    We had a wonderful experience, after a day at the beach and a couple of walks the length of the beach we had dinner at the Naupaka. The service was friendly and we had a great table to view the sunset. The place is a 5-star in every categories. We will be back.

    Not worth it. Staff is not happy. Food is medium. Nachos were junk with canned everything on them. Cheap. And there are cats all over the place. We will never go back.

    We have been doing some fine dining around the Big Island and decided - for one night - to do something more chill and have burgers. Nelly had the smash burger ($30) and I had the other one ($28) based on our waiter's recommendation. I ordered mine medium but it came out rare. I never send anything back (ever) so I just let it go. Both of our burgers were seemingly unseasoned and flavorless, and we both felt our waiter would rather be somewhere else. The only thing worth raving about were the corn ribs appetizer which were delicious.
