Been there a few times. Service OK, Fish Good (esp the fresh farm fish....) ambiance great ONLY if you get a lanai table - on the west - Hilo- side at dusk. Watching the egrets getting roost spots on the trees around the pond with the colors of sunset spreading over the sky... (no egrets????) but of course these are the tables most EVERYONE wants.... If inside, ambiance points go way down to OK. One thing for those who have never been out this way. The Restaurant IS NOT seaside, it is across the road from James Kealoha & Carlsmith beaches (4 Mile). The only waterside seats are the ones on the lanai, overlooking the fish ponds, but no ocean views.
