Kohala Coast Restaurants: The Grill at the Fairmont Orchid, Steakhouse

Address: Fairmont Orchid Hawaii, 1 N. Kaniku Dr., Kohala Coast, HI

Phone: 808/




Set back from the beach, the Grill is a martini-and-filet-mignon kind of place.

The menu is heavier on meats (leaving the seafood to the nearby Brown's Beach House), and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better steak on the island.

The service is impeccable, the wine list superb, and the macadamia-nut pie may be the best dessert we've ever had.

Open-air seating is available, and the tables are still close enough to the ocean to catch the breeze.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
