Best Casual Restaurants in Kailua-Kona

We had reservation on Christmas Day for dinner. They were one of the only restaurants in the area open and they were BUSY! We arrived early for our reservation and ended up just sitting at the bar since there was open seating. The bartenders were great! It was fun watching drinks being made for the whole restaurant. Our food came out timely and everything was perfect. We even shared the crème brûlée to top off the evening. We really appreciated how hard the whole staff was working on a holiday to make everyone feel welcome and special. Highly recommended!!

Dinner on Christmas day was no excepción. The Beef Wellington was cooked to perfection, as everything else. Jacob always provides us with exceptional service. Even on Christmas the entire staff was friendly, and happy to make our dining experience wonderful. A special thank you to Jorden and Chef Chris, the owners.

All the food we had was great. I tried the clam chowder and added the Dungeness crab and it was very good. Staff was very attentive to our needs. We had an ocean side table where it added to the overall experience.

We were a huge group and our servers could not have been more helpful and patient with us. They did a great job of getting the food and drinks out in a timely manner. Everyone had a good time. The two little kids in our group loved the noodles and chicken nuggets. I heard positive words about the fish tacos and fish and chips. I liked the spinach salad with grilled chicken.

Server was awesome. We ordered a bunch of apps which all were amazing. Originally thought the restaurant was where the old Rays on the Bay was, but instead was in the middle court area on the lower level.
