Sorry I was not aware that there was already a forum going for Kaleo's Restaurant. Here's what I entered under 'A GEM IN PAHOA'. You guys have a great team @ this restaurant......
--------------------------------------------------------------
I was born in Hilo, raised in Pepeekeo but now live on Maui. Recently I visited Pahoa and stopped to have dinner @ Kaleo's Restaurant. What a pleasant & memorable experience! The food was SUPERB! But more importantly was the friendly atmosphere that was exhibited. From John, the parking lot attendant, to Tammy, the chef, Yeshua, the waitress and of course Leslie, the owner / manager, everyone made me feel like I was truly part of their 'ohana' and that I was being welcomed into their own home for a meal. Randy & Karlson added their excellent music to the already wonderful evening. I have not had as tasty a meal nor felt so special in a restaurant...ever. MAIKA'I to the entire gang @ Kaleo's. When are you expanding to Maui?? I only wish that I could visit more often...Truly, Kaleo's No Ka Oi!
