My Favorite Restaurants in Honolulu Hawaii
65
Having lived in Hawaii for almost twenty years now, I have enjoyed eating out at some amazing restaurants.
We do not eat out that often, but when there is a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary, or some guests have come to town, we scout out the best food in an environment with exotic ambience.
With a whole wall that is an acquarium, you can enjoy your brunch, lunch or dinner while watching observing the sea life.
The Pacific Beach Hotel is the home of the 280000-gallon indoor Oceanarium.
Besides the large variety of delectable dishes including prime rib of beef, nigiri sushi, crab legs and fresh sashimi, you can choose from the pasta and dessert stations.
Oceanarium Restaurant - 1-800-367-6060 (toll free) or (808) 923-4511 http://www.pacificbeachhotel.com/dining/oceanarium
Another favorite of mine is The Willows in Honolulu.
It has a mesmerizing dancing fountain, and sits on one acre of tropical gardens with cascading waterfalls and native Hawaiian flowers.
They serve a Hawaiian-American all you can eat buffet for lunch and dinner. You can either dine inside or out doors.
The Willows has intriguing historical and cultural significance in Hawaii.

Top of Waikiki
I can't leave out an exciting experience in Honolulu.
There is a rotating restaurant called very fittingly the Top of Waikiki . They have received awards for their Pacific fusion cuisine.
Enjoy 360 degree views of fabulous Waikiki while you dine.
I have very fond memories of the food and the view.
They have what we call fine grinds (translation: good food)!
Top of Waikiki - (808)923-3877 http://www.topofwaikiki.com/
As far as I'm concerned, these are some of the best places to celebrate any special occasion in Hawaii. They know how to do it right, and I am sure you won't be disappointed.
If you want cheap eats - go to McDonald's or Jack in the Box, but for some fine dining, great ambiance, and a meal to remember for years to come, you ought to try the Oceanarium Restaurant, The Willows and the Top of Waikiki, all situated in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Yes, it is quite a thrill seeing all the Honolulu city lights. Thanks for your comments thoughtforce.

I don't know anything about Hawaii but I really want to learn more because my great-grandfather was Hawaiian.
Great Hub!

I look forward to visiting both Hawaii and this reataurant one day. For the time being my two favourite spots for food are my Mom's kitchen and my own as I love to cook.

Can't wait to travel to Hawaii to try these restaurants out. If I had the money, I would eat my way around the world.
I do enjoy living here. I don't get to eat out that often, maybe once or twice a year - but have good memories of these places. Thanks Hello, hello
Nothing like home cooked food, but it is nice to go out some time and let someone else do all the cooking and cleaning up. My husband loves to cook too and he makes some pretty tasty dishes. Thanks Dave.
I would love to eat my way around the world too reddog1207. Sounds like a great thing to do - if only we had an endless supply of money, right?
Totally need to go to one of these this winter. We are planning a trip to Hawaii for Christmas! Would be a wonderful celebration!! Thanks for the great tips and information.
For sure LianaK. You choose one, and we can go together. Sounds like a great idea!
It sounds great, I am planning to go to Hawaii next year, thanks for your information, Great hub.
That is wonderful Aris. Hope you enjoy your trip to Hawaii and get to eat at some fun places like these. Aloha.
