Oahu restaurants

Going March 18-25. Spring Break and 15th wedding anniversary. Will be staying at Four Seasons for most nights, but will stay at Ritz in Waikiki last two nights. Any restaurant recommendations? Daughter can be a picky eater, so take that into consideration. Would like a nice place last night in Waikiki for anniversary dinner. Thanks

Sounds like you can afford almost anywhere, Oahu and in particular those hotel areas have some seriously nice and high end restaurants.

I've heard Mina's which is inside the Four Seasons is excellent but have not been there myself
The Pig and The Lady in town is great (a little more casual)
Mud Hen Water is in that same category
Helena's in town for traditional, very inexpensive
You have to go to Giovanni's shrimp truck if you are going to head to the NS one day
I've heard Senia is incredible for a blowout type meal but haven't been there
Inside the Ritz Carlton is Sushi Sho, would not recommended taking a picky eater there
Any Duke's location is always good

Wife and I were in Waikiki in late October. Earl's Kitchen & Bar was by far the best restaurant experience we had. It's a newer place with a bit of a high-end feel but good energy. It's not stale/stuffy like some high-end places can be and the menu is great for picky eaters. I highly recommend it.

I second the NS food trucks.
There are a few different areas that they are parked at-
The first set you come to traveling north is nice, but the next one is smaller , but ocean views and can rent snorkel gear to go across the street, there’s a park with shower/bathrooms. Coffee trucks, shaved ice, shrimp truck, taco truck …. We ate at that location 2-3 times on a 7day stay.

Dukes in Outrigger is great. SKY has great view.
Both are Waikiki options
I second visiting the food truck spots on North Shore

Thanks. We will definitely be headed to north shore and the food trucks. Have reservation at House without a key just to have but will look at others.

My wife and I ate at Mina’s Fish House for my birthday. Excellent food and the scenery at sunset was amazing. Highly recommend.

Without question AT LEAST get there before sunset, ask for a table on the grass and get pu-pus and drinks when the music starts around sunset.
Dinner is "skippable" but not because it's bad just because I think the pu-pus and drinks are sufficient but we're not HUGE eaters.
Personally, I think Giovanni's is extremely overrated but the food truck park and beer garden was still worth a stop on the drive back.
Monkey Pod and Roys are both solid as well and both have places out neat Ko Olina if you're over that way

I like poke bowls. The best poke bowl I have ever eaten came from the food court of the mall in downtown Waikiki.

You can get them at the supermarket deli counter by weight. Very cool way to do it affordably

Hear me out on this:
If you want a neat cozy, basic restaurant/bar, with good food and fantastic generously-sized drinks, a place that is reasonable and a steal price-wise, take a look at the Harbor Pub & Pizza right next to the Ala Wai Boat Harbor, very close to The Illikai. We liked it so much when we went there in 2024 that we went there a 2nd night.
It's a hole in the wall dive (really more a hole in the ground, a half-basement with the windows at street level) with a lot of character:

Same. I guess we have good seafood where I am at in Florida because I was like yep it taste like Garlic and shrimp. I waited 30 min in line for this is what I told my wife.
Huli Huli chicken right around that vicinity if you looking for something delicious on the North Shore.
