Meridia - Kohala Coast

We had a fabulous dinner and Judy was a great server that we are vegan and she led us through the menu and helped with changes that need a lot of care with our diet. The best dinner we had on the big island!

The whole food was delicious I had the mushroom risotto with extra truffle oil!!! Also the Cataplana enjoyed the bread immersed in the sauce with a glass of delicious wine from Sicily on the side. Our server was also very nice.

We were hesitant to make reservations at first since we are rarely impressed with restaurants at hotels. However, dining options are limited around this property so we were able to secure reservations for two during our stay. I am so glad we did! This is not hotel dining, this is resort dining. The food was fantastic! Wine was excellent. And dessert was divine! I would have given 5 stars if the service would have been better. It was our 10 year Anniversary which was noted when the reservation was made yet that was never acknowledged even though other tables around us were getting words of congratulations for their anniversaries. Our server was not that attentive which wasn’t that annoying as I had great company, but we may have had more drinks if we had been asked. We will definitely be back when we visit again with the hope the service can be 5 star.

Magnificent ambience and great food! Our server took care of us and explained where our food came from. Almost everything was local and some of it was even grown right behind the restaurant! Really a great culinary experience. Make sure to make reservations! This is the only restaurant in the hotel that is more upscale, so it fills quickly.

Was here to celebrate my anniversary perfect sunset view good food. I would give 4.5 if Google allowed. We had the Friito mutto and beet tomato salad as an appetizer portion was larger than expected. Frito misto was a bit soggy, but it was good as Aoili supplement it well. We had lambstick Scallop as our main, both perfectly cooked. Again, the proportion was greater than expected. I had to pack half the lamb. FOH staff were friendly. They gave us a free anniversary dessert. The only thing I found very unpleasant was FLIES. They were everywhere when drinks were served. In addition, the food served very quickly. Our nets were served while we were still halfway through our appetizers.
