    By far one of the best restaurants on Kauai. The food was amazing and the drinks were refreshing. Brock and Kailei were outstanding and knowledgeable servers. We will definitely be back and highly recommend when you are on the island of Kauai.

    The sushi was out of this world, highly recommend the dynamite roll it was 10000/10. One of the best meals my wife and I had while visiting Kauai. We also enjoyed the 14 oz ribeye, some truffle fries, and delciois cocktails (expresso martini and island breeze). Everything was FANTASTIC!!

    Chef Mitch created a spectacular meal and beverage pairing! The restaurant is lovely and it was a very limited seating so you got to interact with the chef for every course. I wish we could have gotten in for the kebab event during our visit. Book early! Thank you Chef!

    Good food with a robust selection of menu items. We went with a group of 5, each with different food preferences (including teens and a 10 year old) and everyone found something they liked. Quality of ingredients was solid and presentation was nice. It was a bit odd that we had a reservation, there were several open tables available and yet when we checked in for the reservation (2 minutes early) they told us to wait so they could set a table for us. Our waiter was friendly and was definitely hustling. We'd happily eat here again.
