- IIvyLas Vegas •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMade 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.More infoMerriman's – Waimea – Big IslandPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Kamuela•4.9
- LLisaMarieVIPHawaii •49 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a late lunch for my husband’s birthday. Everything was stellar, yet again! I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Put simply, the food is phenomenal, the service is too. We drive over an hour and a half, to come here for all our special occasions. Today we had the Warm Goat and Macadamia nut appetizer followed by Crab and Avocado salad (my favorite) and Shrimp and Crab Cajun pasta. Both excellent. Followed by the house made Piña Colada cake- which is a dreamy concoction of white chocolate mouse , coconut and pineapple chunks that tumble out of the cake. Thanks again for another great birthday!More infoTommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar - Mauna Lani, Big IslandPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Kamuela•4.7
- TTerryVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •13 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI found out they have a relatively new chef. I noticed the menu was more asian oriented which for my taste is great. Compared to around a year ago, everything was so much better. My family said they would all like to come back.More infoCanoeHousePrice: Very Expensive• Creative Japanese• Kamuela•4.7
- FFrankSan Francisco Bay Area •34 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBrowns Beach House is the perfect location to celebrate any special occasion The ocean and sunset views are perfect and the outdoor seating allows views from every table. We had fish and steak- both were great. They also have creative starters and salads. The service from Chelsi and Jermaine was exceptional. There was live music both nights and that added to the wonderful ambience. We will be back.More infoBrown's Beach House - The Fairmont Orchid - Kohala CoastPrice: Very Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Kohala Coast•4.6

Discover Kamuela
Kamuela, Hawaii, also known as the city of Waimea, is the “paniolo” center of the Hawaiian Islands. One local delicacy is huli huli chicken, which is a barbecued teriyaki chicken. Served with a side of Hawaiian purple sweet potatoes and Hawaiian baked beans (with pineapple chunks in it, of course), this dish incorporates both the fresh flavors of native Hawaiian culture and the smoky flavors of the South. Finish off this meal with some delish haupia, a delicious local pineapple coconut pudding, for dessert. If you miss the flavors of the mainland, there are a number of restaurants that offer burgers, pasta, and other treats. Hawaiian fusion also offers a lot of opportunities to try global foods with island flair.
