A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
I was told this was an excellent place to watch a sunset while drinking a pina colada. I would have to say this is very true (although our sunset had some clouds covering it).
I ordered a banana lava flow and a mango lava flow (a lava flow is basically a flavored pina colada). Both were good, but the mango one was less sweet, so I thought it tasted the best.
The food at this place is meh. The coconut breaded shrimp was not that good. The poke chips were ok.
Went to this outside bar for the food primarily, and then for the food.
For food, got the spicy poke on nachos. The nachos was a wonton based chip, and I thought it was a really good combo. However, the chips are a bit greasy, so didn’t finish the whole things. For drinks, got a mai tai, which I thought was good too.
Update: on 11/27/2020, went to this place again for lunch (as most places are closed for the Thanksgiving). Ordered the mai tai and lava flow. Both great drinks that got me really buzzed after drinking both. I also ordered the pulled pork nachos, which I would say are ok, but not the best.
We went to this place originally to grab a bite, but instead just had a drink because we wanted to pivot to somewhere else.
I grabbed a pina colada, and yea, definitely up to my standards.
This place is right in the heart of town in Holualoa, with a really great view.
I got the Mai Tai for a drink (which is pretty good after you stir the drink since it is layered).
For the main course, I had a very Hawaiian omelet, which was a pulled pork omelet with sausage and potatoes. It was really good (I finished most of it).
We came to this place after a day of snowboarding.
For the most part, everything was great here except for one thing.
To start, it got the pornstar martini (peach based drink with a shot of champagne you pour in). This drink was great. Also got a lemon drop.
For appetizers, I got the wings (wings were good, but we had to ask for more sauce. Got the BBQ and something mustard). Also got the poutine (gravy was interesting, but still liked it).
For the main, I got the chicken fingers off the kids menu. I didn’t like them. They were not crispy enough (which is saying something coming from me), and something about them seemed too bland.
So this place is a sorta upscale bar and restaurant.
Cocktails here were pretty good (got a lychee drink, old fashioned and some random lunch, all of which were great).
We also got salute and pepper chicken wings, prawns and pork sliders. All were really good.
We ended up going to this place for dinner on our way to Reno (for burning man).
Gotta day, this place was pretty terrible. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and it was extremely salty. Also, the old fashion was meh.
So, not going back here again.
We came here for burgers and drinks.
I wasn’t too Hungary, so I just had the cheese fries and wings, plus and old fashion (for happy hour, it was not bad).
Next time I go back I’ll try a burger.
We went to this place for a quick drink. I gotta say, this place was pretty bad in terms of drinks. I got a mojito, and it tasted water downed, to the point I could not taste either alcohol or the flavor. The quesedilla on the other hand was ok. However, not coming back here again.l (although I will say the chips and salsa were actually good also).
We went to this Japanese restaurant mainly for drinks. The view is absolutely amazing, and the service was pretty good. Our server even let us play our own music with the speaker we brought.
I got an old fashion, which was ok. Next time I do want to try the food.
