12 yr old son & I each ordered swordfish at Kona restaurant. His was a small piece, mine noticeably smaller. Came on top of some mashed potatoes and vegetables. A small stack of food in the middle of the plate. Ate in a couple minutes. Tasty but a very poor value for the price. They need bigger, even sized portions or to at least provide some bread. Person who recommended said she "is not a big eater", didn't get this was code for small portions, but know now, and won't go back or recommend.

Large dining area, right across from the water - nice view, not too much road noise if you are sitting at the window next to the street.

Definitely a large selection of seafood – ono, ahi, sea bass, shrimp, mahi-mahi. Entrees are in the $16-$29 price range. Lots of tropical drinks. But only a few wine choices – mostly low end cab and zins with one pinot – no Shiraz.

Décor was tropical, food was good (not great) and service was simply average.

If you are craving imported seafood options, this is probably the best choice on this part of the island. However, there are better choices for quality, value and service.

We, a party of 2, had lunch there @ 11:30 on a Wednesday. The place was only about 1/3 full, but the service was very slow. The server forgot to bring the lemon for our water until the 3rd request, then sent over someone from the bar w/the 2 slices (1 for each glass). When we requested extra napkins, same thing. I had fish tacos, which were o.k., but not nearly as good as the 3 other places in Hawaii that I had them. Lots of cabbage, very little fish. I got the impression that it was more of a bar w/the restaurant as an afterthought. It is on the main street by the water, so it gets a lot of business, but I would give it a pass.

Went here on our final night of our 6night stay on the big island and it was really nice. Parking in the back, tho small, was nice.

Started off with some mai tais which were good and reasonably priced. Coconut shrimp was really good. So was the clam chowder.

My wife had the lobster seafood pasta which was excellent. I had the fish trio which was also very good.

The view is also amazing. We sat in the front of the restaurant and you are looking right into the water just across the street. Really nice.

All in all, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back if/when we are back on the big island.

Thanks for a wonderful Birthday experience. The view, food, and staff are excellent. Thanks Sam!
