    Service and ambiance was great. Food was not good. Left disappointed For this price point, there are several better options nearby.

    I love everything about this restaurant. The food is extraordinary and the service could not have been better. It was the best way to wrap up our vacation in Kauai. I’d highly recommend it.

    Service was great. Server was very attentive and checked on us frequently. The food was awesome. It was served Hot & the taste was on point. The atmosphere was great. I liked that we weren’t cramped up next to anyone else. Although it did get a little loud at times, it was okay since everyone was enjoying themselves. It was a great birthday celebration for my other half. Thank-you!!

    Seemed as tho they were understaffed. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Our dinner took forever to get to us. Underwhelming to say the least.

    Our server started by telling us they were understaffed, but the 30 minute wait for appetizers to appear was ridiculous on the heels of a 10 minute wait for servers first contact, then 20 minute wait for drinks. They did comp the appetizer. While dinner was good, it wasn’t enough to out weigh the very long wait and lack of attention.
