Feedback
Nestled by the water, this restaurant offers stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. While many patrons rave about the fresh flavors in dishes like the Big Kahuna breakfast and the ribs during happy hour, some guests noted inconsistencies in food quality and service, particularly during peak times when waitstaff seem overwhelmed. Despite occasional lapses in seasoning and cleanliness, the inviting ambiance and attentive service, coupled with delightful cocktails, create a memorable dining experience worth revisiting. Overall, it's a charming location to enjoy a meal with friends or family.
The food at this restaurant is consistently good and the staff is friendly. Tawney is the standout employee. The view adds to the enjoyable experience.
There are many restaurants in Kona that claim to have the best breakfast, but Island Lava Java Bistro, even without such a sign, definitely serves one of the best breakfasts in Kona. We both ordered the Big Island Basic which comes with 2 eggs cooked any way, choice of bacon or sausage, and potatoes or rice. The portions are large and the prices are very reasonable, plus the view of the ocean across the street is amazing. The service was fantastic, with very friendly staff who kept refilling our coffee in large mugs. It's a great place to relax and start the day off right.
Such delicious food! I went for breakfast and it was amazing. Kona coffee in the French press was great too. Amazing ocean view. Great service, great environment.
A fabulous dinner from start to finish! It was a great way to end off our vacation in Hawaii. Our server, Daniel, was awesome, and the hostess was friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!
The burger lacked flavor and seemed to be frozen. The shrimp salad was enjoyable, but only had two cherry tomatoes, a few bacon bits, and a small amount of cheese on top. The service was good, but the exterior of the restaurant, including the rails and stairs, were very dirty. We are considering removing Foster's from our list of go-to spots due to the decline in quality. It's disappointing as it used to be a consistently great restaurant.
