Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Kohala Coast

We travel to Hawaii every year from the East Coast, and always look forward to dinner at Merriman’s. We love the farm to table concept, as it supports the local farmers, and the pictures on the walls celebrate the collaboration with the local farmers. During our most recent visit, my husband and I shared the Spicy Kona Lobster Ravioli as a starter. It does have a bit of a kick; add a couple more ravioli to the dish, and it could be an entree. The Catch of the Day was MahiMahi under a phyllo dough, in a delicious sauce, accompanied by two jumbo shrimp. The Hillbilly Cornbread was also a nice addition to the meal. We still had some room for dessert, so we shared the Pineapple Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding, in a Butter Rum sauce with house made vanilla ice cream. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is not rushed. The staff is pleasant and attentive. We look forward to a return trip.

The true measure of a restaurant is how they perform under pressure. Dinner at a packed Fish Hopper for Valentine’s Day brought the four of us a five star experience. Delicious food, memorable ambiance and ultra friendly and professional service. Highly recommended.

As Always, Tommy Bahamas wonderful place by Fantastic Management of Johnny and Jason. Staff super Friendly and to make it extra special on Valentines Day we meet the famous Sam Choy restauranteur along with TV Host /John Veneri. Food always well prepared and tasty. Mahalos - Noriko and Dave
