    This place came with such good ratings. The food was just not good. Really disappointed, the chicken was like rubber, will not recommend this place. Having been to fish hopper in Monterey my expectations in Hawaii were to be at least on par but not even close!

    We immediately informed we had 1 hour to eat because it was 4th of July although this was not mentioned in the reservation. They seemed very intent on enforcing this even though they were only half full when we left. They gave up paying customers for empty tables. Not a great business plan. Food was good but hard to enjoy a $60 steak under time pressure. Certainly no Aloha spirit.

    Great service. Server had a very nice demeanor. Patient with us since we were with friends and busy talking and not paying much attention to menu and ordering.

    Excellent food and desserts. Great place on the water with a nice view. Really appreciate the Kama’aina menu and the free appetizer and dessert for military … that’s very generous. I still went with the Land and Sea Burger tho. Nico was the best waiter we’ve had anywhere around the world in YEARS. We will definitely visit Fish Hopper once more before leaving the Big Island. Highly recommend.
