The big Kahuna is a nice restaurant, with a quite atmosphere. They do have some special dishes that are unique to their restaurant but the rest of their menu is the same as everyone else on the island. Most of their menu is normal, not bad but not great.

The jumbo lump crab meat, crab cakes, soft shell crab... it was all so tasty and fresh! My husband had the coconut shrimp and it was a good portion and tasted great. I also... more
