PONDS HILO, INC.

Great food. Big steak. Great view! We sat in this restaurant by the sea, where the staff was friendly and attentive. I had a great steak and some veggies and enjoyed what I would describe as a must in Hilo. It was a perfect first hunting introduction to Hawaii.

By far the best restaurant I tried in Hilo! Had a nice view of a small path from the bay. The seafood linguins should die for! This place is close to hotels and the airport. My May tai was quite average, but who cares when the food is so good! I hope I'll be back in Hilo next time.

I love this place. Sa of open windows view over Ice Pond with families picnic and children swimming, ducks and a turtle in the water under our window! The food was nicely cooked and there was a large selection on the menu. I had an appetizer as my main dish and it was more than enough. Our waitress was friendly and funny and we even met the cook:

Although this is usually called a dive, it had a fun and friendly atmosphere as well as high-quality food. Clams were well made, drinks were strong and cheap, $5.50 for a vodka soda. Great fish. The waiter was super friendly and brought the children fish food to throw out into the koi. Watch good people and look at the ponds. We all had a great time and highly recommend when you are in Hilo to check it.

A good spot for lunch. A little pricey. If the service would have been better I would not have minded so much. Parking was easy.
