Romantic upscale dining with fabulous views of Kailua Bay since 1962. If Kona town has any “fine dining” this would be it. Great for celebrations and romantic dinners. A bit pricey, but usually reliable.

Good made from scratch “slow food.”!When they opened it was great. The last couple of times we went it was just OK.
Maybe we ordered the wrong things. The Southern style pork chop is usually excellent.
Great bar.

In fairness we’ve only been there twice for brunch. It was so-so, but it has the best restaurant view in Kona Town.
Lunch and dinner may be better.
