    After reading several good reviews we decided to try Fish Hopper for our first dinner in Kona. We made a reservation and were seated immediately, the waiter was very prompt and polite. The service was great and the food was fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend as a place to try. Also, the restaurant has a great location overlooking the bay, great spot to see the sunset, however the road going in front of the restaurant was a bit loud with drivers honking horns and reving engines as they went by at times. Other than that it is a great spot.

    We love Roy’s and go on every visit to the Big Island. We have food allergies and have found that Roy’s will make accommodations that we need. Their new menu has gluten free items clearly marked. Our server was knowledgeable and took great care of us. He went back to the kitchen and checked on any questions we had. I had the snapper and shrimp with rice instead of polenta. It was excellent. My husband always has the butterfish. Several in our party had the chocolate soufflé for dessert, but I had guava sorbet since I’m also dairy free. We had a great meal, with great service.
