The Temple Kona

Great atmosphere, inside outside style dining. The menus are very curated and staff were so kind and helpful with recommendations. We had the Italian flatbread and various tacos. Highly recommend the fried rice as well. Open late, a good stop for night life.

Everything was fantastic, they started the beginning of our 10th anniversary trip to Hawaii the right way. Great service and cleanliness, food was delicious and the felt very hospitable. Would do it over again tomorrow if we could!

Even though I live here, this was my first experience with Temple. I enjoyed the tri-tip flatbread pizza but it was not the best I'd ever had. The dessert was exceptionally bad. I love bread pudding so when it was on the dessert menu I was so excited. I got an order to go and when I got home was so disappointed in the two little flat squares that definitely did not seem homemade. The bourbon sauce was greasy but the whipped cream though melted was amazing. That was all that I found to be amazing. Those flat squares were tasteless spongy cardboard for $16. The service and atmosphere were good but the food not quite up to par. Will not be returning.

Perfect spot to watch a Kona sunset and enjoy some local fare. Little lizards hung out with us on the patio-so cute! The food was outstanding-flavors well-balanced and complimentary without being overly pretentious. Garlic shrimp, oysters, pork belly poke and ribeye with house chimmichurri were standouts for us. Dill With It Martini was a lovely treat as well!! Shout out to our girl Erin for the lovely service and fantastic recommendations. We hope to be back the next time we’re on the big island.

Food was great. My wife said she had the best avocado toast ever. Their flatbread options are all excellent as well. Amazing view and a selection of cocktails to match. In our visits, we had two amazing waitresses and one terrible waiter. Hence the 4-star service rating. (But anyone can have an off day)

My wife and I came here for our birthdays and enjoyed a delicious meal filled with amazing flavors, creativity and flair. The menu offers a wide variety of tasty treats to tantalize those with a sophisticated palette. They also have a very creative drink menu with specialty cocktails and high quality ingredients. I have to say I would definitely recommend you stop by here even if it's just for a drink, but the food was absolutely delicious. My lamb shank was perfectly cooked the clams were awesome and my son's caesar salad was exceptional!

One of the best places I have eaten in Kona and with a gorgeous ocean view! We were supposed to go somewhere else for brunch but my dad and partner came here and started drinking bloody Mary’s. This spot offers brunch on the weekends and great drink specials! Who can pass up a $5 Bloody Mary? Especially when the Bloody Mary mix is made in-house? I’m pretty picky with bloody Mary’s and I’m happy to say these are excellent and well-balanced with a nice amount of spice! My party ordered the steak hash, sliders, and breakfast burrito. Everything was super good! According to the server, everything is sourced locally — naturally a huge plus. Service was excellent too. Great spot to visit to get truly delicious food that tastes fresh. Well done!
