    We had reservation on Christmas Day for dinner. They were one of the only restaurants in the area open and they were BUSY! We arrived early for our reservation and ended up just sitting at the bar since there was open seating. The bartenders were great! It was fun watching drinks being made for the whole restaurant. Our food came out timely and everything was perfect. We even shared the crème brûlée to top off the evening. We really appreciated how hard the whole staff was working on a holiday to make everyone feel welcome and special. Highly recommended!!

    We had an early 5pm Christmas Eve seating. The restaurant wasn't very crowded. The staff was very attentive. It's a lovely setting facing the ocean off of Kailua Bay, and we watched the sun set. The meals were delicious. I had the stuffed Ono with a lobster cream cheese sauce and Cajun spices. It was excellent! My husband had his usual fish and chips, also very good. We started with the chowder soup for my husband. I had a very large green salad with the house made thousand island dressing. Again, both were very good.
