   This has been one of our go-to places that we love, however, this night was really off. There usually are beautiful flowers on the hostess station - but it was bare and noticeable (to me). Had to wait a few minutes to be seated even though there were only about 5 tables with guests. The service was slow - my husband's ice tea had no ice in it, no refill offered. My truffle fries had a small sprinkling of Parmesan but other than that no different than the fries that came with his hamburger. The music and hula dancer were awesome and added to the ambiance. Overall it just didn't have the WOW factor I'm used to here even though it was a slow night.

   Our server, Robert, was prompt and attentive. New York strip and seared Ahi were great. Cocktails great. Thanks for a delicious birthday dinner.

   We went here to celebrate our son’s 21st birthday. The hostess was very nice and welcoming. The atmosphere was beautiful. Server acted like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. 2 of the 6 dishes we ordered were good- fish special and pasta. Truffle fries were not freshly made. Ahi was the worst we have ever had. Overall, expensive for a less than mediocre experience.

    We went to the Copper Bar to celebrate our nephew's engagement. Pomai Brown was the live entertainment and he was fantastic. The service was great and the food was wonderful. Highly recommend the experience.

    The food was delicious, and we were fortunate enough to get an ocean view so the ambience was fabulous. Unfortunately our server seemed like he just didn’t want to be there and was very overwhelmed and apathetic to the quality of our experience.

    We had a lovely end of school celebration. The noise level with the music playing makes it almost impossible to talk. Please ask the musician not to use the amplifier. Music should be BACKGROUND!!!!!

    Copper Bar is a beautiful, ocean-front, open-air restaurant in the Mauna Kea Hotel. There is live music and often a hula dancer, nightly. The food is always very good and the restaurant is very kid-friendly and one of the best on the Big Island. The only issue, sometimes, is the service. Often, when large groups are being accommodated, the service can be slow, especially at the initial meeting with the server.

    Arugula was not trimmed and stems too tough to eat. No basil on items that included basil. Used basil flakes. I thought that sashimi might have been sliced thinner and that also would provide more in the bowl

    The hearts of palm salad was delicious! Also the mushroom crusted mahi was surprisingly good if somewhat busy. Could use a more extensive wine list. Not a bargain, but then if you come here you can’t be surprised. Enjoyed it.

    Really feel bad leaving a negative review as the people who tirelessly work here are as warm and kind as can be. The food, unfortunately, is really not enjoyable. They took special care with allergies, which I appreciated. Unfortunately I just didn’t want to eat the food after the first couple of bites.

    The first night we dined, we ordered a lot of alcohol and we’re treated well. The second night we dined there, we didn’t feel like drinking and the waiter treated us as if he couldn’t be bothered. Guests should not be judged by how much we spend per meal. This seems to be the theme at the Mauna Kea property. It’s very disappointing. I felt like just a dollar sign to them. I guess that’s all i am.. sad.

    Tasty vegetarian options, considerate service, and delightful ambiance made Copper Bar my ultimate favorite restaurant on the Mauna Kea Property. I tried the KFC, broccolini, and the mashed potatoes and they were delicious especially compared to the options in the area. The server, Delrae, was exceedingly friendly and checked on me just the proper amount of times. The bartender made an enjoyable Mule with Tequila as requested. Until the very last minute, I enjoyed Copper Bar. If you're looking for a meal nearby and are a veggie fan, I highly recommend!

    Table not ready at time of reservation. Had to wait a long time for first course. Server lied to us about reason for delay. One of our party’s fish was raw in the center. Server brought a replacement portion of fish that was cooked and said he wouldn’t charge for it. Table was small with uncomfortable seating and wobbled until the sever fixed it.

    The Copper Bar was an awesome experience. The view and ambience is amazing, the music is perfect and the service is impeccable. Like with most hotel restaurants, the food is average, but the overall appeal is well worth the cost of the meal. Definitely on point if you are looking for a beautiful, lovely, well served meal on the big island.

    Cocktails were delicious although expensive,but no different from most places in Hawaii. The food was very good,I had the Cochon flatbread pizza and my husband had the burger. Both were perfect. We also shared the malasadas dessert. Yummy. After dinner we wandered over to the rocks lit up to draw the manta rays in. Were lucky to see a very large very active ray. Service was very attentive but not intrusive and the entertainment was lovely with a singer and hula dancer. We will definitely return on our next trip.
