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.

Server was attentive and reasonably quick. 10 of us served and fed in 45 minutes which was great as we were on a quick turnaround. Disappointed that no espresso coffee was available the day we went. Sensational view.
