La Mariana Restaurant & Bar
This is the real deal when it comes to an original tiki bar, outfitted with tchochkes from previous tiki bars, such as the beloved Tahitian Lanai. It's a hangout for kama'aina who enjoy heartfelt group sing-alongs around the piano bar. The food remains in period — breaded shrimp, pepper steak, mahimahi Florentine — but atmosphere and owner Annette Nahinu's sense of fun is the real draw.
