13 Best Seafood Restaurants in Waimea

“delicious calamari and curry mussels appetizers, rib eye entries a must and for dessert brownies with ice cream and fried banana“

“Went here for one of the best meals I've had on the Big Island. Very beautiful by the beach and water setting. Top notch service.

Very delicious food. My favorite thing I ordered here was the buttery grilled lobster. Perfectly grilled and warm with each bite. Very decadent and rich flavor.

The other must order is the pull apart bread. So warm and soft and the butter that comes with it makes it even better!

You do not need to come only for special occasions but simply the celebration of being alive and being able to enjoy a amazing meal on the Big Island.“

“We had the beer battered shrimp and it was TO DIE FOR!! The shrimp was super fresh and the batter light, crispy and not greasy. It is a road side stand with a metal tub wash basin for washing hands. The opposite of fancy but just the experience we were hoping for! Fantastic lunch and fun time!“

“Very nice place in the north of big island with an incredible atmosphere. We stopped for a bite in the evening and stayed for an amazing club concert. Owner and staff were super friendly and helpful. Fantastic place to spend the evening with delicious food and great music. The brussel sprouts were particularly exquisite.“

“Our server Brandy really made our Birthday evening. Exceptionally friendly and accommodating. She took photos, gave us the primo view, and made multiple suggestions from the menu. Her smile and attitude was Infectious. Burgers, fish tacos, poke, and steak were all great. Mmmm ice cream cookies too. She loved our matching shirts too!!“

“What a fun place to eat. Phenomenal food and fun folks. Sunday night with Matt, Daryl, Danby and Bok-Choy Nagasaki Boy. See you in February“

“i had the ribs... delicious“

“Amazing food And hospitality“

“Perfect family night out, even with celiac disease. The wait staff were incredible with modifying to accommodate my strict gluten free dining needs. The marinara sauce on the gf pasta was so so good. My family loved their non-gf food, especially the kid-size individual pizza for my little girl. Everyone was so friendly, and there’s nothing better than fine food in an unpretentious setting.“

“Dining at Meridia was an unforgettable highlight of our stay at the Westin Hapuna! We made reservations well in advance and were incredibly lucky to be seated on the top deck, away from the bustle below. It felt like a private dining experience with unbeatable sunset views.

The restaurant got busy around 5:30 PM, but the service never missed a beat. The food was fantastic—the kabocha soup was rich and comforting, and the tako salad with ulu was a fresh and creative twist that we loved. The cocktails were perfectly crafted and complemented the meal beautifully.

The sunset was nothing short of magical, and the staff’s frequent stops to take pictures for us made the evening even more special. Meridia is a must-visit for anyone staying at the resort or nearby. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing dinner and location! While the setting sun of late September was intense for the start of our meal—the sunset was beautiful and rising full moon was spectacular as well.

Relaxed atmosphere with outstanding food. Two of our party had the ono special which was divine. The ribeye was perfect. And for dessert—try the lilikoi sorbet—-yummy.

Brown’s was very attentive to food allergies which made the visit even better. Our waiter was friendly and attentive as well. Can’t wait to return!

Dietary restrictions: Attentive to food allergens as well as food intolerances. Plenty of ideas for substituting foods one needs to avoid.

Parking: Valet parking is free—just have the ticket validated at the check in stand.

Wheelchair accessibility: Full accessibility givens it’s at a hotel—tons of paths down to the beachside restaurant. Elevator down to ground floor.“

“This restaurant obviously has it all going for itself with the location, on top of that the food and drinks are incredible but what makes it incredible is the service. Cristalle (sorry if I spelled this wrong) went ABOVE and beyond to make our dining experience incredible. She was so funny and engaging and made every effort to accommodate dietary restrictions for an amazing dining experience. Hopefully she remembers this quote but she was truly the “McGogger of the day”! She is an asset to the hotel and truly defines what hospitality means.“

“The meatballs app. The Red Water Martini: delicious!“
