Only disappointment is that they seem to favor guests staying at the resort by providing better seating with views. Can understand reasoning, but we stay next door and always make a reservation. It’s one of the best restaurants in the area.
Red Salt at Ko’a Kea ResortResponded on 6 June 2025
Aloha Chad, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly honored by your kind words about our food and ambience — it means a great deal to our team. We also appreciate your honest note regarding seating preferences. While we do try to accommodate all our guests fairly, we understand how this aspect of your visit could feel disappointing. Your loyalty and continued visits, even from next door, do not go unnoticed, and we will certainly take your comments into account as we review our seating policies. We hope to welcome you back again soon with an app on us. Feel Free to use my name Angel Pascual - Restaurant Manager and I'd be happy to make sure your next experience is even better. With our warmest aloha, Red Salt Food & Beverage Team

Great dining experience! My wife has allergies and the first thing they asked for at the hostess check in was clarification on what those allergies were. Excellent job by the waitstaff and managers. The table side cocktails were quite the treat and the food was outstanding would definitely recommend.
Red Salt at Ko’a Kea ResortResponded on 31 May 2025
Aloha Joshua, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're so glad to hear you and your wife had a great dining experience with us. It’s wonderful to know that our team made her allergy accommodations a top priority — we take that very seriously, and your kind words mean a lot. We’re also thrilled you enjoyed the tableside cocktails and found the food outstanding. Your tags — Romantic, Fancy, Charming — are exactly the experience we strive to deliver, especially for special occasions. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you both back again soon! With our warmest aloha, Red Salt Food & Beverage Team
