Romantic Seafood Dinner for Two in Side Old Town

For a romantic seafood dinner for two in Side old town, book a quiet table at Hawaii Restaurant and share the Mixed Sea Plate (For 2), or pair grilled sea bass with a salmon plank and a glass of wine. Open daily 10:00–02:00, with free hotel pickup from selected hotels.

Seafood built for two, not just for one

Date night is easier when you're not negotiating over who ordered better. That's the whole idea behind our Mixed Sea Plate (For 2) — one generous, shareable platter designed for a couple to graze through together, slowly, between sips and conversation. It's the seafood-first centrepiece of a romantic evening at Hawaii Restaurant, tucked into the narrow lanes of Side old town at 512. Sk. We've been grilling here since 2000, and a two-person plate is still the most romantic order on the table.

Prefer to build your own pairing? Order a Grilled Sea bass for one of you and a Salmon plank for the other, then trade bites. Both come off our wood-fire and charcoal grill, which gives the fish that clean, smoky edge you can't get from a pan. See the full spread and current prices on our menu.

What to share at the table

Beyond the plate for two, the seafood list gives couples plenty to explore. Start light and shareable with Calamari or Grilled prawns, then move to a proper main. Our regulars come back for the Grilled Sea bass, the Grilled Black bream, and the Grilled Trout — simple, honest fish over charcoal. If you like your seafood rich and slow-cooked, the Calamari casserole and Shrimps casserole are made to be spooned across two plates. There's also a Fish Fillet for anyone who wants theirs boneless and easy.

Two dishes deserve their own spotlight for a couple. The Mixed Sea Plate for two is the no-fuss way to taste a bit of everything, and the salmon plank is the one people photograph before they eat it.

Pair it with a drink

Hawaii is a bar as well as a grill, so your seafood doesn't have to drink alone. There's wine by the glass for the sea bass, and more than 30 cocktails if you'd rather toast the evening. Time it right and you'll catch Happy Hour from 19:00 to 20:00. For something to remember the night by, look at our signature Blue Hawaii cocktails — a bright, easy pour that suits a warm Side evening in the old-town lanes.

A note for couples who care: all our meat and chicken are halal (halal slaughter), and we're a genuinely family-friendly room. We do also serve alcohol, since we're a bar too, and pork is available only on request in a separate area with dedicated equipment. So order with confidence either way.

A quiet table in the old town

What makes a seafood dinner feel romantic isn't just the fish — it's the room around it. We'll seat you somewhere calmer in the old town when you ask, away from the karaoke and the live sport (football, Premier League, Champions League, Formula 1 and hockey) that keep the rest of the night lively. Tell us it's a special evening and we'll do our best to give you a corner and a slower pace. If you want the full picture of the setting, our guide to the most romantic restaurant in Side walks you through it.

Not in the mood for fish? A romantic seafood night pairs beautifully with a shared steak course another evening — our Chateaubriand dinner for two follows the same made-for-couples idea, off the same charcoal grill.
