Best Spots for a Romantic Dinner in Honolulu

Whether you call the tropical city of Honolulu home or have just arrived on the island of Oahu for vacation, chances are you could use a quiet romantic dinner for two. Well, you are in luck. The city of Honolulu, itself a romantic city full of paramours and honeymooners, offers a number of romantic spots for dinner, many of which are located right in the tourist mecca of Waikiki. Here are the best spots for a romantic dinner in Honolulu.

What is more romantic than a quiet French restaurant with soft music and candlelight? Le Mer, located at 2199 Kalia Road in Waikiki, offers just that. Authentic French dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients highlight Le Mer's menu. Many men, both island residents and guests, select Le Mer as that perfect place to propose. If that is the case, try to get a table overlooking the majestic Diamond Head crater and a gorgeous sliver of the azure blue Pacific. Le Mer strongly recommends reservations, and the restaurant has a fairly strict dress code that requires long sleeves or jackets for gentlemen. Prepare to spend some serious dough at Le Mer. Even appetizers run about thirty-five bucks. But the food is delectable. If you wish to call to make reservations at Le Mer, their telephone number is (808) 923-2311.

Steak doesn't always scream romance, but at Hy's Steak House in Waikiki it does. Located at 2440 Kuhio Avenue, Hy's Steak House boasts a warm, romantic atmosphere and easily the best cuts of steak on the island of Oahu, maybe in all of Hawaii. Hy's Steak House also offers some outstanding seafood, especially lobster. Although the waiters and waitresses are dressed to the nines (think tuxedos), they are always friendly and cordial. A glassed-in grill room adds to the ambiance, which is upscale yet incredibly comfortable. Prices for entrees run a bit high but are reasonable considering the quality. Hy's Steak House strongly suggests reservations, and you can make them by calling (808) 922-5555.
