- EellenVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBoth 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 yummyMore infoMeridiaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Kohala Coast•4.7
- TTracyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •46 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024Dining 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.More infoCopper Bar at Mauna KeaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Kohala Coast•4.4
- SSarahVIPAnchorage / Alaska •4 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024We’ve traveled all over the world to eat. This place could compete with any of the best places. The sake was extraordinary. Even the rice - the rice was the most delicate and silky rice I’ve ever had. If you miss this place, it’s on you. You’re not really living and you’re missing out on something very special. You owe it to your palette. The service was impeccable as well. Just go.More infoEngawa by Islander Sake BreweryPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Kohala Coast•4.9
- JJeannieVIPSan Diego •24 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 12, 2024Hotel 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.More infoManta at Mauna KeaPrice: Very Expensive• Pacific Rim• Kohala Coast•4.5
