This was a very disappointing experience. We went in for my birthday dinner and I was very excited because the menu looked great. To start, the server was cold and not engaging at all. Some of the food was just ok, but very high prices for just ok. Two of the dishes were almost not edible. My partner is gluten free and I do appreciate the accommodation that was offered, but they up-charge $5 for boxed gluten free pasta. We constantly eat gluten free and it’s usually very tasty but her dish was just nasty. The pasta was hard/crunchy like it was burned in a pan after being boiled. She would take bites of her food then have to spit out the rock hard pieces of pasta. The pesto sauce was very bland, and the tomato sauce was way too sweet. I highly recommend you do not go here for any special occasion, they are not welcoming and don’t seem to care about any celebration. There’s some great Italian on the Big Island, look somewhere else.
Our family of four enjoyed a sunset meal at this wonderful restaurant. We made reservations on a Wednesday evening. The atmosphere was intentional with a nice mix of energy and sophistication. Our server, Braxton, provided thoughtful service being attentive to the gluten sensitivity. We chose the Mixed Grill, Blackened Ahi, Miso Butterfish and Opakapaka. The food was well prepared, plates visually appealing and portions were satisfying. The signature dishes held up to their fame. Pricing set the stage for a celebratory dinner. Certainly, would return when in the area again.

A few gluten free options (knowledgeable server). I have celiac so I did not get the fries as they are in a shared frier. The fish tacos were pretty good!

After walking the very long way through a lava flow and passing by some amazing petroglyphs, we found our way to Sansei. It was a pleasure surprise for sure. Our waiter, Kamon (common) was very knowledgeable and had a firm grasp of the gluten free options. We had a fabulous meal. The steaks were cooked to perfection.
Food was great, loved the gluten free option Kauhlua pork pizza and the de poncie wine ❤ mixed drinks (lava and hawaiian blue) tasted kind of "fake" like fake sweeteners maybe. Other than that, ambiance and service was great, with an amazing view 😍
We had a fantastic evening watching the sunset while enjoying a fabulous meal with impeccable service. We were seated by Head Chef Robert and served by Jolie and Owen. My wife and I really enjoyed every aspect of the dining experience!
We started off with the smoked shrimp appetizer which, while in modest size, was very delicious. My wife had the scallops which were perfectly prepared and some of the largest scallops we’ve had. I had the dinner special which was Hamachi over garlic rice with Swiss chard and pea shoots. And finish the evening, a decadent gluten-free chocolate and macadamia nut dessert.
Stopped in for a burger and french dip. They also have gluten free buns! The food was delicious and the two gals running the restaurant were extremely friendly and working hard. The view of the golf course adds to the ambiance.
