   Went for dinner. Understaffed. One, maybe 2 wait staff. $17 salad with some lettuce, few hearts of palm, a tomato. Small piece of overcooks fish for entree. Thought I was eating in a strip mall in Kona. Overpriced. Might be ok for lunch but disappointing for a 5 star hotel!!

   Beautiful beach setting. We watched the sunset during dinner with Hawaiian music playing in the distance at another nearby restaurant. Food was very good. Service wasn’t great perhaps due to short staffing. No one checked in on us after we were served our meals so no second round of drinks. We hardly noticed because the food and atmosphere were both lovely. We lingered on the beach afterward enjoying the stars and quiet. We were not hotel guests (it is a hotel restaurant). Free valet parking at hotel entrance by the kindest gentlemen who treated us as true guests. Impressive! A wonderful Thursday evening while on vacation in late April on the big island of Hawaii.

   Seems like they have raised their game with regards to food. Had the catch of the day… Opah with a Thai Curry sauce …. Excellent. Prices are pretty good considering where you are. Server was friendly and efficient and let’s face it the beach at Mauna Kea is a terrific place to catch sunset ! Nice job

   Brandon and Jacque were outstanding as always. Fish tacos out of this world. The reception at the gate is less than welcoming but once I confirmed my reservation outlet and time the demeanor and tone changed 😃. Valet team out of site.

   Beautiful ocean sunset views from our outdoor table and property. Right on the beach. Valet parking with reservation. Small but great food menu choices and kids menu offerings. Reasonable prices. Kids could play on the beach while you enjoy your drinks. Sunset was amazing. We stayed to watch the manta rays come to the lighted point at 8 pm.

    The view and location are great. But that’s about it. The service is friendly but very very slow. And while Catch of the Day was delicious, the Shrimp entree was over cooked and tough. Not worth the price.

    The setting and service are highly rated for sunset, the menu is limited and the fresh catch was not local, but farmed salmon. The featured dessert was disappointing. Overall, we would probably return.

    Beach location was perfect for sunset! Staff were great. Food is good, not great. But when you are on a sandy beach, watching a Hawaii Sunset, food is not the highest priority! We were happy we chose this dining option.

    Great view of the beach and sunset. Food was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Our server was very matter of fact and literally took our order and gave us our check. I don’t think she should be in the serving business at a tourist destination. Just our opinion. Drinks were watered down for the price you paid. The view made up for the just meh food drinks and service.

    Came here last night, reservations for 7:30pm, celebrating our 35th Anniversary. After seating it was a full 15 minutes before a server came by to welcome us, offer water, take a drink order, or anything. When a waitress finally did come, we asked for a beer and house cocktail off the menu and an order of gyoza to start. The waitress informed us that “the gyoza tonight is spring rolls.” What the heck? She left to get our drinks and shortly thereafter returned to tell us they didn’t have one of the liqueurs for the cocktail. Classy. We ordered entrées and when the food came arrived it was “ok.” This is a cafe at an expensive, five star hotel, and the meals are not cheap. Nice beachfront table though.

    We ate here several years ago and it was so great we wanted to revisit. The setting is wonderful, right on the beach with nice low key live music. Unfortunately the table of 20 right next to us drowned out the music. We waited 20 minutes before we saw any staff. Food was not very good especially considering the cost and our server didn’t come back until everyone was done, never asked if we wanted more drinks or even to fill the water. I realize they are probably short on staff and they did have a huge table but otherwise it wasn’t crowded. All in all it was a very disappointing dinner.

    My husband and I went on a kid free date night where we hoped to relax and enjoy dinner over a couple of hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 and even though we ordered 3 appetizers and 2 mains we were out of there in 40 mins. We were so rushed and we were only offered one drink. Our mains arrived as we were still only half way through our appetizers. I’m so disappointed with how the service went… the food was good but not amazing … hard to enjoy when you are rushing. Was hoping for a different experience. BUT the view was incredible and our table was amazing.

    The best thing was the View, Sunset was amazing.... then appetizers came, the fries was different but good, the cocktail shrimp was ok (and I love shrimp), the drinks was not worth the price. Entrees was 50/50. The fish special was "good" and the Pork had a burnt taste, altogether for the price we paid for 2 entrees, 2 appetizers and 2 drinks, it was not worth it.

    The drinks are great, the food is marginal. 3 of the salads were missing or had minimal ingredients. We ordered a bottle of wine and I noticed my wine glass had lipstick on it as I went to take a sip. I've taken guests to the Hau Tree 3 times over the past 2 years, and have been disappointed in the food 2 of the 3 times and won't be going back. That said, the view is lovely.
