I ordered the sesame boneless chicken. My father ordered the grilled mahi mahi sandwich and my mother ordered the chicken pot pie. My plate was piled with food and I even had enough to take home for dinner. The chicken was nice and crispy and cooked to perfection. My father grilled mahi mahi sandwich was loaded with mahi mahi. There was so much mahi mahi that he had to remove some and eat it on the side. The fries were hearty and cooked perfectly. My mom's chicken pot pie was perfectly seasoned and flaky. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the breeze was blowing perfectly through the restaurant. I would suggest paying attention to the weather as it probably can get cold once it starts raining. The service was impeccable. The waiter was attentive to the things we needed and even brought a refill of our drinks before we even noticed we needed one.

Water was never refilled and hardly anyone there eating. Ambiance was nice if you sit next to windows to see golf course. Otherwise you are looking in the kitchen area. Not sure if I would return.

On our last few trips to Hilo, we stayed at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel and haven't been disappointed…read more For convenience, the hotel has two restaurants in the lobby. Wai Oli is also two businesses in one - it serves as a morning/brunch cafe for coffee and pastries, then transforms into a casual evening restaurant for dinner as well as live music and a bar space. On our first night we were too tired to go out in the rain, so we tried the Red Rice with Chamorro spices and sauces, and a Club sandwich with fries. The food is excellent, prices about what you'd expect in a hotel. The tap list is also pretty good with macro lagers and locally brewed selections from Big Island Brewhaus and Hilo Brewing Co among others. Service is good, with friendly servers. The view is also excellent with clear views of Hilo Bay right outside. They also have outdoor tables on the lanai.

III years ago, I moved from Cali to Hilo & it was da best decision of my "La Vita Loca", but I…read moregotta' admit I do miss the "Caliente Cuisine"... I'm not jus' talkin' about "Miami Heat"... I'm talkin' about seducing, sizzling, savory favors... Imagine my surprise when I casually & curiously "two-stepped" into Da Coco Cantina & found myself in "Margaritaville" ... Let's begin with the open-space ambiance where the "waiting area" tempts you into da cocktail lounge hosted by a seasoned "Barista"... & I'm not talkin' about a "frappuccino"... these are real blended, shaken, & stirred drinks! If you have any, "Faith in La Vita", then have faith in Da Coco Cantina Crew (DCCC)... they will guide your platte into an "Endless Summer"... My Faith took me towards a Jalapeño Margarita, a splash of Hawaiian Ono, accompanied with tres amigos soft-taco carnitas... all the flavors well balanced, the carnitas juicy and tender, and healthy hearty portions... Walking out, I saw a sign "off the wall", I did a "double-take"... #Espresso_Martini ? Now that's got me curious about their desserts... Oh, Coco Cantina... you've got a way to entice da locals to get a little Coco loco... Mahalo, @Shaka_Vee

Extremely disappointed with our experience here. My family and I came in expecting to enjoy our…read morenight, but it ended up being one of the worst bar experiences we've had. We went up to the bar multiple times and were refused water 3 separate times. We also tried placing a food order, but the bartender told us food orders had to go through the server -- the issue was that no server came to our table for almost 2 hours. We were basically left sitting there unable to order. To make things worse, when it was time to close our tab, it took around 30 minutes just to get our cards back. The bar also felt extremely overcrowded to the point there was barely room to move around safely or comfortably. I understand places get busy, but being ignored, unable to order food, and waiting excessive amounts of time for basic service is unacceptable. Overall, the bartender experience and service completely ruined the night for us. We won't be returning.

The staff just kept playing their own stuff which is fine, but not if you're charging people for stuff you're not gonna give them. Also the drinks were very watered down and the staff had a very poor attitude even in lieu of the service they were not providing. And all with a spending minimum? For what? Being ignored? Would give it a half star if I could. Very bad experience. Will not be returning.
