Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Our Restaurants
Five unique dining experiences, all on the Big Island.
Jackie Rey's Ohana Grill
Fine Dining with Hawaiian Hospitality
A Kona family favorite since November 2004. Chef Jeric Genavia leads the kitchen after working his way up from dishwasher over six-plus years, building a Pacific Rim menu anchored by the legendary Mochiko Crusted Fresh Catch, a 34-ounce Tomahawk Ribeye, Seafood Trio, and the JRey's '44 Mai Tai. Come as you are, five-star aloha either way.

Kona Inn Restaurant
Waterfront Dining Since 1928
Part of the original 1928 Kona Inn, designed by Charles Dickey and once a celebrity hideaway for Duke Kahanamoku, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Shah of Iran. 8,000 square feet of open-air oceanfront dining on Kailua Bay, anchored by a mammoth horseshoe all-Koa bar, taxidermied trophy marlin, the Tuna Stack, Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi-Mahi, and Mai Tais widely called the best on the island.

Kona Canoe Club
Oceanfront Since 1972
A Kailua Bay classic that locals have claimed as their own since 1972, parked right on Ali'i Drive above the shoreline. The menu reads like a love letter to the island: fourteen burgers, fresh catch off local boats, calamari strips, chicken salad served in a half papaya, and the New England clam chowder everyone argues is the best on the west side. Open-air seating, daily happy hour from two to five, and a sunset that closes the show every night.
