REVIEWS OF Hilo Bay Cafe IN Hawaii

John S

A contemporary setting and a few vegetarian options. We went for the veggie burger which was provided along with a healthy portion of potato fries and was very tasty. Staff were friendly, and for the area it was good value for money.

Rock Hunter

We enjoyed this cafe/restaurant. Fab views over Hilo Bay from deckside and windowside tables. We were there during the afternoon menu. Although somewhat limited, we found it just fine. The fish and chips was great and the poke too. Thoroughly enjoyed the passion fruit tea.

Benny Spee

Food is fantastic. My lady freind had the fish and i had the chicken. Enjoyed so much went back for another meal.Booking essential.

Katrina lodge

Lindy Marzo

Great service, great food.

Nancy Anderson

Best restaurant in Hilo! Great views too.

Rita Hurtado

Keto friendly brussel sprouts & mushroom dish was delicious. Sushi rolls, amazing. Hele Mai Tai was hella good! No pics of the brussels, I ate them too fast :)

Ivan Yamanaka

I must say the food & service was great here, Master Sushi chef Roy was very meticulous in his preparation & presentation! Will definitely be back for his outstanding service!

Daniel Leonard

Great tasting food and cool atmosphere! I liked the small twists on classic foods that made everything interesting. Definitely want to come back.

Tracy Dixon

The food was good

Robert Robertson

Great dinner experience. So much more than we expected. The decor and ambiance is the nicest we have seen in Hilo Hawaii. The entire star was pleasent and attentive. Especially our server Anna. She was very knowlegable and helpful. I had the Duck Duck Demi which as totally great and she had the Ribs. All delicious. A great dinner to celebrate our anniversary.

LUISA FERNANDEZ

party of 4 and we all enjoyed ore dinner meals. staff are kind.

Jamie Davidson

Great food, great service. Excellent views from the balcony.

patrishajoy guevarra

Aboslutely outstanding view + staff, this place is a great place to have a fine dining. The only "problem" (or concern) I have is when you're at the open patio (ocean side) these flying insects often like to hang out with your food, so you have to constantly use your hands to blow them away. This restaurant is definitely a win-win (price was worth it) nonetheless!

Tiffany Rippa

Fusion food, a bar, sushi menu, and dinner on the deck facing Hilo bay. Enjoy a drink and pupus at the bar. It is wise to make reservations online before arriving.

Babette Mohan

Good food, good prices, good service. What more can you ask for? P.S. You better make reservations or you'll be lucky to get in under 45 min.

Kristine Eastling

The best mahi mahi fish and chips we have ever had! Lovely small salad accompaniment! Spectacular setting indoors or out! Service superb.

Rama Jo

This review is more pointed at Hilo Bay Cafes cocktails and bar. Short and sweet. They have some of the most delicious cocktails I have ever tasted with wonderfully, friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. They are actually reasonably priced, not cheap but not out of control. It is an absolute treat to go and relax and have a cocktail with the amazing view. I may do a later review on food but so far I am in love with their Bao buns off of the appetizer menu. So Ono.

Robert Bona

The View the food and the restaurant are all first class

krista caldwell

Service was great, people seemed to really enjoy working there.

Chris Barry

Wonderful food, outside dining with pleasant view of the bay.

Douglas Calvert

Original chef back and food is improved greatly. Delicious. Wonderful view, upscale feel and courteous and helpful staff. Nice little gem in Hilo Town.

Jason Brown

Great food. Great views. Seafood is fresh from the market next door. Sushi is amazing here.

Ben Hargis

Great food options and flavor. The views are awesome and the best you'll get in Hilo. Service was very good.

Steve Ingalsbe

We love the place! We eat here at least once a month and usually ask for an outside table. The staff is fast and friendly and the food is locally sourced. It is quite busy during lunch and dinner hours and reservation's are strongly suggested but they always try to accommodate people without reservations. Make sure you ask for the daily specials because some servers do not offer the info. The fish and chips are always made with the fresh catch of the day so ask what it is. This is also the best sushi bar in Hilo!

Ann Maria Thomas

Food was so delicious. Good and ambience. Great outdoor view. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

JAked Again

Noce modern good price and location

Tommy Sea

Nice place. Good and fair priced menu.

Krystle De Los Santos

The food was pretty good. Popcorn was kind of stale.

Spencer Ahuna

Friendly and professional staff, amazing view, delicious food.

Elias Putzig

Excellent drinks and vegan options. The minto is now mu favorite mojito. The sushi bowl was amazing, and the quinoa burger is crispy, deep fried and satisfying.

John brandeberry

Call ahead and get reservations outside. One of the best views 9f the Hilo Bay. Food is great and very delicious.

Vic Olbromski

We had the best meal here whilst in Hawaii for 2 weeks. The sushi and sashimi was delicious - the edible fern sushi was surprisingly good! The braised brussel sprouts with mushrooms were not what we expected at all and simply delicious. They were also very accommodating for gluten free options and had a great understanding of it. Not only was the food amazing but the cocktails were just spot-on! We tried nearly every single one on the menu. Even though they were busy, our waiter was very attentive between serving and making cocktails. Great value too, considering the level of quality they were plating up.

Natasha Stucker

Excellent food and they went out of their way to accommodate a very picky eater.

Bonnie Beaver

This is a special place. Great view of Hilo bay. The food is so good! Very nice place.

Brandy Shymanski

O. M. G. Amazing food, drinks, service and view. Must get the hele mai tai..!

Colin Alder

Great food with a creative flair. Full bar and one of the best views in Hilo.

TOM FOLEY

Wow, during a long day on our around the Big Island journey, we happened upon the Hilo Bay Cafe after seeing Rainbow Falls, and were SO glad we did. Fish was perfectly prepared, salad crisp, and the hummus plate was fabulous! Setting is amazing, great view, cool breeze, alooooooha, team was accommodating, friendly and sought to make our visit enjoyable. It’s definitely a $$ but worth it! This was the perfect final stop before the final drive around to Kona.

Christopher Zaloga

Probably my favorite spot in Hilo. Especially love sitting at the bar. Great cocktails and good beers. Pot Pie is my favorite.

Gabriela Alburquerque

I had lunch here, despite the mega rainy day, food was great.

Gloria Ching

Food for everyone here. Meat lovers, seafood lovers. Good service. When we arrived at our table there was a small bowl of very salty popcorn. And it showed up on the bill for $3 dollars. A bit of a rip since it was there like bread at an Italian restaurant ...

Lisa LeFevre

Tables on the lanai afford the best view of Hilo Bay. Great food and good drinks. There is nothing on the menu that isn't delicious. Vegan and gluten free items. Attentive knowledgeable wait staff, excellent handling of allergies. There are only a handful of really good restaurants in Hilo and this is one of our favorites for lunch or dinner. Easy parking, and an elevator in the back if the stairs are too much. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation because there can be long waits.

mary munoz

Expensive, small portions fir the price.. service was great though.

Sarah L

Excellent food, excellent view. Very clean, very nice atmosphere; extremely well-kept. One of the few places Hilo side that have a good selection of vegetarian options much to my sister's delight. A bit pricey, though.

Dylan Giebel

Our server was a bit rude and the food was massively overpriced, with small portions and not a lot of flavor. Drinks were pretty good and view was great.

ginger hall

Great food, friendly staff. Sophisticated design. Great bay views. Can't wait to go again.

Eric Shanaver

Awesome drinks, great bartenders and a very cool atmosphere.

Shawna Paakaula

Great cocktails. Loved the lavender infused tequila margarita! Food is superb, high quality at a very reasonable price. Beautiful, classy atmosphere. Appetizers are soooo yummy too.

Carla Womack

Nice atmosphere and good food. Could use some classical music.

Heather Godsey

I love this place. The view, the wait staff, the food, all of it's wonderful.

Sally Massey

Very pleasant evening. Except there is no AC and August has been an extremely warm and humid month. Was hoping for a little relief from the heat but didnt get much. My meal was delicious, I had the chicken with Polenta, my husband had the Fish(MahiMahi) and Chips. Our meal was $72 including 2 glasses of wine. Some won't say that was expensive but I thought it was.

Emily McCarthy

Wonderful food and a beautiful view. I came for lunch with family, the bread, fried chicken, kahlua pork, fish and chips and sashimi were AMAZING!!!

Jenny

This was a recommendation from our AirBnb host. It was way good. It’s a little on the pricey side. But the food tastes great. I got the surf & turf. It tasted fresh and amazing. And we also go the Eggplant Parmesan appetizer. It’s AMAZING.

jesse jackson

An almost hidden gem. Peacful atmosphere

David Fringer

Delicious and relatively inexpensive dining in a beautiful location. I was told "best fish & chips in Hilo" and they were right. Highly recommended.

Nancy Rieger

FYI...if u order fish and chips grilled..you get 1 piece.....if you order fried..you get 4 pieces !!! Hard to understand that and they didn't tell us when we ordered--- same price... beautiful setting

Don Waguespack

Great food and great service, 5 stars aren't enough.

River

Great lunch spot for sitting on the patio

Tabish Husain

Love the food, amazing atmosphere as well. One of the best fish and chips I've had.

Sandra

Great food with alot of local ingredients, nice view.

Michael O'Sullivan

Food as good as the view. Great drinks and the yellow curry pot pie is fabulous.

Steven c. Spitz

The best sushi

Walter Carvalho

Took awhile but great food.

Kelvin Tay

Exceptional food and service. My fish of the day was ono and broke the mouth :)

Care Murakami

Service was friendly, just a little slow. Food was yummy.

Bernard Nogues

The best view in Hilo. Friendly staff. The chef might learn some day that cuisine is more than adding spices to everything. We live on the island and of course we will be back

Ayzlynn Clark

Good, but pricey

janiece maxwell

Outstanding!.... The service, the views and the great food.

Eric Eugene

Great service. Great locally sourced food. Totally recommend!

Mark Noneman

2nd time here and excellent again! Great eatery with a great view of Hilo Bay.

Judith Weitz

Chris was our waiter, super friendly and cool looking waxed mustache. The service, ambiance, and food were top notch. Favorite drink, Ginger Cove

Julia Cassen

I made our reservation on open table, I requested a bay view table and got one for our party of five. That was awesome, it's a beautiful view!! The service was excellent. The food was delicious but portions are way too small, especially considering how pricey the menu is. Btw, I'm a 100 lb woman, not a big eater. Great location for a romantic meal for sure.

Hans Petersen

Good food and good service, amazing location. Prices are fair, atmosphere is a tad pretentious, but sometimes I'm in the mood for that.

DucFanDan

Nice place, great location, friendly staff, and fantastic food. Had a grilled Ahi with curried veggies that was perfectly prepared, promptly served, and absolutely delicious. Be prepared, there can be a wait for seating. For one or two you might be able to skip the wait if you're willing to sit at the bar. If you need a table, I still think it's worth the wait.

Justin Remington

Very popular lunch and dinner spot in Hilo. I do recommend making reservations because it can get busy. I had the catch of the day fish and chips and it was totally awesome. Outstanding service and great food are taken very seriously here. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone in search of great food in a unique atmosphere on Hilo Bay.

Ray S

Hilo Bay Cafe is beautifully appointed in blonde wood, the food is quite good, cocktails creative, staff professional and attentive. All of this added up to one of the most miserable dining experiences ever. Why? The dining room was so unbearably hot and uncomfortable that it was all we could do to finish our meal before fainting. The manager explained the building has no air conditioning. Despite the armada of ceiling fans, warm nights will not be a pleasant experience. If it's hot, and the trade winds are not blowing, cancel your reservation and dine elsewhere.

Tizzo 82

Food was so good. The Waitress, Madison was excellent, she was very kind, patient, (since we had a large group) and thorough with our orders. I would definitely go back

Rayce Barnes

Beautiful view, good service. I ordered fish and chips. ($20) The portion size(approx. 4oz) for that price was quite small and the fish was over cooked and dry. Others in my group had a better experience. But small portion sizes seemed to be the trend. The surf and turf bowl had good quality meats ($30). My wife ordered a strawberry coconut soda.($6) It was worth every penny, delicious.

Jim Manion

Had the hamburger and it was very good.

Joey Kaniaupio

Great food..good times here

Paul Martinez

Service was excellent but the portions were small. I am still hungry!

Siamak Sobhany

It's a modern cafe and bar with great views. They welcome everyone with a cup of popcorn. Quality of the food was good but portions were too small. We are thin with average appetite but we left here still hungry after spending $70 on food.

Parker

Loved the fish n chips, staff very welcoming and nice

Duane Carvalho

Very good food with great service and setting. The views are dramatic. Will go again.

Alex Chiba

We found this place while waiting to kill some time before checking into our AirBNB and I'm glad we did. The cocktails were great and the food that we had (the fish and chips) was really, really good. We didn't have a full meal here just because of the timing but I look forward to coming back next time I'm in Hilo. The space and location is really nice too.

Carol Timmons

Set outside overlooking Hilo Bay the service was excellent the food was outstanding

Charlene C

Very nice place to eat. I had the Strawberry Coconut juice, sushi and mushroom pot pie. All were very delicious.

Jeremy Bowlin

Excellent service. Generous portions. Kind staff. This place is amazing! I am coming back fo sure.

R. Barton Henderson

Best view if Hilo Bay from a restaurant. Great food in quality and taste.

Lynda Ono

More on the pricy side, but overall quality is good

M. Park

It was a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Delicious food and great views.

E Dekonor

Great clean mid to upscale dining. Friendly faces of the staff. Great view. Food is tasty. Great accommodations for large families and groups.

Amanda Alvarado

Delicious food, great staff, and beautiful views. Great options for everyone on the menu.

Greer Mckeen

Great food

Kendrick Davis

Wonderful food for a discrimiating traveler. We were a group of 7 people, both local and tourist. We all enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. We are planning to return again.

Jill K Quaintance

Great birthday dinner celebration!

Caroline Murray

Great drinks and view, food was so so

C & J Frey

Very happy we tried the Hilo Bay Cafe. We stopped for lunch and our group had chicken sandwich, fish and chips, adult grilled cheese and a beer salad and everyone loved what they ordered. Good to make reservations if you can.

Jay Sheely

Hit or miss place. Lovely atmosphere although the bar waitress talked to her friend mostly. Side salad was pretty sad. I think I've been here 5 times overall. Two were great, two were good enough and one was a bummer.

Samuel Wallingford

Phenomal sushi, literally fall off the bone and eat with chopsticks ribs with generous portion sizes. Great service, upscale decor, and a fantastic view. Easily the best money I've spent on food on the big island.

Laurie Dunlap

Oh my goodness.... This place was amazing. Excellent gluten free options and a phenomenal view of Hilo Bay.

Lisa Marie

Great food! Sushi rolls fantastic! Waitress could have been better but food was really good. Drinks great too. Nice ambiance, good background music. I would definitely visit again.

Robin Hiebler

GREAT FRESH FISH AND CHIPS BEST SUSHI ANYWHERE!!!

Sj Y

This review is not based on the meal. The lunch was fine. I just wanted to warn other patrons to be very careful going up and down those stairs. I feel lucky because it could have been worse. I slipped on the stairs today and am still bleeding and very sore. We come here every time we visit, never going back there again. Why never? Still charged me full price and were more worried about a lawsuit than my injuries.

Jennifer Sharp

Hands down my all time favourite restaurant. The grass fed beef burger is a must have. That being said I came back multiple times and tried multiple dishes and all were exceptional. The view and location are amazing - as much as I wish I could keep this place all to myself I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

Cliff Spencer

Very good food and a great location.

Don Sien

Usually very good service and food albeit small portions. Today had fresh mahimahi fish and chips and chicken pot pie, her favorite menu item. Fries a little salty, fish fresh but a little greasy and only 5 small pieces and pot pie was very good with a bit of curry in it. Shaun our server was very good and attentive.

Elizabeth Sepke

Very good food :) Modern decor made for nice, pretty atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice bartenders. Took a while for a table w.reservation on NYE - might have been short handed, but sat at bar and that worked out great.

pat magarity

Friday evening no reservations and they were able to seat us quickly. Wait staff was great. Food was good and prices were reasonable.

zynab ali

Lovely food. Get a seat outside and enjoy the view

Jason Owen

Best view and food in Hilo. The service is great and always prompt .

Robert Grey

A fun place to visit with great food.

Jed Boyd

Good view and good food. Great quick stop for lunch.

Zen Tragorran

So disappointed, after hearing how good this place was, I have been looking forward to going. We arrived late-afternoon, plenty of staff, very few customers. We were ignored for 10 minutes while the desk clerk chatted on the phone. Then another 10 minutes while she 'prepared a table' for us. No warm aloha spirit here. The staff were inauthentic, unwelcoming, distracted and unaware, banging past our table (on the lanai, plenty of other routes to take) repeatedly as a chosen thoroughfare. The chairs are uncomfortable molded plastic and the food left a lot to be desired. Am hoping that we happened to go at an unfortunate moment, NOT prepared to go again to find out. What a shambles! Give it a miss, there are other, better restaurants in Hilo!

Kei Jee

Good food. Nice views

Nancy Detiveaux

Great place for food and drinks. Bartenders are awesome as well.

GoodVibeVillage

Great service and drinks, food is also really good however I do wish they updated it more often and actually had a different lunch and dinner menu would be nice for the locals

Marcella Stroh

Great ambience & view on a moonlight night from the balcony of Hilo Bay is outstanding & very romantic. Can't beat that, bonus the food is also very satisfying & tasty. Great service except the wait even with reservations is still 15 minutes +, but really worth the wait for Hilo.

Ken Boyer

Great food and drinks.

Andrena Forrest

Fantastic place with great views. Fish and chips were divine. Highly recommended and only Five minutes from the airport

Jess J

Excellent food. Wait staff was very kind and polite. The cocktails were delicious, fresh rosemary! We had sushi and sashimi, can’t believe how big the pieces of sashimi were for just $8 and so tasty. I would definitely come here again.

Beth Norwick

Very good food & service

Rebecca Lemker

The food and drinks are amazing here and the view is incredible! The spicy poke was phenomenal! My husband forgot his credit card and the staff was so nice and gracious helping him find it. We are so grateful and we will definitely return next time we visit the big island!! Mahalo!!

Shea Coleman

Food was delicious, great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Sohrab Saeb

Sushi was great. Very good ambience and views too.

Robert Jantz

This place is !@#$%^& amazing.

Kimberly Nelson

Excellent service and taro quinoa veggie burger

Janet Parise

My family had the most amazing first experience. We came for dinner and my adult children are extremely picky eaters. They ordered off of the kids menu the sliders, chicken fingers and the best Mac and cheese EVER!!! The only disappointment was that I wanted to try the scallops, but they were out. However, my husband and I enjoyed our meals and felt it was the best we had on the island. Our downfall was going back for lunch.... My husband and I wanted to try a new restaurant, but my children enjoyed it so much that we were talked into going back 2 days later for lunch. The hostess clearly needs a lesson in customer service. We were told it would be approximately a 30 minute wait. After 25 minutes and 5 families that came in after us being seated before us I simply asked, How much longer would it be?" The hostess responded, "I said 30 minutes and it will be 30 minutes." At that point, I said that it seemed like it has been 30 minutes and she said you only waited 25 minutes so you have some more time, don't you...I should have walked out. We waited an additional 15 minutes and another 3 families were seated (all stating they did not have reservations.) We were finally seated and it took 35 minutes to get our drinks. When we tried to order, we were told that we could not order off the kid's menu. The hostess came over to tell us it was an oversight the night before and to figure something else out. I offered to pay additional and she said no. After 5 minutes and us almost walking out she said they could serve us an adult size Mac and cheese and an adult size chicken fingers.... Not sure why she could not have started with that but it felt like she needed to caused a issue that could have been avoided. By the way.. the adult size was the EXACT same size as the kids!!! (Which we offered to pay more to simply get what we would like!)

nathan anderson

Great food and service. Be sure to stop by when you're here!

Andreana Soares

Such a Beautiful place. My friend made reservations a day in advance and reserved a booth too. Food was delicious

Louella Ellazar

Awesome place to dine and unwind! Excellent food and drinks, always satisfies my taste buds!!!

amber elving

Great service, yummy popcorn appetizer and the fish was SO FRESH. Definitely worth checking out for a fancy night out by the ocean.

Brian Williams

I had the hamskua mushroom pot pie. Delicious!

Teri Wolff

Wow!!! I had the fish and chips which featured swordfish .. normally I shy away from this fish but I’m glad I took the waiter Chris’s recommendation... absolutely delicious and the gin and grapefruit cocktail was outstanding. This place is not to be missed and I’m pretty sure Chris has the best handle bar mustache on the island. Service wasnothing short of perfection and he stated he was normally behind the bar ... either place you encounter him .. it’s going to be a great experience.

Thomas Summerlin

Hilo bay cafe is my favorite restaurant in Hilo. Me and my girlfriend enjoy it there so much. Food is excellent the staff is on point so friendly. It a must go to if you come to Hilo

Chen Subramanian

It was good food with Hawaii twist to the flavour.

Deanna Ramos-Kia Tupua

The food was so ono! I cant wait to eat here again!

Page Kusch-Johnson

Great place. Food was delicious!

Penny Teehee

Best original cocktails in town!

Quinn Mueller

Enjoyed our lunch. Poke was great, just so ya know spicy means very spicy. Ono fish and chips were juicy n perfectly cooked. Burger was great. Fun ginger cumcumber drink was yummy although kinda small (cute Collins glass) for the price. Service was good, never ran out of water or waited excessively for anything. Definitely will return. Cool view on their deck overlooking hilo town n mauna kea misty mountain top. I'd bet a great spot for those days they get a good sunset too.

Harry Pomerleau

Overpriced is a not a good place to start because if it were excellent the price would not be a problem. From the hostess to the server the staff was not ready to serve, rather I felt like myself and my guest were an inconvenience. Half a dozen open tables but the wait was 20 minutes. My guest does have special dietary requests but isn't that why you choose a restaurant like this? After discussing options that would have been excellent if they cooked it in olive oil instead of canola oil the response was " can I start you with something?" Couldn't ask the chef? I ordered the fish and chips, should have been easy. By the breading and the fries the oil was not hot enough, resulting in limp, oily food. We didn't risk dessert. Sadly I will have to not recommend HBC and I say that with no pleasure, so many people say hilo's food scene is lacking and with offerings like this I have to agree.

Kim Keahiolalo

Lovely view of Hilo Bay and fun eclectic food and drinks.

Jason Wornom

Very trendy cafe with great food and great views. Located on the 2nd floor, it delivers a very relaxing atmosphere with the option for outdoor dining. The view of the bay is beautiful and paired with the relaxing atmosphere makes for a wonderful dining experience. The staff is very friendly and attentive. If you like French Onion soup you have to try it here. Definitely some of the best I've had. My group also had the fresh catch fish & chips, crab cake salad, pimento grilled cheese sandwich, and a few fresh sushi rolls. ZERO complaints!! I highly recommend this place for lunch.

Sandrine Dreeny

Wonderful restaurant and staff with fine food, rare and well chosen pairing wines. Our best dining experience yet in Hawaii and definitively best dining spot in Hilo.

DMXRACR

Food was amazing and the service was on point!

R. Lee Donaldson

Food was very good here. Excellent quality and well presented. Portions were good sized as well. Staff were friendly and professional which added to the experience. The place is a step up from most of the dinning in Hilo, so if you like a better dining experience, this is the place to go. One thing is that it is very popular, so make your reservations in advance.

Cody Moskop

This was a surprisingly fancy upscale place that didn't disappoint. Nice and clean, good food and drinks with a friendly staff and nice view of the ocean.

Harry Miley

This place is a gem. We arrived at 4 for a snack, had a couple teas and sushi rolls: all excellent, excellent service. Total w/tip: $27. Plus: beautiful view of the bay, outside seating under cover, and a lush park across the street to walk it off. Harry

River Lotus

Beautiful views. Amazing chef and creative menu. Drinks on the lanai cant be beat. The bartenders are wonderful. This is a romantic dining experience.

Mike Ball

I had a few people tell that should eat here. I was completely disappointed. The service was slow. We sat down and didn't see our waiter for at least 10 minutes. I ordered the ribs. I have had a lot of different ribs in my life but these were the worst. I could hardly eat them. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing and I caught them on a bad day. Either way, I will not go back anytime soon.
