We ordered a hamburger for $34 USD and although the hamburger was very good all there was in the plate was the hamburger, nothing else! I assumed there’s be French fries at the very least for that price So essentially I paid $40cdn for a hamburger!!! The Caesar salad for $20usd was just very ordinary chopped romaine with croutons?!!!! Way overpriced for the presentation and quantity

The Grille is the best and perhaps only steak house on the West side of the Big Island. The food ingredients and steaks are outstanding. However, the service is not up to the usual Four Seasons standards. The prices are expensive and there is no kama'aina discounts offered.

Outstanding is an understatement…… Our anniversary this year could not have been better. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. Fresh pretzel rolls and salted butter were brought immediately with fresh water to our table facing the 18th green. A generous portion of Caesar salad was plenty to split, and then a short time later the main courses arrived. The bone in pork chop was simply the best I have ever had. Period. My wife had a nice filet mignon. Both were cooked to perfection. The German chocolate cake was just exquisite and again easily split by two people. Not an every day restaurant but my goodness it felt great to splurge. You deserve it! Try Hualalai Grille for your next dinner outing and you will be very glad you did….

We like to enjoy a nice dinner out once or twice every month. This month it’s Four Seasons Hualalai Grill and La Bourgogne. FSHG has outdoor seating, cocktails, nice meal choice and everything is delivered with their top tier service. Was the lobster bacon fried rice side dish $20? Yes. Was it worth every penny? Absolutely! Perfect filet mignon with my favorite girl, mahalo!

The fresh Mai Tais and bar service were excellent (Thank you Jeff). The seating on the Lanai and overall ambiance was lovely. The wine list was thoughtfully curated. The menu is extensive and overall the items ordered were thoughtfully prepared and flavorful with the exception of Kobe ribeye - ordered medium rare but came to the table with a too-thick charred crust and a solid medium temp. I'm rarely so particular but I expected precision for the quality and price. Server was friendly - more personable and goofy than professional; by his own admission it was only his second day. Support staff were efficient and prompt. Overall it was a good experience.

Best meal we had on the Big Island. The food and service was terrific. I had the 7 oz filet mignon with the half lobster tail. The steak was cooked to medium rare as I had ordered it. It's pricey but worth it.

Great location, filet was perfectly cooked as was the chop. The fried rice was way too salty and poor white wine selection by the glass. We had to flag down one of the people clearing tables to get our check ring through after waiting 30 minutes for our waiter. We understand things are a little stacked up with Covid effecting the workforce but 30 min. Was too long to wait.

No doubt, this is a Four Season's experience. From the moment we gave our car to the valet until the moment he returned it, everything was "over the top". The hostess greeted us and seated us immediately, our server, Jason, was back with our cocktails quickly. We enjoyed both the Wedge Salad and the Tomato Salad. After enjoying all the fresh fish on the Island, we both had filet's that were prepared exactly as ordered. The Brussel Sprouts were prepared with a bit of Sriracha, giving them a nice spicy flavor. To help us celebrate my birthday, they brought a German Chocolate Macadamia Cake which was delicious. Can't say enough good things about our experience.

It was a very good, very expensive dinner out. The food was expertly prepared and service was good. But honestly not the most gourmet meal or best service I have had, even in the last month, but by far the most expensive. Some of the pricing was pretty ridiculous as well. Everything was ala carte, so for example a baked potato (maybe $2 in the grocery store) was $13, a drink $30, small looking steak $75 etc. The staff knew we were there for a 75th birthday. But in the end, did nothing for the person celebrating the birthday. Seems like after spending $645.00 on dinner for four, they could have brought him a scoop of ice cream at the end. Felt like we paid for the best but did not get it.
