Had a wonderful dinner at Copper Bar tonight! The service was truly impeccable. Both our male and female servers were so attentive and kept checking in to make sure everything was great, I just wish I had gotten their names. The host was also fantastic and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. As i’ve mentioned in my past reviews, I really value great service even more than the food. That said, both the food and service were excellent. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful sunset, beach and ocean views at Manua Kea resort with good food, service and local live music. Fresh seafood dishes along with vegan and land dishes, especially love the KFC (Korean Fried Cauliflower), which has incredibly light breading. Visit every time we are in the area. The wine list is good, but corkage is also available, currently $45.

The atmosphere was beautiful and the food was decent, so I really wanted to like this place. However, It felt like the staff member not very welcoming toward us as Asian guests. It wasn’t a language issue — we do speak English — but the restaurant was quite noisy, and we simply couldn’t hear what he said, he seemed irritated and walked away to call another staff member, which felt uncomfortable and unnecessary.
We came mainly to see manta rays, but unfortunately none appeared that day.

This was our favorite spot during our stay at the Westin Hapuna, located just ‘next door’ at the historic Mauna Kea Hotel!
When we couldn’t get a reservation at Manta, our concierge recommended Copper Bar, and we’re so glad they did. Thanks to the convenient shuttle service between properties, getting there was easy, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like a magical experience.
Breathtaking views, warm service, and incredible food. Everything about this place just hits right. The newly remodeled space offers a beautiful atmosphere, complete with live music and hula dancing, which makes for a truly memorable evening.
The food? Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The Caesar salad was crisp and refreshing, a perfect start to the meal. Pro tip: they’ll happily split it if you’re sharing. The daily catch was cooked to perfection, and the steak was rich and tender, on top of thick, savory mushrooms.
After dinner, be sure to take a stroll down to the dock to catch a glimpse of the manta rays gliding through the water. It’s an unforgettable bonus of dining at the Mauna Kea.
Copper Bar is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and take in the best of Hawai’i. We’ll definitely be back.

Copper Bar truly exceeded my expectations! Jaslyn, the General Manager went the extra mile to curate a birthday celebration with a quieter table, utilizing our candles + decorations as well as gifting a beautiful printed frame with a personalized birthday wish. It was truly special! The beet salad with shrimp and burger with fries were delicious as well as the chocolate peanut butter dessert. Allergies of gluten and dairy were graciously accomodated. The ambience is super cozy and inviting. The live music was unexpected and fantastic. When the staff came over with the birthday dessert/flare candle and had the musician sing happy birthday with a personalized name, it truly made our celebration meaningful!! Jaslyn, thank you so much for your attention to detail, kindness and generous assistance creating a memorable celebration! We definitely recommend visiting the Copper Bar in your travels!

Such a bummer. We were here 5 years ago and the food, atmosphere and service were great. HOWEVER, we went back for my friends 50th birthday today. I noted this on the reservation (which the restaurant website directed me to Open Table). I also noted this to both the host and hostess and the waitress.
When we were seated, the I told the waitress that I’d take the bill, but she ended up letting the birthday guy buy.
We had to find her to place our dinner order (I stood at the server station until she showed up). She said she refill our waters but never came back so we had to walk to the bar to get refills on water.
We waited to order dessert and she never came, so again had to track her down to request or bill.
When she brought the bill, I politely explained our disappointments and she showed no compassion or care and just asked “where are you guys from”?
I explained that we would never be back and she responded “oh, ok”.

Love this location — great for a quick bite, drinks, or to watch the sunset. The food itself is very hit or miss; for example, the gyoza shown here was one of the best dishes I had on the island, but the sushi was just ok. Drinks are great, service good except when they won’t seat you despite dozens of tables open.

The views, food, and live music were amazing! Their flatbread was delicious as well as their fresh catch of the day. Calamari was so fresh and crispy. I would skip the beet and arugula salad, nothing to write home about. Other than that, we had a perfect evening at the copper bar!

Great view, friendly bartenders (the host sucks, left us standing there and didn’t come back so we just sat at the bar) the food is incredible. We had the wings and ribs, both likely the best food we had all week. Manta had better cocktails, maybe go to Copper Bar for dinner and finish off the night at Manta for a nightcap.

One of the best places on the island for meals made from local meats and ingredients.
