Distance: ~8.39 mi from The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii
Description: KAMUELA. A native of Lorraine, France, Daniel Thiebaut brings to the Big Island distinct French flair and dazzles patrons with his propensity for adding Asian or Polynesian culinary touches. The restaurant, located in the historic Chock In Store building (circa 1900), is set in verdant Waimea ranch country and is a favorite with romantics, who adore its antiques, local curiosities, uniquely appointed tables, and multi-hued Sig Zane fabrics (a must for any Hawaiian restaurant worth its salt). Featured dishes include crab cakes with corn and lemongrass-coconut lobster sauce, Hunan-style rack of lamb with eggplant compote, and wok-fried scallops with Asian-style risotto and coconut dressing.

Though we had reservations and asked for a "quiet corner" we were seated across from a meeting room doorway. There was a rather noisy gathering in the meeting room, thus our dinner was certainly not quiet. In hindsight we should have asked to be moved as the restaurant was not busy. Our waitress was an airhead; our drinks took forever ... receiving our wine with dessert. Our appetizers and salads were average, the entrees good. The chocolate macadamia tort was inedible; the crust could not be cut with the edge of a fork. It tasted as though it had been in the walk in for quite a while. Overall, I don't think we will return. The food/ value/ ambiance equation doesn't add up for us even though we live close by.
