Description:
KOHALA COAST. Outdoor seating and terrific oceanside scenery set the stage at this Orchid treasure, whose extensive wine list and traditional Hawaiian cuisine have turned more than a few heads. Dine in a near-paradisical setting, highlighted by lush greenery, candle-lit tables, and an enchanting tropical lagoon. Dinner patrons are wowed by the menu's versatility, and choices range from seared crisp moi with basmati rice to a Kobe-style rib-eye with fingerling potatoes and ponzu dipping sauce. Exceptional nightly entertainment, plus an entrancing hula dancer, make for an unforgettable evening. During the day, pool, beach, and casual attire (with cover-ups) are suggested. For the evening, it's casual resort attire. |

Description:
KOHALA COAST. This restaurant's Pacific Rim-influenced menu boasts a wide range of scrumptious seafood options. Enjoy fresh-from-the-sea mahi mahi marinated in miso sake, savor lemon-pepper scallops grilled and served with wild mushrooms, or delight in flavorful nips of nori-wrapped ahi tempura and ginger-scallion tofu. The scene is equally delightful, and the rolling surf just a few yards away juxtaposes nicely with the large, outrigger canoe hanging over the enchanting outdoor dining area. |

Description:
KOHALA. The signature restaurant of the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel is known far and wide for its superb Hawaiian and Pacific Rim cuisine. While serious diners charge forth in pursuit of fresh seafood (Kona-by-way-of-New England lobster, farm-raised moi, and pistachio-crusted opah, to name but a few), the restaurant's oyster bar offers a more casual setting for folks looking to eat light and enjoy a few cocktails. From bluffside seating areas, diners take in enchanting sunsets in the early evening, not to mention sweeping views of waves crashing on Hapuna Beach far below. |

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. |

Description:
KAMUELA. On first glance, this place may not look like much, but as everybody knows, you can't judge a book by its cover. Big Islanders are fond of homestyle cooking, and it's done especially well at out-of-the-way places like Hawaiian Style Café. At breakfast, just try to finish their massive yet tender pancakes, especially if you've also ordered eggs or sausage. Lunch is similar, thanks to big portions of ribs, steaks, burgers and fries, macaroni salad, and rice – all at a refreshingly affordable price. |

Description:
KONA COAST. The Big Island's longest continually running luau and one of its chief "must dos," this traditional feast is held under the watchful eye of the Hualalai Volcano. Each celebration kicks off with the imu ceremony – the unearthing of the kiawe-flavored (mesquite) pig, which has been cooked and buried in sand a full day before the feast. From there, things only get better, and the buffet-style feast includes everything from lomi salmon and ahi poke to coconut pudding and sweet potatoes. After the feast, guests are treated to a Polynesian revue, which features hula dancing, Samoan fire knife dancers, and the Tahitian tamure. No trip to paradise would be complete without experiencing one of its most carefully preserved customs. |

The open-plan kitchen gives the place a cozy touch, and guests are torn between activity around the brick oven and golfers "holing out" on the resort's 18th green. Al fresco dining on the deck is also available. |

Description:
KOHALA COAST. Take a step back in time and experience Big Island living the way it was before modern resorts and development took over. Once a hotel and later a grocery, the building that houses this popular restaurant (which dates from 1911) has been almost completely restored to its original state and features a green saloon-like facade, bamboo and koa wood accents, and hardwood flooring. Featured dishes include Hawaii Thai or macadamia nut-crusted maki, sesame-nori crusted tiger prawns, and smoked Kalua pork and cabbage. A gallery inside the restaurant showcases local art, especially woodworking. |
