The Seaside Restaurant and Aqua Farm 1790 Kalanianaole Street, Hilo, HI 96720

"Very nice view of the water. Our waitress Sam was very good, making sure that we were taking care of and explained the menu items very well. The Ono and scallops are outstanding. The wasabi cream sauce was unlike any other I’ve ever tasted. Save room for dessert, and or after dinner drink because they are top-notch. Thank you"

"This popular local restaurant is worth considering for dinner, but ensure they have an available table or make a reservation in advance. Despite high expectations from reviews, our dining experience wasn't particularly special. Waiting over 50 minutes for our sushi roll and a mix-up in cooking the fish extended our wait time to over an hour. The Spicy Ahi Bombs were flavorful, the Seaside Roll was okay but had a specific taste we didn't favor, and the Fresh Catch of the day (Ono with linguine) was well-cooked but lacked a distinctive flair."

"We had a great time and wonderful food. Started with calamari then we all ended up getting the mac nut encrusted mahi. For desert we had the bread pudding it was very good."

"Enjoyed a delicious meal of fresh fish overlooking actual fish ponds. Service was excellent. Nathan was very attentive. Everything we ordered was perfect. Especially liked the homemade bread pudding with vanilla ice cream for dessert."
