Was in Keaau yesterday to finish off the laundry drying, & noticed that the new restaurant is opened! NATIVE steak & pasta... (or pasta & steak...or something like that) has been for a week...
Lunch & dinner... hamburgers, chicken & pasta - burgers under $10, the rest in the $11-$17ishy range....
Looks pretty much the same as the last few, as the furnishings are part of the rent...... seemed to have a lot of servers & nobody there...(too bad we were heading into Hilo for Graham Hawkes' talk on marine submersible flight in the Humpback sanctuary..., could have given a more in depth report...but were just there for the dryers!)
ADDED: Went there - Had meat Ravioli w/alfredo & Spag. w/ marinara... both good pastas
They do also have fish & steaks... in that price (well, fish is mkt price) good hale salad, "decent" minestrone... all in all, the pasta dishes were good, nothing spectacular, but the taste & size of portions were good, nicely spiced...
no liquor (rumor from a couple shops down, same mgt as before, lost liquor lic. but could not get out of lease...how true??? I dunno!)
Very quick service... waiter checked back a few times throughout the meal (ya, I know that is not noteworthy...but here, ya it is!) live music started at 6 & was nice & low volume...even inside...
