Stopped here for lunch and dinner during recent vacation. Atmosphere is pretty laid back - comfortable setting, often live music playing, nice layout. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Food is terrific, drinks can run on the "creative" side. As other reviews suggest - it's bigger inside than it appears. Please note: it sometimes gets busy and service slows down a bit (at least it was at dinner) as staff is attentive to customers (also see: Island Time). Like many other restaurants on the Island, it can get a bit pricey, however portion sizes are good. One of us ordered the 12 oz prime rib and ended up with something closer to 14 or a pound (we actually had to confirm they didn't goof up and charge us for the 24 oz). I noticed an earlier review expressing frustration over a lack of gluten-free options. To be fair to Keoki's, the menu makes it clear that certain items may not be made with ingredients containing gluten, however it's possible they could be exposed to gluten due to the nature of their kitchen. If you are extremely sensitive to gluten, do your research ahead of time. Look up the menu. If you're unclear on something, call them ahead of time and check. They genuinely seem to care about getting things right and will answer your questions. If you don't mind a little slowness during the evening (more time to take in the atmosphere), I'd highly recommend this place.

One of our favorite spots on the island - food is great! They use breadfruit in their fried fish recipes, and it’s delicious! Also, wonderful gluten and gluten-free pancakes on Saturday and Sunday mornings!

This is a local market that has TONS of packaged gluten free options. Definitely come here to get some safe gluten free snacks.

The atmosphere, sunset, and vibes of this restaurant are definitely positive. However, we found the service and food to be poor. We found a lot of people we talked to when referring us to this restaurant would say, “Oh my gosh the sunset is amazing,” but they never spoke highly of the food and service. We found this to be true, unfortunately. The food was mediocre, we’d been on the island for over a week and were looking forward to this meal, but it was definitely a let down. Also, we were celebrating a milestone birthday while on the island and had ordered a cake from a local bakery that was gluten-free and vegan as the birthday boy has strict allergies. When speaking to the restaurant, they let us know an hour in advance of our reservation that we could ‘under no circumstances’ bring the Birthday cake that was accommodating severe allergies for the birthday boy. We ended up only going once during our trip and again, found management, the service, and food to be average and nothing to rave about.

The owner has celiac disease and they have organic syrups and really yummy shaved ice. Definitely worth a visit. They also have food options and the owner knows how to prep even in a small food truck to prevent cross contact.
