    Gorgeous location for a romantic dinner or out for any special evening. The food was excellent along with a fine wine list. The farm to table freshness was well evident! The service was spot on and made us feel like it was a special day. We will definitely visit again!

    We had a lovely dinner. The Caesar salad was fresh & the escargot in the shells were a delight. My lamb was delicious & the filet perfectly prepared. Our waiter was friendly & had helpful wine & dinner suggestions. It was the perfect ending to our Kauai vacation & one of our favorite places on the island.

    Food and service were very good (as always). We were able to make a dinner reservation till for 5 pm when the restaurant opens. Since several parties have 5 pm reservations there can be a line to be seated which we experienced. Not too bad, but also not great. We were there on a Thursday night when the restaurant also provides food for some Luau attendees. So about 70% of the tables were reserved for those people which limits the availability for other guests. Also between 5:30 and 6:15 there was music for the Luau people. For our next visit we will avoid the Thursday night.
