Ponds Hilo

“We liked the atmosphere and our service and food were both top notch.”

The place is beautifully located by a quiet lagoon. Akepa is a great sweet waitress with a smile that can enchant. Atmosphere of place is friendly and beautiful. You want to have good food and relax then this place is a big stop for you. They have limited menu but they make up for that easy. I enjoyed my afternoon here for sure and wouldn’t mind coming back again soon to enjoy the view and a drink. If I were Akepa’s boss. I’d give her a promotion! The customer service is awesome

Ruben was an amazing waiter. The food was beyond the high expectations from the personal recommendation of a local I know. Teriyaki Steak was like butter, it melted in my mouth. Lilikoi cheesecake was remarkable. 11 out of 10, will definitely revisit every time I'm in Hilo.

Took my wife her on our first night of our honey moon! The theme inside was excellent! We got a window seat and was able to see out into the water. Food tasted great, along with great service made a good first night. We had walked over from the hotel next door. Maybe will be back some day.

We had such a lovely experience at Ponds Restaurant in Hilo! The food was absolutely delicious — the salmon was perfectly cooked, the steak tender and flavorful, and the macadamia nut pesto pasta was outstanding — rich, fresh, and full of local flavor. The portions were hearty and beautifully presented. What really made the evening special, though, was the warm and friendly staff. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive. You can tell they truly care about their guests.
