Hostess asked right away if we had reservation? No we didn't and good number of tables were available. Ah oh! Well we did get a nice table and Rio was our waiter. Pleasant guy and eager to be of service: things looking up. Rio asked if we wish a drink and I ordered a beer and my wife ordered a Moc Pina Colada. Both came out promptly and Rio even remembered that Blue Moon needs a slice of orange which he brought out in a separate plate. My wife enjoyed her drink also. They have a wide selection of mixed cocktails, wine and beer.
Since it was late dinner for us I ordered a Ahi Tuna & shrimp salad and my wife crab cakes. Nicely presented and tasty both. Btw Rio check on us a number of times. We did share a carrot cake for dessert which was also excellent. Overall despite the strange welcome this restaurant is a repeat place for us when we come back. Btw it is located on main street across from the bay. ...READ LESSDennis K.1 day agoWent here today on our trip to the Kona side. Food was great we had Calamari and Clam Chowder.

My daughter wasn't to impressed the the cheese pizza but it wasn't bad. We where greeted right way when walking in however the service we got while being there was lacking. We got asked one time if we needed anything and that was about it. Food was dropped off and the waiter finally came around as we were about to finish. Also during that time we sat there for about 15 mins just waiting for our bill before our server returned. I understand short staffing if that was an issue but that wasn't the case there was multiple servers walking around the restaurant. We were shoved into the back corner of the restaurant. During a happy hour special we weren't handed the happy hour menu we had to request it as well. Would return but I feel like with out toddler and a 7 year old. The drinks where good also. ...READ LESS

I would have given them a 5 but the bloody Mary's are watered down. The crab eggs Benedict and crab omelette were AMAZING!! Service was okay.

We had dinner on Mother's Day (just beat the rush), and brunch. The dinner entrées were fresh fish and starters with a bottle of wine for $200. The portions were good sized although I thought my entree, which was Mahi and grilled shrimp, should have included more than 2 shrimp. The same for my husband who had opakapaka and garlic shrimp. Each fish portion was a large serving and very tasty. The starters, coconut shrimp appetizer and also a maui onion, tomato and goat cheese salad were also tasty. The brunch was a combo teriyaki steak, kalua pork and coconut shrimp and macaroni salad and was not cheap. While the steak portion was large, there was a woeful lack of pork, and again, only 2 shrimp. But the food is good quality and tasty, and the shrimp are all good sized, large, meaty shrimps. Easily, one of the better macaroni salads, not too much mayonnaise. I will come back to try the burger with shrimp skewer, it looked really good. ...READ LESS

Clean deep fry oil, light crispy batter with perfect seasonings around TENDER calamari. And the service was perfect! YES! ... So why only 4 stars you ask? I was sitting at the makai end of the bar as it's the ONLY place a single person can be seated with a great ocean view. However, the view was being blocked by huge tall bags of take out orders. A server in hearing me say something, moved them over on top of the dessert tray display, so I was very happy. But then a bit later some more new take out orders were place in front of that fabulous view again. So I just gave up and left. However, I will come back if the take out bags could ALWAYS be placed on top of the dessert cooler display. And hey how about making more room up there by placing the 2 lunch and then 2 dinner plate specials plate displays at the end of the bar instead ... with a big sign "OUR SPECIALS" hanging down pointing up to the 2 plates ... because on top of the dessert cooler, they are too high for most to even notice ... but at bar level would perfect for the folks waiting to be seated to SEE! And be wowed! ...READ LESS

We parked in public parking for a price. Walked about 1/4 mile and was given a seat super fast. We ordered with Vinny. He was awesome and attentive. The food was so good and only took 15 mins to arrive. Great view and sweet place to go while walking around Ali`i Drive.

I had the parmesan crusted Mahi Mahi. It was delicious. My wife had the seafood medley which she absolutely loved. The wasabi mashed potatoes were awesome and the vegetables were cooked just right. We were able to get a table right by the open windows so we had a great view of the water. For dessert we had the guava cake which as out of this world. Neither of us drink so I cannot say anything about their drinks. All restaurants on the island are pricey. So if you're going to spend your hard earned money , you'll want to get some of the best bang for your buck here. They have parking right behind the restaurant. We are locals. ...READ LESS
