Kona Inn Restaurant

$$-$$$$, American-Casual, Kailua-Kona

User Rating: **** 3.8

Fodor's Review:

This historic open-air restaurant offers some of the best, unobstructed ocean views on the island. It's a great place to have a mai tai and some appetizers while watching the sunset, or to enjoy a tasty calamari or ono sandwich and a salad at lunch. Dinner is also available, but for the prices there are better options once the sun disappears.

Good fish, ocean front, and professional service

Posted by MHG1 from Ann Arbor, MI on 3/14/08

The fish is fresh and very good. Service is very professional and quick. Setting is very nice being right on the ocean. Food is a bit pricey but it is an acceptable value given the other components. We tried just about all of the fish and all were winners.

Just Okay

Posted by Stephanie from Seattle on 6/7/06

We had dinner there during our honeymoon. Service was fine and food was okay. We ordered drinks - they don't have Jameson. For dinner, we ordered Filet Mignon and got some other slab of steak. Tasted like a college BBQ as they brought out A1 sauce. It's very laid back but don't expect too much.

One of my island favorites

Posted by Lori from Ohio on 4/24/06

Atmosphere and view is fabulous. Food is very good and the service was great. I wouldn't miss this one if I were you. It is the perfect way to begin or end an island vacation. Quite memorable!
