Ponds Hilo is a charming restaurant situated over a koi pond, offering a unique dining experience. The atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of fish, turtles, and ducks. The service is attentive, with servers happy to charge phones and provide entertainment for children. The menu features a range of options, including the popular Mai Tai special, which is delicious and served in a pint-sized beer glass. The restaurant's seafood dishes, such as the Seafood Linguine with vodka sauce and the Tahitian Clam soup, are popular choices. However, some dishes have received mixed reviews. The NY Steak was cooked to perfection, but lacked flavor due to the absence of seasoning. The garlic mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables were also underseasoned. On the other hand, the Salmon salad was a hit with one reviewer, while the fish and chips were only average. Overall, Ponds Hilo is a unique dining experience, but the quality of the food can be inconsistent. With a small parking lot and wheelchair accessibility, it is a convenient option for those looking for a special dinner. However, with prices over $100 for a meal, some reviewers felt that the value was not justified.
