Manta at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

Perched on the edge of a bluff overlooking the sparkling waters of Kaunaoa Beach, the resort's flagship restaurant is a compelling spot for a romantic meal at sunset, especially at one of the outside tables. The culinary team's take on Hawaii Regional Cuisine highlights locally sourced, sustainable fish, chicken, and beef. The grilled chicken, for example, comes from the Kau district of the Big Island, while the Kona kampachi is raised on the coast. The Kona abalone is also specially farmed at the Keahole Point NELHA deep cold seawater facility.
