Rehearsal Dinner- North Shore Oahu
 

Seeking a nice restaurant )ocean view a plus) for approximately 25 people (mostly visitors from mainland and Europe) this summer. Most guests will be staying at Turtle Bay Resort but want to hold rehearsal dinner someplace other than the resort. Is Haleiwa the only reasonable nearby choice? Any recommendations? Is Crouching Lion too far and too funky???

Jameson's is probably your best bet for that:

If you decide you want to stay at the resort for the dinner, however, Ola is a wonderful choice:

Chef Fred DeAngelo does some amazing things with local ingredients!

I haven't been to Crouching Lion in a while, so can't say. It may be a bit of a drive.
