- GGeorgeVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •15 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoNaupaka is the informal beachside/poolside restaurant at the Westin. It is a wonderful place to watch the Hawaiian sunset. My wife and I have eaten there twice. She raves about the salad. I had a great catch of the day and a very good cheeseburger. This is a fun, convenient alternative to the fancier restaurants at Westin and Mauna Kea.More infoNaupakaPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Kawaihae•4.5
- JJohnVIPDenver / Colorado •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a 5-star experience at Meredia! We were celebrating both Valentine’s Day and our wedding anniversary. Amazing view of the sunset made for the perfect romantic backdrop. Indiana was our server and her upbeat personality definitely delivered the aloha. We followed her food recommendations, which were tailored to our gluten-free dietary needs, and enjoyed a wonderful meal featuring scallops for my wife and paella for me. Afterwards we shared an absolutely fantastic cheesecake for dessert. Five stars across the board- highly recommended!More infoMeridiaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Kohala Coast•4.6
- CClaireHawaii •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoDue to the ongoing remodeling of the hotel, there were areas blocked off and the toilet was a trailer. The menu was not what we hoped for on Valentine’s Day… It was more of a lunch menu. Not the relaxed atmosphere or food we’re used to from the Hau Tree. Would not have booked that night had I known.More infoHau Tree at Mauna KeaPrice: Moderate• American• Kohala Coast•4.3
- GGeorgeVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •15 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMy wife and I had a very nice dinner at The Copper Bar. Her Mahi was better than my Butterfish. The view is dramatic because of the high ceilings. The waitress did a good job, but had a lot of tables to manage. The singer and hula dancer were excellent. Although we think Meridian and Manta are superior, we certainly had a nice time.More infoCopper Bar at Mauna KeaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Kohala Coast•4.5
- PPhilipVIPNew Jersey •325 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBeautiful open aired covered and uncovered dining areas with beautiful ocean and sunset views. My sweet curry shrimp appetizer and macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi were excellent. Service was courteous and attentive. Live entertainment (piano and saxaphone) was very nice background music. Expensive--$190 for one person.More infoManta at Mauna KeaPrice: Very Expensive• Pacific Rim• Kohala Coast•4.5
