    My friends and I decided to skip cooking on Thanksgiving and made a reservation at Papa Kona instead. We are SO GLAD that we did! We had an oceanside table so the views were outstanding. The Light and Dark Turkey dinner was delicious and exactly the right amount of food: three slices of turkey, truffle butter green beans with mushrooms, stuffing, mashed potatoes with chives, cranberry sauce (almost like cranberry jam), a roll, and a slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream. There were not many leftovers at our table. Our server Erin was absolutely lovely, and provided excellent service with style. Mahalo for welcoming our ohana with yours, Papa Kona!

    Satisfactory food for a holiday meal. Although “regular” local white rice would be preferred. Another seafood options example Mahi, ahi , ono and crab legs options. Desserts could have more variety, whip cream or ice cream choices available. Simple inexpensive absorbent coasters for “sweating” water goblets would be practical to have rather then having water all over the tables. Buffet food warmers (some) felt awkward to open up (meaning lifting it up and back felt like it would topple, then reaching back to close lid - was awkward to ( I am short ,reaching it was a stretch). I am sure there are better easier food warmers that are easy to maneuver.

    Expensive, but the food was outstanding. The clam chowder and the lei of flavors for dessert are not to be missed. Not for the budget conscious. but if you’re willing to splurge, I highly recommend it
