Stopped by for the complimentary Mai Tais and decided to stick around for dinner. Bartender was incredibly proactive and anticipated our requests. Decided on trying the smash burgers on the menu and they were solid. Worth at least one meal if you’re staying nearby.

The Street Tacos and Cuban Sandwich and fries were cold when served. Two meals were served 10 minutes before the third, (only after we inquired about the missing meal) making the food even colder and less appealing. The chips and salsa were inedible - jarred salsa and stale chips. Our server was excellent and when we told her how disappointing the meal was, she sent the manager out to talk with us. The manager comped us $50 of our $101 bill, which was gracious. Even so, our lunch excursion was far from delicious.

The only reason for the 5 star for service is for Annie and Christie!!

It is a great place to eat and drink,nice views of the bay and mountains around. Prices are not for everyone's pocket but definitely worth the money. Waitresses are very keen and professional, I've been attended by Leah which has been OUTSTANDING ??MAHALO. I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK

Grill was part of the Marriott Courtyard, poolside. Seems like the only gluten free item was a hamburger with a gluten free bun. We were hungry after snorkeling, so it was convenient and worked for us.

This is the pool bar at the Courtyard King Hamehameha resort. First of all, Mike is an awesome bartender -- fun guy and knows his drinks. The happy hour specials are very affordable. I had the poke nachos (only $10!) and they were fantastic. I had a voucher for two complimentary Mai Tai cocktails, which were very good. Fun place and I probably would have been happy having dinner there.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp behind the pool deck and the bar is low enough that a wheelchair could roll up.

Great little restaurant! Loved the fish and chips! The poke nachos are also 10/10 and the wait staff is super friendly! The restaurant is poolside for the hotel and the view looks over the bay.

Ok so josh was our server. He made our time here memorable. Thank you josh for everything. This business is lucky to have him. Treat him right, we will be back and hope he’s here when we come back. As a business owner of one of the largest cattle ranches on the main land we appreciate a great guy like josh to help us out! Tony and Nichole

I walked in and sat down at the bar Had to wait 20 minutes before someone acknowledged me.I ordered a drink 45 minutes ago, my glass is empty and I’m still sitting here. About 30 minutes ago I requested a menu, I didn’t have one offered to me. And I’m still sitting here with an empty drink and a menu in front of me on the table.No one has acknowledged me. It’s not very busy. I can see a couple bartenders just standing there with their hands in their pockets.Tips are earned for service and they won’t get any.If/when I come back to Kona I think I’m going to stay away from this bar.I’m writing this review live. So maybe if a manager sees this something might be done?5:30 Pm Friday April 14th 2023We’ll see if this gets me any response

Where to start...... service was incredible. Nathaniel gave me a foot massage poolside and poured my mai tai I to my gullet for me. Like a bird of paradise he emerged and gave me the best show of his plumage.Ill be back sooner than later. I'm a thirsty bird. ❤️

Parking: It was there
