Great service. incredibly noisy, The best fries ever !!! and the soggiest salad ever. So - a mixed plate on all levels. Not my go to for lunch .. what was the most wonderful was the romantic dining in the big back yard tent. Sadly the new owners don't keep it open for weekend dinners... too bad. You'll see me here again as soon as you do!!

The menu is lovely and the service was great. We've always eaten in the back of the restaurant but this time sat in front --which was nice but different. The waitress alerted us that a party of 16 was coming in and the noise level might be more than we would wish. We had a fish appetizer that was really good and my food (green goddess chopped salad and pork belly bao buns) was excellent, but my companions both felt that their entree, while good, wasn't outstanding (macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi). The desserts (lilikoi creme brulee and banana cheesecake were terrific. We love the service and the food and will definitely return.
