Outstanding food, service, and views The food, service, and views were all outstanding. My wife had the macadamia crusted halibut and I had the abalone special. The food was perfectly prepared and the portions were generous. Our server Jerry was great, too.

Top experience We booked Fog Harbor (SF) and this place expecting them to be similar. However, Fish Hopper blew Fog Harbor out of the water from our experience.

We thought the food was a step up, the service was better, the atmosphere less hectic but the real clincher was the wildlife views. There were seals and sea otters all over the place and one sea otter came right over to the window, dived down, grabbed a big red crab and floated off ripping its legs off. Pure National Geographic stuff from the dinner table. Would recommend in a heartbeat. ...READ LESS

We found The Fish Hopper and it became our favorite “go-to” restaurant the food was excellent, the staff always friendly, and we loved the ocean view! When the cruise ship dropped anchor in Kona this week, the first thing I did was go looking for The Fish Hopper! It did not disappoint! It was wonderful to discover that it is still there, and just as excellent as I had remembered. The Crab, Avocado and Cheese omelette is the best I’ve ever had, yummy crab in literally every bite! Tobi was friendly, kept the coffee coming, and kindly answered my questions and chatted with me about memories. If you find yourself in Kona looking for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a dinner, I highly recommend you try The Fish Hopper! ...READ LESS

We had the Calamari appetizer. It was the perfect size to split with 2-3 people. The breading and cook on the calamari was perfectly done. For lunch we had the Halibut fish and chips , The Cobb salad, the Crab Louie Salad and shrimp salad and the Tuna and coconut shrimp special. I would certainly recommend this place for an upscale lunch. Loved it. ...READ LESS
