It goes without saying that a superb meal is one of the most popular ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Jewelry is also near the top of the list.
Waikiki Beach Walk has all that and more. So much more.
Here’s our top five (and a half) ways.
1. FIRST UP, THE TRIED AND TRUE
You pretty much can’t go wrong with superb meal on Valentine’s Day. Here’s where Waikiki Beach Walk really shines. We not only have the finest in eloquent, white linen dining, but also nonconformist healthy fare for those who might be still sticking to a New Year diet.
And at the top of the dining list, we give you
Ruth’s Chris Steak House.
Ruth’s Chris has been helping people celebrate special occasions (like, for instance, Valentine’s Day), or just a special night out with family or friends with the finest steaks, superb service, and a level of hospitality that has made Ruth’s Chris America’s premium steakhouse since 1965.
And for Valentine’s Day, Ruth’s Chris wants you to Savor the Romance, One Bite at a Time, and to do this they are pulling out all the stops, with a special Porterhouse for Two entrée, featuring a hearty, 40 oz cut of USDA Prime porterhouse with the richness of a strip and the tenderness of a filet, and at 40 ounces, perfect for sharing. (Even into tomorrow.)
Pair it with a RCSH signature side dish like Au Gratin potatoes, grilled asparagus, cremini mushrooms, and let’s not forget the traditional baked potato (with all the extras), and of course a fine wine from their extensively exquisite wine cellar.
Finally, to make sure this Valentine’s Day becomes your most special Valentine’s Day, Ruth’s Chris will have special hours on February 14 and 15, opening at 3PM and serving until 10PM.
With all this, reservations are strongly recommended. Make yours here:

Better yet...
Start your Valentine’s Day a little earlier.
Chef Roy Yamamguchi was one of the originators of Pacific Region Cuisine, thereby forever cementing his namesake restaurant's association to crisp, clean Pacific-Asian inspired fusion cuisine, as well as elegant dining.
Because Roy's has all the elements to delight the stomach and melt the heart ...creative cooking crafted with the freshest ingredients, locally produced whenever possible... Roy’s is the perfect choice for a sumptuous Valentine's Day meal.
And Roy’s has now started lunch service just in time for Valentine’s Day, so you can start rewarding your love all day long.
Roy’s lunch service starts daily at 11:30 am, running to 2 pm, and features exciting new lunch menu items along with a few of Roy's iconic dishes like the Misoyaki Butterfish, Bigeye Blackened Ahi, and his celebrated, and oh so tender and tasty Chinese Style Steamed Snapper.
But you don’t have to run at 2PM, because that’s when Happy Hour starts (if you weren’t happy enough already, but hey, it’s Valentine’s Day)!
Then it’s just one or two perfectly blended delicious cocktails on the lanai (at special prices) before -how ‘bout that!- it’s time for dinner service at 4:30, and you can have that second-choice dish that you passed on at lunch, and wondered what it tasted like.
And don’t forget to finish by sharing Roy's dreamy Melting Hot Chocolate Soufflé with creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Seriously, did you think we'd forget that?!
2. THE NEXT STEP
Most people would agree that jewelry is the undisputed number one Valentine's Day gift.
However, not all Valentine's are equal, and in some instances a gift of jewelry could be inappropriate. Like a relative or an old friend.
Other instances could be timing. And if you are hesitant because you think the time isn’t right, this is your chance to change that. Because everyone knows a gift of jewelry will take things to the next level.
And as long as you are moving up levels, why not hopscotch up several of them with a game-changing gift from Na Hoku ... Hawaii’s finest jewelers since 1924.
Because Na Hoku not only features fine jewelry with premium metals and precious stones, but it also features unique designs that evoke nature and the spirit of living in Hawaii (which, really, are pretty much the same thing).
Case in point:
the Kuuipo Bracelet, in classic Hawaiian Heirloom style. Kuuipo means "sweetheart" in Hawaiian, and when you put that message in the distinctive Hawaiian Heirloom style, with 14K yellow gold on a cable chain, you are saying I love you in a uniquely Hawaiian way.
Or the newly released
Nautilus Pearl Pendant, a gorgeous 8mm pink freshwater pearl nestled in a striking Nautilus design floating on a 17-inch chain in 14K rose gold. Only to be given if you want to express your love as being like the ocean, at once eternal and ever-changing.
Either way, you will be giving your loved one a piece that shows the depth of your feelings and nature's elegance. A heartfelt statement worth 200 candlelit dinners. Or more.
3. CHARM ‘EM
For those who want maximum charm without the bling, an enchanting gift from SoHa Living is just the ticket.
Why? Because SoHa Living is a home decor and gift store that embodies the Hawaii lifestyle of leisure, vacation, discovery, coastal chic and tropical luxury.
They specialize in distinctive and clever gifts that are unique to, from, and about Hawaii that are not carried anywhere else. So if you want to express your love with a light touch in the whimsey of amusing card, pillow, sign or tote bag, SoHa Living is your place.
And did we mention they are at Waikiki Beach Walk?
3.5: BE KIND TO THE KEIKI
Of course, love is a beautiful thing, and as many know, one of the beautiful byproducts of love are children.
Also known as love sponges. As in ready-made to give and receive plenty of love. And if you’d like to give plenty to yours this Valentine’s Day, you’re in luck, because right next to SoHa Living is SoHa Keiki, ready to help you shower your keiki (Hawaiian for “child”) with lovely items that will have everyone talking about what a great parent you are.
4. LOVE IS MEANT TO BE SHARED
If there’s one thing about love that pretty much everyone agrees on, it’s if it feels good, then go for it.
And at Blue Sky Thai Massage and Spa, going for it never felt so good.
Blue Sky Thai Massage & Spa is Honolulu's No. 1 traditional Thai massage practice, offering authentic Thai massage with an experienced, knowledgeable staff in a modern, tranquil and family-friendly environment.
In other words, it feels good.
And by employing essential oils, plant-based compounds and aromatherapy, Blue Sky improves your mood and health along with being therapeutic and relaxing.
In other words, it's also good for you.
And at Blue Sky Thai Massage and Spa, couples are always welcome, providing a deep, relaxing shared experience that is just footsteps away from some of the finest restaurants and sweet shops in Waikiki.
In other words, endless love.
5. THE CLASSIC
“Sweets for your sweet” is a Valentine’s Day classic.
Waikiki Beach Walk not only has the sweetest classics like cake, cookies and ice cream, but many healthy choices in case your love is adhering to their New Years' resolution. One of the best selections would be from Nalu Health Bar & Café.
Appropriately named, Nalu is totally environmentally and health conscious, and its “healthy-good menu” is beloved by Hawaii locals, with locally sourced and organic ingredients, which are generously incorporated, whenever possible.
This also means healthy treats made from the highest quality fresh ingredients, including very special grade A açaí berries directly imported from Brazil, which is the reason why they get raves for its açaí bowls in particular.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Nalu Health Bar & Cafe is introducing Coco Pink, a delicious smoothie of strawberry, mango, pineapple, papaya, orange, coconut milk and agave.
It sounds like a lot but trust us, it works, and it's delicious!
And the perfect color for Valentine's Day.
