7 Word on the Str(eat)! Bay Terrace “Excellent breakfast buffet, and stellar service. Prices are reasonable for the resort area, and the food quality was definitely above average.” Eric W. Minneapolis, MN Foster’s Kitchen “My husband and I finally got around to trying Foster’s Kitchen for dinner this evening and what a delightful experience. We both decided on the blackened shrimp with cheese grits, and chard with bacon all topped with a fried egg. The shrimp was lightly seasoned, the cheese grits very creamy and the chard very flavorful with the smoky bacon. This entree was a great choice for our first dinner at Foster’s. We started our meal with gin martinis which were perfect and ended the meal with Tahitian vanilla ice cream and Kona coffee ( Keurig). We had great service.....thank you Rebekah. We also appreciated the manager, Kyle Mishiyama, as well as the owner,Jeff Foster,checking in with us asking how we like our entrees. They both explained that are trying to give diners a little different choice as far as the menu selections. My husband has celiac disease requiring gluten free options which Foster’s Kitchen can easily accommodate as some of the menu selections are made with gluten-free ingredients such as corn starch or cornmeal. My husband is looking forward to trying the fish and chips next time. We will be back.” kiana59 Kailua-Kona Habañeros Grill “I’ve driven past this location dozens of times and had never stopped to check it out. It always looked like your typical Ali’i Drive ‘bar & grill’ kind of place. My wife and I just needed to take care of our ‘just landed’ hunger pangs, so we decided this place would be just as good (or bad) as any. We were expecting some plain and ordinary, run of the mill, ‘out of the can’ Mexican food. Why we decided to try something a little more out of the norm is a still a mystery to us, but we ordered a couple of seafood dishes expecting the worst... and WHOA! After the first few bites, I was like, “This is some of the most delicious food I’ve had on this island”! * delicious ceviche verde - fresh, spicy, bright and flavorful with just the right balance of everything * great selection of Mexican beers & tequilas * Casey our server was awesome! * seafood enchiladas were amazing, the sauce tasted like a lobster/scallop bisque * seafood poblano was fantastic, stuffed full of crab, scallops & fish, in a delicious sauce * food arrived in a timely manner at the perfect, i mean perfect, temperature! Apparently, the owner and chef of Habaneros has studied and trained with multi-award winning chef Rick Bayless, whose Mexican restaurant “Red O” in Los Angeles is one of our favorites! What a wonderful surprise to stumble upon this gem on the Kona coast. We loved it so much, we ate there THREE times during our week stay. Habaneros will now be our go-to first stop on our future returns to the island. CHEERS!” Erick L. Santa Clarita, CA Haleo Luau “If you find yourself on Big Island on the Kona side, take the opportunity to experience the Sheraton Kona’s Haleo Luau. Aunty Tutu is a warm and all-encompassing woman in her 70s who holds the whole story together weaving stories of Hawaii’s history together with excellent dancers and singers, great musical accompaniment and a fire eater too. The buffet is excellent with traditional Hawaiian fare - all held under the starry skies on the Hawaiian lawn. Don’t miss this happy Polynesian experience.” Shirwell Robyn K, Cape Town Central, South Africa Royal Thai Cafe “Incredible service. My water was never empty and we were so well taken care of! I had the Pad Thai and my friend had the mixed rice, we also split the spring rolls and had left overs of our dinner (which is rare for me with Pad Thai!!) Excellent food and flavors!  The restaurant is also nicely decorated and very clean.” Laura K.
