“Incredible meal at Moon & Turtle. We started with two small plates- smoked sashimi and ahi belly. Then shared the half size of mushroom risotto with the market fish (marlin in an amazing miso coconut brown butter sauce). We couldn't pick just one dessert so we shared the miso cheesecake and macadamia pot de creme. Lychee gin cocktail was also delicious. I will say the risotto and sashimi as staples are both worth the hype and the marlin with the complex sauce was my personal favorite but we loved every single dish. Everything was so fresh with unique flavor combinations. There are so many other items on the menu we want to come back and try. The service is also impeccable. Carson was perfectly attentive and so helpful. She even gave us some recommendations for things to see in the area. Highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait for a second meal here!“
“Free pupus with karaoke! Say less! Before coming here, I didn't realize pupus were free in most bars in Hilo and Peggy's is no exception. They've probably been around longer than I've been alive because there are regulars who have frequented Peggy's for years. Everyone knows everyone here and they treat everyone like family. Pupus are free, yes, but that doesn't mean they're not good. They served poke, Mac salad, vegetables, noodles, etc and they were Ono!! You still have to pay for their other pupus (like fries, chicken tenders) but the pupus are great and you can ask for more as long as you're drinking. Their drinks are good too. Affordable and not super pricey. This place is not fancy at all and has a more homey feel to it. Highly recommend if you need a night out with friends that's very low key but fun! Karaoke is a dollar per song and you give to the waitress to input your selections. It is a shared/community karaoke so no private rooms here.“
“Amazing bar that is so welcoming to tourists! They loved us! They helped us embrace the full island life and vibes. There is an amazing pool table that has plenty of room for all your friends. Need somewhere to stand? The bar has lots of places easily marked, encouraging engagement around the bar. A must do when traveling from out of town! Come one, come all.“
“A fun little spot for great food, incredibly friendly staff, and live music. Think Margaritaville, but local hawaiian style. Really tasty food offerings (look for daily specials on the chalk board). Super tasty cocktails, including their signature that's served in a hollowed out Hawaiian Gold pineapple. This is a nice open-air spot located right across from Hilo bay. Very popular with tourists.Parking: Plenty of street parking available to walk fromKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“
