New American Restaurants in Waimea, HI

“Absolutely, the food was delicious and service and restaurant were amazing !“

“i had the ribs... delicious“

“Came at the end of lunch service and right before dinner so the restaurant was pretty empty. Lunch menu looked more appetizing and better value. Dinner was basic Mediterranean options, nothing stood out. Zucchini chips were hands down the best thing we ate at halani. The steak kebab, harissa chicken kebab, and saffron rice were dry. Blackened shrimp was cooked well. Staff were incredible and very attentive. Honestly ate the food and didn't say anything because we didn't want to create a fuss for them. Would go back but for lunch instead.“

“Warm, friendly, welcoming casual atmosphere, excellent food, seems like a well-loved local hangout, good music.“

“I loved the food. We ate at the bar and enjoyed the conversation of bartender Brandon. He was entertaining and attentive. We had the lobster tacos, poke bowl and shrimp cerviche. All were delicious. The margarita was a scrumptious desert. The lantern ceremony was also beautiful.“

“We had dinner at Naupaka several times during our stay at the Hapuna resort. Naupaka is a casual, poolside restaurant where women can just wear a coverup over a bathing suit and men wear a tee shirt over bathing suit trunks and totally relax and enjoy the most amazing sunsets on the big island of Hawaii. We enjoyed our meals at Naupaka including the fabulous coconut shrimp, burgers, salads with shrimp, and chicken sandwiches. Even more impressive than the food and sunsets was our server, Indi, who was most accommodating, professional and friendly. We hope to see her again on our next visit! We would also like to send a special shout out to our bartender, Roy, who made us the best frozen strawberry margaritas we've ever had!!!We totally enjoyed this restaurant and would highly recommend it.“
