- MMonicaToronto / Ontario •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe walked into the reception area and was first greeted with the sound of live piano music, followed by a warm greeting from the hostess. Our reservation was timed perfectly for sunset. Rebecca was our server and she was both professional and friendly. Everything we ordered was not just delicious but interesting and used locally sourced ingredients. We had a great experience and look forward to returning in the very near future.More infoMeridiaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Kohala Coast•4.6
- JJohnVIPVancouver / British Columbia •190 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAn absolutely fabulous dinner experience to celebrate Terri’s birthday. Beautiful waterfront table and glorious red sunset (due to vog). Our server Briana made our evening extra special by introducing daily specials, providing exemplary service and always with a smile. We enjoyed the shrimp and kale salad appetizers daily fresh catch chef’s special red snapper (prepared perfectly delicious ) and macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi paired with the best of wines. Also wanted to say special thanks to our buser Jason who almost invisibly kept us well hydrated and removed dishes at just the right time. Manta, you never cease to amaze us. We will be back.More infoManta at Mauna KeaPrice: Very Expensive• Pacific Rim• Kohala Coast•4.5

- RrichardWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024One of a kind Christmas holiday experience. Very exclusive and one of a kind. The four courses were all designed to pair well with well with sake. The optional sake pairing was super interesting. I was surprised by how different these sakes were, though maybe that has to do with the host making suitable choices for my western tastebuds. Took a bottle of "Anna" home. It was well sealed and packed in bubble wrap, and arrived well as checked luggage (can't take this onboard).More infoEngawa by Islander Sake BreweryPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Kohala Coast•4.8
