We ate at Brownâs one night during our stay at the Orchid. The food was excellent, especially the Compressed Watermelon Salad Roasted Beet Salad and the Beef Filet Mignon. The Coconut Guava Chiffon was embarrassingly bad. Dry with little flavor. It was at the top of their list so we were expecting something special. However, I can give this restaurant a good score because, as a whole, it exceeded our expectations for a restaurant in Hawaii with this kind of location. If they had a 3 or 4 course menu like many restaurants have in Europe and Japan where you have the opportunity to try several of their dishes instead of having to do a share option with your fellow diners it would be so much better. We dined after sunset, but I think most people would have a better time before or at sunset.Mahalo for joining us at Brown's Beach House! We are happy to see all you enjoyed during your dining experience and appreciate you sharing your honest feedback regarding your dessert selection and our menu options. As we are always looking for opportunities to grow and provide an exceptional dining experience for each guest, please know your comments will be shared with our Food and Beverage Department for review. We hope to welcome you again should your travels bring you back to Fairmont Orchid. Warmest aloha, Tara Harrington, Director of Guest Experience

Looking for a quick light evening meal. Their "Formaggio" large Pepperoni Pizza with red onion was very for size for 2 and excellent taste. Reasonably priced and excellent service.

We went to twice this past week to the Manta restaurant for dinner. It is the most romantic place on the Kohala coast. My husband has severe shellfish allergies and they were able to give good suggestions and prepare his food without cross-contamination. The staff was lovely and welcoming. The food cooked to perfection - generous portions (but not too large). As a bonus, we were able to see the manta rays swimming along the shore after dinner. Thanks for taking such good care of us once again.

We wanted a casual evening cocktails & dinner, only 3 miles from Mauna Kea BH, we decided on Seafood Bar & Grill. We arrived at 6pm, sat at the bar, although tables and outside veranda style seating were available, and we were waited on immediately. We started out with draft Heineken and a vodka martini while we reviewed the menu and specials. We decided on the island salad w/Cajun Opah which was huge & delicious plus an order of the cheese bread, and the lobster & crab pot pie which was AMAZING! On Tuesday evenings they have a Prime Rib special so we will return for that. They have a food & drink happy hour from 3-6pm & early-bird fish special at $30 from 5-6:30pm. The restaurant was packed until about 7pm. We ended with the mud pie & NY cheesecake w/strawberries. We were surprised at the quality seafood on the menu for the atmosphere which is a local bar/grill/tiki. Tons of workers and food was paced nicely. Our bill was $122 plus tip. (3 beers & 2 martinis). What a find!

Feed your soul nightly with live music and casual dining under the stars at Blue Dragon Tavern & Cosmic Musiquarium.
Reviewed By vinotour
We have enjoyed this place a couple of times while vacationing in Hawaii. It is a bit of a drive from the hotel district, but it's worth it. No fancy upscale stuffiness here. No parade of fashion. Just tasty menu options, creative drinks or just the basics. PLUS ...if you pick the right night, some excellent music and dancing if you are in the mood. Dress up or dress down, the Blue Dragon people are warm and welcoming.

I never order food when I come here, I always start with the beer sampler. Very good craft beer, not only the usual hoppy stuff either. I did have some of their Porter over a bowl of vanilla ice cream. (Not on menu). They close early, just like every other place on this island. Be careful, some of their beers are quite strong and can sneak up on you.

From boat to table this is the place to get the Big Islands Fresh Fish. Service was top notch in helping us select the right fish to take back to our place and grill. Price per pound can be a tad pricey, but you cant beat the quality.

We have dined at Merrimanâs on Maui and on Kauai, each different from the other. This Big Island location, the original, is different yet. Interesting starters of quesadilla and Israeli salad. The Parker Ranch steaks were amazing and beautifully prepared. Not usually a fan of mashed potatoes, I was pleased that mine were seasoned lightly with jalapeno. Cozy place, great menu and pleasant server.
