Yes, I love ono and poke, but what a treat to have a wide range of European cuisine with a little bit of Island influence. Creative menu, charming atmosphere, and the wait staff was WONDERFUL. A not to miss restaurant if you are in volcano. We ate there with our two teenagers and we all gave it two thumbs up!

The ladies at Volcano Village Lodge suggested that we give this restaurant a try. This place was a nice, romantic place for dinner. The feeling of the Kilaua Lodge restaurant had that feeling of a place in Colorado or upper state New York. The restaurant was warm, inviting, and had delicious fare. I ordered sausage and it was delicious. My... More

After you book your accommodations in Volcano, make reservations for this gem. They offer online reservations through OpenTable. We would have dined there each night if we had reservations!

There were good points, including use of local ingredients, appropriate portion sizes on the entrees, fresh vegetables and nice (though... More

Christmas in Hawaii is warm and sultry down on the coast, and we love it! But, Volcano Village, at around 3800 feet, can be downright chilly! Walking into the Kilauea Lodge, with its ski-chalet ambiance and the smell of the crackling fire brought a real feeling of Christmas to us ex-pats from the mainland. Ask for a table by the... More

Wonderful food option with a great atmosphere in quaint little town. Highly recommend as a dinner option if you are in town.
