Brown's Beach House

Fairmont Orchid's AAA Four Diamond Brown's Beach House restaurant is well known for incomparable Hawaii Regional Cuisine and a spectacular oceanfront setting. Our innovative cuisine draws from simple pure flavors of locally grown produce and a diverse var

We ate at Brown’s 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

Gramma's Kitchen

Reviewed By Notlaw008

Promises homemade cooking with the emphasis on Granmas cooking. The only thing is it's not. It's frozen chips, frozen breadcrumbed fish. Very disappointing, that said there is very little else in town if you want to eat. Very good service albeit disappointing food.

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.

Island Lava Java

Reviewed By Karen M

My husband and I stopped here with friends for breakfast before a big day of sightseeing. We ate upstairs, open-air with a view onto the ocean and warm breezes. Most of us had the Big Island Basics breakfast and one had the Belgian Waffle. We all enjoyed our meal, plentiful servings! My husband did not care for the Portuguese sausage but I had plenty of bacon to share. Coffee was very good. Our service was friendly and prices reasonable. If you eat here, do note that the restrooms are upstairs, as we found at most multi-level restaurants we visited. I don't know if there was an elevator.

The Seafood Bar & Grill

Reviewed By NaplesDayna

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!

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.

Hawaiian Style Cafe

Reviewed By James S

Expect a little wait but worth it. Also expect to take some home. Great cheery service. Decided to try this on our way to several excellent farmer's markets in the area. A local recommended it. Meals are served on oval turkey platters. I like crispy bacon and theirs is deep fried so it is definitely crispy. As you can see from pictures portions are huge. I had the 2 eggs, corned beef hash, and french toast. The hash was served thin and crispy - very good but after seeing the kailua pork hash over fried rice that would be my recommendation. The french toast is a sweet bread but just standard stuff. They didn't leave it in the egg long enough to soak into the bread. Over medium eggs were perfect. I tried the hash browns- also large helping. The real surprise is their side of pancakes that comes with most egg meals. the serve 2 on these large oval platters. Nice and fluffy. The menu includes loco mocos and an assortment of meats like portuguese sausage and blood sausage. The menu was large enough to get you back for several different breakfasts and lunches.

Reviewed By TravelGolfer

We have dined at Merriman’s 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.
