Service was great as was the food! I highly recommend the Fish Hopper, Kona, HI. Parking can be a bit challenging, so give yourself some extra time to find a paring spot. Reservations are a must…it’s a very popular restaurant and you might be able to walk in, but much easier and relaxing with a reservation. If you need handicapped parking or wheelchair entry, there’s only one spot near the back door. The ramp into the restaurant is perfect…especially if you get lucky to get the one spot. Hope you get the opportunity to experience the food, ambience and view! Aloha!
