Friends tell me how much they enjoyed a restaurant at the Parker ranch. I've never been there, and they forget the name of it. (They thought it was the Parker ranch restaurant, but I can't find it anywhere)

Does anyone have any ideas on the name of this restaurant?

Thanks
Don

There are several in the Parker Ranch complexes. Can they give you some idea of location and what kind of food?

Steak house with rustic look i.e. fireplace & somewhat upscale

How long ago were your friends there? I think there used to be a Parker House Restaurant (in fact I think we ate lunch there once), but I don't think it's there any longer.

This is the one that I think has closed. In doing a google search I came up with nothing.

I think Parker Ranch just has a food court now. We were there this last summer, and didn't see any other restaurants.

I got the following information by posting the question on the konaweb site.

The restaurant at the Parker Ranch Center in Waimea is called Tante's Bar & Grill. They serve a wide variety of food in a nice atmosphere. There have been several restaurants in this location, but Tante's looks like it's here to stay. They serve lunch and dinner most days, but are closed on Tuesdays. We've yet to eat dinner there but we've had several nice lunches and they also serve a brunch buffet on Sundays (and maybe Saturdays, too).

In March O6 we ate at the Parker Ranch restaurant next to the food court. It had just recently opened. Do not recall the name, it was western/rustic and had fireplaces as best I can remember. We did have a good meal despite new staff and systems. Maybe it shut down between that time and last summer.

I bet I know the restaurant.

I have eaten there a couple of times. It was good in my opinion, but my friend said his steak was the best he had ever eaten. I don't know the name of it, but it almost can't be missed on one of the main roads... I THINK it was on route 19, just west of 119. It pretty much looks like you would expect an old steak house to look. It is all by itself, not in a complex. I don't know if it has anything to do with Parker Ranch today, but I think I remember reading some connection it had in the story on the menu. The last time I was there was October of 2006.

Thank you Luanne, I ate there the day after Xmas (and really enjoyed it) because they only served a buffet brunch on Christmas.
