Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Kaupulehu

We were very pleasantly surprised by Hawai’i Calls in the Waikoloa Marriott. Great food, wonderful setting and life music when we were there on a Saturday evening.

Roy’s is continuing to work on their menu. New items that are delicious include the shrimp appetizer and the special of the evening which was a delicious steak with little fingerling potatoes made into potato chips. The Romain salad seemed particularly fresh and wonderful last night. The salmon is a favorite of mine and it also seem to be especially good. So nice to see they are keeping up the good work .

We were tired from touristing and arrived early for our reservation but they were able to seat us right away. Not on the patio sadly. I have no idea how you get a table there. Server was very good and attentive, and the food was great. We shared the spring rolls I had the ribs. Given it’s $32 for 6 and only $39 for 12, I went for the full rack so to have leftovers for tomorrow’s dinner (eating out in Hawaii is NOT cheap. We only go out ever 2-3 nights) My wife had the prawn spaghetti squash dish which also is a generous portion and had some leftovers No room for dessert. Fairly efficient, I think we were out of there in an hour.

Service was attentive and wonderful. The ambience is unbearable at sunset made better by the innovative menu. We will certainly come back for more celebrations on the Big Island!
