Layover dining options in Honolulu
Aloha! I've finally booked my flights. Decided to head to HNL 4:15pm and have a nice dinner somewhere by cab before 9:30pm flight to mainland. Any ideas? Looking for something grand, price not an issue. Never been outside the airport on Oahu. Mahalo my fodorite friends! gyppie

There are restaurants in business centers that get good reviews in Honolulu, but we enjoy oceanside dining in Hawaii. One of our favorites is Orchids, at the beautiful Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki. The restaurant has and outstanding view of Diamond Head and a relaxed feel to it, along with delicious food. A House without a Key, which has live music at sunset for cocktails is good too.

Yes! You can find Aloha Tower Marketplace by following Nimitz Highway when you exit the airport. Real easy. You don't say what day of the week you're coming, but Chai's Island Bistro has live entertainment nightly and his calendar is posted on his website. With your time frame, I'd have sunset cocktails at Gordon Biersch or Don Ho's, then head to Chai's for dinner.

gyppielou, just beware things do not always go as planned, we had the same idea when we had a layover in HNL on our way home. Unfortunately, we ended up with a delay leaving Kona airport and the shuttle at HNL between terminals took over a hour. By the time we made it to the main terminal we were would be really tight on time and the lines were long at security. Ended up eating in the airport. I would check out if ground transportation is available from the terminal you fly into and skip the shuttle.

g'lou..I second Melissa's nomination for dinner at Chai's. We had an excellent dinner there just recently. Chai himself seated us. Robert Cazimero was the entertainment when we were there and was outstanding.
Btw, is our next fodor GTG at you new place on Kauai? You still looking while you are there?
