Welcome to Privateer’s Cove, a Kailua-Kona watering hole that serves up a variety of dishes from around the world — in true privateer style — in a quirky, pirate-themed setting.

Serving up a variety of mouthwatering meals with global influences, your taste buds will surely be satisfied — no matter what you order.

The menu changes weekly, so you never know what exactly you’ll get, but you might enjoy comfort food classics like truffle macaroni and cheese and chicken alfredo or more innovative offerings like duck breast with a raspberry Burre Blanc sauce with vegetable fried rice, shrimp stuffed with crab over a shrimp and vegetable orzo cooked in coconut red curry, or a South Australian rack of lamb.

Utilizing fresh, local ingredients and constantly evolving, their stir-fry features both Mongolian and Chinese influences and is a fan favorite.

If you want to enjoy a nice glass of wine or beer with your meal, you'll have to bring your own. Privateer's Cove doesn't have a liquor license, but the BYOB eatery doesn't charge a cork fee.

Don't forget to save room for dessert. This layered ice cream pie looks downright decadent.
