One of our favorite places to enjoy gatherings with family and friends. Friendly staff and good selections of drinks you won’t be disappointed. Only one thing…. Our table was wobbly. We tried ourselves to fix it with tissue papers but didn’t help much. We had to ask our server to fix it. It’s a miner problem but I hope it won’t happen again. Thank you!

A lovely setting by the sea and a great place for drinks, but keep your expectations low on food. We ordered drinks, the fried Brussels sprouts app and two hearty salads, reading other poor reviews about the food. We thought salads would be safe. Everything came out super fast, and all together, including cocktails. No such thing as courses here! The Wedge was almost bare with a couple small pieces of bacon and the added Ono was tasty, but way over cooked and dry. I ordered more ranch dressing (for an additional charge) to make it more than just a chunk of lettuce. The Ahi salad was good, though sparse. Brussels were mostly just unrecognizable fried things with a soggy sweet sauce and peanuts. The Ube Margarita was great and the service was very friendly and attentive. Come for a friendly, relaxing, beautiful view. Don't expect much from the kitchen.

Great food and ambience as you sit by one of Konas’s most beautiful beaches and on the water. Food is top notch and has something for everyone as we were all vegan they accommodated us nicely ! Great cocktails made from fresh local farm ingredients fresh herbs and juices. Food is pricey ! Our vegan curry of rice and curry medium portion size was $30 … no meat no dairy just rice and sauce but it was tasty … just be prepared to shell it out. About the same as I paid at the four seasons hotel beachside restaurant.

The setting is very casual on the beach. Food is simple; chicken wings were a special and quite good, large size wings with a sweeter sauce and rice to soak up extra. Garlic shrimp very generous portion and wedge salad was huge. Fresh vegetables, bacon, blue cheese dressing.
