Dining at Copper Bar may have been our favorite dining experience on the Big Island! The setting was outstanding with the sunsetting and snorkeled heading out to see the manta rays. The service was outstanding. Our server was warm, knowledgeable, attentive. We loved the music and the beautiful, talented hula dancer made it extra special.

Happiest waitress ever, shared the specials gave us time to decide and open to our requests, made note of our gluten intolerance and brought us Tamari. We were seated in the back quieter dining room under a vent that couldn’t be turned off, the only drawback, it was freezing.
