Forc - Waimea

I ate there alone a few nights in a row since I was staying at a nearby hotel. The food was memorably good, and the servers could not have been nicer, I was never ignored and no one hovered, it was all very pleasant. It was busy every night . There are more items on the menu that I want to try. The host or manager kept everything running smoothly and remembered me each time I came in, as did the bartenders who brought my food. The chef is a first class cook. All-around superb experience.

I just enjoyed an amazing meal! The service was exceptional—thank you, Zoey! We've visited FORC several times, and this was definitely our best experience yet. The bone marrow was exquisite, and the clams and mussels were cooked perfectly, not a bit overdone. The 6 oz. filet mignon was actually more than that and cooked to perfection. The chocolate crème brûlée was rich and indulgent. Mahalo!

We had a fantastic dinner here and decided to come back the following evening. Our server, Gabby, was outstanding. Her timing, professionalism, and courtesy were exemplary, making everything seem effortless. The grass-fed steaks were cooked exactly as we ordered, and the portions were generous and tender. The sides were good, though not exceptional. Unfortunately, the lamb was overcooked and the gnocchi a bit mushy. The miso ahi was excellent, but I would have preferred a stronger miso flavor. The cocktails were hit and miss, but overall enjoyable. The restaurant could benefit from improving consistency to reach greatness. Overall, we prefer dining here for a nice meal rather than in Waikoloa, Kona, or Hilo. We really enjoyed it and can’t wait to return.

We arrived ten minutes before opening, and the staff was very welcoming, allowing us to enter early. This was the best food we've had on the island so far. I highly recommend the Portuguese clams—they're seasoned in a unique way. The coffee-rubbed steak was also outstanding. We tried some handcrafted cocktails, opting for non-alcoholic ones, and they did not disappoint. Overall, this restaurant offers high-quality food and drinks with a friendly, unpretentious service, and reasonable prices for such a place. I just wish we lived closer!
