Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Kawaihae

Above and beyond service, and outstanding food. The ambiance is the true embodiment of everything you consider Hawaii.

We absolutely love this restaurant every time! Today we had the warm goat cheese appetizer, a crab avocado salad and a Mac nut crusted mahi mahi. Everything was absolute perfection, and we ended the birthday fun with a table sized piña colada cake. The cake is moist and delicious, and the pineapple just tumbles out of it when you eat it. Another fabulous birthday meal! Mahalo Nui Loa to Jason and his always attentive team of servers and talented chefs.

Both food and service were amazing. I was stuffed but the scallops were so delicious I a finished them anyway. Mahi mahi skewers were equally delicious. Indiana was our server and terrific. Would return in an instant. The bread they included at no charge which is rare these days was a treat, served warm and yummy

Dining at Copper Bar may have been our favorite dining experience on the Big Island! The setting was outstanding with the sunsetting and snorkeled heading out to see the manta rays. The service was outstanding. Our server was warm, knowledgeable, attentive. We loved the music and the beautiful, talented hula dancer made it extra special.

Hotel is under construction, but don't let that stop you from having a fabulous meal with a great view. The entire staff is impeccable, from check in person to bartender to server to the bus boy. If you are in the area or want to take a drive north from Kona, we highly recommend this establishment. First Class Award goes to this great property.
