We stayed here for two nights in Jan and had a wonderful time. We stayed in the honeymoon suite with our 17 month old son. The room was perfect size for the three of us. We didn't have any issue with other guests being loud when he went to bed early after a long day of volcano exploring. The grounds... More

Had dinner last night 5/22/13. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms which were okay but were overly seasoned. The salads and dressings were amazing. I ordered the PAUPIETTES OF BEEF Rolls of sliced prime rib, stuffed with a blend of mushrooms, beef, herbs and cheese, crispy fried and topped with a Robert's sauce. Sounds good, right? WRONG!!! Horrible combination of herbs... More

We visited this place because of a suggestion by Meghan at Volcano Village Lodge. She said that it was one of the best places in Volcano. If this is one of the best the area has a few issues. We felt the food was expensive and the service average at best. The place is a nice place as it is... More

This is supposed to be the best restaurant in the tiny town of Volcano. We had duck and a beef dish. The food was heavy, German cuisine, rather bland, but nicely served. Staff was perfunctory and not too friendly.

We had breakfast here one morning and it was fantastic. We ordered an omelet and pancakes, and when the staff discovered (on their own without us saying anything) they'd given us the wrong food, they quickly prepared the food we ordered and also gave it to us free of charge. The staff was outstanding and the food was wonderful.

Expensive and below average food and service describes our less than romantic dinner at the Kilauea Lodge. The choices in Volcano are slim to very slim right now. So many places have gone out of business or closed that this could be the worst place in the area and it would still do business. My salad was okay, but the... More

We had dinner here as we were staying at the Volcano House which had no restaurant when we stayed (due to a refurbishment). The lodge is lovely and cozy and although we booked relatively late, we were made to feel very welcome. There's a decent variety of food on the menu (steaks, raw fish, Italian, vegetarian options, awesome home made... More

Dropped in for lunch without reservations. The decor could be described as Classical Hawaiian. The menu was unique. I had duck vegetable soup and a Ka'u Berger. My wife had Ahi Cesar. Both were prepared quickly and were great. Desert menu was limited but a nice selection. The wait staff were pleasant even though they were being overrun with tour... More

We ate here when we came to hike the volcano area. KLR may serve good food, but my concern is to what degree they are protecting the delicate rainforest. I told the staff person that there are issues with a few things and how they take care of the environment. She gave me an excuse and didn't seem to care.
