Fodor's Expert Review Lilikoi Grill

You'll find bamboo mats, tropical plants, and knickknacks at this festive Hawaiian-themed restaurant set amid downtown Seaside's souvenir stores and candy shops. The menu mixes island-inspired recipes with both local and Hawaii ingredients. Consider the starters of kalua pork quesadillas and coconut shrimp with papaya mango chutney, before moving on to Kona coffee–braised short ribs, or the local catch of the day with red curry and apple-jicama slaw. The owners also operate the adjoining Irish Pub, a good spot for imported beers and hearty American and Irish fare.
