Let me first start off by saying the food here is delicious. A lot of it is finger food, at least the dishes we ordered. My favorite was these chicken wings that were a little bit spicy. all the food had some sort of dip or spread, they were all very good. The best part of the meal was definitely the dessert. The rum cake was light, and the gingerbread cookies had a molasses taste to them and an amazing crunch of sugar on top. the service was top notch too! it was very quick and the waiters were so personable. I can imagine it would be hard to find parking, as there are only three stalls out front and one of them is handicap.

This is an exquisite experience. Took my bestie for her birthday and the ambience was cozy, sheik and nostalgic. The food phenomenal and a great variety of traditional and modern dishes to choose from. The service was the top from host to chef everyone was so welcoming and made you feel like you are family. Book early cause the place was packed til closing and heard it's hard to get reservations. I lucked out!

I felt like I stepped into a quinta in Portugal when I came through the cork clad door of Faria. The decor is quaint, thoughtful, and perfectly Portuguese, with authentic Fado music playing gently in the background. Every dish was extremely flavorful, and I was excited to see that they have some Portuguese wine options, as well as even home made ginjinha which was delicious. This is an absolute must visit, and a great addition to the dining options in Kailua!

Wow! What an incredible dining experience. The friendly service, beautiful ambience, and delicious food all exceeded my expectations. We went for date night to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and were surprised with 2 delicious glasses of wine. The restaurant is family owned and operated, and multiple of the Faria family members introduced themselves and wished us a happy anniversary. Eating at Faria really feels like you were invited to the family home in Portugal and they’re serving you what they would eat. We had the sardine skillet appetizer, the pot roast, and the fisherman’s stew - everything was so delicious and flavorful. This is my new favorite restaurant in all of Hawaii, and one of the best I’ve been to in the world! The prices were quite reasonable for the amount of food an

Faria is a pleasureful spot to have a meal. The decor is very homie, and the staff if exceptionally friendly. Combine that with great food and you have a recipe for success. I really enjoyed everything about our meal and suspect that you will as well.
