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 COAST. Restauranteur Roy Yamaguchi has garnered quite a reputation for himself, both in the Paradise State and on the mainland, and it's little wonder. Specializing in Pacific Rim cuisine, the Kohala Coast edition of his culinary empire dazzles diners with Szechuan-style baby back ribs, a kiawe-grilled rib-eye, and curry seared ahi tuna. Despite the shopping center locale, the restaurant offers an upscale scene that tends to get noisy during peak hours. The best tables offer clears views of either an adjacent golf course or a nearby lake. |

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:
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. |

Description:
KONA COAST. Sushi and fusion cuisine – presented in an elegant, relaxed setting – don't get any better than this. Of course, only the freshest seafood is used, so the sushi is impeccable. Even so, the wide-ranging menu includes such an intriguing array of Japanese-inspired dishes that you may not get around to sushi. Starters include crab cakes, lobster rolls, and broiled black cod. Entrees range from seared ono with mashed yams to roasted duck with orange hoisin sauce and lamb in a macadamia nut crust. The molten flourless chocolate cake is achieving legendary status, so save room for it. Kenichi Pacific is small, making reservations essential. |
