Isn't it only required for indoor dining? Depending on your definition of indoor dining, you could say that I only dine indoors in Hawaii a handful of times during any given vacation. If you consider a place that has a roof but is open to the air on the sides to be "outdoors", then most restaurants especially in tourist areas are outdoors, not indoors.

Are there any recent on-the-ground reports to confirm that the iOS 15 Apple Wallet digital vaccine card is being accepted by restaurants/businesses in Hawaii? (I can confirm that it is a SMART card that can be digitally verified using the Verifier App / Commons project....but not sure if Hawaii hospitality merchants are required to do so each time, or just visually inspect and compare name to photo ID)
Overall, every place seemed to have a well organized approach The only minor inconvenience was fishing out the ID from wallet etc.

Was in HNL over thanksgiving and used the Apple wallet digital card, the CLEAR app health record, and a copy of the CDC card at various times. In all cases, the food place asked to see the details of the vaccination to confirm fully vaccinated status and also a photo ID to confirm ID. None of the places we went to used QR scanners or seemed to have the ability to do so.
For instance, even at my local gym here in the Bay Area, the QR code in of itself wasn't sufficient, and before entering it into their system as "vaccinated allowed entry," they required both a photo ID and the details of each administered vaccination dose.

Similar experience.

Are children under 12 required to be vaccinated to eat in restaurants with their parents?

Not sure if this may change in the near future when all kids 5-12 will have the opportunity to get fully vaccinated.

Recently returned from HNL after a 5 day stay. United at LAX was giving out wristbands - but surprisingly there were a lot of passengers who did not get them. Upon arriving, around 1/3 of the passengers did not display a wristband and went off to another area while we breezed through.
Waikiki was pretty active, lots of tourists but not overly crowded. A lot of the boutique stores were closed and the airport duty free shops were pretty much all closed. What was really noticeable was the absolute absence of any Japanese tourists. Pretty much zero. I was pleased to see the restaurants taking the vaccine card check seriously.

Maybe this will be part of the enduring legacy of Covid. If we're lucky.

A test is not needed if you are fully vaccinated...just show your digital vaccine cert (if you have one) or your paper CDC card, or a photo/scan of your CDC card. Plus photo ID.

OP, yes an antigen test within 48 hours is fine for restaurant entry.
What is an acceptable negative COVID-19 test?
● A negative test result must be a U.S. Food and Drug Administration emergency use authorization, or approved molecular test, or antigen test taken within 48 hours of entry to a business included in this emergency order.
● And identification with the same information as the negative COVID-19 test.
