As soon as you walk in, you can tell that it has a nice warm, friendly environment. We didn’t have a reservation ahead of time, but didn’t have to wait long at all. The food was amazing, and music was also equally as good. Our waiter was very nice, and overall, it was just a great place!

We entered this very cozy place with live music and thought we were in a usual local place but there was much more than that !The amazing cocktails for starter, the fresh food cooked with talent and the excellent service of Pilialoha made this dinner an unforgettable one ! We would love to dine here again 😍

We had the best time celebrating my Aunti Sandy’s Birthday at Red Water Cafe last week. Chef David & staff were on their A-Game! Most enjoyable food, atmosphere, and friendly staff. Mahalo nui loa-A

Loved the ambiance and the live piano music. I got the lilikoi chicken curry, pretty tasty.

Really enjoyed the fresh catch of the day which was wahoo fish (ono). We were able to get a reservation no problem which was nice. Not sure the best way to describe the environment but the word “quirky” comes to mind.

I’m from New Orleans LA. And when I tell you that Red Water Cafe is the best place to get 🥃 🍷 🍺 and the best food on the island 🏝️ and with a hard working team with the best customer service I’ve ever seen it’s more than a cafe it’s the place you have to visit when you come to the big island 🏝️. No matter where you’re at Kona, Hilo, Waimea, Captain Cook,….etc. Make your way to Red Water Cafe for a great time. I highly recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5 stars. Pretty decent food. Is it the best I've ever had? No, but I liked it. My dad is a vegetarian and a picky one at that, so it is hard to please him with the one veggie options most restaurants have. The veggie fried noodles dish here was a big success with him because he loved it and finished quite a bit of it!! My mom and I shared the chicken curry which was delicious too but could've done with a hint of more spice. And maybe some mushrooms :) we also had the heated sake which was very nice. Pricey, as everything in Hawaii seems to be! But I do recommend them for their food. The ambience is a typical small town bar/restaurant with wooden and antique-y things. Service is a little bit slow at times.

T’was raging chilly outside and we need something to eat before heading back to Kailua-Kona. Searched for an open dining eatery and Red Water Cafe popped up. Goodness it’s along the way so we took advantage on it.
We were greeted and seated after a few minutes. Staffs are friendly and patience to us. Our starter was butternut squash soup which is so comforting and nicely made.
Fresh catch of the day was our entree: Osso Buco - fish and veggies are seasoned well. Fish meat was a bit on a dry side but still its good and tasty.
Hot tea to end our dinner and that was perfect before dealing the cold outside.
Happy eating!
