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:
KAMUELA. Specializing in gourmet Continental fare that ranges from wiener schnitzel and New Zealand rack of lamb to roast duck braised in orange sauce, Edelweiss has been a Big Island favorite since the late 1980s. The upscale but unpretentious setting features Bavarian-inspired decor – and, yes, that is a working fireplace. |

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:
KAMUELA. Despite a distinctly American-sounding moniker, Charley's has become a Big Island favorite for luscious, flavorful Thai fare. While there might not be a lot of attention given to ambience, the focus is clearly on the food, where authentic, fresh spices make hot dishes really hot! Servings are generous too, so you'll definitely get your fill of offerings like pad thai, pad see ew, and a variety of curries. Thai plate lunches are an added bonus. |

Description:
KONA COAST. Reservations are suggested for people wanting to sample the eclectic menu at this clubhouse eatery, where the fare ranges from Kona Coast lobster and mango-barbecue baby back ribs to Makalapua flowering onion, sesame-crusted snapper, organic rack of lamb, and lobster pizza. 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. |

The cafe is right across from the statue of King Kamehameha. |
