Being new to wine I was looking for a nice shop that would help guide me to some good wines. I've always received great recommendations from the staff.

The staff is always nice and super helpful. I've never been in the store when it was busy so they always have time to talk about the wines before purchasing them.

I've never sat and had tea or tried their pastries, but I purchase bulk tea from here all the time.

On my first visit I placed an order for some bulk tea which took about 20 minutes to get together. Since then I've always called ahead to place my order and it's ready for me when I go to pick it up.

I've found they have a good selection of tea and they are always reasonably priced. They are also very willing to send samples of other teas along with an order which is nice.

The atmosphere is amazing as well as the food. I can't attest to it's authenticity, but it was a great experience nonetheless.

Great place to stop in for a bit after visiting the Denver Art Museum just up the road.

You Make The Roll

Cheap sushi that doesn't compromise on quality.  Although it's a steal the fish is fresh, the rolls are huge and they taste amazing.  Definitely recommended if you're looking for some sushi and you're on a tight budget.

The food was delicious and the service was great.  They have an early bird special between 5-5:30pm which is your choice of one of two dishes for only $12 which is a pretty good deal for a dinner in Hawaii.  The rest of the menu was about $15-$28 for an entree but their sandwiches and burgers were all under $15.  Their menu is small but what we had was excellent.  Highly recommended if you want to get away from the main drag and enjoy a relaxed meal.

My wife needed antibiotics for a sinus infection.  We dropped in without and appointment and we were in and out quickly and efficiently.  The office staff and receptionists were very helpful and friendly.  The doctors were knowledgeable and very nice.  I would recommend them if you need quick medical care whether you're visiting or living in Kona.

It's super low budget Chinese food.  It's good if you're on a budget and need something filling, but it's definitely a pass if you're looking for quality food.

The ambiance was a bit too 'spring break' for me, and the food was only so so. It's a fun restaurant and the views of the ocean are nice.  But unless you're looking for something ultra casual with ok food I would skip it.

Great beer and great food.  I'm a big fan of their bottled micro-brews and on tap they are even better.  The atmosphere is great, service was excellent and the food was delicious.  My wife and I shared a pizza which was great.  If you're a fan of good beer and good pub food you should definitely check it out.
