A
Seaside Restaurant
The calling card of this local institution is that its mullet and aholehole (flagtail) are raised in its own fish ponds. The traditional preparation (steamed in ti leaves) is good, but 'Chinese-style' is a flavorful variation. If it has moi - order it. This reef fish was once reserved for Hawaiian royalty and it's delectably soft. The view is nice, but you're here for the fish, not the so-so ambience and uneven service.

Ke'ei Café
Widely renowned as one of the best restaurants on the island, Ke'ei is the spot for quality and flavor in an unpretentious environment. Off the main tourist track, this family-friendly restaurant eclectically blends Asian flavors, island fruits and the occasional Brazilian approach. Seafood is the focus here, though veggie dishes and other meats round out the constantly changing menu. Reservations are recommended for dinner.

Kawaihae Seafood Bar
This charismatic upper-floor Seafood Bar is the best spot in town for a drink, or a lighter meal than you'll find at its partner, the Harbor Grill. The long bar has a thatched cover and good ocean-themed decor. The entree salads, poke burger and ginger steamed clams are favorites.

Kawaihae Harbor Grill
The Grill is housed in an early-20th-century general store building with cute interior decor, and it's a local favorite. Fresh seafood is the specialty, appearing in omelets in the morning and tasty dishes such as a red Thai curry in the evening.
