Canoehouse - Piatti

I live on the Big Island year-round and have eaten at Canoe House multiple times. The food, service, and ambiance are exceptional. However, with the recent price hikes, Canoe House has become one of the priciest restaurants on the Big Island, and they do not provide any kama'aina discounts.

Wonderful dinner to celebrate an event. Amazing and friendly service. Aulike was exceptional. We ordered the chefs meal on her recommendation. We were not disappointed. Thank you, Aulike! The pacing of the meal was just right. Will definitely come again and will request to sit at Aulike's section.

Breathtaking views and bragging rights is what you pay for. $30 for a very bland garden salad (lettuce with Parmesan cheese), very small portion entrees between $60-$100- not worth it. We left hungry. We have been to way better Oceanside restaurants throughout the world. Very pretentious place to eat. Expensive does not mean better here. Visualizza piatti

A beautiful setting is the main draw but the food and services were also very good. The scallops were fantastic, all 3 of them! Mahi Mahi was really nice too. It's hard to place a value rating on the experience, if you're looking for value, keep looking. I always go to the Canoe House once each time we are here and will go next time too.

We are thrilled that we chose to treat ourselves at this restaurant—it's undoubtedly the best dinner we've had on the Big Island, and we've been searching! The food was incredibly delicious, the service was knowledgeable and attentive, and the location was absolutely stunning. We also really appreciated the impressive wine list. Highly recommend!

Speechless, it was truly fabulous.... Seriously exquisite food (we did the chef's tasting menu— what a lovely way to enjoy food and company) gentle aesthetic atmosphere and a waiter that made us feel like we knew him from somewhere (the whole service team was so good I hesitate to call it service— more like very gracious hosting). If life is good to us, we'll be back. ?? Visualizza piatti

Like many resort restaurants in Hawaii, Canoe House makes a strong effort to promote itself as a unique farm-to-table dining experience. However, I noticed several diners, particularly men, seemed confused by the menu options. My recommendation would be to forgo dinner and instead opt for a few appetizers and a cocktail, enjoy the sunset, and then head somewhere else for your main meal.

My kids called ahead of time to pay for dessert for their dad's birthday celebration. The restaurant did not comply with this simple request. We called back the next to alert them of this error, gave a call back number and still haven't heard from them. For such a nice restaurant that has a high service model, you should expect a simple request like this to be filled. Or at a minimum call us to let us know it's not possible.

We had a wonderful experience dining at Canoe House on a Friday evening. I was with my daughter, her husband and their almost 3 year old daughter. Fine dining with a three year old is challenging, but the staff made us feel welcome and catered to her needs. We asked for a red blend wine to start our dinner and we were told by the waitress they just got some bottles in but it wasn't on the wine list yet. She went out of her way to retrieve a glass for the three of us from a brand new bottle. It was a lovely compliment to the wonderful dinner we had! A nice relaxing evening! Visualizza piatti
