Holualoa Garden & Kitchen

"Beautiful place when you get in. We were told to sit wherever we liked, so we found a table for the 3 of us. Upon sitting down, we were told to move until the lady realized there was no table for 3 people. We ordered the turkey club and 2 burgers. We wanted a well-done burger and a medium burger, and our server said fine, no problems there. When we got the food and asked which is what, a different lady said that the burgers all come out the same. Very disappointing to hear that when we are paying $25 for a burger with barely any fries. If I wanted a burger which I have no say, we could have gone to McDonald's to save some money. We were not asked how the food was, no napkins, no condiments, nothing which was disappointing. Upon leaving, the entire staff was sitting at the bar laughing. High-quality atmosphere with low quality service, not worth the price or energy to go inside."

"Delicious meal with local ingredients. The coconut shrimp and catch of the day were very well prepared, and the spicy margarita was made with fresh-off-the-stalk peppers. The interior is nicely appointed and the view of the sunset was great. The cheesecake flight was made by a local baker. Staff were very engaging and friendly. Would definitely return!"

"This is THE SPOT on the west side of the island. Take the drive and go experience a meal like no other. We tried numerous restaurants along the water, to inland. Food was always "okay" This spot was just different, the vibe, the location, the hospitality and THE FOOD, it was just phenomenal. Kudos to the chef, he really takes price in his skill. Blew away every other location we ate at without a question. The place is new, but their staff really is great and works well together."

"This place just opened, so The wait staff is still learning. Everyone was so friendly and We had lovely conversations with the family that owns it. The atmosphere is perfection - we watched the sunset, heard live music, it lightly rained, then walked First Fridays afterwards. The burger was great! There was no Kid’s menu, but my kids happily found a grilled cheese and burger to eat. A perfect way to end our trip!"

"Amazing and gorgeous restaurant in an old & quant Hawaiian town! The spicy Lilikoi margarita is AMAZING! Shannon Staynor really made us feel welcome and offered fantastic service and cocktail options. We really enjoyed our visit and hope to visit again in the near future. Thank you!"
