Piko

We had Ahi Crudo Kombujime for starters, rib eye and poached Mahi Mahi (fresh catch of the day) for the two main courses. Overall, the dishes are among the worst I’ve had in my lifetime in terms of the quality/price ratio. A few notes: 1. The Kombujime was extremely salty. Obviously it has too much soy sauce. Because the fish was immersed in the soy sauce, the fish was too salty and I had to drink a lot of water after the first bite. 2. The ribeye was also overly salty and the salt was not evenly distributed. We can directly taste the salt grains. 3. Surprisingly, none of the main courses comes with carbohydrates like rice or potatoes. The waitress reminded us of that and we have to additionally order a side — bread is listed as a side, and there is no free bread as well. 4. The waiting time is long. We waited for 15 min to be seated, and it took a long time for the waitress to help us ordering food. We had a ribeye and supposed to get a steak knife. The waitress promised to get one for us but that knife never came. Overall I feel the dishes and service do not worth the price at all. The only reason it gets a lot of customers is that this is the only restaurant inside the resort. But if you have alternative choice, avoid this one.

The service we received was excellent. We really appreciated the helpful hostess and the attentive bar tender. Server took very good care of us. Food took a while to prepare, but it was tasty and well seasoned. A bit pricey, but in the range I would expect for Kona and a resort. We enjoyed the burgers and the cocktails were yummy. A wonderful place to experience the Kona sunset and check out the manta rays in the evening.

Dont waste your time going to this bar for a quick pool drink in the AM unless you 1st in line. Waited 20 mins behind one guest and in that 20 minutes others came, got frustrated and left. After 20 minutes? So did I...slow is the pace. The method of attack to take an order, complete the order, serve the order and chat while ignoring the presence of waiting people was underewhelming. I might have felt more obligated to stick around with atleast a hello. The guy at the Holua bar was a lot faster, not only at getting the drink out but at acknowledging the existence of a person nearby, waiting. Piko was a vibe killer. Even if it looks slow there? You're gonna wait forever. I looked at the menu available; I chose not to eat here at all based on my drink experience + quality and price complaints. We went to Umekes Fish Market Bar & Grill our first day in and the price and quality was positively excellent. We had drinks, the Next Level Lua Lua, Calamari and fried fish tacos and the table was $106.00 Hit that place up, its unmissable fire!

Nice restaurant but much more expensive than Waikiki. $37 for breakfast buffet. French toast on the menu consists of one slice of toast cut in half for $17. Did get the Belgian waffle however. Fortunately we found places outside the resort to eat, Had a couple of pina coladas from here and they tasted more like a Mai Tai.

Got a drink here on Saturday night and it made me immediately sick. Then went back to try and get breakfast. We’re seated by a delightful older man then proceeded to sit there for 30 minutes waiting for a server. We got to the point where we were so hungry we just left. Seems like they were almost trying to force us to the overpriced buffet. It’s easy because it’s on site but I’d avoid if possible. Way overpriced for the quality and service you receive.

Loved the live music. Service was really slow and the food was not really something to rave about. Granted my son and I both got hamburgers. Very pricey for not being that good. You do get a lot of food just did not taste that good

Had mixed reviews with staff. All the female waitresses, runners and hosts super nice. Had a great time. However, there were a couple instances with male staff that were particularly unpleasant. One was a runner who was dropping off dessert and we were trying to remember who ordered what and he got frustrated after no more then 5 seconds and threw the bowls in front of me. Nice. Second instance was Graham. We came for breakfast and had little time to look at the breakfast menu so we just ordered plain coffee. When we saw there were espresso drinks I felt bad having him waste coffee so I asked a hostess to get his attention for me before he wasted his time on it. He came back visibly angry, aggressively grabbed out empty mugs threw them into the bus caddy and stormed into the back after getting our latte orders. My intention wasn't to make him rush around doting on us, I just felt bad wasting his time and effort making brewed coffee but at that point I wish I did. Totally set the tone for the rest of the day. Other then that the food was decent though I did like the menu better from last year. Not for nothing but it doesnt matter how good the food tastes if your staff puts your entire party on edge. Two times people were throwing things like children having a tantrum, unacceptable.
