Great vibe with excellent food and drinks. The setting is beautiful, overlooking the sea and perfect for watching the sunset. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Service was a bit slow, but completely understandable given how busy they were. Overall, a wonderful experience and a place worth visiting again.

Fantastic bar and setting to watch the sunset. Thursdays, 5-7 they have Live Hawaiian music- we were blessed to see Robi Kahakalau- absolutely fantastic professional musician! We had the prime Rib and the blacked Ahi Sandwich- both were delicious and priced well. We also brought our own bottle of wine and paid the cork fee of $25. Well worth it as my wife could have the wine she wanted with dinner. We have been coming here since 2010 and always have a great experience. And their Happy hour is fantastic too!

We didn’t eat on this visit, just had cocktails. They were excellent, the view is great and our server was amazing.
The food that went by our table looked great and we heard customers saying it was very good.

Went for a late dinner without reservations. We were seated in 5 minutes. The waitress Lacy was excellent! She took our order by memory and it was perfect. We ordered the avocado bacon burger and the PO sandwich with salad and waffle fries. The food came quickly. The fries were hot and crispy and the burger was perfect. The salad was good and better than average side salads. The PHO prime rib french dip sandwich was THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN! I eat out a lot and have a taste for everything. I am not joking about this thing. It’s like those Vietnamese chicken sandwiches that you get at pho restaurants but it’s made with prime rib roast beef. It has cilantro and pickled cabbage on it with a few Jalapenos… The dipping sauce has such a perfect complex flavor I can’t describe the epicness without doing it a great disservice. It is the perfect bend of Asian/American/French… It will absolutely knock your socks off and it is my FAVORITE sandwich EVER hands down 99 out of 10! If you don’t try this on your vacation you wasted the trip. Ohh yeh and it’s cheap! $45 out the door dinner for 2.

I am very disappointed in the performance of today’s team at Don the Beachcomber. My disabled mother and her caretaker waited for an hour for a prime rib plate and burger with the restaurant at 1/4 capacity. Food was sent out room temperature with the prime rib completely rare and 25 percent rubbery fat (not rendered). Extremely soggy sweet potatoes fries were sent and inedible. One of the sides was supposed to be a pop-over for which we waited again for an additional 10 minutes. Eventually the waiter said they were in the oven and brought out 2 dinner rolls. When asked for butter my disabled mother received 2 (frozen solid) butter pads. The burger came out cold and over cooked (figure that one out) and all of this to the tune of 85.00. The waiter (Desmond) seemed indifferent and short, and instead of trying to make the situation better the staff merely blew it off and passed the check on. Bringing the food home – this is what we’re left with.. sad to say that after returning home we enjoyed Burger King that was in the refrigerator all night more – and I feel I’m doing Burger King a disservice.

We ate lunch here on a Tuesday afternoon in July 2024. This was a very good experience. The waitstaff was friendly and the service was great. We started with drinks; I got a longboard (local draft beer) and she got the Mai Tai flight which was 4 different flavors to try; they looked like they were 4 ounces each. She was very happy with her selection. For the entrees we got a Banh Mi Pho Dip sandwich and the Royal Pasta. The sandwich was quite flavorful but the bread was soft instead of the classic crusty bread, and light on the cilantro and jalapeño. The dip was a light broth that enhanced the flavor but the sweet potato Mac salad was the star of the show. I got the Royal Pasta which was bow tie pasta with chicken and crisp veggies in a light red cream sauce. Though it was prepared well, I found it a bit bland. I asked the waitress for some sliced fresh jalapeño, which she got for me, and it really helped the dish! The atmosphere was relaxed and the noise level was low making it easy to converse.

The sunset from this place is incredible. The cocktails will change your life. I can’t say that I have had many mai tais, but I will say that RJ makes the best Mai Tai I’ve ever tasted. Katherine was a delightful server and we had one of the most magical cocktail hours we’ve ever had. Thanks!

Legendary!!

I’ve found a wonderful place to return, ASAP! Food is superb, drinks are well poured, and very good. Don’s doesn’t skimp on quality, you will definitely enjoy this legendary name, of a location loved by your father, or grandfather, when they visited the islands many years ago

Food was okay. My father got a drink with lipstick on his glass. It overall didn’t feel like it looked. It appears like it should be a higher end brunch spot but feels more like a Denny’s in disguise.

Dining here was an excellent experience. The food was phenomenal and our server Lucy was so personable and lovely. We sat and were able to enjoy the sound of the ocean, nice service and food that was amazing! We will go again.
