Starting service was a bit slow to even get our menus, 1st drinks etc.. however maybe it was just short staffing situation, perhaps? At any rate.. we’ll be back!

We were very pleased with the food and service at Fosters. The grilled calamari was outstanding! We wish more restaurants offered grilled instead of battered and fried. Fosters is very hard to find if you are driving. They offer free parking with validation but finding the appropriate lot is challenging. The restaurant is upstairs from the Kona Heaven superb coffee shop.

This place is great. The food is delicious, I’m guessing because it’s mostly local farmer ingredients. And the portions are HUGE with great prices. We will definitely visit again, highly recommend.

Food was OK. Service was abysmal. Worst experience we have ever had at a restaurant. We were a party of four and ordered right after being seated - two grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato bisque, an ahi salad and fried chicken. We watched as several other tables who were seated after us received their food. 45 minutes after ordering we received the soups, grilled cheese and fried chicken. Never received refills on our drinks. Our waitress was too busy chatting with other patrons and staff. We finished eating while the last person in our party still had not received his food. We had to leave for the airport (we had informed the waitress of the time constraint when we ordered and she assured us it would not be a problem). We waited another 20 minutes until we had to leave and asked for the check. She was surprised our food still hadn't come (we had tried to get her attention multiple times to ask her to check on it, but were unable to). She could not have cared less. We ate at several other restaurants that had far better food and service. Skip this place and head to Huggos, On the Rocks, Cipriano's, or Merrimans.

Great location. Service was good! But food was just average; not what we anticipated.
