Quiet guitar music, tables set along a breezy lanai, and a sweeping view of the Kohala-Kona coastline are the perfect accompaniments to the elegant yet down-to-earth Hawaii regional cuisine. Popular are the bouillabaisse with nori crostini and the Parker Ranch rib-eye steak with green peppercorn sauce. This is a great place to sip cocktails -- the adjacent Wine Bar makes for a romantic evening in itself, with an appetizer menu and more than 40 labels available by the glass.

The best service we had on the entire island. We actually ate here twice.
You have to get there at 5:30 p.m. when it opens if you want a patio table--the patio is oceanfront and gorgeous and lit by Hawaiian torches at night. Live Hawaiian music is also played.
On one night, we were too late to get seated at the patio and sat at the bar heartsick that we were missing the sunset--Lance saw us and moved two chairs to the patio for us so we could see the sunset and wait there for our table.
Food is great (fish dishes need a little more salt, but still wonderful.)
