The Absolute Best Meal on the Island--A Masterclass in Food & Service!…read moreIf I could give Seafood Bar & Grill 10 stars, I would. This wasn't just a dinner; it was our absolute favorite meal of the entire trip. We didn't even have a special occasion to celebrate--we just had a phenomenal experience here in the past and couldn't wait to return. They somehow managed to exceed every expectation. From the second we walked in, we were blown away. We loved the Tiki Bar, everyone is family when you walk in, history covering the walls ambiafamily-friendly; ev Seafood We were greeted by Dave Yurtin, the owner, who set up a fabulous table for us inside. But here is the kicker: Dave actually remembered us from our first visit two years ago! Talk about a total legend. We couldn't believe his memory--that is next-level hospitality. Our server, Ryan, provided spectacular, world-class service. He didn't write a single part of our big order down and got absolutely everything 100% right. He was attentive, fast, and incredibly sharp--he even remembered at the end that my mother-in-law had asked for onion rings once she was finished, before changing her mind. Incredible! Now, let's talk about the food and drinks because WOW. We started with the drinks, and these were hands-down the absolute best Mai Tais we have had on the island. Every single dish that hit the table was a home run: - Escargot: Wow, wow, wow, wow! Absolutely phenomenal. The pesto and cheese with the garlic bread? Unreal. - Seafood Quesadilla & Coconut Shrimp: Perfectly executed and delicious. - Braised Short Ribs: Out of this world. Fall-off-the-bone tender. - Pineapple Macnut Slaw: Insane flavor. Do not skip this! - Garlic Bread: Spectacular and perfect for soaking up every last bit of flavor. - Fish Linguine: A rich, perfectly balanced cream sauce packed with different types of fresh fish. Somehow, we saved room for dessert and tried FOUR different ones: the Key Lime Pie was unbelievable, the Lilikoi Pie and Kona Coffee Pie were spectacular, and the NY Cheesecake with Lilikoi Sauce was the perfect grand finale. Between Dave's legendary memory, Ryan's flawless service, and a kitchen that doesn't miss, Seafood Bar & Grill is an absolute must-visit. We will be talking about this meal until our next visit! Thank you for an unforgettable night!

I got the ginger steamed clams and they were amazing. We also ordered an extra serving of Parmesan bread because it was so tasty. My dad got the prime rib, which is only available on Tuesdays, and it was great as always. Our server Matt recommended my mom try the black bean seafood combo, and she was pleasantly surprised by how much she loved her meal! My husband got the cajun style fresh catch and loved his meal! We highly recommend this restaurant and love supporting Dave and his team. It's always a great experience!

The karaoke DJ…read morefavored the locals, the tourists barely got to sing, I felt like this was a locals only bar, tourists are welcome to buy drinks, but don't expect to sing at this karaoke bar. It's too bad too, because the vibe was good, and it was 40% tourist. Not like it was 100% locals juicing the vibe. I felt like the 40% tourists were more electric than the locals, but the locals got to sing 90% of the songs. Bottom line, if it wasn't for a good bartender would give a lower rating. The guy running the karaoke at this karaoke bar favors the regulars, which I understand, but it also means tourists feel unappreciated and left out. If you want to sing, stay out. If you want to hear locals sing this is your place. For example, one local lady sang 5 times in 2 hours, I put in 2 requests and got to sing 1. So if you want to hear other people sing and get treated like an unwanted tourist, this is the place for you.

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.

I'm writing this review from Piko Coffee + Bar…read more.. It's a beautiful place to hang for a coffee, snack, or cocktail when staying at the Westin Hapuna! It also happened to be where we hung out and ate pizza and had drinks during the latest tsunami warning! Luckily, we were safe there and there wasn't any damage. Piko offers a different menu based on time of day, plenty of grab and go options all day long and there is also a filtered water station available. Service is fast casual and friendly. We've only been at this hotel for 48 hours and I've been here on three occasions so far and have a feeling I'll be here plenty more during our stay.

The views are just amazing. Day and night. Sparkling wine is better priced at $9 or $11? while an aperol spritz was $19. Stick with the basics and the bill won't be that bad. Or get a fancier cocktail that's more worth the buck. They have music every night and that was the cherry on top. Relaxing island vibes. Pianist to Guitarist to mesmerizing singing. The staff was very nice so how could you go wrong? I would come here even if I weren't staying.

We got there and it was clear it was busy - she glared at us and told us it was at least an hour wait - no big deal we planned to enjoy the pool - but she was clearly horrified when we agreed to that and appeared to not want to deal with customers by rolling her eyes as she added us to the list - and it was no where near and hour - we were sat within 20 minutes !! That aside, we had a stunning ocean view table and a great time! Jerry was the bar tender tonight and as always he is the absolute BEST!! Always great to see him and he makes the best sangria and tropical itch!! We began with the coconut shrimp which was delicious then I had the catch of the day which was Ono which was delicious!
