Great service! We stopped by the restaurant for a late-night snack. The cocktail was great, and our order came out really quickly.

Validated parking, didn't have to wait long to be seated, Phoenix was our waitress.
Our food and appetizer all came out at the same time, which was perfect for us since we had just flown in and were starving! The coconut water was nice and chilled, and the food was amazing! The blackened fish, shrimp, and crabby patty were seasoned so well. The fries were crisp and soft, and the boomie poke was flavorful and all the textures go deliciously together.
Olivia was so kind when she came to bust our table. The view was also nice even at night, I can't wait to see it during the day.
We could not have had a better first dining experience in Kona, thank you to the chefs who prepared our food, the hostest who sat us, and Olivia for being so welcoming and kind. We will be back for breakfast sometime this week.

My husband and I went for dinner last night. The Cobb salad was perfection. The blue cheese dressing with the blue cheese crumbles worked well with all of the other ingredients. I would highly recommend this. Sophia, our waitress, was so helpful, knowledgeable, and kind.

Today we went back for breakfast after seeing the menu last night. We order the roundhouse with country fried steak, country gravy, choice of sourdough toast, 2 eggs choice of sunny side up, breakfast potatoes, and they decorated it with a slice of strawberry/orange/pineapple. Everything was fantastic. The eggs were of high quality and cooked well. The country fried steak was super crispy. The best ever. Our waitress, Taylor, was detail oriented, friendly, and had great listening skills.

Thank you Sophia and Taylor! And shout out to everyone that had a part in making such delicious food.

Went back this morning for breakfast. We ordered the eggs benedict with crab cake. Our side we chose the fruit salad. Everything was delicious as always. Nanami was our waitress and she did such a great job. On top of having a wonderful personality. Again we had a great experience at this restaurant. Thanks again Nanami!

We had theee best time here. Our server was Brian (BJ) and he is just the kindest person, so so helpful and friendly. The food was extraordinary! We had the fisherman’s stew, barreled mahi mahi, offshore ahi and finished off with some key lime pie & death by chocolate cake. Definitely has to be the best meal I’ve had so far. Cannot recommend enough. The location is great and the vibes are immaculate!

wonderful little restaurant with amazing ocean views. wonderful gluten free (sensitive) pancakes. Large portions and very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back there for breakfast.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free.

They have several gluten sensitive dishes on the breakfast menu and can even make their eggs benedict gluten sensitive with the substitution of a gluten free hamburger bun instead of the english muffin.

The view was amazing. Good service. The fish tacos were bad. Mushy tortillas not even grilled, fell apart. Tuna was overcooked when they specifically asked if I wanted it rare. Onion rings were burnt but they brought new. But, then again, I wasn’t really there for the food. The ocean was wonderful.

Above the pier, watch the boats and swimmers. Eat delicious biscuits and gravy, fried rice and Mahi Mahi. Drink reasonably priced Kona coffee. Drink something large out of a pineapple. Let the kind and happy staff help you have a great meal.
