Theatery

What a treat to find a restaurant of this caliber and style in this part of the island. The theme is just brilliant, and often interwoven with whatever is playing at the historic theatre attached to it. It's elegant, nostalgic, but still 100% quirky Big Island. You may read other reviews from self-proclaimed "foodies" who critique Chef's choices for salt and acidity and think a dish needs to be different in order to be "proper." This kind of haughtiness doesn't belong here. This is a chef who has worked in some of the most respected kitchens in the country, and what you are experiencing is his specific interpretation of a dish. If it's not to your taste, it's your fault...not his. Each dish here is executed exquisitely and purposefully, and my crew (I'm a chef, and my friends have accumul

Exquisite dining experience! My husband had the pounded ahi tuna and it literally brought tears to his eyes, sharing it was by far the best dish he has ever eaten in his entire life. My short ribs and his kanpachi were amazing. We finished with a melon soup with basil oil that was incredible. We were tickled to find out we eating a meal prepared by legendary chef Stewart Woodman, the icing on the brulee! As lovely as out meal was, it was made even better by John, who provided exceptional service and was equally excited to serve this delicious food as we were to eat it!

Wonderful relaxed place next to the historic community theater. You can hear the actors warming up for the performance. Varied menu all locally sourced. Delightful place to watch the sunset while having a great dinner. Menu is à la carte so it can be pricey. Delicious coconut rice. Very cozy feel with everyone having a really good time.

We loved everything about Theatery! The food was amazing, and we also loved our cocktails (espresso martini called the “Aloha” and an “Ethos” - a version of a margarita). We had garlic bread with miso paste, a bouquet salad with hearts of palm and a beet puree, and best of all, a braised lamb shank with coconut rice and a carrot puree. My only “complaint” is that the puree was so good I wanted much more of it… 😄 Bananas foster for dessert - the bananas come from the farm right next to the restaurant. We did a farm tour (mostly focused on cocoa and coffee beans) just before dinner, so it was sunset right when we arrived. Beautiful view!!

Let's just start off with, this was one of the best steaks iv ever had sooo tender melt in your mouth! All local to the island. I been wanting to try them since they opened and it's definitely I think one of the BEST restaurants on the island for sure! unique and different then all the other "fancy restaurants" that literally have the same exact sysco orderd food. The theatery has an amazing renowned chef who takes pride in their dishes, all fresh local ingredients. The views, the atmosphere, the service and of course the food is top notch! This is my now go to place for when I want to celebrate something special. My mom and I shared the bone marrow and the ulu dauphine both were fantastic!! I have been dreaming of that bone marrow ever since I saw they had it and it did not disappoint!!!
