    Grilled fish bowl.
    Tina S.

    The name says it all! What a spectacular view you will find. I love the grilled fish bowl, with edamame and cucumber and seaweed salad, and a scoop of rice to wrap up this fresh and delicious bowl of food. The poke nachos is a great plate to share with a generous portion of poke. Casual atmosphere and good service. Add this one to your list when in Keauhou.

    The view!

    Great service, good price on food and the view! This place is perfect for larger group. 6 of us were seated comfortably and able to enjoy our lunch. I love the fish tacos. Really good flavor and good salsa too. 20% for large party added to the bill. They take reservation too.

    Went one night and left because after 20+ minutes didn't get service. We decided to go back. Think they just didn't have enough help and we all deserve a little grace, right? Beer was cold and food was great. Service was also good. Great view and easy location for us.

    Amazing views from our love hut. I would definitely reserve the rooms at Outrigger during the week.

    Mushroom bacon Swiss burger

    The view isn't the only great thing about this place the burger is hand patted and cooked to perfection. This is the best burger in the Kona area located at the Kona country club. Ice cold beers super friendly service all around great place. I definitely recommend coming here. They didn't name it the view for nothing.

    The view from the patio, it was a great view and had a nice breeze.

    We ordered coconut shrimp, and the ceviche which both were good. I ordered the loaded hot dog, very filling, fries were great, nachos were ok. The service was great. The ambiance was nice, overlooked the golf course and great view of the ocean.

    Great view of Keauhou Bay.  Yes they open!  (another review was apparently at the wrong place!)

    Likely the best view (hence the name) in Keauhou. Very relaxed atmosphere and huge covered patio restaurant. Plenty of shade. Good music in the background not blaring. Would be romantic hang out but not private. Great drinks. Happy Hour 2-4pm. Largest, best Poke Nachos I've ever had. Even the house salad was Big. Very friendly and attentive. So... I'll be back!! Seems like the attitude is better here than some other local places. Feel more welcome here. Good job.

    Loaded Fries with Kalua Pork
    Gerry L.

    A co-worker and I were in Kona for a golf tournament later in the week ... We went four days early to get in much needed practice. We started with a round at Kona CC and then had a late lunch at The View afterward. It's an open-air venue on the 2nd floor of the clubhouse overlooking the putting green and views toward the ocean. We started with a Crown on the rocks ($10) and a Hendricks gin & tonic ($12) for me. We ordered the Ahi Poke Nachos ($20) and the Loaded Fries with a topping of kalua pork ($12). The ahi poke nachos were one of the best we've tried ... spicy aioli atop ahi poke on a bed of crisp nacho chips. The chips were freshly cooked, or at least it seemed that way to me. The loaded fries were less successful ... We like our fries extra crispy and when one gets loaded fries, the topping makes the fries soggy. It's not the fault of the kitchen; it's a characteristic of loaded fries. Perhaps loaded nachos would have been a better choice. In any event, we enjoyed our time at The View though I would have preferred air conditioning as it was a hot and muggy day. Service was attentive and personable. Four stars and recommended.

To summarize the experience the food tasted as delicious as it looked. Service was spot on. Skip the barbecue chicken tacos they were overrated. Our server warned against it but we were feeling chicken. It was a mid dish. The star of the show was the Calabrese Flatbread. It was phenomenal. Really tasty, ample cheese, marinara sauce, with large chunks of sausage that were so flavorful. The potatoes we got were supposed to be island potatoes and tasted okay with lots of Chimmichuri Sauce. Ask for more on the side to dip the potatoes in. Kona beer on tap, Michelob in bottles, and some nice house drinks to round it off. Their dessert selection looked tasty, but so full that stomach was hurting after the meal. Will be back again if I'm in the area!

We had a reservation for 12:00, but still had to wait. From the beginning, we felt there was a noticeable difference in how customers who booked a tour were treated compared with customers who were there just for brunch. The tour guests seemed to receive more attention and hospitality, while our experience felt like we were overlooked. When we arrived, the waitress immediately told us there was no high chair available for our toddler. We were then seated in an area with a frame that appeared to be coming loose and potentially falling. I found this concerning and unsafe, especially with a toddler sitting there, with or without a high chair. The waitress was also not very attentive. We specifically asked for the chocolate to be served on the side, but instead it was poured directly onto the chicken. My spouse and I ended up having to switch meals just so we could comfortably eat lunch with our toddler. We also asked if we could move because of the safety concern, but the overall response made us feel as though our requests were an inconvenience. What disappointed me most was the feeling that we felt we are not local residents in HI, and regardless of whether someone is visiting for a tour or simply coming in for brunch, every customer should feel equally welcomed and valued. The food itself was not the main issue. The issue was the customer service and the feeling that we were treated differently. This is a beautiful place, and I hope management takes this feedback seriously and provides additional hospitality training to ensure all guests--whether tour guests or brunch customers--receive the same welcoming experience and attention.
