Lowell was a fantastic server, and the food was perfect and the right price compared with comparable locations. We loved the amazing green beans and KFC cauliflower, and the really awesome Cochon pizza. Such a great restaurant! And the music/hula is an added treat!

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. This time Food was horrible. Calamari was chewy, dry and super salty. Sent it back and waitress said others had sent theirs back. Fried cauliflower did t have flavor, Sushi was very bland and uninspired. Pork ribs had so much sauce that it eclipsed the flavor of the meat. Felt like more than an off night further kitchen but that they have some bigger problems.

We both ordered the fresh catch..delicious. Our server, Beverly, was excellent. Very nice evening with Hawaiian music

Food could've been better but the drinks and our great server, River, made our overall experience. River did a great job at introducing himself, getting us acquainted with drinks/food, and having great conversations while dealing with difficult customers surrounding us. He keeps a great composure and knows how to diffuse a situation. As workers in the food and beverage industry as well, it's awesome to see a worker thrive and knowing how to deal with situations. If you're going for food, the consistency isn't there but drinks and great service isn't something to worry about.

We watched a perfect sunset last night at the Copper Bar, enjoying the music and hula dancer. Our dinners were delicious—rib eye for me and grilled octopus for my husband.

Everything was perfect except for a mosquito bite at sundown. Food, service and ambiance were excellent. Will definitely be back.

The Copper Bar overlooks picturesque Kauna'oa Bay and features live music and hula. We had the dip trio with outstanding bread followed by several appetizers which were all tasty. After sunset as a bonus we strolled down to the Manta viewing area and saw 5 mantas barrel rolling as they enjoyed their plankton treats. Pleasant experience.

Loved this place, had great table to see sunset and live Hawaiian music and dancer. The space itself is dramatic and gorgeous, the views are beautiful and the food and service are very good. A friend had said it was one of her favorite places on the island and I'm glad she recommended it. We loved it.
We were greeted imediately upon arrival and made to feel special by staff. Our service with River was over the top, he came by often to check on us. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we will definitely by back.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Copper Bar as usual. River was our server and he was the best. We got there early for our reservations but were seated at the best table for viewing the sunset. We told River we wanted to linger. He didn't hover but he never ignored us. We shared the sashimi sampler which was out of this world. The KFC , lightly battered fried cauliflower, and the plumeria roll. Cocktails and wine. And delicious local ice cream and cheesecake. The sunset was stunning and so was our meal.

Awesome place. We had dinners reservations and were seated on time from a friendly hostess. Our server Tony was great, very attentive and personable! A local we met from Mahukona recommended the KFC appetizer (Korean Fried Cauliflower), it was the bomb! Almost ordered it again instead of an entree. Bartender Austin makes a great drink and was great to chat with

Back in 2020, my wife and I stayed at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel for the first time. A lot of restaurants in the Kohala area were closed due to COVID. The Copper Bar was one of the only places open for meals. We got very familiar with the restaurant and enjoyed the food, the service, and the setting. Since then, we've returned to visit the Mauna Kea two or three times a year, and have always included Copper Bar as one of our favorites. A couple of years ago we noticed that the food was losing quality. I'm not a food critic, so it's hard to describe what was happening, but the dishes weren't as flavorful or special as they once were. We would try the Copper Bar once on each visit, but avoided going more than that. We're very happy to report that the Copper Bar has recovered. Service (as overseen by the friendly new manager Michael) was excellent, as were the dishes we ordered. Bravo to the Copper Bar team. It's back on our list of favorites.
