My daughter got the coconut shrimp and my son got a burger. My wife ordered the fish of the day (swordfish) and I got the macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi. Both fish dishes were tasty and not over cooked. I would recommend the Mahi Mahi because it's a great tasting fish and not always available. I would recommend this place even though it's pricey but the service was outstanding and the fish was properly prepared.

I always like giving my honest review…read more Everything was great about this restaurant. Reservations were easy to get for a family of three the night before on a Friday night at 6:30 PM. The hostess was very friendly and we got seated right away as soon as we checked in. We got a fabulous table with a view of the water, which was beautiful. The restaurant is very clean and a very simple ambience. Our waitress was very friendly. What I love the most about this restaurant is they have a lot of gluten friendly options, including a gluten friendly fish and chips, which is very hard to find anywhere else! I didn't feel like eating fish and chips, but I ordered that grilled chicken candy bacon sandwich with a gluten-free bun and it was amazing! My husband got the steak burger and he said it was so good! The fries were really good as well. So what was interesting about this restaurant is that we did not have silverware at our table, we did not get our water filled or drinks refilled, and when we were done with our meal, our waitress just brought the check without asking if we want dessert or not? Which we were planning on it for sure, I mean we are on vacation! So that's why I took away a star for those things. Our waitress seem very busy, but the restaurant didn't seem overwhelming and busy so I don't know what the issue was. They also had to go and wash some spoons for our dessert. I just thought that was odd. But the dessert was amazing. That cheesecake was really good and the chocolate lava cake was delicious!

We ordered the Sweet Bread French Toast with strawberry compote and the Mauka & Makai Benedict. The…read moreFrench toast was enjoyable, though fairly typical, while the Benedict was the standout dish, especially the grilled filet medallion lobster, which added a unique touch and great flavor. Beyond the food, the view created a pleasant ambiance and made for an enjoyable dining setting. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by a cleanliness issue when our coffee was served. Both cups had visible lipstick marks on the rims. Although the staff promptly replaced them, it was an unpleasant first impression and raised concerns about attention to detail in dishwashing and quality control. Clean tableware is a basic expectation, so this was disappointing to encounter. Overall, we appreciated the food, the beautiful setting, and the staff's response, but the cleanliness issue significantly detracted from the experience.

I haven't done a review in a while but I felt like one was due for this restaurant…read more I just want to say we have been to a lot of restaurants on the big island and some multiple times including the newly opened marlin bar. Consistency was key here and everything was on point. Service was excellent, food came out quick and hot, fresh and delicious. The prices were reasonable especially for the quality of food. We went to napua for the 2nd time and it was not as good. They raised their prices again so 62 for a plate of fish (mahi mahi with rice and green beans) and it was dry and lacking in flavor. Just for 3 of us it came to almost 200.00 you just pay for the ambience at that restaurant. We went to lava lava beach club and the prices went up and the food was terrible. Again your paying for the ambience their but there the pork was fatty, fish sandwich tasted like canned tuna and the pork sandwich idk it tasted like the smell of throw up. Ceviche was horrible and paid 30 dollars for a tiny tostada with some shrimp and fish that was super super fishy. This was the best place so far besides pono Hawaiian deli (poke spot best poke ever!!) or getting your own fish at the farmers market in Waimea I wanted to add this to highlight this particular restaurant. We ate here 4 times (3 dining and once to go) and all the times it was so good. We got the island waygu burger it was cooked perfect and seasoned well, we ordered the coconut shrimp this was delicious, we ordered fish and chips (lightly breaded not overly oily or fried it was light airy and crispy), we ordered the corn dip and this was surprisingly refreshing with their homemade chips, order the hot chicken sandwich and wow this was lightly panko breaded and it was not overly hot and spicy everything paired well with it, also got the regular waygu burger and it was again cooked perfect and exploded with flavor. Finally tonight came back on our last night and I ordered the kona kampachi, wow wow wow it was cooked to perfection (finally a restaurant that can cook fish correctly and not over cook it) the miso butter worked perfectly and the portion was huge!! And only for 36 dollars like com on. My wife got the mahi mahi fish tacos and that was delicious with the lime cream sauce. All the nights we went there never broke 100 dollars and that says something in Hawaii and it literally beats every other restaurant so far for the price, ambience and quality of food. Consistency was key please if you're reading this owner or chef of this restaurant please stay this consistent!! Thank you!!

We were sick all night and almost missed the wedding the next day. I called the next morning to give them all the details, where we sat, what we ordered, the date and time. Instead of caring, they just forwarded us to their insurance, like we were trying to sue them. We just wanted to give them a heads up so they wouldn't get anyone else sick. Management handled this horribly. Avoid at all costs, could ruin your vacation.

This is an open air restaurant and at first I was hesitant because of maybe having to deal with flies but we didn't run into any issues. There was live music playing. We ordered the farmer's plate of veggies to accompany the muhammara dip (which came with 4 pieces of wood fired bread). It was flavorful, fresh, and light. My husband ordered the skirt steak and I ordered the ahi steak. We also ordered the frozen fruit punch twice. This was plenty of food for us so we skipped on dessert. Everything turned out delicious to us and we quite enjoyed our evening.

It's only a few minutes walk from the Hilton Grand vacations club. The servers were super friendly and helpful. We ordered their burger and some wings. The food was pretty good. And the cost was very reasonable for Hawaii. Overall, it has a sports bar beach vibe with several TVs playing the current game. I'd recommend you should try it, if you're staying nearby.
