    My wife and I are full-time Big Island residents that live in the Mauna Kea resort. Copper Bar is certainly one of our favorite restaurants. The location is spectacular, right above Mauna Kea Beach. The food is always tasty. The service is excellent and there is live music with hula dancing nightly. There are very few restaurants in Hawaii that offer a similar dining experience.

    Another great dinner at Copper Bar! Our server, Lowell, was perfect. Loved the sashimi trio and the butterfish was cooked to perfection. We’re going back tomorrow.

    The atmosphere, service, pizzas, sushi, and drinks were fantastic. The malasadas were supposed to be the best around but were okay at best.

    I LOVE the ambiance here. The view, the music, the hula dancing are all sublime, and service is good, too! Food leaves much to be desired. My frozen Mai Tai was blah...very weak! My beet salad was very skimpy on the beats and the cheese. The crust on my pizza was so tough it was nearly inedible. If Copper Bar could improve their food, it would be a 5 star experience!

    Food was just Ok. Liked the open air setting but it was quite loud with large groups and families. We went at sunset and the building configuration completely blocks all views of sunset. If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing spot to view the sunset and have a bite, this isn’t it. The menu and views are better at the Westin restaurants next door for this.

    Most of the food was excellent except for the dumplings they were undercooked and wrapper was raw and chewy

    We go to the Copper Bar every time we are in Hawaii. We always loved the food and service. This time the food was just ok, not what we are used to. The service was not what Copper Bar service used to be either. Maybe it was an off night.
