The staff is always happy to help.
Relax at Hawaii Calls while you enjoy one of the following recommendations:
Prime Rib
A favorite entree at Hawaii Calls is the Prime Rib. This succulent meat comes with au jus and Hamakua mushrooms. But you might not need these extras to enhance the meat. It stands well on its own. With this and other dinner entrees, you have choices of mushroom soy fried rice or garlic mashed potatoes and a vegetable. The mashed potatoes pair better with the Prime Rib than the fried rice. Even the servers make this recommendation, which visitors greatly appreciate.
Marriott Burger
Named for the resort housing the restaurant, the Marriott Burger is a simple bacon cheeseburger that comes full of flavor. Its slightly sweet bun foils the savory flavors of the beef patty, cheddar cheese, and bacon inside.
Ahi Poke Nachos
Called “amazing” and “divine” the Ahi Poke Nachos turn the classic chips and salsa appetizer on its head. These nachos use freshly caught fish cooked with spicy seasonings. It comes with avocado, sriracha mayonnaise, tomatoes, and cucumbers over won ton chips.
The toppings and availability of Ahi Poke Nachos will change throughout the year to ensure that you have the freshest ingredients in your dish. Sometimes, these appear on Taco Tuesdays with tacos and margarita specials. You’ll never think of nachos the same way after trying this unique dish.
Baby Gem Caesar Salad
Fresh lettuce, grated parmesan cheese, croutons, and chef-prepared Caesar aioli dressing elevate the Baby Gem Caesar Salad at Hawaii Calls from a simple side to a delicious dinner. Add freshly caught fish, prawns, or chicken to make a meal of this basic dish, or choose to pair it with a sandwich or other entree to have some crunch and garlicky goodness with your meal. If you want a heartier alternative to the Caesar Salad, order Fresh Catch Nicoise Salad, which has romaine lettuce freshly caught fish, fingerling potatoes, tomatoes, olives, edamame, and eggs.
