We drove the saddle road then returned via Waimea. Just late afternoon we arrived in town, and drove around looking for a place to eat . It was a Wednesday in January, but many restaurants in town were fully reserved! So we wound up at Daniel Thiebauts. There is good parking. It was fun to wander around and look at... more

We went to this restaurant three times in two weeks because the food was just fantastic. Everything was well seasoned and well prepared and interesting. The French-Asian mix yields some very interesting flavors. The first time we went we had a large group and it was a cold night. The first table we were shown was too drafty and the... more

We had lunch at Daniel Thiebaut Restaurant in Feb 09. The waitress was young and inexperienced and could not even recommend a wine to pair with our lunch (one of the things they brag about is their wine selection) so we just picked one--poor choice, but that's not the issue. By the time we finally got our meal (took over... more

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant. Great ambience, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, well chosen wine list, and most importantly, great food. Waimea is a welcomechange from the Kohala Coast (bring a sweater!) and this old building a refreshing alternative to all of the big resorts and modern chain restaurants like Ruth's Chris and Tommy Bahama. The decor... more

When: Jan. 17, 2009, 6:30 pm Party of 3 Entrees Ordered: Hunan Style Rack of Lamb, Lilikoi Beef Brisket and Fresh catch of the day.

The food was prepared and tasted well. Service... more

This restaurant could be much better if Mr. Thiebaut would only put some effort into improving the service level of his wait staff. Our cocktail order took forever to arrive. When the drinks finally came, so did our salad. I like to enjoy a cocktail BEFORE my meal arrives! The salads were fresh and delicious. I had to ask for... more

Great food, but quite expensive for what it was (and we're used to expensive food - we're from San Francisco). Unique building and great service. more

While the food was excellent, the service was not. He brought our appetizers before the wine, the main course was at our table before we finished our appetizers. We had to stack our own plates to make room for the main course. The waiter also forgot to bring wine glasses after he had opened the wine bottle. So he had... more
