Best Lunch Restaurants in Kawaihae

Beautiful beach view and great fish tacos! Pricy but in a resort

Made a reservation here for our final meal on the island. Was told by multiple people that this is the best place to eat on the island. As a vegan I really appreciated the knowledge and help of our server Howard to accommodate me. My non-vegan family really enjoyed their meals too. Overall it was awesome. Pretty pricey but glad we got to try it.

Love it! Always amazing! We’ve been many times. Always visit.

Best steak in Waikoloa. Definitely recommend anyone looking for a good steak restaurant. Service from Hunter was outstanding. He was not to be our server but a large table got seated right before us and could see the server was going to struggle and stepped in to make sure we got everything we needed and did fabulous. Started with shrimp cocktails and those were excellent. I had the Filet and my wife the lobster tails, both were excellently prepared. We will be coming back!

5 of us went for a tour and tasting. The entire experience was delightful and educating. The Brewery is located inside the Hapuna Golf Club - there is no signage so just trust me. Turn into the golf club parking lot and you’ll find your way. The staff is charming. You’ll get an initial Sake tasting and the Master Brewer will take you on a tour. Sake has a rich history on the islands and of course, Japan. The tour is very interesting, lasts about 25’. We did the 5 Sake tasting. The pours were generous, the glassware gorgeous and the each Sake was distinct and delicious. They don’t import to the mainland yet but when they do, I’ll be a customer. I also now know how to look for, order and properly drink Sake. It’s worth your time to make visit the Islander Sake Brewery.
