Ponds Hilo

Tomahawk steaks are cut for each table during the meal. Must-try dishes: Spanish-style Boston lobster, secret salmon, freshly grilled scallop lamb chops, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, all-inclusive sushi and all kinds of seafood are available.

We decided to stop here on our drive around the island. We ordered fish and chips and fried shrimp for mains, both were very good. My wife ordered regular chips and I tried the garlic chips against the waiter's advice. He was right, a little too much garlic. It was ok, I would definitely go back but I would only order half the portion. The shrimp was the best.

The menu was stale, nothing to write home about, prices were high for the variety. The service was slow, island speed. Since there are not too many restaurants worth going, as a local, I wouldn't go back again.

It's nice to have a drink here.
