My wife and I came here for our birthdays and enjoyed a delicious meal filled with amazing flavors, creativity and flair. The menu offers a wide variety of tasty treats to tantalize those with a sophisticated palette. They also have a very creative drink menu with specialty cocktails and high quality ingredients. I have to say I would definitely recommend you stop by here even if it’s just for a drink, but the food was absolutely delicious. My lamb shank was perfectly cooked the clams were awesome and my son’s caesar salad was exceptional!

Food was great. My wife said she had the best avocado toast ever. Their flatbread options are all excellent as well. Amazing view and a selection of cocktails to match. In our visits, we had two amazing waitresses and one terrible waiter. Hence the 4-star service rating. (But anyone can have an off day)

I absolutely loved this place! The food was fantastic, and the vibe was amazing with those incredible views. The service was top-notch, and we were so happy with Zach, who was super friendly. We had the baba ganoush, tacos, fried rice, and the amazing blackberry ice cream. If you’re ever in Kona, I would highly recommend this place!

Perfect spot to watch a Kona sunset and enjoy some local fare. Little lizards hung out with us on the patio-so cute! The food was outstanding-flavors well-balanced and complimentary without being overly pretentious.
Garlic shrimp, oysters, pork belly poke and ribeye with house chimmichurri were standouts for us.
Dill With It Martini was a lovely treat as well!!
Shout out to our girl Erin for the lovely service and fantastic recommendations. We hope to be back the next time we’re on the big island.

One of the best places I have eaten in Kona and with a gorgeous ocean view! We were supposed to go somewhere else for brunch but my dad and partner came here and started drinking bloody Mary’s. This spot offers brunch on the weekends and great drink specials! Who can pass up a $5 Bloody Mary? Especially when the Bloody Mary mix is made in-house? I’m pretty picky with bloody Mary’s and I’m happy to say these are excellent and well-balanced with a nice amount of spice!
My party ordered the steak hash, sliders, and breakfast burrito. Everything was super good! According to the server, everything is sourced locally — naturally a huge plus. Service was excellent too.
Great spot to visit to get truly delicious food that tastes fresh. Well done!

We stayed in Kona for 5 days and we went to this restaurant 3 times it was so good. The service was excellent and the food was even better. Everything we had was excellent. They use locally sourced ingredients and everything is made from scratch. We are very particular about what we eat and we hate cheap low quality food. The food at The Temple was a pleasant surprise. We highly recommend the Smokey Flatbread and the Backyard Pumpkin Salad.
The location is also a big plus where we were able to watch the sunset on multiple nights. Definitely our favorite place in Kona.

A nice place to have some drinks with friends on a lazy day. We didn’t have much on the food menu but the drinks were good, and the service was friendly. I’ll definitely be back for a lunch or dinner sometime.

Don’t give 5 stars often. The atmosphere and service we were met with on a Tuesday, then again on Wednesday and again on Saturday was stellar. Tried the food on Saturday and it was as good as we were told. Drinks are killer, ask for them strong if that’s your vibe. Will definitely go again. The only negative is the butter is super salty along with some of the dishes. Ask them to tone down the salt if that’s needed.

Farm to Table….Absolutely the freshest food on the island, maybe the best restaurant I have ever eaten at !! I know that is strong statement, but honest. Excellent meals with the best ingredients. Ty was a super personable and knowledgeable of the menu and its sourcing. He even walked my 84 yr old father to the public restroom and unlocked the door (their restroom had a line). We are headed to Hilo in a few days and will try other location on the east side. (Picture with entree) Thank you Temple staff for our best dining experience on the island. Party of 3 totally satisfied, this is the 1st review I have ever done on goggle, it was that good folks.

Phenomenal location for sunset unless two servers are standing in front of you, vaping.
$150 meal with shared salad, squash side, sourdough bread, ribeye and1 bottle sparkling water and 2 IPAs
Sourdough bread was $12. Actually was 2 pieces of bread, cut in half. Squash with honey and goat cheese was okay, needed more honey and goat cheese. Ribeye was tasty but pricey for the portion and no sides. Too many other food choices in Kona to spend a lot of money for so-so food and service.
