Honu's on the Beach Restaurantcisco shines at honuWe were really lucky that there was fine dining in the hotel we were staying at for a wedding. The convenience probably would've had us eating there regardless so it was a real joy to find a terrific menu;well presented and tasteful food. The star however was the waiter we happened to get twice. He was a joy professional knowledgeable sincere and genuine and fun. Two nights later we dined at Honu again and we're lucky to get Cisco as our waiter again. Not only did he remember us and make us feel wanted, but when he started with me for cocktail order he asked if I'd like an absolute, soda with lime again this evening! He remembered what i drank from two nights earlier! five of us had splendid experience. wonderful ambiance and view5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMWe attended the Prime Rib/SeafoodWe attended the Prime Rib/Seafood buffet and found the selections varied and flavorful. Our waitress was AMAZING and we sat outside on the lanai and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around us.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous start to a vacationOverlooking the beach and bay the location is perfect for any occasion. Attached to the King Kamehameha hotel it has inside and outside seating with lovely cauldron fires for warmth but in April the climate is perfect for outside dining. At $41 the Friday buffet was expensive but nothing was missed in terms of types of food or service. If you want something cheaper the bar next door has a different, more simple menu but the food is prepared in the same kitchens. It was a fabulous start to our vacation.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMust TryExcellent food! Extremely friendly and helpful staff!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMA Very GoodHionu's a pleasant place to dine, with a terrace looking out over a lawn and Kona Bay. We were very pleased with our dinner, with a few wrinkles that hopefully will get ironed out over time. The maitai was made from good ingredients, not the crumby mix some places use. Our Ceasar salads were tasty. The seared ahi dinner included a sushi roll that was briefly fried in tempura, and the flavors of everything were delicious. The scallops were just lightly cooked. The steak was a little overcooked, but very tender and tasty, and the garlic greens were delicious. The house-made fig ice cream was great, but the molten lava cake was not molten. Service was a tad slow but friendly. They just need to avoid overcooking a few things.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the best meals we hadOne of the best meals we had with 2 weeks in Kaanapali.3/7/2013 12:00:00 AM
