    After reading several good reviews we decided to try Fish Hopper for our first dinner in Kona. We made a reservation and were seated immediately, the waiter was very prompt and polite. The service was great and the food was fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend as a place to try. Also, the restaurant has a great location overlooking the bay, great spot to see the sunset, however the road going in front of the restaurant was a bit loud with drivers honking horns and reving engines as they went by at times. Other than that it is a great spot.

    The best turkey I’ve ever eaten!! Except for the noise level, everything was perfect. The service couldn’t be better-so attentive without being intrusive and the food was wonderful.

    Service was unbelievably quick. Clam chowder was served within two minutes of ordering and was outstanding. Main entrees were served within five minutes after finishing soup and were also excellent. Very quiet on a Monday evening. Glad we went there.

    The food was great, my husband had the rib eye steak that was cooked exceptionally well which doesn’t happen often. Loved the half rack of ribs too. Also recommend the Big Island Mai Tai!!

    I’ve been going to the Fish Hopper since it opened. I’ve always made reservations in advance requesting a certain seating arrangement which were always accommodated. Today, when we walked in (5 min before reservation) there were no ‘reserved’ signs on tables, all window tables were occupied however 1 table was being cleaned and the couple ahead of us told us they were waiting for it (strange my reservation wasn’t acknowledged) Decided to sit at the bar Ordered a mimosa, the bartender as uninterested, not friendly and didn’t ask if we wanted food and kept watching the football game along with other servers & busboys Good food as usual but I think I’ll take a break from this establishment, there are many more options in town with friendly wait staff Aloha Fish Hopper
