Lobster soup and Scallops appetizer were very good. Good wine selection and red was served slightly chilled. Plan to go back during our stay at the Fairmont.

For the price we paid for this dinner. The menu was very limited. The menu was odd. The food was not very good. They need a complete menu change for the prices they charge. The service was great, but the food and value were BAD!

We were there for our 34th anniversary and the entire experience was just special. My husband enjoyed the slow-paced, no rush in between dishes. We enjoyed live music by Kai, the wait service by Chelsi and another gentleman who was very generous with the Ube rolls. The atmosphere was to die for (beach, sunset, great weather). It is now on my wish list to stay at the Fairmont Orchid one day!

If you are on the Big Island of Hawaii, Brown’s Beach House is a fantastic place for a romantic evening dinner. The ambience was great with beautiful views of the Pacific. While a bit pricey, the food was very good and lived up to the price. Highly recommend this place.
