    Poor ambiance and average very overpriced food with no substitution’s allowed. Service ok but not super personal.

    Nui is a resort restaurant that relies on its relative convenience to outside options instead of quality and value. The fish ($55), the only non-dairy option, was dry and overcooked. The meatballs ($44) were like something I could get at the local deli. Nothing special.

    OpenTableで予約して伺いました。日本語メニューあり。 前菜、サラダ、ピザ、パスタをオーダー。サイズはアメリカンサイズ。 イカとエビ、カボチャとオニオンのフリットはケチャップとオーロラソース付き。そのままでもいい塩梅。しっかりとした味付けでビールがすすみました。 暖かい地場産ロメインレタスのサラダはクルトンとベーコン、そしてジェノバソースが加わり食が進みます。 厚い記事のローマスタイルの本日のピザ(ハーフ)は食べ応えあり。生ハムとチキンとドライトマト、オリーブそしてマッシュルームがバランスよく当たりなチョイスでした。 大きなミートボール4つが乗ったトマトソースパスタは少々優しい味付けですが、一緒についてくるホットチリパウダーで牙を剥く辛さが襲います。 スイーツまでは辿り着けず、大人2人と小学校1年女子の我がファミリーピザを3切れお持ち帰りしました。 活気ある店内、気遣いあるとても丁寧な接客でした。ガラス越しにフルサイズのピザとそれを作る過程が見れて子供に人気でした。ルームサービスやテイクアウトも可能です。 ごちそうさまでした。

    We checked in for our reservation and the hostess had us sit in the bar area to wait for our table. After several parties were seated, who arrived after us, I returned to her to ask about the status. She hadn’t checked us in and apologized that she let us sit longer than necessary. Once seated our waitress was good but seemed rushed. There was another patron seated on a 4 top, near the kitchen. He had no shirt on and no shoes!!! He was berating his child at the table and bringing him and his wife to tears. He finally put a shirt on but never put shoes on. Why the restaurant staff would allow this to play out and not require him to calm down or put his shoes on is beyond me. They food wasn’t that great. The restaurant looked like a cafeteria. Not what I would expect at the Hilton in Waikoloa. Won’t be back.

    This should not be on OpenTable. It is an overpriced resort restaurant with overpriced mediocre food and beverage.

    Beautiful ocean view that can be spoiled by tram train blocking sunset and did on the night of our reservation. Food was just okay, especially for the price. My husband didn’t eat half of his chicken parm dinner because it lacked tomato sauce and chicken breast and cheese were unusually thick and bland tasting. My Opakapaka fish special was just okay too, nothing memorable. I was there a few years ago and it was much better quality food. Noise level was too high even though we were seated on the outside fringes of the restaurant. Sorry we went!
