Kathy, if there are more than two of you, you can request the booth in the back and it is not at all noisy. It is actually quite private. The two window seats are very soft comfy leather chairs... and that often where we sit, but the view is so gross there unless you are into watching a Walmart parking lot. It is a shame that they do not move to a better location. They would have been great in the Kaikodo Building. Their chef is the most innovative in Hilo IMHO. By the way, they are featuring Big Island Red Veal this month... mmm!
Blake, you crack me up. Your wine was a lovely addition to the party! I love to try other people's food, it is a treat for me actually. I am sure when you and Lynn are living here full time we will have some great dinner parties. [

Loretta, The Coconut Grill is no more expensive than the others listed, and it is quite affordable at lunch (around $9 with free salad bar this month.) But for dinner most of the better entrees are about $18-$25. If you get cocktails/wine and appetizers and desert, it can add up. Their ambiance is not as nice as the Hilo Ponds across the street, and neither is the service. I would not rank it as a true special occasion place, but I would say it is a fairly good restaurant. To me it has a slightly better than coffee shop atmosphere.
We are going to have to make a trek up to Volcano and try Kilauea Lodge, it is one place we have not ventured to. Does anyone know if they have a nice Sunday Brunch? We do like to go up to Volcano for the Sunday farmer's market on occasion.
