“I've been to big island so many times, but I never knew this place existed! We were looking for a beach side dinner to celebrate my birthday. And we heard our favorite server from Mauna Lani moved to Naupaka so we had to check it out. Rhell was attentive and is entertaining as usual. And he made the recommendations that inspired tonight's dinner. Aside from the beautiful sunset and sounds of the waves, the meal was absolutely amazing. Calamari was crispy and plentiful. I loved the light airy breading and it wasn't oily. The fall off the bone tender ribs were so delicious. Classic bbq ribs tray with pineapple coleslaw. A nice touch I must say. But my favorite part of dinner was the pan roasted chicken. The broccolini and carrots were well roasted and seasoned. The buttery soft whipped potatoes were delicious clouds. But the chicken and the au jus were sensational. I wasn't even that hungry, but the portions were nice. And they brought out a complimentary dessert and song for my special day. I feel so special! Directions: Head to Hapuna Beach Hotel, throw the shaka at the security guard at the entrance, and proceed under the highway bridge. There's self parking and valet parking. Make your way down to the pool and it's next to their resort pool.“
“Solid, if not spectacular, spot for local seafood meal. The spearfish Hawaiian style was flavorful, even if portion was a bit small. Seafood fried rice had nice variety and delicious. Coconut shrimp pupu a bit overdone but nice coconut dipping sauce.Parking: Easiest place to park is on top level in the back, since you enter on second story of establishment.“
