Hilo Bay Cafe

The host at our B&B in Hilo directed us to Cafe Pesto on our first night there. It was easy, predictable, overpriced, and the food was...edible. The next night we discovered Hilo Bay Cafe. Hilariously situated next to Walmart, it's a cute little fancy place. We were able to get a table without much wait, but on our last night there we opted for reservations and got a great table by the front window with super comfy leather chairs. We were very happy with our food and beverages, and the service was lovely.

We had a chicken dish and the barbecued ribs with some sort of savory bread pudding thing. It was tasty, but the two most memorable dishes were as follows:


This is the pan-roasted jumbo pork chop with gorgonzola fondue potatoes (amazing), broccolini, and smoked bacon-apple vinaigrette.


Beef carpaccio that changed my life. Those are dollops of horseradish and sprinklings of truffle oil.
