We had an excellent seafood pasta dish and good salad. Go for the food, but don't expect much of the service or setting. Setting is average - too loud to sit outside with traffic from road. The service was poor - waitress brought wrong salad and then charged us for it. She was cheerful, but seemed out of it -... More 

This restaurant was recommended to us and are we glad we checked it out! Laid back friendly service and the food was to die for. Had the ahi catch of the day chefs special - it had a delicious mango reduction. Dessert (coconut flan and Mac nut pie) was also great. Can't fault anything, my partner and I both left... More 

We really enjoyed the service and the fresh catch of the day was the BEST!!!!! Wow! I'll be coming back here soon.

Wonderful dinner; we both ordered the Spearfish special...it was delicious. We 1st tried this restaurant back in 2009, & try to return each time we are in Kona.

The Ke'ei Cafe was highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. It has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, with a view of Kealakekua Bay. The service was good and the food excellent.

Food was very good. Laid back atmosphere. They take credit cards now. Server didn't take drinks order while we looked at menus. We had to take silverware from another table. Not big complaints, but just because there are only 2 tables eating doesn't men you can get careless

GoogleMaps not very helpful in finding this place but oh so good when found! The ginger lemonade was very refreshing. Salads were beautiful and crisp. The Mahi Mahi with orange-mango sauce was perfect as were the baked pork chops. The serving were plentiful so dessert had to be skipped. The waitress was delightful...very attentive but not bothersome. Prices were extremely... More 

Best meal on the island. Not a tourist spot . Great food, service, and wine. Fit for foodies. Fresh food, individual service and family owned. I have been all over the big island and this is the best place I have dined.

I have been coming to Ke'ei Cafe for 20+ years and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful. This time around I had the ahi with lemon caper butter sauce with whipped potatoes and mixed veggies. It was gone in a flash as usual. Had tropical bread pudding and it was delicious. Reservations...
