Blue Dragon

Terrific ambiance, music, and service.  
The outdoor venue was pleasant.
ordered the South American Surf was prepared perfectly.

A hit!

A destination evening not to be missed!  5 star all the way!

Make your dinner reservations so that you are seated during the lead act, then you will be there for plenty of the main act.  Sit in the main room.

We will NEVER miss having dinner here on any future trip to the Big Island.  Too many tempting dishes to try, too much variety in the musical acts to enjoy.

Cinnamon smoked bacon on sweet potato hash, crowned with a battered poached egg.  Beautiful presentation and absolutely luscious.

Fried oysters - wonderful.

Fresh-caught swordfish?  Are you kidding???  One order of pan-seared, one order of grilled.  Mango butter sauce was delicious.  Side veggies so fresh and delicately sautéed.

Dessert - if dinner is that good, can't miss the finale!  Their version of panne cotta is light and so perfectly smooth.  The lilliikoi pudding cake was just lovely - the fruit was not too sweet but had a flavor punch that was balanced with the starch.  Jus perfect.

We just sat in amazement at the entire package:  knockout food, incredibly good music, sorta nightclub/sorta dinner house with an intimate, community feeling.  Lots of patrons visiting with each other and sharing the dance floor with each other.  We didn't want to leave, and ran out of courses to order!  Our server Nathan (excellent server, by the way - very professional and casual in a way that fit the surroundings!) assured us that we could stay as long as we wanted to.

Sound too good to be true?  It is true.

Great food, live music, and outdoor ambiance. Too bad the music can't go until later but that is not their fault. Perfect place for an evening out!
