    Not a good experience at all. Appetizers and main course all came at the same time and food was cold. The pizza was soggy and had no seasonings or flavor, the calamari was very good and bland, the sushi was very bland as well and waitress was very pushy to pick a certain sushi roll that we did not want. If it wasn’t for the Manta rays the whole trip would have been a waste. For the price we paid for meal and tip with below average waitress service not worth it at all, would never eat there again. Not sure how you have a restaurant like that at a hotel that costs a minimum of $800 a night….

    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!
