I took my husband and 2 children (5 yrs and 8 yrs old) to the Hualalai Grille for dinner. We were celebrating my husband's 39th birthday. We had a table overlooking the golf course and it was quite spectacular. My husband really appreciated the view since he is an avid golfer. From start to finish, service was wonderful. It was... more

I had the tasting menu, everything in it was great..but there was one item..the soup and sandwich, God that was good. I would explain, but really, there is no point, just go. more

We just returned from staying one month on the Big Island on the south Kohala Coast. Alan Wong's Hualalai Grille is by far the best of the best. We have eaten twice in his restaurant in Honolulu and it's now something we don't want to miss. The Hualalai Grille lives up to our expectations. From appetizer to dessert, everything was... more

The Hualalai Grille is nestled in the gorgeous surroundings of the world-class Four Seasons Hualalai. My husband & I dined here last week & absolutely loved every delectable morsel. Our dinner was enjoyed al fresco & the service was exactly what you would expect from this 5-star restaurant. He ordered the Dinner Tasting Menu consisting of a 7-course meal which... more

This was definitely one of the best meals we had on any of the islands. The staff was extremely knowlegeable when helping us properly pair our vino with our meals. The meats were perfectly seasoned and cooked and the desserts were not only beautiful to look at but were just as great tasting! Definitely will go back if we make... more

I'm born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii and have been living in Kona for the last 6 years. Decided to go to the Hualalai Grille at the Four Seasons @ Hualalai for Christmas Dinner. We were trying to get a reservation for Imari restaurant at the Hilton Waikoloa but after 3 tries and half an hour on... more

Alan Wong's Hualalai Grille is arguably the best restaurant on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is located on the lovely grounds of what is inarguably the best hotel in the state (and a consistent "world's best"), the Four Seasons Hualalai. While it is not oceanfront, it is situated beautifully overlooking the golf course with the ocean in the distance.... more

My husband and I dined here for our last night on the Big Island. It was a great way to end the trip. I had seen pictures of the restaurants on the Four Seasons website and it didn't look all that nice, but it's absolutely beautiful with a hip vibe to it at night. We loved it! more

Four of us ate at virtually all the highly recommended upscale restaurants on the Big Island, and the Hualalai Grille was by far the best. Two had the tasting menu with wine selections, one the tasting menu ($69) without wine and one ordered a la carte. Every course was superb, with wonderfully fresh ingredients and inventive combinations. An example is... more
