If you want to catch the sunset in Kona, there are plenty of places to park your okole, and Island Lava Java is a great option. The three of us enjoyed our meal and the service. Our party ordered the guava-glazed ribs, the calamari, and the beet salad with the fresh catch (ono on this night). All were prepared well and quite good. Those with leftovers opted to take them home - a sure sign for us that it was good. If you are in Kona, this is a solid choice. Separate note: we also stopped in for breakfast and we found that to be ono as well.🤙🏻
