    Grilled fish bowl.
    Tina S.

    The name says it all! What a spectacular view you will find. I love the grilled fish bowl, with edamame and cucumber and seaweed salad, and a scoop of rice to wrap up this fresh and delicious bowl of food. The poke nachos is a great plate to share with a generous portion of poke. Casual atmosphere and good service. Add this one to your list when in Keauhou.

    The view!

    Great service, good price on food and the view! This place is perfect for larger group. 6 of us were seated comfortably and able to enjoy our lunch. I love the fish tacos. Really good flavor and good salsa too. 20% for large party added to the bill. They take reservation too.

    Went one night and left because after 20+ minutes didn't get service. We decided to go back. Think they just didn't have enough help and we all deserve a little grace, right? Beer was cold and food was great. Service was also good. Great view and easy location for us.

    Amazing views from our love hut. I would definitely reserve the rooms at Outrigger during the week.

    The view isn't the only great thing about this place the burger is hand patted and cooked to perfection. This is the best burger in the Kona area located at the Kona country club. Ice cold beers super friendly service all around great place. I definitely recommend coming here. They didn't name it the view for nothing.

    The view from the patio, it was a great view and had a nice breeze.

    We ordered coconut shrimp, and the ceviche which both were good. I ordered the loaded hot dog, very filling, fries were great, nachos were ok. The service was great. The ambiance was nice, overlooked the golf course and great view of the ocean.

    Great view of Keauhou Bay.  Yes they open!  (another review was apparently at the wrong place!)

    Likely the best view (hence the name) in Keauhou. Very relaxed atmosphere and huge covered patio restaurant. Plenty of shade. Good music in the background not blaring. Would be romantic hang out but not private. Great drinks. Happy Hour 2-4pm. Largest, best Poke Nachos I've ever had. Even the house salad was Big. Very friendly and attentive. So... I'll be back!! Seems like the attitude is better here than some other local places. Feel more welcome here. Good job.

    Loaded Fries with Kalua Pork

    A co-worker and I were in Kona for a golf tournament later in the week ... We went four days early to get in much needed practice. We started with a round at Kona CC and then had a late lunch at The View afterward. It's an open-air venue on the 2nd floor of the clubhouse overlooking the putting green and views toward the ocean. We started with a Crown on the rocks ($10) and a Hendricks gin & tonic ($12) for me. We ordered the Ahi Poke Nachos ($20) and the Loaded Fries with a topping of kalua pork ($12). The ahi poke nachos were one of the best we've tried ... spicy aioli atop ahi poke on a bed of crisp nacho chips. The chips were freshly cooked, or at least it seemed that way to me. The loaded fries were less successful ... We like our fries extra crispy and when one gets loaded fries, the topping makes the fries soggy. It's not the fault of the kitchen; it's a characteristic of loaded fries. Perhaps loaded nachos would have been a better choice. In any event, we enjoyed our time at The View though I would have preferred air conditioning as it was a hot and muggy day. Service was attentive and personable. Four stars and recommended.

    Decent food and service in open air restaurant with a view over golf course.. worth a visit after a round of golf . HH specials 2-4

    LOVE THE VIEW AT THE VIEW ======================= My sister and I stopped in to grab a bite and enjoy the view. We did make a few mistakes as far as the food went though. The happy hour cocktails were good. DO NOT ORDER THE MOZZARELLA STICKS - These were greasy and not good at all. We ordered a grilled fish sandwich as a wrap and the fish was fried. We should have sent it back. The fries were good. We would go back for the view and really check out all the reviews before ordering food.

    We love The View! This is our favorite spot. The food and drinks are always delicious and large portions. The staff is great and service is fast. The sunsets are amazing too!

    Happy Hour Bites. Yum!

    Fun happy hour, beautiful view and great music! The atmosphere and decor are just the cherry on top.

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.

The restaurant is in an unbeatable location with sweeping views from every table, plenty of parking, and open-air seating with good amounts of shade. Service was a little slow to start, but we weren't in a hurry. Once things got rolling, we got our drinks and food pretty quickly. The draft beer selection is limited, but they have a huge cocktail menu and full bar. I ordered the fish and wedges (beer-battered ono with seasoned potato wedges). It came with coleslaw. Fish was 5/5 stars. Wedges were 5/5, too. The coleslaw was 3/5 just because it was underseasoned and not that special. Serving size was generous and I only ate two of the three pieces of perfectly cooked fish. My husband had the kalua pork tacos and he raved about them. The only disappointment was that they were out of the potato mac salad, which he was looking forward to. The sub of seasoned potato wedges worked well, though.

Dinner at the Theatery was such a wonderful experience, it starts when you walk into the restauraunt and are greeted by the gorgeous Hawaiian sky, an indoor outdoor experience. The decor, ambiance, music, seating arrangements, lighting, it feels intentional, intimate and classy. We ordered appetizers - focaccia and grilled flatbread. Focaccia 10/10 - crunchy, yet soft, grilled flavor and the butter. Mmmmmmmm yum. Grilled flatbread 5/10 - not what I expected... Lychee martini 10/10 - classy, tropical, sweet but not too sweet ;-) I ordered the glazed lamb shank - the flavor was beautiful, the meat was juicey, soft and fell off the bone, paired with coconut rice and coconut curry. It was an amazing mixture of different flavors that worked so well together. I think we also got the Kanpachi - it was good but the lamb was our favorite. Finished off the evening with the dessert show with the banana foster - it was way too sweet for me but the show was very entertaining to watch :-). Our favorite dessert was the lilikoi crème Brûlée. (Not pictured). Perfect balance between sweet and savory. Crunchy yet creamy. So delicious!! We loved our experience at the theatery - dining felt like an experience, indulging in the art of eating and enjoying conversation with your dining partner. Will go again.
