Stopped by for a quick snack and had an oyster appy with pork laulau.I’m not from an oceanside place and the oysters blew me away. So juicy and plump and fresh. The laulau was cooked really tender, I don’t have any reference to comment on the flavour, but it was nice.Atmosphere was okay, felt a bit like a cantina.

Pricey option, but great for eating fish and all the ways you can find it here. The poke options are a stand out. The hottie and sweetie balance nicely but the spicy could be spicier. Try a sampler plate if you can to explore their flavors. Be sure to ask about the prices on market priced options before ordering because prices are subject to change daily. The drinks are strong but equally pricey. You can put your name down for a table and go explore the nearby area while you wait. You might be seated at a group table which seated about ten people but will get you seated faster.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options available

Some of the BEST food I’ve had in Kona. Ahi was extremely fresh. Our server Payton was accommodating and polite. Highly recommended.

I had the poke of the day, which was ginger cilantro, and it was amazing, as was the seaweed salad and the rice it comes with. The cocktails were also really good. Other people had the fish tacos and the next level Lau Lau, and you can't really go wrong with anything in the menu.Kid-friendliness: Our toddler devoured the nuggets and fries. And they brought them out at a cool, edible temperature. I don't know if they meant to do that, but it was appreciated!

Atmosphere was cool.. waiter was arrogant.. made us feel grateful he was serving us. Food was horrendous. Both the tuna( ahi) and the crab did not seem like the real one.. cran was definitely imitation crab.. I think people who recommend these places have a deal with this eatery on commissions. However I hope this review save some people from being cheated

The poke was not anywhere close to the best of the island or other Hawaii islands. Maybe had a off day. Did not find the fish quality to be great or the flavor of the sauces.

The poke bowl, short ribs, and lau lau plate were all delicious. We got tips on where to go for music, and they have a convenient self-service quick wait list system. We sat outside on the west edge of the lanai and dealt with flies buzzing about our food. The spicy tequila-rita was watered down. We'd go back again for sure.
