From Kauai’s northern coast to the the Big Island’s Hilo, the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless phenomenal restaurants. And while these 15 unique eateries are certainly incredible, we’ve got a restaurant that should top everyone’s Hawaiian dining bucket list. This classic Hawaiian restaurant not only serves up some of the freshest seafood around but is also located in quite a picturesque setting.

An iconic Hawaiian seafood restaurant, Haleiwa Joe’s second (and we’d argue, prettier) location can be found in windward Oahu at the Haiku Gardens, a slice of absolute paradise.
