Lunch in Kona

Open daily for lunch on Honokohau Harbor. Fresh local fish, island plates and the coldest schooner in Kona.

We keep the schooners in the freezer. It matters more than it should.

The kitchen runs straight through from open to close, so there is no dead hour in the afternoon. Most tables start with the fish and chips.

Open air, over the slips, watching boats unload the morning catch. No dress code, and there never has been.
