Fantastic views especially during sunset.Customer service from the entire staff was smooth and friendly especially since we had a bigger party.Bathrooms are outside and shared with the complex so there’s none within the restaurantFood was awesome, I had the smash burger which was delish and their dynamite fries are amazing especially not being over drenchedFantastic experience and definitely coming back again.Parking: Paid parking lot via App and QR code

The casual upscale vibe pays attention to the details—like casual artisanal silverware, cool black plates, and waiters with crisp white shirts. But the view really steals the show; it’s one of my favorite sunset spots.My fish tacos were the best I’ve had on the island, with sweet coleslaw and chutney providing excellent layers in the palate.They have a decent mocktail menu, at least one gluten free option, and a tempting-sounding ube cheesecake.

Fish tacos are good. Server was friendly and helpful.Having to sit in the bar for dinner, near vaping and a screaming loud UFC fight on television sucks. Vaping around food... Who in earth thinks that's ok???

I made reservations for a party of 6. When we got there it's was a very nice, the sunset was in the background and the restaurant itself was tastefully decorated. Our server was awful, she said that she was the only server but, she was talking story with 2 of the tables nonstop. Our food came out in sections. My niece was done by the time that my daughter's arrived. When it did finally get it, it was cold. I got the Macadamia chicken and my husband got the fish taco which was also awful. My son had something floating on the bottom of his beer.The waitress did give us 10% off, but it didn't even cover the 20% gratuity that was automatically added.The cheesecake was good, but overall it was really pricy and not so good experience.I would not recommend it!!!

As regular visitors of Kailua-Kona we discovered Aloha Vibes while browsing the market area. It is exactly the kind of restaurant we’ve been looking for, with delicious shareable plates, a solid wine menu, friendly service and a brilliant view of the sunset. Good vibes reggae music plays in the background. We definitely plan to return during our next stay!

My first time visiting this establishment was on my birthday- big mistake. This restaurant was over priced and underwhelming. Upon being seated- honestly the most notable aspect was the view. My husband’s Macadamia Nut Chicken was cold from his first bite but he was so hungry he just barreled through. My best friend ordered the Seared Ahi Salad and it arrived with the saddest amount of ahi possible for the price. I ordered the Smash Burger as the menu is limited. The pricing was Waikiki level- clearly seeming to capitalize on tourists and not catering to locals in any way. I guess that’s the “Aloha Vibe”. Most items on the menu had a strong Asian flare which was kind of a turn off when looking for something not fishy/seafood inspired. Settling on the burger- was alright although my friend’s son got the keiki burger and they literally looked the exact same with the difference being the toppings. The price being 10 or so dollars difference. I’ve been telling everyone to save their money. The waitress was sincerely lacking as well. They’ll sell you an affogato martini but said twice they don’t do anything for birthdays when we asked if we could just order a scoop of ice cream for the occasion. The waitress was like ‘uh, no we don’t do that’… SO ALL THIS BEING SAID: I would recommend finding a higher quality place for the pricing and surely a better experience overall. The name is misleading.

Happened across this place looking for a sunset dinner to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The food & service were incredible and we had the perfect table on the patio to watch the sunset. We tried the kahlua pork egg rolls, carpaccio of the day, dynamite fries, ahi tuna salad, macadamia hibachi chicken, poke bowl, poke tacos, ube oreo cheesecake. Everything was delicious, probably the best meal we’ve ever had on the 5 years we’ve been to Kona. Small venue so you should make a reservation or expect a wait. We parked in the paid lot across the street. Don’t miss this place!
