RavenSeptember 3, 2018The oysters are amazing. Very flavourful and buttery. Come at market price and totally worth it.
Go for breakfast in the morning. They have a $5.95 menu and the food is great. And make sure you get Dana as your server. She is fantastic and she will make you laugh the whole time.
Marie La RueJuly 6, 2023Kitschy and fun seafood and steakhouse with unbeatable views. Attentive and friendly service is a standout. Food is ok for a tourist-focused establishment. Higher prices but large portions.
Kirk ShorteJuly 6, 2013I was happy to get a seat after the parade on the 4th of July. I didn't get a view seat and I had to listen to 2 young ladies talk the entire time I was there but my meal was outstanding.
Liz MunnellyFebruary 10, 2021Kalua Pork omelette was incredible! The Coconut macadamia nut french toast was incredibly decadent and out of this world!
Renfrew PacificoApril 16, 2013Clam chowder was excellent. We had the Fish Hopper combo which had calamari, shrimp, and Ono. Also the broiled chicken. Meal and service were excellent
Tere CruzJuly 19, 2018I ordered the tuna and prawn salad and it was AMAZING! If you like something sweet and spicy it is a must 😍
Order the Macadamia nut crusted Mahi-Mahi with rice. This and the Parmesan crusted Monchong with garlic mashed potato are the top 2 main items on the menu.
Henrika MNovember 29, 2013Casual restaurant, very friendly staff. They have excellent poke ahi (try half blackened, half sesamed, it tastes delicious)
John PestkaJanuary 31, 2014Mark and Chad could be the two nicest bartenders on the island. And they've actually got high end rums like Zaya and Pyrat! A rare find here.
Suzi StrongOctober 31, 2012Good happy hour menu. Awesome calamari and chowder. Friendly staff. Kona cobb salad is awesome. I really haven't had anything I didn't like here.
Curtis HillerJanuary 28, 2017Aioli on the ono sandwich was a winner. Macadamia-crusted Mahi Mahi was very good. Service was acceptable, but the prices are tourist-high.
eric bornemannApril 24, 2023Surprisingly good take out. The local mongchong and ono were really good. On DoorDash.
Stephen CMay 22, 2016Had the "award winning" Clam Chowder served in a bread bowl. Enjoyed very nice salad as well
Frank LegacyApril 24, 2013Ahi tuna salad is unreal and great value....fish trio was a great sampler as well. btw...Great View!
'DellaLee GutierrezDecember 5, 2014Sourdough Clam Chowder Bowl _ ❁ winners, the made but they made it flowth over
Matthew WashFebruary 25, 2014The view is fantastic but skip the paella and don't order any large beers, they are the exact same size as a regular in a big fancy goblet.
Rachel AdamsJanuary 26, 2017Good food great service but expensive dessert not sure if it worth the price
Melinda McCulloughNovember 13, 2016Great views but I thought it was costly and the food quality wasn't in line with the pricing! The Calamari I had was greasy and really not that great.
Claire Bajo-HawaiiDecember 18, 2011the free house appetizer at happy hour is calamari .. I heard it changes for dinner.. chef's choice..

Evan[Bu]January 23, 2012Get some fish tacos and one of those girly drinks that you're ashamed to order!
John DunlapNovember 5, 2012Prawn Pasta... standard faire, nothing spectacular ... but good & tasty...
