    Fantastic all around! Our best meal on the Big Island by a mile. All the staff were amazing and so caring - service was phenomenal, very friendly and our wait staff made all the right suggestions. At sunset there isn’t a better place to be on the big island than Canoe House!

    It was our second time there, and if possible it was better than the first… And that is a hard thing to achieve because the first time was exquisite. This time equally as exquisite only with even more variety and interesting things to try. We had lunch this time versus our previous visit where we had dinner. Everything was so fresh and so perfectly constructed. The atmosphere is amazing and the service was the best we’ve ever known. We will be back again and again..
