This little restaurant is a hidden jewel and blessing to the Big Island. I STRONGLY recommend to anyone needing a place to eat that is reasonably priced and of generous portions, MAKE A RESERVATION, and getting here for an absolutely delicious meal! This is on another level. My wife and I shared the calamari appetizer and they were unlike anything I have ever had before. The texture was like fine steak, & of generous portion. The attached pic is is Mahi Mahi, crusted with macadamia nut and panko crumbs, buttered squash and zucchini with the finest brown rice I’ve ever consumed. Our waiter was very helpful, interested and professional. This supper was more an extraordinary culinary experience.

Enjoyed a delicious meal of fresh fish overlooking actual fish ponds. Service was excellent. Nathan was very attentive. Everything we ordered was perfect. Especially liked the homemade bread pudding with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Great location and great food. I went for one of the waitress’s recommendations and ordered the Chinese style steamed fish and it was delicious.

The Seaside Restaurant is perfection! From the moment I walked in the atmosphere was terrific, the food magnificent and the view incredible. This will definitely be at the top of my picks for date nights. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a prime rib that could have been better. Ordered medium rare but was more like well done. But won’t stop me from trying again. Enjoy walking around below checking out the fish ponds. Great service for how busy they are which is normal for this place.

Seaside is a tremendously charming little restaurant. Built in a converted house, they offer some absolutely fabulous food and cocktails. The teriyaki butterfish was perfectly crispy on the outside and flaky and moist on the inside. The mashed potatoes were light and flavorful, and the veggies were sautéed deceptively well given their unimpressive appearance. The Mai Tai was a tad on the sweet side, but not really a bad thing and overall quite enjoyable. The lilikoi lemon drop was also fantastic. Everyone here is super nice, and it’s definitely worth a visit for a nice night out.

Busy on a Sunday at 6 PM, but the wait for two was only about five minutes. The people were nice, service was good, menu was diverse and reasonable. The scampi, New England Clam Chowder, and rolls were also good. We split the meal and were pleasantly full. We would come back.

Fresh catch is always changing, and is always Ono. I prefer Chinese style but can get grilled. Reservation is always easier.

Wonderful local restaurant. Modest looking place out and inside but don’t let that stop you from tasting the most delicious food you will have in Hilo. Service was fast and staff were helpful and attentive. 100% recommended. Chilean seabas, Salmon with mushroom sauce were delicious, and their signature dessert the bread putting with icecream and coconut sauce were fantastic.
