Upscale restaurant w/a view
Hi- we are returning to Waikiki in June and are looking for a more romantic, nicer restaurant with a great view of the water. Any recommendations? We are staying at the Sheraton and would be walking to the restaurant. Thanks!
Waikiki offers some fantastic upscale restaurants with beautiful views of the water, making it the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Since you're staying at the Sheraton and would prefer to walk, I'll recommend a few spots that are not far from your hotel, each offering great food and stunning ocean views.
- Azure at The Royal Hawaiian - Located in the iconic Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Azure offers stunning views of Waikiki Beach and the Pacific Ocean. This upscale seafood restaurant is known for its fresh, locally sourced ingredients and is perfect for a special occasion. The elegant ambiance and the breathtaking view of the beach make it a fantastic choice for a romantic evening.
- Hoku's at The Kahala Hotel & Resort - While a bit further away from Waikiki, Hoku's is one of the top fine dining spots in Honolulu. It offers a more intimate setting with panoramic views of the ocean. The restaurant specializes in contemporary American cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients. If you're willing to take a short drive, it’s worth it for the experience.
- Orchids at Halekulani - Situated at the Halekulani Hotel, Orchids offers one of the best views of the Pacific Ocean in Waikiki, especially during sunset. The restaurant's elegant design and impeccable service make it a favorite for romantic dinners. They serve contemporary Hawaiian cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood and produce from local farms. You can enjoy your meal right next to the beach, making it a memorable dining experience.
- Sky Waikiki - For a more modern, upscale option with a view, Sky Waikiki offers a rooftop dining experience with panoramic views of the ocean and Waikiki. While it’s a bit more casual than some of the other options, it still provides an elegant atmosphere and delicious food, making it a great place for a sunset dinner. The rooftop bar also offers a fun vibe if you're in the mood for cocktails after your meal.
- House Without a Key at Halekulani - This is another great option at the Halekulani Hotel. House Without a Key offers a beautiful view of Waikiki Beach and is known for its relaxed, open-air atmosphere. It’s perfect for enjoying a leisurely dinner while watching the sunset. The Hawaiian-inspired dishes are fantastic, and you can enjoy live music in the evenings, adding to the romantic ambiance.
Each of these restaurants offers a unique setting and a wonderful view of the water, perfect for a romantic evening in Waikiki. I recommend making a reservation in advance, especially since you’ll be visiting in June, which is a busy time for tourism. Enjoy your trip to Honolulu, and I hope you have a fantastic dining experience!
