Restaurants near Kalakaua Recreation Center Playground

The service was really good. If dining when they have live music, if given a choice, I recommend eating on the lanai so you can hear your own conversation more easily. All the food was excellent. Starting with the free, warm, light and airy popovers with strawberry butter…yum! Seconds are free, too; the only danger here is filling up on them before your entree arrives! The delicious truffle fries have the most truffle flavor compared to all others that I’ve tasted anywhere; they’re served perfectly seasoned with crisp edges, and a garlic aioli on the side. And the Shrimp and Crab Louie salad is so good too, with a good amount of crab on it, and 3 huge, perfectly-done shrimp, that I always end up getting it as my entree. I always want to try other things which sound good too, but don’t want to give up the chance to eat this again. I guess to try other things, I just need to come here more often, lol.

Nothing like being able to sit down after hours of shopping and enjoy a good meal with a great view, that won’t break the bank. We dine and order from here frequently and have always enjoyed the experience. Make sure to make a reservation if you want to come in during the high traffic hours.

We had a wonderful experience dining here this evening. A big mahalo to all the staff for accommodating my extended family of 7, including a toddler. Our server was on-point, great selection of drinks, the view excellent, the ambiance and noise levels just right. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but especially the mini poke tacos, the mahi tacos and the kids pizza was a huge success for a picky eater.

We sat in the large patio area outside. It was very pleasant, with balmy weather and light trade winds, and we liked the live music (a solo guitarist/singer). We ordered from the Happy Hour menu and the food and drinks were inexpensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we were served quickly. My friend ordered the local shrimp and chips and I had the tempura fish and chips. Our waitress brought us a small glass of Prosecco (no charge) before our meal arrived. The food was delicious and well prepared. The coating on the seafood was light and crispy (not greasy). The service was excellent. Shout outs to our pleasant and friendly waitress Mahina and to the host Kody. We liked the restaurant so much we came back for dessert the same evening after we attended a music event!

It’s always wonderful to dine here. We truly enjoy the food and service provided by all the staff members and the manager David.
