    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.

    As always, the food was excellent. The Pina Colada cake is the best! Faith does an outstanding job and is so friendly. Love that the Manager always comes around to our table also to check on our meals. Highly recommend!

    They have a new chef and a new menu. It’s still good but there are a few items off the menu that we wanted to eat and not available.
