Expensive, but not terribly so. I had the Crab Cake appetizer (18) two with Tropical Relish & Remoulade, which were delicious. I then ordered the Meat Lovers Flatbread (18), which was very like a personal pizza, except it was very well appointed, with Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Ground Beef, Shaved Red Onions, Alii Mushrooms, & Tomato Sauce. It was filling enough as a meal, but other Entrees range from 21 to 25, with Mahi Mahi (30) and Sirloin Steak (35) dishes.
We had a beautiful all you can eat seafood buffet. Everything was incredibly delicious and fresh! Service was superb, and we couldn't have asked for a better setting at night. The restaurant overlooks a Cove where King Kamehameha used to rejuvenate and rest. It has great historical significance. A honor to dine there.
Myself and my partner had breakfast buffet a few times during our visits to Kona in May 2023 and 24. Staff are friendly and tentive, food is delicious, plenty of varity and good value for money. The location is supperb with great views out towards the beach and we loved it. We highly recommend Honu's on the beach for breakfast if your visiting Kona. A big thankyou to all the staff at Honu's from Steve and Jacque from Fife Scotland.
We had the seafood buffet which was fabulous. There was an entire room of appetizers including clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, salads, raw fish specialties and crab legs. Everything we tried was excellent especially the crab legs. The main course offerings were prime rib, tempura shrimp and zucchini, and a pasta station where you choose your own ingredients and they cook them for you adding either Alfredo or marinara sauce at the end. All of the entrées were delicious. Yes we tried them all! Service was also excellent. Although this was a buffet all selections were plated by the staff who were numerous so that there was no waiting in line. Afterwards there was a dessert bar also excellent. And live music too.
Food is amazingly delicious I ate my dinner in the open air restaurant and bar looking over the grounds and beach. Very nice comfortable atmosphere, service 5 star. Friendly and relaxed as you are .) Not cheap, but then your in Kona, staying at the Marriott lol I enjoyed the food tremendously, the dinning experience and service interactions were genuine and fun
Dinner and breakfast here on a quick trip - Super happy and attentive staff! Nice live musician during dinner. Had a sunrise view over Mauna Kea during breakfast.
Superb food, great service. Good prices for the Island, view of the beach from your table. Connected to the hotel Marriott courtyard. We were there a few times during our stay and each time was really a pleasure. Handicapped accessible.
