Fodor's Review:

This waterfront wonder is well worth the splurge—the menu is inventive (but not too inventive), and the wine list is excellent. Though you can order steak here, the seafood is really where it's happening. Their crab-crusted ono is a little piece of heaven, sitting on clouds of wasabi mashed potatoes. Leave room for dessert; the sweets change regularly, but they're always worth the indulgence. Local musicians play nightly on the grassy knoll outside.

My husband and I were married on the Big Island and held our wedding dinner at Brown's. It was truly a special night. We now have a vacation home on the Kohala Coast, and always plan a sunset dinner at Brown's when we are visiting.

My husband and I had dinner on January 31, 2007. I was a little skeptical based on the previous revues in this section but we LOVED it. The restaurant sits right on the water - it must be a gorgeous view during the day. The service was informative and attentive. We went specifically because I wanted the crab crusted Ono - this is now made with another fish (which name escapes me at the moment). I had the tuna and my husband the steak - both were very good. The chocolate cake is to die for!
