The Mahi-Mahi was exceptional! It was perfectly cooked and the sauce was mind blowing. Even the vegetables had so much flavor.
The drinks were also amazing! We loved everything!

Great food, good service and good atmosphere make this a perfect stop for lunch or dinner in Kona. We have been going here for years now and they are always one of the best spots on island!

This food is heavenly! We all love it. My daughter has to eat gluten-free for medical reasons, and they fully accommodated her. Their gluten-free burger was incredible. The Kalua pork sliders were soooo delicious!! Omg! And the server was so nice. Good music too. Views of the ocean as well.
