Sunset Runner
Tina S.

Friendly staff and fresh food. Amazing view and good food what else can you ask for? We love the wedge salad, coconut shrimp, and of course the generous portion of fries. One of the best drinks they serve is the Sunset Runner, and if you're lucky Michael or Chelsea will be working. Let's not forget the live music nightly.

Sunset Terrace has fallen from its former glory days of "Ono" food, tasty cocktails and stellar service to offering bland and overpriced consumables accompanied by inconsistent service depending on the day you visit. As Wyndham owners and business professionals, we understand that sometimes our expectations far exceed our experiences. However, since the prior co-owner left, this place continues its downward trajectory. Current ownership and management should be held accountable for this continued disappointment we have experienced in the last five years. After speaking with other Wyndham owners and local business professionals we have discovered this has been a growing concern due to poor bar and grill leadership. The "golden rule" in the service industry is simple and relative to the best selling book in the world if that's your belief. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." In an environment that should appeal to all of your sensory emotions, Sunset Terrace management and ownership has failed to live up to that expectation through witnessed outbursts of rudeness and belligerence that have forced us and our neighbors and colleagues to find alternative accommodations and dining experiences until Wyndham rectifies this ongoing display of poor restaurant behavior and inconsistent service. In fact, the only thing consistent is the sunset view.

Oh my this was such a great place to come to have a drink and watch the sunset. This restaurant is located at the Kona Coast Resort where we stayed. It was really nice to be able to walk over to it from our condo. They do not have a special "Happy Hour" but we really enjoyed having a drink here. They have a full bar and offer drinks, wine, beer and hard seltzer. We so enjoyed the waitress and bartender and received great service. In the evenings, most nights, they had live music which made the whole experience top notch. In addition to coming here in the evenings, we had breakfast here one morning. They have a limited menu, but very tasty. The food was served hot and was good. The real magic here was the amazing sunset view, the nice music and the great drinks and service that we received. Thanks for making our time so nice when we came here.

This was such a fun place. We loved the live music in the evening and the staff was friendly and helpful well recommendations. Portions on the fish and chips were a bit small for the price but it was so tasty. They were single staffed so it took a bit of time but we didn't mind because of the view and music.

We got there near when they stop serving but still 15 minutes. For some reason the waitress ignored us and took 2 tables that came in after us. We finally flagged her down and she said kitchen was closed. I pointed out she took orders from 2 tables that came later, she went back and said she got them to let her take the order. I'm addition tables had not been cleared and we had to Push dishes to the side and wipe the table. We split a pork sandwich with fries that was pretty good but after the problem getting served and dirty tables don't expect to Go back

The food was wonderful, super good hamburgers, I don't know how two slices of cheese made it extra cheesy, but they did it super well! The service was wonderful, and the ambience of the singer in front of the pool was amazing! 10 out of 10!

Papaya filled with yogurt and granola

This restaurant is located on the Kona Coast Resort property. They have upgraded it quite a bit since our last visit. However, each time we dined there, they only had one server and they doubled as the bartender sometimes. The food was fresh and served hot/cold. They had a smaller selection than the last time, but it was quality fare. We had the Ono fish and chips, the mushroom Swiss burger, the chicken cordon blue sandwich, chicken wings, papaya with yogurt and granola, stuffed French toast, fruit plate, bacon & eggs while we were there. The view from the place overlooks the ocean and they do have live music several nights a week, which was new. Loved their virgin lava flow and Pina colada drinks while sitting poolside. Papaya

Ham and Eggs with yummy potatoes.

The food wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't special either. If you ask me what the best thing about this place is I would have to say that if you are staying at the Kona Coast Resort is that it is convenient. The food is not remarkable, and the menu has shrunk. But it will fill you up, and the view from the patio is nice. So it you are going to be walking around shopping in town for several hours it's a good way to start the day. If you're looking for a spectacular meal you will have to search elsewhere.

POS of a person in general

Leaving a 1 star for the earful service by the waitress who refused to give us her name. But I got a photo, not the best quality. The food was good here but the service from her and the bar tender was unacceptable to any standard. It doesn't take much to be a decent human being but this lady was ignoring us, talking about us to the bar tender to where we could hear her and practically throwing our drinks at us as she brought them over. She was helping everyone around us that got there after us and when we put our order we waited and hour and a half and still nothing. We ended up leaving when we asked her if it was almost ready and her response rude and walked away to the bar tender and started pointing and laughing. So sad that this lady has no class or was ever taught how to treat people.

WORST waitress EVER!!

We went for a stroll along the strip and all of a sudden we were hungry for lunch. My son and his…read moregirl friend checked out the menu the other day and wanted to try this place out. We were seated immediately and as we were waiting for our server, my wife and friend were close by and wanted to meet us. We asked if we can move to a larger table and they were good! Our server was excellant with all the food choices for my son with allergies and checked with the kitchen just to be sure. I ordered the Duo Bao with Fried Shrimp and a side of fries. As for Pupus we ordered the Mac N Cheese Balls and Vegetable Empanadas. The appetizers came in quickly and they were hot and fresh. The Mac N Cheese balls were really good! It was coated w/ panko so it was really crunchy and had guava BBQ sauce along with sriracha sauce and topped with green onions. I must say it was very good. I loved the Veggie Empanadas! It had a balanced blend of the blackbeans, corn, jalapenos, onion and cheese sauce. The crust was handmade and yummy, Next is my Dua Bao with Fried Shrimp. The homemade sauce was sweet and balanced the dish with the pickled onions. I really loved the serrano peppers. The fries were good! Overall, from service to the foof, it was great!

Service is good--very attentive and friendly. Parking is available on-site for $24…read more Upstairs has beautiful waterfront views. The food is decent, with a few gluttonous bites, but overall nothing that really stood out beyond the watermelon salad. It was my favorite--fresh, firm, and sweet, with bites of mint and arugula that made it delightful. The mac bites are tasty when eaten hot. The drinks feel like part of the tourist attraction--cute, sweet, and fun for the experience. Overall, the views and service are the highlights. The food was decent, but for me, a solid 3-star experience.

A Great Little Neighborhood Dive Bar!…read more We love finding a good dive bar when we travel, and Dolphin Spit Saloon was exactly our kind of place! This is such a fun, lively neighborhood bar with a really welcoming atmosphere. The bartender was a genuinely nice guy and even gave us a recommendation for food we could order nearby and bring back to eat at the bar. We took his advice and ordered Thai food from right next door--and it was AMAZING! What we loved most was how friendly everyone was. People at the bar actually talked to us, which made it feel less like a tourist stop and more like a true local hangout. We even met the cutest little pup who was 18 years old! His owner was just as friendly, and moments like that are exactly why we enjoy places like this. The artwork throughout the bar is so much fun, and there is so much to look at and read. Even the bathrooms were clean and had entertaining artwork! If you are looking for a polished resort bar, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want a fun, friendly neighborhood dive where you can connect with people, have a drink, laugh a little, and feel like a local for a while, Dolphin Spit Saloon is absolutely worth a stop. If you're looking to connect and quench your thirst, this is the place!

Always our first stop after landing before heading to the condo. Drinks are great. People are…read moreawesome. Their shirts and stickers are pretty sick too
