Big Island Restaurants

Fish Hopper

Fish Hopper Review

The Hawaii location of the popular Monterey, California, restaurant has an expansive menu, with inventive fresh-fish specials alongside the fish-and-chips and clam chowder that the original restaurant is known for. The owners spent serious time and money renovating the old and funky Ocean View Inn, and the restaurant itself is lovely—lots of koa wood, Hawaiian art, and an open-air floor plan that takes advantage of the Kailua Bay view. The food is decent, but may not feel worth the price. The wine list is comprehensive, and there are frequent bottle specials, so a money-saving option is to come for wine and appetizers with a view. Ask your greeter for a card that will get you a free appetizer or small discount off your meal.

    I'm a local person and don't mind spending big dollars at the wonderful resort restaurants. The Fish Hopper was recommended highly by two friends and my wife and I have gone twice -- both times the food and ambiance was mediocre to OK.
