   We have eaten here many times and this time was definitely off. We (4 guests) got sat 5 minutes early (7:55pm)...ordered beverages (1 diet coke and 1 lemonade)and 1 appetizer and our entrees. Got appetizer fairly quickly and then we waited and waited and waited. The waiter even came by and said...you waiting for another appetizer?? "Nope....just our entrees." The manager came by with the "how is everything this evening" comment. Our response, "just waiting for our food." We think he thought we were already done dining. He said, "I'll check back with you." Food finally came....approximately 65 minutes later from when we arrived. Manager never did stop again at our table. The server said that they only had 2 cooks for a Friday night and that was why it took forever. Not any "hey....here's a dessert for being patient, or a hey here's something off the bill for waiting....only a we are short staffed in kitchen." IF only they had said that up front. We understand that places are short staffed but be up from about it. Food was good. Not their best compared to our other dining experiences there.

   Starting off positive. the staff is great best on Kauai. The sun set was epic. Ask for a seat by the back window. The ambiance is perfect. Now the disappointment. I looked on the website before we arrived and got the Honolulu menu, boy was I disappointed. Oh well it's Kauai. We ordered potstickers "good", blue crab fritters. Confused they were hushpuppys cold hushpuppys. Ribeye steak well cooked and seasoned but it was practically a cut of pot roast meat with so much sinue and gristle my husband couldn't cut a piece away from the slab. The center part was good. And I had a Ceasars salad it was delicious. And the pineapple upside-down cake was epic. My conclusion is listen to your waiter he/she will tell you what is good, don't go off script. Merry Christmas

   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.
