We were a group of 6. All meals were delicious and our server was phenomenal. All of her recommendations were wonderful.
Save room for dessert.
Oceanside view was wonderful as well.

the food here was just okay, which unfortunately does not justify the extremely high prices they charge. the atmosphere is amazing, with multiple performances throughout our evening. however i suggest you go elsewhere if you value food taste. do not get the cacio e pepe

So we went there, great service, but the pasta noodles were very undercooked, for 72 for a steak was fine but it still left me hungry, presentation was great but hardly any vegetables were served with it maybe a good mouthful, but It would of been great if there was at least a baked potato served with it low cost high reward. A spent 180 total. Won't be returning sadly

We have enjoyed lunch here multiple times with our real estate colleagues, and we always come away thinking, "Why don't we eat here more often?" It's close to Kailua-Kona, prices are reasonable, and the ambience is amazing! All of the food that we've tried has been amazing, and my wife LOVES the non-alcoholic coconut lemonade. (I think it's a non-menu item, so you have to ask for it by name!) We will definitely enjoy Beach Tree more in 2026.

Our top experience in Kona on this trip. This restaurant is located in an amazing setting for sunset and evenings and the service and food is impeccable. The main reason for our visit was the vegan menu and options and the food did not disappoint. Everything seemed made from fresh ingredients and entirely in house. Even the timing of how the plates came out seemed entirely planned out. The coconut sorbet was to die for. Hokulani was our server and her service was the best we’ve had, maybe ever. It was impressive how she seemed to remember every part of the menu in detail and also the wine menu with knowing the cities of origin from the top of her head! There was a fire dancer, live music, and hula dancer during the evening around sunset hour. All authentic feel too. None of the cheesy stuff… Really hope to be back again one day. Going to dinner here isn’t just a meal, it’s an entire experience.
