For starters, the lady at the front desk was super nice to both my wife and I. It was my wife’s birthday so we wasted no time and started with drinks (drinks hit the spot). The food was magnificent, the ambience was perfect especially for both me and wife being that we haven’t had a date night in quite a while. Everything was perfect and couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Ka’ana Kitchen staff!

About the restaurant

***TEMPORARILY NOT TAKING RESERVATIONS***
PLEASE COME WALK IN AND WE WILL SET YOUR PARTY UP WITH A BEAUTIFUL TABLE!

Situated where it's always been: on the waterfront in the heart of old Kona town, offering one of the most beautiful restaurant settings in the world. The open air environment with unobstructed views of the Kona sunsets offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a romantic dinner accompanied by the wonderful sounds of waves breaking right in front of the restaurant.

Seafood is King at the Kona Inn where the fresh fish are brought in daily by the local fisherman. The mammoth horseshoe-shaped all-Koa-wood bar is a world-famous watering hole that serves the best Mai Tai in the Isands and the coldest beer on the Big Island. You have not truly had an Hawaiian experience until you've visited the Kona Inn Restaurant.

We had an early 5pm Christmas Eve seating. The restaurant wasn't very crowded. The staff was very attentive. It's a lovely setting facing the ocean off of Kailua Bay, and we watched the sun set. The meals were delicious. I had the stuffed Ono with a lobster cream cheese sauce and Cajun spices. It was excellent! My husband had his usual fish and chips, also very good. We started with the chowder soup for my husband. I had a very large green salad with the house made thousand island dressing. Again, both were very good.
