Bev was an amazing server. She picked the best wine and recommended the best entree. Will definitely return for another night. They are lucky to have Bev working there.

Last day on Kona always includes breakfast at Lava Java. We had a table on the rail to enjoy the view and the meal was delicious. Of course we took advantage of mimosa Monday and each enjoyed a pog mimosa 😋. Service was excellent and we are already looking forward to next year

The perfect spot to watch sunset & amazing food. Highly recommend making a reservation to get right in & arrive ~30 mins before sunset.
