Best Fine Dining in Haleiwa Alii Beach Park

"For a truly outstanding dining experience, from the food and wine to the service and intimate setting, Chef Mavro in Honolulu is the restaurant you and your significant other won't soon forget. The Hawaiian-French fusion restaurant is helmed by owner and chef George Mavrothalassitis who masterfully combines fresh, local ingredients into inventive dishes. Favorites include onaga, a long tail snapper baked in a salt crust with a tomato-ogo-fines herbes sauce, and the house-made lilikoi malasadas with guava coulis for dessert."

"Some of the island's most accomplished cuisine is served at this small, intimate restaurant in Honolulu. Under the masterful command of Chef Mavro, French technique pairs with Hawaiian ingredients to create culinary magic. Dishes include Maitake Mushroom Indochine sautéed with green papaya, mushroom broth, sumida watercress galangal and kaffir lime and Keahole Lobster Paella with roasted red bell peppers, green olives, fried cilantro, lobster, chorizo, and saffron puff rice."

"In March of 2020, Jeremy Shigekane, Mavro’s executive chef, bought the restaurant from his boss, one of the original founders of Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine. And then the pandemic hit. Luckily, he had already been planning to expand upon the tasting menu, once the restaurant’s only offering, with more casual options."

"A beautiful, pale room, accented with gleaming wood and sprinkled with flowers and artwork, welcomes guests to this exceptional place. Using a wide array of locally grown ingredients, the Pineapple Rooms combines gourmet cooking with the locovore movement. The exhibition kitchen makes the most of fresh, regional ingredients, crafting such delicacies as kiawe wood-grilled mahimahi, ginger-crusted onaga, and roast duck prepared three ways."

"The interior of Alan Wong’s is enough to make you swoon, but the menu that highlights fresh and regional ingredients is where this restaurant really shines. The dining room is a gorgeous, pale room, accented with gleaming wood, flowers, and artwork. Some notable dishes from Alan Wong’s are the macadamia-coconut crusted lamb chops and the ginger crusted onaga, both of which will leave your mouth watering."

"For farm-to-table food in downtown Honolulu, look no further than Alan Wong’s Honolulu. This Oahu restaurant offers a fine dining experience featuring Hawaiian dishes. All the menu items here are infused with creativity."

"After slicing into some high-quality USDA prime meat, heat things up with a little flambe, because nothing says showstopper like your dessert lit on fire, table side. Choose from chocolate lovers, bananas Foster, cherries jubilee, or Sinatra’s strawberry flame, and watch as servers prepare your ice cream dessert on a bed of fresh fruit and set it ablaze until the sugar caramelizes on top. If dessert pyrotechnics aren’t your thing, Hy’s offers non-flaming desserts such as flourless chocolate cake, molten lava cake, coconut crème brûlée and homemade cheesecake."

"Intimate, subtly lit, and genteel, this well-respected steak house is a special-occasion favorite, thanks to its refined ambience and pricey entrees. Waiters in tuxedos add class to an evening out, as do tableside preparations of caesar salad and bananas Foster. Beef, however, is the attraction, whether you select kiawe-broiled NY strip, prime rib, or a T-bone."

"Sushi Sho stands out among Honolulu’s slew of high-end omakase sushi spots, and not just for its price point — starting at $300 (though discounted during the pandemic). Sho is known for the creativity of Keiji Nakazawa, one of Japan’s most acclaimed sushi chefs, who left Tokyo to open this 10-seat restaurant in the Ritz Carlton. He combines old Edomae sushi techniques, which highlight flavor nuances through aging fish such as wild yellowtail and moi, with nods to Hawai‘i, as with a bite-size riff on laulau, a traditional Hawaiian dish of pork wrapped in taro leaves."

"Sushi master Keiji Nakazawa is revered for his Edomae sushi, using old-school techniques that extend the life of raw fish—a throwback to the early 19th century when fresh seafood needed to last longer. Here, though, you get some contemporary twists, and he tries to use local ingredients wherever possible to reflect his surroundings and provide exclusive flavors. Salmon smoked in banana leaves."

"Entering Sushi Sho, inside the Ritz Carlton, is like entering a stage set for an audience of 10. Seats flank the dramatic sushi bar, where Keiji Nakazawa and two assistant chefs hold court. A few years ago, Nakazawa, one of Japan’s great sushi masters, left his restaurant in Tokyo for the challenge of Hawaii."

"Hoku's, located in the Kahala Hotel & Resort in the upscale east Honolulu neighborhood, offers couples innovative dishes which deftly meld Hawaiian, Asian, Mediterranean and European flavors. The hotel's signature restaurant recently revamped its menu, too and features culinary delights such as the "Aburi" Kampachi carpaccio, king crab and kinki fish bouillabaisse hot pot and "sous-vide" California squab. The menu also has helpful wine pairing for entrees, and gluten, nut and egg free designations next to certain dishes."

"Hoku’s Restaurant at the Kahala Hotel is the epitome of luxury. The stylish waterfront restaurant inside the Kahala Hotel offers a delicious, elegant dinner menu. However, they’re known for their lavish Sunday brunch, which includes everything from rack of lamb to Alaskan king crab."

"Just before dusk at the Trump International Hotel’s sixth floor lounge, with the silhouette of palm trees against the horizon and twinkling cityscape, it almost feels as though you’re in a different city -- if not for the ocean view. Sliding, cherrywood-paneled doors separate the indoor bar from the open-air lanai, where white-cushioned sectionals and sleek café tables line the balcony. Inside, recessed lighting highlights the interior’s leather seats and black marble bar, where the backlit liquor collection features drips of absinthe."

"Besuchen Sie die Ocean View Lounge in Wai'olu für eine Einführung in die „flüssige Kunst“. Entdecken Sie kreative Getränkespezialitäten aus den besten und frischesten Zutaten und genießen Sie köstliche Tapas aus allen Regionen unter freiem Himmel."

"The Republik is Honolulu's premiere concert and events venue, locally owned & operated since 2012. It has an open style General Admission format and is known to bring talent from all music genres to the Honolulu. RSVP at The Republik"

"Often hosting premier events and concerts, The Republik is always bustling with people and never loses its charm. The wide-open space dance floor and the live band performances make sure you tap your feet and get on the dance floor!"

"If James Bond were to ever hunt down bad guys in Honolulu, this upscale lounge would be his first post-victory stop for a shaken, not stirred martini -- and not just because there’s a drink named after him. No T-shirts and beachwear are allowed at this Waikiki bar, and tiki torches and surfboard décor give way to dim lighting, a dark wood interior, and retro loveseats. Nightly live jazz is the soothing soundtrack to evenings of whispering in your date’s ear over strong cocktails."

"Lewers Lounge, located inside the internationally acclaimed Halekulani Hotel, is a live jazz venue. This classy lounge features dark wood paneling and dim lighting, giving it a romantic feel. The signature drinks list was created by New York cocktail guru Dale DeGroff and includes both old school favorites and creative new faces."

"I’ll bet 15,000 Aloha shirts will capture your attention when wandering into Bailey’s Antiques & Aloha Shirts. From Vintage to brand new, you will find it all in this worlds largest collection of Aloha wear. Even the late Anthony Bourdain from the television show called “No Reservations”, managed with his picky taste, to find a special vintage Aloha shirt to his liking."

"Whether you need groceries, a massage, or a camping permit, this is where you can get it all when you’re in La’ie."
