- PPatrickPhoenix / Arizona •8 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoParking a little rough, only a dozen spots behind the place. Had to luckily run into a free paid lot about a block away behind the establishment after dropping off the party - on the next street. Asked for a booth on OpenTable but when arrived, got placed in a back area booth. Two booths then opened up right after seating, and I politely asked, but refused to move us. Food was pretty good.More infoFish Hopper - Kailua-KonaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Kailua-Kona•4.5

- SSteveHawaii •2 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 5, 2025Our meal was Sensational for our date night!! Only one minor problem, our dessert had bananas in it and they were as hard as brick bats. When I told our waiter the kitchen denied it and that was a big laugh to the staff. Please make sure the chef is using ripe bananas… these desserts are not cheep.More infoKenichi PacificPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Kailua-Kona•4.2
