What our guests are saying
Easy the largest beer selection on the island that we found. Great service and you can watch your food prepared. The meatball sub is seriously good. Top quality. Dont skip it. Spaghetti bolognese also very good. It was even great the next day.

Our favorite spot for a drink when we visited Kona. Great vibe, amazing view. Food was delicious. Especially pizza with pesto, shrimp, mushrooms and onion. One of the best we have ever. Lots of draft beer. Staff friendly, they shared what is good to see on the Island. Must go when in Kona. Great place to just grab a drink or for romantic night.

Place is legit. I love this pizza not the best I’ve ever had but it’s top 5! The crust though is the best I’ve ever had. Third time here still love my experience! Jessica was the best server tonight!
