Golden sunset through palm trees over the water at Huggo's

Dinner with the Kona sunset

Huggo's sits directly on the water facing due west over Kailua Bay — front row seats for showy sunsets, with the day's last light landing right on the table.

Golden hour, every night

The Kona coast is famous for its sunsets, and Huggo's sits directly on the water facing them — nothing between the table and the horizon but the bay.

Arrive early and start at hBAR with Liquid Happy Hour from 4:00 to 5:00 pm, the only from-scratch Classic Mai Tai on the island, poured as the light turns gold. Dinner service begins at 5:00 pm, timed so the main course meets the sunset.

Sunset in Kona falls between roughly 5:45 pm in winter and 7:15 pm in summer. Book a table about an hour before sundown for the full show, and stay after; the torches come on and the shoreline glows.

From the kitchen

Fresh off the boats, just as the sun goes down.

Island fish brought in by local fishermen, hand-cut steaks, and produce from up the mountain, a menu that changes with the season and the boats.
