Beach Tree Restaurant, Bar & Lounge
The essence of "barefoot elegance," Beach Tree restaurant in Kona has the feel of a Hawaiian beach house. Diners choose between al fresco beachside seating or an elegant covered dining room with 16-foot (5-metre) vaulted ceilings. An outdoor lounge sets the stage for perfect beachfront cocktails and nightly live entertainment.
Featuring Italian and Mediterranean cuisine with Californian and tropical influences, Beach Tree offers specialty dishes such as house-made pappardelle with hamakua mushrooms and parmigiano crema, gnocchi with ox tail ragout and mascarpone with proscuitto pizza. The restaurant offers more than 60 wines by the glass, carafe or bottle. Cocktails feature tropical ingredients, fresh fruit and original combinations. Don't miss Freddy's Broken Flipper, which mixes gin, cucumber, lime and Indonesian lime leaf, or Tom's Pink Shirt, which combines guava liqueur, fresh Waimea strawberries and house-made sweet and sour made from agave nectar and fresh lime juice.
Classic and contemporary Hawaiian music is played nightly from sunset until 8:00 pm. On select evenings, a hula dancer entertains.
