DoubleDeuceJanuary 24, 2019This is one of the more ideal places within the Kona walkable area to stare out at the sea and grab some grub or a drink...or just use the bathrooms and step outside for the amazing view.
Natalie MJune 3, 2016Great food and service. Sue is the OG of the inn and mai tais. She'll tell you. The mai tais are great but strong!!
The Caesar's Salad, topped with the fresh catch of the day - cooked Cajun style - is AWESOME and a full meal in itself.
Ishani SanyalJanuary 8, 2019Good deli sandwiches, burgers, and things you typically find in American grills. Great seaside views but a bit pricy overall.
Brodie OlmsteadDecember 10, 2016Food is pretty terrible, but the you can't beat the view. Just grab a drink and enjoy the sunset.
Michael PeerlessApril 23, 2013Best Mai Tais anywhere. Enjoy the wood interior and belt-driven fan system. Old school Hawaii at its best.- The mai tais are tasty and strong. Be in the bar before sunset and watch them slide the overhead drape away for a FANTASTIC view of the sky and sunset!
Richard WrightDecember 6, 2012Get reservation for sunset. Try the stuffed Ono and drown yourself in the strongest Mai tai in town.
- Most of the food comes with a side of chips.. Splurge and order the basket of steak fries! Yummmmay!
Helen ZhangApril 7, 2018Come for the ambiance and sunset, not the food, but the food is surprisingly ok
Mike KassAugust 16, 2014Views are great. Service is adequate. Stick with simple food - fried is probably best. It's really about the views here...not the food.- The Mai Tais here are awesome and definitely have a kick-yummy!
Key West meets Hawaiian atmosphere. Best Lava Flow (cocktail).
Michael ChailleDecember 25, 2010Mai tai is great! Calamari is steak not the bits. But good for bar food. Face the water and pray for the green flash.
michael nerenburgOctober 16, 2012Calamari sandwich was good. Not sure what people on here are complaining about.- the specialty drinks are the best cocktails we've had in Kona so far
Jeff KanarishFebruary 25, 2017Note most of the positive comments are about cocktails. Food is bland and $$$. You're paying for ocean view, not good food.
Alex SkeenMay 27, 2012When she asks if I want potato chips, she means fries. Not use to people to saying it that way.
Baelson DuqueApril 9, 2015All the sea food except the catch of the day way previously frozen. Really bad.
