Hale Kai - KAMUELA

They have a wonderful fruit plate as well as delicious avocado toast. I would stay away from the bowl as it's mostly salad unless you want salad . The poke was OK. I recommend getting poke at one of the supermarkets or ocean poke specialist restaurants. Service, friendly and helpful ambience is beautiful as it's right near the ocean

What a beautiful location. We weren't staying at the Fairmont but stopped over to walk around and grab some dinner. The Fairmont is an incredible hotel and this spot takes advantage of the ambiance of the hotel. Our server, Scott, was great; friendly and helpful. Started with the ceviche which was well worth it. A solid start. Our son had the lobster fried rice and it was flavorful and really good. Daughter had the poke ahi which I thought was very good but was a bit much for her. The accompanying kimchee and crab was a nice touch. My wife had the chipotle chicken tacos. Three small tacos were perfect for her and they were very tasty. I went light and had the Caesar with crunchy tofu which was pretty much what you would expect, nothing out of the ordinary but got the job done. The drinks were great and priced in line with drinks you'd see around the island.

We visited Hale Kai restaurant on our visit to Hawaii for my mom's birthday trip. My family of four plus my sister split off from the bigger group to have a sunset dinner at this sand in your toes restaurant. It was amazing. The atmosphere was spot on. We had a 6 and 10 year old with us and they were welcomed. The Mai tai was my favorite I found on the island. Strong and delicious that I could only enjoy one! everyone in our party enjoyed our food and they were so careful with our son who has a nut allergy. The service was good, maybe a bit slow, but we weren't complaining as we got to enjoy the sunset and the view and take our time. We sent our parents there the next night when we went on the Manta Rey snorkel. We will be back!

The food is delicious and the service is GREAT (especially Kathy and the chefs), and we ate there nearly every night of our 7 day stay. The $25 daily pool and restaurant fee at Hali'i Kai is WELL WORTH IT!! The location can't be beat for watching the sunset- it's literally on the cliff's edge and gives you a 180+ degree view of the horizon. The pool is great, too, although it only gets to 4 feet deep and is warm. Still the location is spectacular for swimming or lounging in a comfy pool-side chair. The towel service is awesome as well!

Open air. Feel the sand on your toes. We sat in the bar area, so there was no sand on our toes. We had a light dinner but just enough. Fried spicy chicken, 8 pieces. Local mahi mahi fish taco, 3 of them. That fresh lemon really adds to the taste, as well as salsa. Thai salad with catch of the day, mungcho fish with light coconut dressing. Macademia hummus was just ok. Add some lemon makes it better. Tonight was super windy. Lettuce flying off the plate. We saw the semi sunset. The service was great.
