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.

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.

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

The service was horrible. Our waiter thought he was somebody special. Too special to give decent service. The salad was soooo underdressed, it was like the dressing was forgotten.
Red Salt at Ko’a Kea ResortResponded on 27 May 2025
Aloha Scott, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m truly sorry to hear that your visit didn’t reflect the level of service & quality we strive to provide. It’s disappointing to know that you felt let down by the attentiveness of your server, & we’ll be addressing this matter asap. We appreciate your feedback about the salad—it should never feel like an afterthought, & we’ll make sure the kitchen is aware so we can correct this going forward. Your experience matters to us, and we’d genuinely like the chance to make things right. If you’re open to it, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for the kind of service & meal we’re known for. Director of Restaurants - Adam Wohler 808-742-4213 Mahalo, RS Mgmt.
