Best Date Night Restaurants in Paia

Incredible view and food. The service was great too

We’ve been enjoying Honu for years. The food and service have always been impeccable. Sadly, the prices have drastically increased since our last visit. Hopefully the higher prices are helping employees and the community overcome last year’s tragedy

Highly recommend. Our best meal by far during our 11-day stay on the island. Request waiter Nick (with glasses). Nick is one of the best servers we have experienced in all of our years of travel. He was in control from the time he first approached our table. He was kind. He was confident. He was very knowledgeable about all of our dining options. He made what would be a very good dining experience, a great one. The sashimi tuna was the best we’ve ever had. The ulu mash, spectacular. Filets were on point. Overall, we could not recommend Ulu’s enough. The Hawaiian cake dessert was the finishing touch.

Last night, I celebrated my birthday dinner at Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect—the food, the service, and the breathtaking scenery. I ordered the salmon, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring we felt welcomed and well cared for throughout the evening. The highlight, however, was the setting. Watching the sun set while sipping on pre-dinner cocktails was absolutely magical. The colors reflecting off the water created a serene and romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented the dining experience. This was easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. I highly recommend Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa for anyone looking for a memorable night out. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a desire for amazing food and views, this place delivers on all fronts!

It was an Amazing experience where food and staff on Christmas Day were priceless
