KONA BREWING COMPANY
KOKO MARINA
HAWAII KAI, HAWAII
We have lived in East Honolulu for four years now. Why we have never dined at the Kona Brewing Company is beyond me. The restaurant is perched on a great corner lot overlooking Koko Marina in Hawaii Kai. On a day like today, the views are simply beautiful. The beauty of the water and the mountains make you feel really lucky to live in Hawaii. We were greeted by two young hostess and quickly seated on the covered patio overlooking the Marina. The place was pretty busy. Pizza, Fish Tacos, Salads, Burgers and Fresh Fish were going by our table on trays and being served to happy customers who were also sampling some of the house crafted beers. I ordered a small Greek Salad ($9). The salad included Romaine Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, Olives, Onion and Feta Cheese. Served with a nice Balsamic Dressing. Not a bad salad but I think $9 was a bit to expensive. I ordered a 10" Wild Mushroom Pizza for the table ($18). The description on the menu listed Mushrooms, Mozzarella Cheese, Olive Oil, Roasted Garlic, Red Onions and Roasted Red Peppers. The pizza we received was covered in Feta Cheese and contained no tomato sauce. The cheese was totally overpowering. I could not eat one slice. The Roasted Garlic was good but was just thrown on the pizza in whole cloves. The mushrooms were non existent. At over $5 per slice for this pizza it was a huge disappointment. Should of asked for my money back. $18 down the drain and we left the entire pizza on the table less a few bites and scrapings of the toppings. My daughter enjoyed the Kids Meal Pigs in a Blanket ($7). Two small hot dogs wrapped in pizza dough and served with some fresh fruit. No complaints. The Ahi Salad ($16) was a large plate of greens topped with a perfectly cooked rare Ahi Tuna that was topped with sesame seeds and a really good dressing. This was a very good piece of fish. Glad my wife allowed me to eat a few bites. I will go back here soon. There are a lot of good things on the menu and I want to give this place another chance. Just will stay way clear of the Wild Mushroom Pizza with no mushrooms and Feta Cheese. NOTE: COULD NOT POST PHOTOS BECAUSE THE RED CANOPY ABOVE MADE ALL OF THE PHOTOS RED.
