    Love love the Vessel restaurant !!! I'm vegetarian and they always make something special and delicious for me. The food is always delicious and the service is great. From the first steps at the hostess stand till the end of your experience you feel amazing atmosphere. Breakfast, lunch or dinner always great food. The whole staff is very attentive including managers that always check if we need anything else. Can't wait to come back soon again!!!

    Made reservations even though I didn't have to during the time we arrived. It wasn't crowded or busy at all. Located at the beautiful property of the Kona Kai resort. We started with an appetizer Fritto Misto - calamari, jicama, red cabbage, peanut, togarishi, yuzu aioli Since it was happy hour, we chose the shrimp and some adult beverages for the table FYI the shrimp is not sharable ( 5 pieces) lol For our entrees we ordered the Maryland-Style Crab Cake Sandwich - butter lettuce, tomato, pickled fresno chilis, creamy mustard sauce, brioche bun, house-made old bay kettle chips Mahi Tacos - cucumber pico de gallo, pickled red cabbage, cilantro lime crema, chips & house-made salsa Vessel Burger - beef, gruyere cheese, bacon jam, arugula, tomato, pickles, pommery mustard aioli, brioche bun The food was good but a little on the pricey side. The view was nice too.

    beautiful restaurant and oceanside view!! our large group (make reservations ahead) sat outside and it was great, plus they brought out heaters for us. The restaurant is behind/part of the hotel, so you must go through it to find it (easy). we came on a saturday evening, and it was busy but service was prompt Everyone in our group seemed satisfied with their food and drinks! Would definitely recommend and be back

    The food was good. The hostess said since we didn't have reservations it was a 30 minute wait. Yet there were many empty tables everywhere. So we sat the bar instead. The atmosphere was nice and service was overall was good. Just didn't care too much for the hostess. While the whole time we saw many empty tables.
