    One of our favorite spots in the islands, KPC always delivers. It’s the best location to watch the sunset and listen to the waves below. The service is friendly and helpful, the food delicious. My husband said the filet mignon was one of the best steaks he’s tasted. I tried kanpachi as the catch of the day and it was perfection. Highly recommend KPC!

    My friends and I decided to skip cooking on Thanksgiving and made a reservation at Papa Kona instead. We are SO GLAD that we did! We had an oceanside table so the views were outstanding. The Light and Dark Turkey dinner was delicious and exactly the right amount of food: three slices of turkey, truffle butter green beans with mushrooms, stuffing, mashed potatoes with chives, cranberry sauce (almost like cranberry jam), a roll, and a slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream. There were not many leftovers at our table. Our server Erin was absolutely lovely, and provided excellent service with style. Mahalo for welcoming our ohana with yours, Papa Kona!
