My partner and I were looking for food on a whim and stumbled in here for lunch! We got sat by the water and it was wonderful to hear the waves crashing. Our waiter was super awesome, we got some yummy cocktails and the food was great! The catch of the say was cooked perfectly (for me) and then my partner got this chicken sandwich with fried avocado on it and he loved it! It’s a very casual atmosphere and it was just what we needed.

We went here for Happy Hour and we each ordered all 3 Pupus; Fish Taco, Slider, Mini Nachos. I loved them in the order listed and will have a full meal of the fish tacos if we go back before our trip is over. I gave 4 stars for food because our mini nachos were missing the Kahlua pork. We didn't order cocktails. Our server, Marshall, was friendly and attentive. He was new and let us know, but still did an excellent job.

This is one of the best restaurants you’ll find in the Kona area on the Big Island of Hawaii. They offer live music, stunning ocean-view tables, and some of the best food around. The bar area is also fantastic! I went with friends and had the Kona Fish Tacos with Volcano Fries, while most of my friends tried their popular Kalua Pork Nachos—which they said featured incredibly juicy and flavorful pork. We soaked in the ocean view while enjoying every bite. They do not take reservations, and there’s always a line, with a minimum wait time of 45 minutes. I’d recommend going early to put your name down and then coming back later. Definitely a must-visit spot for dinner at least once when you're in Kona!

The staff were super friendly, our waiter was outstanding on the service and customer service. The food was delicious. There were local musicians, atmosphere was fantastic! Great place to eat. Love the fact that the restaurant donates back to the island charities from your purchase specials that they have. Outstanding place!
