    Pastrami on Rye ($22) with tots (+$4 but totally worth it!)
    Lesley D.

    If you're in Honoka'a this place is a must! The pastrami on rye is excellent, but the pizza was perhaps the most surprising! The crust is perfectly thin and crispy, yet still with some chew, and the red sauce was so full of flavor. I was very pleasantly surprised. They have a full bar, but it's still kid friendly, and plenty of TVs for watching sports!

    Wow. So incredible. We stopped on our drive across the Big Island. This place is amazing. Beer, food, hospitality are all great. Malia, the server/bartender was so nice and full of life. All the specialty pizzas can be ordered as slices. It's worth a drive to check this place out.

    Smoke House Pizza
    Mona L.

    Stopped here after a on our way back to Hilo. There wasn't much open on a Saturday evening, but this place was open and I am so happy it was. We got a large Smoke House pizza and it feed 5 adults and we still had a couple of pieces left over. It's was sooooo good and you could smell the smoked meat on it. I think next time though I would request for just a little more sauce on the pizza. I'll definitely be adding this to my list of places I have to come back to on our next Big Island visit. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are in the area. And trust when I say get the Smoke House Pizza

    Pastrami on rye
    Emunah E.

    The pastrami on rye, with sauerkraut and pickle spear was excellent. Marbled rye, housemade pastrami and housemade "Ukrainian Freedom Dressing" was legit and entirely unexpected in this part of Big Island. I liked the ratio of meat, cheese, kraut but some carnivores might want more pastrami. The tater tots were a let down sadly. They need to be deep fried and I think these were old and pan-fried. And they had no salads at all even though several listed on menu, probably a produce delivery prob. I bought one at the gas station down the block LOL. But worth going to this place for the pastrami!

    This place is great! The staff is awesome and friendly. The portions are generous and the food is delicious! Best pizza on the island for sure! The wings are also really good and is actually crispy! Try it with the fire sauce! The burger also came out juicy and full of flavor rig to share! I definitely recommend trying them out!

We went to the bar area because in the past, without reservations, that was your only real shot of getting seated without a significant wait. That wasn't an issue today. We both ordered a large pizza. I got the Captain, and my buddy did a "Build your own" with 3-4 ingredients. We each had a single drink (pint of beer and a vodka soda) and the check including tip was $100. That is a lot of money for two pizzas, and two drinks. I will say our server was on top of it the entire time. She checked on us several times and was great. My pizza was good. I feel like they subtracted some ingredients from the past but it was tasty. The sauce had a hint of sweetness but not over the top. I did like the crust, although some may have found it to be slightly undercooked; it was but I didn't mind. Our orders came out quickly, pizzas were tasty, service was great. 4/5 stars because for pizza, it seems a bit pricey.

I'm in Hawaii about twice a year, and this spot is always locked in. The sunsets here are unreal. Depending on the time of year and when your reservation is, you can catch some of the best sunsets in all of Hawaii right from your table. It's one of those places where the view alone makes the night. Food is consistently great. The pizzas are always a safe bet, the chicken parmigiana is a must, and honestly any of the pastas don't miss. Everything is just solid across the board. Drinks are on point, cocktails are strong in a good way, well made, and they've got a great wine list plus plenty of beer options. Service is exactly what you'd expect from Four Seasons, top tier, attentive, and smooth without being over the top. Also a great spot if you're vegetarian or dining with someone who is. They actually have real options, not just afterthoughts. They'll occasionally have a show with fire dancers which adds to the experience. Great food, great service, great drinks, and one of the best views you'll get anywhere. Easily my favorite restaurant in Hawaii and it's not even close. Parking: Visitor Parking is free!

So much attention to detail and we never felt rushed even though every table was full when we left 2 hours later. The view can not be beat and there was l8ve soft Hawaiin music playing that was the perfect soft volume and never interfering with conversation. The food was excellent and priced for the level of the venue and excellent service.
