Fine Dining Options in Kona Hawaii
Filled with impressive resorts and hotels, the Kona Coast is consistently listed among the top-rated tourist destinations not only in Hawaii, but around the world. And with such a heavily-visited, much-desired locale, the dining scene is beginning to follow. There’s no shortage of memorable dining experiences throughout the Big Island, let alone the Kona Coast, so if you’re considering a Big Island vacation and want to take advantage of some top cuisine, look no further than the following fine restaurants:
Jackie Rey’s Ohana Grill
75-5995 Kuakini Hwy
Kailua-Kona, HI 96740
A Big Island purveyor of continental cuisine, Jackie Rey’s Ohana Grill perfectly blends American-style food with a tropical twist, but not at the expense of amazing seafood dishes. From tasty burgers to steak au poivre and linguini and fresh clams, Jackie Rey’s is a high-end crowd pleaser like no other on the island.

Huggo’s
75-5828 Kahakai Rd
Kailua-Kona, HI 96740
With one of the longest-tenured local chefs on the Big Island, Huggo’s Main Restaurant remains a must-visit for great oceanside dining. Fresh-caught seafood, Big Island-steak, and locally-grown vegetables combine for a picture-perfect Hawaiian meal.

Fine Dining Just North of Kona
‘Ulu Ocean Grill + Sushi Lounge
72-100 Ka’upulehu Drive
Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i 96740
Routinely listed among the best restaurants in Hawaii, ‘Ulu’s oceanfront setting within the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort is worth the visit alone. But the fish and seafood selections are overshadowed only by the attached sushi and sake bar, which is arguably the best on the Big Island. Working with more than 160 farmers and fishermen, ‘Ulu’s ingredients approach 75% locally sourced. And with private dining options, you’ll never find a more romantic setting for a special evening.

Beach Tree Bar and Grill
72-100 Ka’upulehu Drive
Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i 96740
With similarly stunning views of the Pacific-facing Kona coastline as its neighbor in ‘Ulu, the Beach Tree Bar and Grill provides the same level of quality and service with a more relaxed setting and menu. Burgers, pizzas, and pastas adorn the menu, but specialty items include house-made pappardelle with hamakua mushrooms and parmigiano crema, ox tail ragout, and mascarpone with prosciutto pizzas.
