After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
There’s no doubt in our minds that the Hawaiian Islands are home to some incredible restaurants and while it can be easily argued that the food is the most important aspect of a restaurant, ambiance also plays a role. Even better are restaurants that have the whole package — good food, stellar views, beautifully-decorated interiors, and an unforgettable experience. And luckily for you, today, we’re featuring a restaurant with it all. And that’s not all: this stunning restaurant will transport you back in time, to Old Hawaii. Any guesses as to which restaurant we’re talking about?
Located on Maui’s stunning western coast is the Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort. And within this stunning oceanfront resort is one of the best restaurants you’ll find in Hawaii: Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
You won’t be disappointed with ordering a twist on a classic Mai Tai. This beautiful drink is named "The Grand," and it features 23 year aged rum, orange curacao, orgeat, and lime juice topped with a pineapple vanilla foam.
There is no doubt in our minds that you will be quickly transported to another era of Hawaiian history as you dine at this subtly elegant and cozy restaurant.
This is truly old Hawaii at its finest, so what are you waiting for? Make a sunset reservation at Humuhumunukunukuapua'a as soon as possible. We hear table 70 has the best seats in the house.
