Coconut calamari was amazing, as were the drinks. The guava ribs were good too, litterally fell off the bone. And our daughter devoured her cheeseburger. The staff is also super friendly even though we were oblivious and were the last people to leave. Mahalo!

Last night, I went to dinner with a few friends at Kaleo's , as I had asked one friend for a seafood restaurant that had good food that was reasonably priced and that had a casual atmosphere. Reservations were made for 6:30 and we were seated right away, even though we arrived 10 minutes early. I had perused the dinner menu ahead of time so I ordered the calamari appetizer to start. Our server, Sakaya Y, was both professional and friendly. She took our order for the calamari plus our drinks; a pleasant non-oaky Chardonnay for me, Merlot for the birthday "girl", Elene, and a glass of red wine (sorry can't remember what it was) for Dave. The seating was comfortable, with ceiling fans, and local artwork on the walls. The place was a little less than half full at the time, but it was noticeable that several lively conversations were going on at each table. Our drinks arrived in a few minutes along with iced water for each of us. We each took a sip of our respective drinks and toasted to friendship and to the birthday of Elene. All the drinks were tasty. The calamari was cooked just right with a sweet Thai chili sauce that had nice tang. Yummy. We then ordered our entrees. I had the ono, cooked in a beurre blanc reduction, on a bed of brown rice and sautéed vegetables, Dave ordered the blackened ono sandwich with a green salad. We planned to share our dishes with Elene. I can't remember the cocktails we ordered, but we all enjoyed them. We had a chocolate cake to share for Elene's birthday. Yummy. I would recommend that they put some sort of sound proofing for the ceiling as it was difficult to hear each other talking. Highly recommended.

The food was really good. My s/o and I quite enjoyed the wontons and would've easily just ordered a few rounds of those and been satisfied but the burgers / sandwiches were also delicious. Neither of us like blue cheese but we wanted to try something new and it was well worth it. The service was also quite nice. A bit pricy but it's reasonable and it's still a cute little place to have dinner. My s/o also ordered a flight of beer to try the flavors out and it was a hit for him.

Came tonight with a group of 7. We called ahead of time to make sure there was space bc we were a large group, and when we got there, we saw lots of seating and big spaces for all sizes. It was a big area outside inside seating. The service was fantastic. I will say they were short on menus and ran out of silverware towards the end, but they brought out some plastic spoons for dessert. I got the coconut crusted ahi fish, the lilikoi margarita, and lilikoi cheesecake. Seriously, no other words describe the food. it's just really good here. The atmosphere was a great vibe. Overall, great experience, thank you!

A little bit of Kaleo's makes the overcast Pahoa days bright. A good example of a local chill place. Like the vibe and ambiance. I felt at home immediately and relaxed to the 9s, which is great. I stopped off here on a road trip and revived myself with a coffee and a snack. Fantastic staff. Hearts of gold.
