A super solid poolside bar featuring tons of cocktails, beer and food! We made a visit everyday while we were in Kona since we were staying at the hotel. The staff was super friendly and kind even giving us a free mistake order one day. I was a fan of their mai tai's and my partner liked the seltzers they had on tap. We ordered their chicken tacos, meat lover's flatbread and cheeseburger throughout our stay and everything was banging, great quality and came out super quick!

Staying at the Courtyard. View is nice with good service but food was overpriced and mediocre with undressed Tostada Salad with 4 pieces of chicken that were dried up and a few lettuce leaves. Would not recommend if you are looking for quality food.

The food was fine, but the service here was awful. We were staying at the hotel, so were here a few times due to convenience and because we had vouchers for free Mai Tais, but had we not been staying here, I would not have been back. One afternoon, a server never came to our table, so we had to go flag him down to ask if we could order food. He said no, that they were switching shifts and we'd just have to wait. Someone came over about 10 minutes later, took our order, and asked us to close out right away because his shift was ending. There was no change in server and no one ever followed up after we ordered food (it was just delivered by a food runner) so we didn't have plates, silverware, or the ability to order any drinks or anything else. It was honestly the worst service I've had in a long time. Two stars and not one because the food was okay and the atmosphere is nice. The crab cakes were the best thing I tried.

Good food selection and drink options I went for local brewed beer (Kona Brewery is just around the corner) and for the burger. Nothing wrong there.. :) The hamburger was juicy and filling. Even fish tacos looked pretty good The service is attentive and relatively quick Due to the amazing location, poolside and being part of the Courtyard by Marriott Kamehameha's the prices aren't definitely cheap .. only negative point

A convenient food spot with amazing views at night! Big shout out to Lehua! She was an amazing server to us and was so kind and sweet. Made our night wonderful. Overall a huge bonus is the ambience of this place. At night it gives you an amazing atmosphere as you're right by the water and so close to the hotel if you're staying there. Food wise we did the Caesar salad which was really interesting because it stayed in a wedge. We also had the sampler which was pretty good! Calamari was so so but the crab cake and coconut shrimp made up for it! But yes overall, it was an amazing experience at night and if you're lucky you can hear and glimpse the luau nearby! Not totally amazing food to come back for but a great place to eat at for the location.

The Street Tacos and Cuban Sandwich and fries were cold when served. Two meals were served 10 minutes before the third, (only after we inquired about the missing meal) making the food even colder and less appealing. The chips and salsa were inedible - jarred salsa and stale chips. Our server was excellent and when we told her how disappointing the meal was, she sent the manager out to talk with us. The manager comped us $50 of our $101 bill, which was gracious. Even so, our lunch excursion was far from delicious.

The only reason for the 5 star for service is for Annie and Christie!!

It is a great place to eat and drink,nice views of the bay and mountains around. Prices are not for everyone's pocket but definitely worth the money. Waitresses are very keen and professional, I've been attended by Leah which has been OUTSTANDING ??MAHALO. I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK

Ok for bar quality food by a pool. We also ordered to eat in room when other spots close by were closed. Food was just ok. Staff was nice. Best thing we had was banana splits.

Grill was part of the Marriott Courtyard, poolside. Seems like the only gluten free item was a hamburger with a gluten free bun. We were hungry after snorkeling, so it was convenient and worked for us.

Way overpriced for the quality of food. Fish sandwich consisted of a large fish stick on a bun. Twenty dollars worth of boring.

This is the pool bar at the Courtyard King Hamehameha resort. First of all, Mike is an awesome bartender -- fun guy and knows his drinks. The happy hour specials are very affordable. I had the poke nachos (only $10!) and they were fantastic. I had a voucher for two complimentary Mai Tai cocktails, which were very good. Fun place and I probably would have been happy having dinner there.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp behind the pool deck and the bar is low enough that a wheelchair could roll up.

Great little restaurant! Loved the fish and chips! The poke nachos are also 10/10 and the wait staff is super friendly! The restaurant is poolside for the hotel and the view looks over the bay.
