- CCarlosHawaii •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe place is simply amazing… decoration was on point, low lighting, rose petals over the seats and tables, jazz player on balcony and even a fire dancer. The drinks were delicious with a fancy presentation. We order the truffle risotto with shaved truffle (table side) on top… fully recommend it. We also ordered the veal chop with potato gratin… out of this world, tender, juicy and very flavorful. Overall this was a 10/10 experience, the staff was very friendly and the way they pull off the experience is very unique. Clark (owner) was very attentive and made us feel like family. Will be going back, they set the bar for a special occasion extremely high! Bravo Gaslamp! You got something amazing going on!!!More infoGaslampPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Honolulu•4.7
- CCliffHawaii •16 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAnother good dining experience for birthday/Valentines dinner. Had the brussels & cauliflower appetizer and truffle gnocchi w/ shrimp and the marinara/alfredo "winter special" entrees - both very flavorful. Finished the meal with basque cheesecake.

Discover Kailua
Kailua is a beautiful city on Oahu where tourists can have a relaxing beachside dining experience. One of the local favorites is traditional Hawaiian food. Try delicious poi, poke or even Kalua pig cooked in an underground oven. The pork belly is not to be missed. These dishes are made with local ingredients and often come with a generous helping of pineapple and rice. These restaurants frequently have live luau music and traditional dance. Several Italian restaurants and Japanese hibachi grills showcase the immigrant diversity of the island. Plenty of places are open late, so you can stay on the beach until the sun goes down while enjoying a spam musubi or an impossibly fresh grilled ahi sandwich. Most of Kailua's venues have a casual atmosphere that caters to tourists while remaining laid back and welcoming to all.
