    Dinner at Hawaii Calls was an okay experience. The carne asade steak was tough and the tacos weren't as flavorful as we hoped & truffle fries were a disappointment -- though the staff were friendly and attentive. The indoor ambiance is nice and comfortable, but overall the food didn't quite live up to expectations. A decent spot if you're nearby, but not a standout dining experience.

    Lobster Mac & Cheese

    The service was excellent with fast well-timed orders and attentive refills of our waters. The ambiance is extravagantly gorgeous with tiki flames, a view of the infinity pool, and the ocean across the distance. The Oysters tasted fresh with a well paired and light vinegar sauce. Some were very meaty while others were fairly small. The Pizza was hot & fresh from the oven with an excellent melt on the cheese and a delicious crust. Funny enough, this was our cheapest dish and also happened to be my favorite. The Lobster Mac & Cheese had plenty of Lobster meat with a full claw and several other chunks of meat. This had plenty of cheesy flavor with fun bread crumb toppings. The Mahi Mahi came with a well-cooked rice and tasty veggies. The cook on the Mahi Mahi was a tad over for my taste but had a fresh, well-seasoned taste. Surpassed my expectations and I will be coming again multiple times throughout my trip!

    Of note, it seems like many of their current dinner menu options (as of 09/2024) have changed from what is shown on Yelp photos! Be sure to check their website which has an updated menu. If you find yourself in Waikoloa, don't miss Hawaii Calls Restaurant! This gem at the Marriott Waikoloa Beach Club Resort is a the perfect spot for a leisurely and delicious meal. We kicked off our meal with the Pupu Baby Back Ribs appetizer--and wow! They were fall-off-the-bone tender, glazed with a delicious BBQ sauce that had just the right kick. Perfect for sharing. We also ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese (HIGHLY recommend). This dish was the ultimate comfort food! Creamy, rich, and packed with chunks of lobster. There are also sautéed mushrooms that really add to the dish. As mentioned it is pretty creamy; with that being said, I would recommend splitting this and another entree, as it is very rich! It's definitely a must-try if you're a fan of mac and cheese! We had the Smash Burger as well. Juicy and flavorful, it came topped with a kimchi slaw as well as pork belly. I do think the bun was a little dense for my personal preference, but it didn't take away from the meal. I would say it was a tasty burger if you're looking for a burger, but I probably would opt to try something different if I return to the area. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who ensured we had everything we needed. The ocean views added to the experience, making it even more special. The restaurant doesn't get too loud at night which is great if you're trying to catch up with family and friends. Overall, Hawaii Calls Restaurant is a delightful spot to enjoy fantastic food in a beautiful setting. I would recommend it --whether you're staying at the resort or just passing through!

    My family and I were staying at the Marriott, so we had some coupons from the hotel for free drinks. The staff here is really friendly. Because we were also ordering pupus, we got seated on the side. We ordered the hamakua mushroom pizza. The crust and cheese were really good, but they could have been a little more generous with the mushrooms. The ambiance of the place is pretty nice. It's very open and casual. I probably wouldn't come here if I wasn't staying at the hotel, but it was good for what it is.

    Located on property of Marriott Waikoloa beach club overlooking the swimming pools. We arrived just in time for a beautiful sunset. We ordered cocktails and Kalua Pork Quesadillas appetizer. We were served a cheese quesadilla.. We notified our server and he changed our bill to reflect a cheese quesadilla.

    Great vibes , amazing hospitality though n good quality food. Looking for a grub spot right after our sunset boat ride we ended up at Hawaii calls. For parking all you got to do is get to the self parking area , press the grey button ( call for help) and let the security person on the other side of the phone know that you are in for dining at the restaurant as it's located in the Marriot property. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that the menu in restaurants here changed very often and pictures in Yelp from say 2022 or 2023 might not even be relevant as far goes the menu. Got to our table with a nice clam breeze blowing across. Remy was our host for the evening and an absolute sweetheart as she kept up with our requests. Big shoutout to Remy for her efforts!! We ordered Roasted Brussels, The Ali'i mushroom along with Kanpachi ( subbed out the starch for veggies for one of the orders while the other came out as is OOTB). The initial batch of mushrooms that we received was overly oily and when we reported that to Remy she got a new batch done for us. Still didn't taste as good. The Brussels sprouts were ok and looked overly fried and thus dinged a star overall. The kanpachi was decent and the veggies along with it tasted good. The mashed potatoes were not prepared in the way we expected them to be and left a bad taste in our mouth. It could have been an off night for the kitchen but what we paid in for our bill was way too high compared to the quality of the food that was subpar at best.

    Received vouchers for continental breakfast for 2 as elite benefits. Includes basically everything except for the omelet station and the hot foods. So, yogurt, oatmeal, toast, pastries, pancake, fruits, etc. The hot food items were usually sausage, ham, eggs benedict, scrambled eggs, bacon, potato wedges, etc. I think regular prices for continential was around $24? To upgrade to full breakfast, is an additional $12. And for kids, it's $18/$26. Free for kids under 5. Had Miriam serve us for the first few mornings and she was an absolute delight. Extremely friendly and welcoming, couldn't have asked for better service from her. You'll usually get seated promptly, and be served coffee, or juice (pineapple, guava, POG, cranberries) and off you go to the buffet section. There are also plenty of birds hanging around, waiting to dig into your food when you leave, so make sure to cover your food if you don't want to come back to an empty plate.

    This is more than 90$.  I liked the nachos the best.  Salad is way over priced because adding that much chicken cost me almost 10$.
    Kyong L.

    Food is ok but way over priced. But this is a restaurant in Marriott and can be ordered for poolside so I had almost no choice. Ambient is 5 star. Food is 3 star.

    First I've ever eating lunch here. Outside dining ocean view. I had the catch of the day I ordered a blacken Mahi Mahi the fries were so crunchy too! Kaimana was a good server wrote our order down perfect!

    First plate of nachos - note the brown guacamole. Meat was ice cold and barely any cheese in sight.
    Paige D.

    Terrible. Came for a late lunch during happy hour 3-5pm where they advertise that all lunch items are 15% off. The nachos came with old, brown guacamole and were topped with ice cold shredded meat, and barely any cheese to speak of. We asked the kitchen to remake the dish. The replacement we received had fresher guacamole and warmer meat, but the cheese was cold and completely unmelted. Some nachos. Finally, when we received the check, we noticed the server had not applied the 15% happy hour discount that is prominently advertised on the menu. When we brought this to his attention, he apologized and brought us a new check with the discounted price reflected, but I really don't think it should be up to the customer to remind the restaurant to honor their own promotions.

    Veggie Burger
    Eric Z.

    This place is definitely worth checking out if you are staying at the Marriott Waikoloa. The veggie burger and poke bowl were both excellent items. The burger was delicious especially for something with fake meat (not something I usually go for). The star of the show was the poke bowl. They replaced the shiitake mushrooms with locally sourced mushrooms that were absolutely delicious. The tofu was also deliciously seasoned. The ingredients of the bowl were sparse but it packed a lot of flavor.

    Tracy L.

    The food was delicious and the service was great. The ambiance was truly amazing! I had an amazing time.

I'm glad I did! I made our OpenTable reservation for 5:30, knowing sunset was projected to be around 6:30ish. Right off the bat, this felt like the ideal place for our last dinner on the Big Island. Oceanfront dining, a beautiful sunset, and live entertainment featuring a slack-key guitarist and ʻolapa? Yes, please! We started with the ceviche, fritto misto, and Parmesan garlic bread. The ceviche was delicious! If you're sharing like we did, be prepared to break up the tostada with your fork to make it more like chips. The fritto misto was also a hit. Well seasoned, not overly breaded, and a nice ratio of calamari, shrimp, and artichokes. The Parmesan garlic bread, however, was mid. Nothing particularly memorable. For our mains, another friend and I ordered the sizzling shrimp. We weren't terribly hungry to begin with, and the appetizers had already done a pretty good job of filling us up. The rest of our party ordered a burger with sweet potato fries and Huggo's teriyaki steak. The burger was good, but not WOW, and the sweet potato fries seemed a bit stale. The teriyaki steak, on the other hand, was a winner. Our friend did a whole lot of yumming while eating, so I think that speaks for itself. Sadly, the sizzling shrimp didn't quite deliver. Some of the shrimp had sizzled a little too long, leaving them overly curled and not as tender as I would've liked. Some of that buttery goodness had also burned, discoloring a few of the shrimp. Not exactly what I was hoping for when I ordered a dish where the shrimp and butter are supposed to be the stars. Would I come back? Maybe. I absolutely loved the ambiance and entertainment, and I'm glad we chose this spot for our final Big Island dinner. Watching the sunset with good company and live Hawaiian music was a beautiful way to end our trip. Would I return strictly for the food? Likely not. There are too many local grindz I'd rather explore. But if I were traveling with friends who weren't feeling quite as adventurous with their food choices, Lava Lava would certainly be worth considering for the setting alone.

This was our last dinner and I was stuffed to my eyeballs with good food, because Hawaii. So I tried to go light, just ("just" lol) soup and poke nachos. Son and husband split a steak because no one was that hungry (hot out, and so much good food already). First the soup was GREAT. Super chunky with good seafood. Poke nachos were correctly put together (IMO) with wonton chips (not tortilla chips!!) and great seasoning and toppings. Steak was great. Garlic bread was great. I was excited about the location, now I'm into the food too. Only had non-alcoholic drinks, but those were also very good! 5 stars, no notes.

Anything with vegetables had sooooo much more vegetables to protein, and for example my mother in laws shrimp with broccoli was super sad. In the whole ala carte item of $19-$21 were a Manini 8 small shrimps swimming in sauce and broccoli. Same went for the chicken and mixed vegetables! The dried chicken with chilis had 8-9 pieces of chicken for the whole order ala carte. The only thing worth the price was the general tsao chicken, which tasted just like the orange chicken with a little tiny zing we got the day before. We gave this place two tries only for lack of options in the Waikoloa Village area. If this were on Oahu, nobody would come here. The food all taste the same and the protein is almost non existent in pricey ala carte items.
