quote:Pahui'a and Hale Samoa are the two best restaurants on the island. Canoe House, Manta & Pavilion Wine Bar and Merriman's make it to the Top 5 if money is no object.

John, I know that you and I both like Paolo's; So how about your top 5. 5 budget and 5 non-budget? The last that I visited Kona, we tried a new place that was across from The King Kam where Paleo's Used to be. It was good and budget minded. I also like La Pasta and the Kona Inn Lounge side.
Kiluea Lodge, Holuakoa Gardens, Fish Hopper, Hilo Bay Cafe and Paolo's are the Top 5 in the next tier.
There are lots of good hole-in-the wall (3rd Tier) places all over the island.
BTW, La Pasta closed and the new place you mentioned is Splasher's. (They used be just a burger joint across of the pier.)
