Trip Advisor - Kona Inn Restaurant

The Kona Inn Restaurant remains on the waterfront in the center of ancient Kona town, giving one of the most stunning restaurant locations in the world. The open-air setting with unimpeded views of Kona sunsets provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a romantic supper accompanied by the lovely sounds of waves crashing just in front of the restaurant. Seafood reigns supreme at the Kona Inn, where fresh seafood is brought in daily by local fishermen. The massive horseshoe-shaped all-Koa-wood bar is a world-famous drinking establishment known for serving the greatest Mai Tai in the Islands and the coldest beer on the Big Island. You haven't experienced a true Hawaiian experience unless you've been to the Kona Inn Restaurant. Go to the Kona Inn Restaurant for seafood classics, delicious mai tais, and always aloha. This renowned café, located in a historic Kailua-Kona hotel, takes you on a voyage into the past while filling you up on delicious cuisine and drinks. 

Visit the distinctive horseshoe-shaped bar before staying for a supper with a seaside view. Put Kona Inn Restaurant on your schedule if you want to travel back in time and experience the heritage of Old Kona Town while enjoying a fantastic gastronomic trip. This famous cafe, a mainstay of Old Kona Town, has proudly provided the Kailua-Kona community delicious cuisine, beverages, and entertainment since 1972. Originally, the inn operated as a popular lodging for fisherman, particularly all of the billfish competition organizers and participants. The inn evolved into a full-service restaurant, offering spectacular coastal views in a calm environment. The open-air patio is the obvious option due to its magnificent position, yet the internal area has its own appeal. Tropical decor, including wicker chairs, fills the room, and gigantic marlin sculptures adorn the walls. The massive horseshoe-shaped bar, on the other hand, acts as the focal point and is well worth sidling up to at least once. 

Whether you choose to eat indoors or on the terrace, you'll surely require reservations. Otherwise, you'll have to wait in the lobby for a table to open up. The breathtaking vistas sometimes keep guests at their seats long after they have finished their meals, so an hour or more of waiting is not uncommon. If you do wind up at a table, you'll be pleased you did. The staff bring a lot of aloha to everything they do, and the cuisine is amazing from the first to the final mouthful. Begin with beverages and an appetizer of your choosing for the full dining experience. Then, eat your choices while perusing the menu and appreciating the breathtaking vistas. Every item arrives at the table looking great and smelling even better. The vivid, strong tastes of your picks will definitely knock you over, leaving you wanting more. However, their food comes in large servings, so don't order too much.
