Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Waimānalo

For the second week in a row, my wife and I were able to join the Hy's team for dinner. This time we were celebrating a birthday while vacationing in Waikiki. The request made for a specific table during the reservation, was kept, and I would like to extend a deep thank you for this! Atmosphere is of a dark mahogany steakhouse from back east. Wood fired cooking improves flavor of the high quality meats. Unlike other high end restaurants, Hys offers a starch and mixed veg option sides, included with meals. Requested a split wedge salad, which was fantastic and a perfect size. Table side prep, bananas foster always an excellent choice. Service was maybe 1 tick, less that what is typical at Hy's, felt like we/they missed keeping up with drink orders and water refill.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but our experience at Goen was well worth giving a huge shout out. I left a note in my reservation requesting appropriate seating as we had a 1.5yr old baby as part of our dining party and they went out of their way to facilitate our request. Further, adding to the exceptional experience they brought out a cute little quesadilla plate for her to hold her over while we perused the menu. Food was outstanding, we had the butterfish, salmon, short ribs and truffle gnocchi and every dish was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻 The server was lovely, personable and attentive. Highly recommend making your way to Kailua to check this place out. Will definitely return next time I’m in Hawaii. Thanks guys for an excellent dining experience..

We’ve had the pleasure of dining at a number of Roy’s locations over the years (including on the Big Island just a few weeks ago.) All have been good, but our experience at the original Roy’s on Oahu was exceptional. The service was friendly and professional, our sunset view table was appreciated and our meal was perfectly prepared and delicious. Happy to highly recommend.

The sashimi is so good and fresh. And also we like their soba, very delicious.

Beautiful food that was matched with amazing service.
