    Absolutely one of the best meals I’ve had on the island so far. Lifelong food enthusiast who has traveled all over the world for the best food. This was certainly one of the better meals I’ve ever had, clearly the best on the island so far. The atmosphere is incredibly casual for this level of food. And almost all of the servers were exceptional.

    We had Brussel Sprouts (superb), Fish and Chips (love the fries and fish was light and crispy), Kim Chee Rueben Sandwich with Tomato soup (tasty but I should have known it would be a little greasy), Pickled mango margarita (wonderful with a slice of pickled mango garnish), and Kulolo haupia sundae (love the haupia gelato and the mango compote...the kulolo was a little hard/chewy). I would try a different dessert next time. Overall...really liked the vibe in this restaurant. Very comfortable, staff is very friendly and great service. Definitely a repeater.

    Front desk was friendly and our table on the rail & booster seat were reservation ready. Our wait help was perfection -- friendly, professional and helpful in her recommendations and in answering our questions. Her pacing was on track, not rushed and most welcomed in making our dining & visiting experience top notch. Hand-crafted drinks were extra special with the lilikoi float; the appetizers were tasty (kalua pork & pineapple and the 3 ahi tacos); and the main course entries included ahi steak (ono!), encrusted fish and rack of lamb (all equally impressive). All in all, a delightful evening with family, elevated by your fabulous food and service.
