Great fish tacos. I appreciated the efficiency of their waitlist process (got on the list via OpenTable) and showed up to be seated when they texted me. Very efficient!

Wonderful service and beautiful views. They close very early, so not for the late night crowd. Food was very good.

We had a fantastic dining experience at lava lava! What a gorgeous spot on A Bay! We had a delicious dinner while watching a beautiful sunset! The food was very delicious! The poke nachos were delicious and fresh! And the mahi mahi catch of the day was scrumptious! I loved the coconut Mai tai! Jax was a great server!

We went on our anniversary . We were staying next door at the four seasons where we ate at Ulu the previous night. I wrote to the restaurant ahead of time and they were expecting us with a wonderful greeting a spectacular table and wonderful welcoming vibe. The view of the sunset was amazing ! The food was good. Overall a great experience . Thank you Kaitlin and our server whose name I apologize I don't recall both awesome!

    Wonderful experience! We had the fresh catch and the fish tacos, and both of our dishes were made with Ono. Both were absolutely delicious. My husband had the fresh catch and is one of the people who always leaves some food on his plate, but all that remained was a slice of lemon, lol Our waiter was very friendly, extremely helpful with our menu choices, and gave us just the right amount attention. The music was delightful and not too loud. Considering we were at a lovely restaurant on the Big Island of Hawaii, the prices were reasonable. We plan to return before our vaca ends.
