WOW, what a restaurant and right in Pahoa. The old Clemente’s has been refurbished in to Kaleo’s Bar and Grill. They advertise it as a bar and grill but it’s not, it’s a full-blown restaurant with a bar. No hamburgers or grilled sandwiches here, the menu consists of higher-end beef, pasta, salads and fish. We dined there last night and I gotta’ tell you it’s the best dinner we had on the Island in the last two years. Don’t get me wrong the resorts do a great job but at twice the price and they are on the other side of the Island.
The ambiance was great as well as the service and the food was exceptional. The portions were a good size and none of us left hungry.
The four of us had 2 glasses of wine, 3 appetizers, 4 main courses and one shared desert (with 4 spoons) all for $142 including the tip. The shared desert was a great idea, just enough at the end of the meal and not a huge mound of sweetness that you can’t finish.
These guys have done an exceptional job with this restaurant.
Because the price is on the higher end it’s not a place where we would go every Saturday night. For us it’s like once a month or special occasions.
Appetizers $8-12, Main Course $16-25, white wine $5/glass and deserts around $7.
I know this place isn’t for everyone but do yourself a favor and stop in and try it, if you’re like us I think you’ll enjoy the experience.
