Amazing dining experience– phenomenal food, breathtaking sunset view, fantastic service!!
I love my KonaVille Hot sandwich as a vegetarian. The maiitake mushroom paired with their special sauce and topping in this sandwich is just unbelievably delicious!!
My husband had the Grilled Shrimp Ceviche, which is a great recommendation by our server since he is not that hungry. And our server was right, the special local tomato in this dish made someone like my husband that doesn’t like tomatoes chow down the whole thing!
And I’m being super serious– DO NOT SKIP THE UBE BROWIE SUNDAE! It is mind-blowingly goooodddd!!! First of all, it is not too sweet (from a Chinese person ♀️). This halo-halo inspired sundae, packed with unique and flavorful topping, plus the infamous Ube brownie, yummmm!!!
We had a very friendly and helpful server who taking care of us! She gave us great recommendations on the menu.
The restaurant located by the beach, make a great dining spot during sunset. Highly recommend!!!!

I try not to eat at hotel restaurants as I love to venture out, but we were starving! Plus, the Ironman triathlon was taking place so the roads were a mess and I didn’t want to deal with it, so here we were.
ATMOSPHERE:
They’re located poolside, oceanfront, and 100% outdoors. A towering, thatched-roof bar that would look right at home in the Bahamas sits up front. Regular table seating spills out onto a sand floor, something I’m not fond of. There were a few umbrellas for shade. Naturally there were a few flies & gnats pestering us but that’s a given being that you’re outdoors.
FOOD:
Caesar Salad
The dressing was really good; creamy and on the savory side.
Burger
This was really good and worth the price. The patty was thick and juicy with a nice sear, and cooked perfectly to my medium liking. The two strips of bacon had a nice crunch. The natural cut fries were thick and salted with chunky sea salt crystals which gave it a great flavor and was visually appealing. Two yums up!
SERVICE:
We were seated immediately as the place was empty on this Saturday afternoon around 3pm. Our server was friendly & professional, and checked on us often.
OVERALL:
A bit pricey, great food, views, and service.

I loved the food. We ate at the bar and enjoyed the conversation of bartender Brandon. He was entertaining and attentive. We had the lobster tacos, poke bowl and shrimp cerviche. All were delicious. The margarita was a scrumptious desert. The lantern ceremony was also beautiful.

This is a great bar with a casual dining experience. One of the best scenic sunset viewpoints in the area.
It is located poolside next to Brown’s in the Fairmont Orchid they don’t take reservations but you simply put your name on the waitlist and they will text you when your table is ready. You can wander around the Oceanside while you wait.

I loved eating at this spot during my stay at the Fairmont Orchid. There’s no requirement for a reservation, which I appreciated since I was jet lagged and was not certain about a dinner time for myself early in the trip. It has a great view of the ocean. The food came out fast and each meal was delicious! Jackie was my server each night, and he was awesome. The service was swift, fun, and he had great recommendations. Had Ono fish the first night and fish tacos the second night. Food was fresh and very tasty. Definitely recommend going here!

Got the maitake mushroom sandwich, very quickly got food poisoning. Sandwich was just okay. Too dry, kind of bland.

Celiac safe! Our servers, Iryne and Cherrish-Anne, were phenomenal, very knowledgeable, and very helpful in accommodating a safe meal for my wife to eat. The Thai Green Salad was her favorite and the Lobster Fried Rice was something we both loved. They actually made it gluten free for her! Our favorite spot at the resort for the ocean views and great cocktails! Thank you for the pleasant dining experience!

It is located at a prime spot where you can enjoy the view of ocean.
The staff was kind.
However, the food was disappointing. Fish and chips was oily. Cubano (~ Pork sandwich) was somehow fishy.
Thankfully their chicken wings were okay.

Service was good. Apps were good, but i wasn’t a fan of the wings at all. Guac was amazing. Main food was good, except shrimp and rice were not seasoned. Fries and burger were exactly what i expected! Everything was overall cooked well and the mud pie was amazing!
