16 Best Seafood Restaurants near Waikoloa Village

“Awesome dinner and fresh Ono is the best“

“This is a really solid Asian fusion spot! I’ve tried some pretty weird “Asian fusion” restaurants before, but this one is actually very well-balanced and flavorful. The dishes lean a little on the sweeter. The butterfish especially reminded me of Japanese grilled eel，rich, tender, and slightly sweet.“

“We have eaten at this spectacular restaurant several times over several decades, and you could not ask for a better place to eat in Waikoloa.
We have stayed at the resort which is very nice in and of itself, or have just dined there for the relaxing atmosphere, open ocean breeze, and most importantly the delicious meals.

It is no wonder why the food is always top notch considering the Executive Chef Jayson Kanekoa, Sous Chef Henry Matteo, and Butcher Keoki Young have been a team there for decades. You do not last in the fine dining profession at a resort unless you are top professionals.
Even our waiter Ringo has been there decades, and his prompt service and attention to all our needs reflects well on the management.
This Marriot resort has selected and kept such great professionals in the kitchen, and out front serving their guests for good reason.

As to this specific meal, we had a wonderful appetizer of scallops that were large, succulent, well seasoned, and brazed just right. The sauce they were in guaranteed a cleaned plate when finished.
We then had the main course of our favorite fish, Opakapaka. It is a deep water Hawaiian pink snapper which we cannot get on the east coast.
As usual it was deliciously prepared and cooked to perfection, with it almost melting in your mouth being so delicate with a sweet flavor. It was sauteed with a wonderful sauce, topped with some type of caviar, on top of crisp green beans and seasoned potatoes.

Having been completed satiated, we didn't try a dessert, but they looked very tempting.
Everything was perfect, and just like our previous experiences we always have memories of the great time, and desire to return when we visit Hawaii. Even if we hadn't planned on getting to the Waikoloa coast while island hopping, the Harvest 19 is too alluring to resist.“

“The Pancakes are THE BEST!!!“

“Our favorite meal on the Island! Everything was delicious and we literally savored every bite. Service was impeccable and you can’t beat the view, especially at sunset. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I stayed several days for his 50th birthday. Surprise to us at check-in they had upgraded our room to an oceanfront room.., completely complimentary. It was hands down the best experience we have ever had. From the friendly staff, to the amazing meals and all the beautiful views inside and outside the resort. Mahalo! Mauna Lani!“

“Warm, friendly, welcoming casual atmosphere, excellent food, seems like a well-loved local hangout, good music.“

“delicious calamari and curry mussels appetizers, rib eye entries a must and for dessert brownies with ice cream and fried banana“

“What a fun place to eat. Phenomenal food and fun folks. Sunday night with Matt, Daryl, Danby and Bok-Choy Nagasaki Boy. See you in February“

“i had the ribs... delicious“

“Totally awesome authentic burger place. My only regret was not ordering another burger. My sister had the Surf Burger and I had the Hi-Heat. On the drive back to our hotel, we just randomly kept saying what a great burger those were. Honestly surprised we didn’t turn around and go back for more.“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life—my goodness! Chief Soto is absolutely incredible. The filet mignon was hands down the best filet mignon I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.

Honestly, everything you eat here is going to be delicious. You can tell Chief Soto puts his heart and love into every single meal he makes, and you can taste it in every bite. This isn’t just good food—it’s food made with passion. 10/10, absolutely amazing! 🔥🥩❤ Also best sunsets ever“

“Okay, let's start with the view. I mean, wow. Kauna'oa Bay, up close and personal. We were warmly welcomed & because I had noted my friend's birthday in my Open Table reservation comments, she received a “happy birthday” greeting too. The evening “cantina menu” is upscale Mexican. We started with the guacamole (stirred table-side) with chips and an array of salsas. I had chicken enchiladas but I don't recall the 2nd entree. Both delicious. We were stuffed but to celebrate the birthday we indulged in a shared Ovaltine Froth - a fun signature Mauna Kea ice cream dessert. The stunning sunset was the real icing on the cake!“

“We held our 50th Class Reunion there. Food was out of this world delicious and the Bartender, in addition to being a nice guy, made the perfect Bloody Mary. I am thinking that I may need to not wait for our 55 year reunion to visit :)“

“Kawika was an amazing bartender/server. He kept our drinks full, kept us laughing, and was super attentive. He described the lobster fried rice and made it sound so good that we decided to order it. It was delicious!!!!! Then he sold us the mud pie and again it was a winner. Thank you Kawika for your knowledge, aloha, and hospitality“

“Loved our dinner at Browns Beach House! Ambiance was great, especially our seat right along the lawn (unobstructed view of the sunset) and the live music. Our server, Liana, was excellent and very personable. I enjoyed my chicken entree and champagne. My husband had a delectable coconut/cacao cocktail and a fish entree - mahi mahi. It was such a lovely evening. Very memorable, especially those delicious rolls!“
