I like Kaleo's for lunch. While I can appreciate the music in the evenings, it comes at the expense of conversation. If you are over 50, go for lunch, not dinner.
Most often the service is good, even those few times when the food is just okay. But my last experience was quite unfortunate. The waitperson grabbed away the wine list before I had a chance to peruse it; she took our order after the next two couples who were seated after us, and never came back to see how things were -- and certain condiments usually associated with our meals didn't arrive until we flagged another person down. We had to beg for dessert as it was never offered. Same for a drink refill. She was more concerned with drying glasses than with helping her tables. She was either very inexperienced, or purposefully rude, not sure which.
I will go again in hopes of having one of the better waitstaff. Kaleo's is the finest restaurant Pahoa has to offer.
