Thanks.

We went to the Hau Tree Lanai restaurant at the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel last year and enjoyed it. It is right at the beach but slightly away from the main tourist area.

P.S. Sorry, I just realised that it was on Oahu we went to this restaurant.

Hilo: Cafe Pesto

You will not be sorry. It's a local joint

Nori's in Hilo (Japanese)

Manago Inn/pork chops (near Captain Cook/Kona side)

Check out Elua's Facebook page. Dave lives in Hilo and has found some ono grindz.

I wasn't impressed by the Malasadas place along the Hamakua Drive (Jacks? Teds?)

Two Ladies Kitchen for Mochi

Definitely Cafe Pesto! Always love the seafood risotto!!!

Also up there in Kawaihae is The Seafood Bar & Grill. The one thing I always remember from there was the spicy edamame appetizer.

Go up to Kamuela/Waimea for a high-end dinner at Merriman's. Yep, it's expensive, but it was soooo good.

When we stayed at the Marriott Waikoloa last year we loved the Lava, Lava Beach Club just down the beach. Cherie

Are you staying on the Hilo side or Kona side?

 

Kona side:

Our 2 favourite restaurants restaurants

Sam Choy's Kai Lanai http://www.samchoys.com. Try fish trio, sit at fire pits outside on Wednesday night. Watch POA leave for Kauai.

Splashers try panko breaded fish and chips http://www.splashersgrillkona.com

 

Hilo side: Ken's House of Pancakes. Local flavour

 

I have much more BI information email me at Miloliihalehonu@yahoo.com if you would like to get a copy

 

Aloha

One other suggestion is Hawaiian Style Café located in Hilo and Waimea. HUGE breakfast and great local food. Open for breakfast and lunch.

What about for a romantic anniversary dinner?

Kamuela Provision company at the Hilton if you are up on the Kohala Coast. Sam Choy's Kai Lanai if you are in Kona.

We didn't eat ashore much on the Big Island, but I'd suggest taking the tour and having a meal at the Kona Brewing Company (http://konabrewingco.com/) - the food was really good and I will never be able to order a Hawaiian Pizza on the mainland again. They ruined me. :D
