“good food and friendly people“

“This is by far our favorite breakfast place on the entire island. The view is amazing. The staff is fantastic. The food and coffee are the best that you can find! Each time we come back we buy extra beans just to take home a taste of menehune❤️“

“I had the Bacon and Shrimp sandwich with garlic and pepperoni fries. Out of this world!“

“waitress was fabulous. Food was good. If you go, take a jacket if you plan to sit outside.“

“Our second visit this vacation and by far our favorite foods and drinks of all the island. Great staff to top off the experience.“

“We ate here after 12 hours of traveling and could not have been happier. The service was so friendly and outdoor seating with tiki torches and a view of the water was great. My son isn’t always the most adventurous eater but he asked to try the clams from my seafood stew and pronounced that he “loves clams more than pizza”. It was his first time trying it. He had the kid’s grilled cheese with fries, and myself and my friend had the Crabby Patties crab cakes, cocktails, fish n chips and seafood stew. Everuthing came out quickly, hot and fresh. It was just what we needed after airport food all day.“

“I ate there twice in March, and twice in April, not brisk service, Hawaiian leisure!, but incredible food! The coconut shrimp, with either sauce (although I loved the sweet chili), both panko and beer battered fish and chips were delicious, and I never expected to find THE tastiest BLT sandwich I have ever eaten!“

“Excellent food, friendly staff, excellent experience!“

“We had a beautiful beach front table which was wonderful. Our waitress, Rio, made our experience even more special with her menu suggestions. The food was delicious, we both had fish entrees with risotto. The only complaint which is very small was that our bar beverages came out late. Other than that, it was a fabulous meal!“

“I was in Hawaii for a few days and I ate at Jackie Rey’s for one of those evenings. The food, atmosphere and staff were spectacular. Not the mention, the food layout was incredible. I highly recommend. Mahalo.“

“We stayed near this cafe for 3 nights and we ate breakfast here all 3 days in a row. Delicious food, friendly staff and nice view from their balcony eating area. We got smoothies, eggers and the lox bagel and I'm sure the lunch menu is just as tasty. Thanks Caffe Florian!“

“Absolutely love this place wonderful Aloha vibes! Live music is also great. 😊“

“Great restaurant. Food, service and atmosphere... a trifecta!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday breakfast by the water listening to a musician play great island music. Our waitress, Tammy, was excellent. She was quick, knowledgeable, and the food was amazing!“

“Locally owned and operated family restaurant. Fair prices, healthy portions, properly cooked food, good service, and clean environment. I would definitely recommend to anyone. I had the Loco Moco plate and my family had the breakfast plates plus a cheeseburger. Bacon was delicious. Eggs cooked perfectly over medium. Burgers cooked through and not burnt. I wanted to add a little salt and hot sauce to my plate but it was good without as well.“

“We just enjoyed a beautiful sunset while we sipped a Maitai. Followed by a delicious Caprese appetzer and the entrees which included Egg plant parmigiana and Aloha Chicken and Build your own pasta. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and extremely professional. all in all we had an excellent experience hope you try it.“

“We had a quick lunch. Service was pretty quick and the view of the bay was nice.“

“Hands down the best fish and chips. They were steaks of fish, lightly beer battered and stuffed with fish steak.
We live in SoCal with English taverns that swear they’ve got the best fish and chips. They’re wrong, Sunset Terrace has the best.

The guitar solo was outstanding, soothing and easy to listen while conversation with those around us.

Friendly pool for the kids to play in while we watched the sunset of sunsets.

So glad we spent our last night relaxing after a week jammed full of mantas, beaches, star gazing and volcanoes.

Don’t let your to do list ruin your sanity of enjoying the moment with your family.

Put the camera down and enjoy your family. The next blink might be the last.“

“Huge shout out to bartender Ryan. Great service, super friendly. If I am back on the island I will definitely come back for the great food/drinks (Ryan makes a great mai tai) and great service. The place is great for a chill, relaxed evening.“

“Our family of 11 dined here on July 28th. We chose this restaurant as it was close to where we would be doing the Manta Ray Swim and where others that were golfing at Kona Country Club were close as well. The food was delicious. I think we had a little of everything at our table. Sweet chili wings, fries, Chicken Teriyaki, Seafood Pasta, Fish Tacos, are just a few of the items our crew enjoyed! Oh, and the Chocolate cake was amazing! Our sever, Cherlynn (I hoped I spelled it right) was absolutely outstanding! While we were at dinner our swim was canceled. We were a little bummed but her attitude, personality, and spirit was just what we needed! She truly has the kindest soul and a great resprentation of Aloha. Thank you for a wonderful experience. The Forbes Family Greenville, NC“

“The bartender Darcy was awesome“

“We came in for a large table and they quickly put an 8 top together for us! Lacy went above and beyond for us girls and made us feel at home. She was quick, responsive and soo friendly and fun! Atmosphere is great! Thanks a ton for helping us girls have a fun night!“

“Came for the happy hour and it didn't disappoint!! I had the $12 shrimp bucket and a cup of clam chowder. The clam chowder is possibly the best I've ever had. I'm always on the hunt for a clam chowder without bacon and I finally found it on island. The shrimp were deveined and very easy to peel. House made cocktail sauce with horseradish. Oceanfront views!! I will definitely be back 🤙💖 mahalo“

“Staff was excellent and friendly. Fast service and on top of everything when it came to our food and drinks. Decor is cool and the food was excellent, plus the night we were there, there was live music which made us stay longer and get more drinks. Also a great spot for the sunset too!“
