Keei Café at Hokukano
Keei Café at Hokukano Review
This beautiful restaurant, perched above the highway just 15 minutes south of Kailua-Kona, serves delicious dinners with Brazilian, Asian, and European flavors highlighting fresh ingredients from local farmers. Favorites are the Brazilian seafood chowder or peanut-miso salad, followed by pasta primavera smothered with a basil-pesto sauce. There's an extensive wine list. Bob Miyashiro, the owner, is a Kona native, and his wife, Gina, is Brazilian. The husband-and-wife cooking team are also from Brazil, and have been with the restaurant since its humble beginnings at its previous location in Honaunau. Toast your friendly hosts with a refreshing mojito before dinner.

Keonaona, from california
1st off Listing of phone is changed s/b 808 322-9992. Beautiful inside w/art and wooded tables & floor. Wine list was quite the surprise with value and range. Special app, Ahi Katsu was to die for. Fresh fish is FRESH, sauces were light and flavorful on the chefs special fish. Desserts all home made, what a treat.

SkippyW, from NM
I liked this place for lunch. The breadpudding is to die for. Lunch is much cheaper $10-15 range and more relaxed. Dinner is a little snotty and much more expensive $20-$25.
I would recommend this place for lunch. the food is sooooo yummy!!! We ate here I think 3 times. Once for dinner, and twice for lunch. I love the wood ceilings!
