We held our Christmas get together for 16. Reservations were made beforehand. The wait staff & bartender were very pleasant and provided excellent service.
We shared appetizers of garlic edamame, calamari strips, and mushrooms – delicious!
Our entrees ranged from bacon wrapped scallops, Volcano shrimp, fried aholehole, Chinese steamed fish, NewYork steak, rib eye steak, miso Butterfield. Some of us had leftovers for another meal.
Desserts, of course, are always necessary – bread pudding, Jonathan coffee mud pie, apple pie, mac nut brownie mudslide. I got affogato – vanilla ice cream drenched with espresso (two of my favorite things.)
However there was an extremely long delay (about an hour) before we received our meals. Rather unusual considering our past experiences. Don’t know if there may have been a problem in the kitchen; or if there was just an extremely full house.
So, although I didn’t give 5 stars, I would still recommend going there. The food & waitstaff definitely make it worth your while. Perhaps don’t go during holiday periods, or not with a group larger than 10.

After living on the Big Island for 12 years, we finally made it in—and let’s just say we’re already planning our next visit. We arrived a bit early, so we started with drinks at the bar (excellent pours, by the way) before moving to our table, where the service was warm and attentive from start to finish.
We began with the escargot, which, honestly, is the best we’ve had on island: buttery, garlicky, and perfectly tender. We also shared a shrimp dynamite roll that was fresh, balanced, and made exactly as it should be—each bite delivering that satisfying crunch and spice without overpowering the delicate shrimp.
For our main, we split the 16-ounce cut prime rib, cooked to absolute perfection and served juicy and flavorful, with each bite reminding us why we love a classic done right.
It’s rare to find a spot that nails the food, service, price, and overall vibe all in one, but this place delivered. We’re already looking forward to coming back—and next time, we’ll be saving room for dessert.

My dad was dying for some seafood during our family vacation to Hawaii and we ended up at this restaurant for dinner on our last night. The restaurant itself is casual, yet elevated, but I found the space to be a bit dingy-feeling at night, especially since the string lights in the room we were in were not working. That being said, the food was excellent! My dad said it was his favorite meal of the trip! We ordered lilikoi margaritas, the oysters (and as people from Maryland, we know ALL about good oysters), Manila clams, Chinese style fish, volcano shrimp roll, prime rib, and vegetarian pasta. Very interesting and unique takes on some classic recipes. It’s a shame we were too full for dessert!

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.

Seafood is always done right! The host was really nice he told us the daily specials and some recommendations. We ordered the poke nachos and shrimp dynamite roll for starters and the blackened ahi and the New York steak & lobster for dinner. Everything tasted delicious and was cooked to perfection. It did take quite a while for our order to come out and it was a bit loud making it hard to converse. The restaurant is a bit dated but the view of the pond makes up for it.

I’ve been going to Seaside for special occasions for about as long as I can remember. And I’ve never been disappointed in any way. From the atmosphere to the views, the always friendly staff and don’t get me started on the food! The fried Aholehole is my personal favorite with butter noodles. But I’m a known plate pirate and my fork will attack. I’ve had a bite or two of just about everything on their menu over the years and can say you’d be safe just asking the server to bring you their favorite and sit back and wait for the surprise!
Forever Seaside loyal!

Our party of 4 was very pleased in every aspect of our dinner. Blackened ahi, Mac nut crusted ahi, volcano shrimp, poke nachos, raw oysters, and cocktails! Great service! Can’t wait to go again and try more flavors!

Classy restaurant, with lovely views of their pond, and Four Miles beach on the other side. Service from Tako for reservation on phone was extremely pleasant. When we arrived on 10/18/25, our server “Michelle” was sweet, patient, and attentive. Our dishes were incredible! We started with Kumamoto Oysters and Shishito peppers: EXCELLENT! I had Steak & Lobster, which was perfect. Husband had Chinese Style Ehu, and he loved it. The Black tables and chairs were comfortable and beautiful. Scenery is delicate, with lovely orchids inside. Entire vibe, which is one of tranquility, is priceless. Affordable too, so treat yourself to the best! Mahalo nui, Seaside Restaurant.
