Ono Grinds Tip: Isles Café in Hilo! Yummy! Located right next door to the Hilo fish market next to Queen Lili park (so you know they have great fresh fish!). My favorite is the Ahi Plate with double tossed salad and sesame dressing! So good! But you have to get there before 2:00, that's when they close their doors... A Hui Ho!
