Dinner and life happening Great food, service and the view of the harbor is awesome. The only hiccup was slight and it happens, which was our food runner wasted water on me. I felt bad cause the kid didn't mean it. The staff reaction outside of the kid who was apologetic was very nonchalant. They kept pushing dessert which was ok but not a sweets person so it felt like their answer to sorry but an actual sorry and showing of emotion would be okay. Outside of this scenario I recommend the place.
Unexpected Delicious Meal! I wish I could give them 5 stars because the food is THAT good! We made a reservation (which I HIGHLY recommend doing) but even with the reservation they seemed confused on where to put us. They might be short staffed because it took 10 minutes to even get a hello from our server. Who, I will say was lovely but we could tell he just had too many tables, so we didn't get the level of attention we would hope for but the host came around to check on us and get us drinks. I ordered the chicken teriyaki for my entree & the tomato & onion salad for an appetizer and both were delicious! My husband ordered the clam chowder for his appetizer and it was good but the unexpected stand out came from the Filet, which was probably one of the best steaks we have ever had and we have gone to very expensive steakhouses all over. The cooked it perfectly and it was a huge size (10 oz). We would definitely be back! (p.s there isn't a ton of parking in the parking lot so just account for that)
Amazing eggs Benedict Amazing food, spectacular view. Best crab Benedict ever, amazing creamy sauce, and the option of gluten free English muffin that was really good, I had mine with the rice. Everything with mine was on point. Awesome Kona coffee. And a guava mimosa . And a pineapple mimosa. Everything was very good.
Highly recommended Family owned restaurant with great location (free parking at the back) food and friendly staff. We had dinner there 3 times and enjoyed every meal.
Delightful Rebecca: Breakfast at Fish Hopper With its splendid setting, the Fish Hopper on Ali'i Drive recently provided an exceptional breakfast experience. We were welcomed with immediate seating, which set the tone for a pleasant visit. Our server, Rebecca, was a standout, enhancing our experience with her delightful demeanor and efficient service. I opted for the biscuits and gravy, a dish that was cooked to perfection. The subtly spiced gravy added a delightful, unique, and satisfying flavor. Meanwhile, my daughter ordered the eggs benedict with the fried potatoes and proclaimed them the best on the island, a testament to the quality of the food served here. The rest of our group enjoyed a variety of typical breakfast items, each dish meeting or exceeding our expectations. The entire meal was delightful, and considering the quality and quantity of the food, the total cost of $160 for six people felt quite reasonable. Overall, the Fish Hopper combines efficient service, exquisite flavors, and a charming atmosphere to offer a memorable breakfast experience. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy a morning meal in a beautiful setting.

All good Vickie, our server, was excellent. After many disappointments at other island restaurants, we were so pleased that they had paper straws. Food was excellent. Respect for veterans was admirable. View of the water is very pleasant. Recommend going when cruise ship passengers have departed. - 1 month ago

Amazing fresh fish specials We have eaten here before for breakfast, and this time we tried dinner. They have big wave on tap and their fish special was a macadamia nut crusted special on some sort of webbed potatoes and it was amazing! The service is good and the view is nice as well. - 1 month ago

So yummy!! Ate here on a Friday night, it was super busy but we had a reservation. We had a party of 8 and our server was great. Got our food and drinks quickly. They bring around a dessert tray to show you the desserts (and make it impossible to pass up). I had the macadamia mahi mahi. It was delicious. - 1 year ago

Best place we've eaten so far! My husband and I shared the salad special which was incredible. He got the shrimp trio and I got the fish tacos. Everything was great. The coconut shrimp in the shrimp trio was my favorite aside from the salad. The service was also wonderful and you can't beat the scenery. Would highly recommend. In fact, we may visit again before our trip is over. - 1 year ago

Food was good, service was quick and kind. Couldn't ask for a better view, only down side was only 6 pieces of shrimp for a $30 dish. - 1 year ago

The restaurant has very nice view of the ocean. You and sit and have a POG mimosa (highly recommended) while watching people swim/train. The loco moco is very good. Their brown gravy is delicious. The service was excellent the first day we went but on the second time it was just okay. Nothing terrible but the first day was much better. Also the fruit plate was not good, all the fruit was bland. Also the Kona fried rice was salty. It looked delicious and it was overly salty where I couldn't eat but more than my liking.

One of our favorite places on the big island. The view of the bay is fantastic. Get there off peak times and sit on the rail to people watch. High tide with onshore winds are amusing to observe. If you've been there you know what I'm talking about.

My first time going to this restaurant. It was our last dinner before leaving the Big Island! I ordered salad, salmon with vegetables and rice and had bread pudding for dessert. Every part of the meal was delicious! We made reservations ahead of time and were seated at a table with a view of the ocean! It was a great experience for our last day. I will come back the next time we visit Kona - 1 year ago

I came here for breakfast and the food was absolutely delicious! I had to splurge and get a dessert. I selected the mango lime cheesecake, but they all looked amazing! I will definitely return to try more out! - 1 year ago

Stopped here during cruise ship vacation. Very happening place in Kona, Hi. Takes longer to get your food but it is good food. Happy hour margarita and blood Mary was watery. Kids grilled cheese was amazing. Grilled chicken sandwich was fresh and good. Expensive for lunch but worth it. Good for groups. - 1 year ago
