinner at an inside table. All the tables were filled but it was still possible to have a conversation. The seafood special was amazing! Our server was friendly. Nice experience!
