“Still dreaming of our amazing meal at Jackie Rey's! I came across the restaurant thanks to a search for the best restaurants in Kona for an upcoming vacation and made reservations for a night we were free. Little did I know I made one of the best decisions ever with that move. Wish we could have gone back again before we left the Big Island but for now we can only dream about our experience there.”
