4 Best Wine Bars near Waikoloa Village

“Love this adorable wine bar! Attached to the nicest grocery store on the island, we were pleasantly surprised to find this little gem. We had read some really good reviews and were not disappointed. Good prices, intimate atmosphere and attentive service. We didn't eat but the food served looked amazing. Definitely worth a stop.“

“Second visit after 3 years; they changed chef and the menu is all different now. There is no tasting menu anymore (which was a great deal back then) and only la carte menu. Overall quality of the food didn’t drop. The butterfish entree is solid; the clam broth is amazing, the fish melts in your mouth and the portion is generous. The bread costs $10 now but it is as good as before, if not better. The shrimp ceviche is an interesting take, it’s actually cooked shrimp and not marinated in lemon juice. The shrimps still taste great, but it might not be the ceviche that most people are expecting.The only issue we had during the dinner was our server did not explain the Keahole lobster well; he seemed to confuse the Maine lobster with the “real” lobster in the Pacific ocean and assured me the “Keahole lobster” doesn’t have claws. When I saw the dish, I realized it is actually Maine lobster imported then raised in a local farm for a while as the name suggests. I don’t think it’s our server’s fault; more likely it was something they missed in staff training or the chef not communicating well. It still tastes great, but less flavorful than the Maine lobsters in US mainland. Would not recommend the lobster especially considering the hefty price.Parking: Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to reservation. Self park in the Hilton resort’s parking lot, walk to the resort entrance, then walk in the left wing of the resort for about 10 minutes to get to the restaurant.“

“Overall excellent. I always think the MaiTai's could be a little stronger but then that is just me! I can always get an extra dark rum to add! Our server was excellent and responsive to our request to go it slow! Beet salad with goats cheese was superb and my burger was cooked to perfection.“

“The service is amazing. The server was very attentive and knowledgeable. He also replaced an undercooked fish with a new one.The views there are sooooo beautiful. The ocean and the rocks and the bay are gorgeous.But, the food is pretty meh and is very overpriced. The snapper is pretty bland. The Brussel sprouts and the buratta salad were nothing memorable either. Food wise, you can find far more flavorful food for a lot less elsewhere.“
