The gourmet room at the prestigious Mauna Kea Beach Hotel does upscale Continental dining in the old-fashioned way. The decor is elegant and exotic, the menu decadent and flavorful. Provencal influences make the cuisine heartier than the Pacific Rim fare found at many Kohala Coast restaurants. Signature menu items include Venison Loin and Crusted Opah (moonfish). The wine list is eclectic, and the cocktail lounge serves a variety of top-shelf liquors and unusual mixed drinks.
