Haleiwa Joe's Haiku Gardens

They do not take reservations and open at 5 PM. While you wait for your table you can make your way down to the gardens for photos at the gazebo or just the open lawn with surrounding plants and flowers.

The food was delicious and I would get everything again. We were fortunate enough to have a spot right at the edge of the restaurant that overlooked the gardens.

Service was pretty quick but I think the servers were stretched thin because it took awhile to see our server to get dessert and the check.

Overall, I would definitely go back!

Good food, amazing service and stunning views of the mountains. My wife and I dined her for the first time in September and had a great time. We waited in line 30 minutes before the restaurant opened and quite the line had formed by the time they opened so you may want to get here early. We were seated at a very sunny table and asked to be moved to a table in the shade which the staff did not hesitate to oblige. I got the sticky ribs which were dry and salty while my wife got the New York Strip Steak which she enjoyed. While you wait for your table, be sure to walk around the Haiku Gardens.

If you want a good seat you have to arrive early. But boy is it still worth the wait if you don't get in the first seating. The ambience is amazing to match the food. Although the price is a little steep, the portion sizes are large and the flavors are great. We opted for the prime rib and macadamia nut crusted fish which turned out to be marlin. Both were excellent.

We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday and it did not disappoint. We walked down to the pond while waiting for our table (which you have to sign up for in person - it was a
1.5 hour wait at 6pm on a Tuesday). The pond, ambiance, pagoda, etc were amazing. Our son had a ton of fun there. We got a text that our table was ready so up we went. We ordered the prime rib and whole fried fish, along with the crab dip and calamari fries - everything was amazing!! And to my wife's high standards. We all had such a great time. Definitely recommend. Also, thanks to the hostess for giving us a prime location right overlooking the pond. Beautiful

Amazing service, food, drinks and atmosphere. Fair prices for delicious food. You truly can’t beat the view and wonderful service. Not once did we feel rushed. The little things like extra guava butter and waters always filled. We arrived a little before sunset, had time to walk the gardens and then take our seat. Truly magical place amongst the mountains. We ordered the calamari fries, grilled fish with pesto and lobster sauce over mashed potatoes and the macadamia nut chicken salad. Drinks were delicious and good price! Wish we could dine here every night!
