The experience was very rushed. We ordered cocktails and a shared appetizer and individual entrees. The drinks came out and were lovely. A few minutes later the appetizer arrived and it was also very nice, but after about 10 minutes the entrees arrived before we had gotten half way through the appetizer. I don’t know why they were rushing us, we did not have a late reservation and there were plenty of other diners, although lots of empty tables and no one waiting. We decided to forgo wine with the meal and dessert and I think were out of there in under an hour. Not relaxed or enjoyable even though the food was very good.

ハワイの他のイタリアンレストランでも、ウニパスタを食べていますが、ここのウニパスタはとても美味しかったです。日本人の口に合うのかな？バゲットをおかわりして、ソースを全てさらって食べましたボンゴレやカプレーゼも美味しくて楽しいお食事になりました。予約時に「誕生日」にチェックしていたら、ドルチェのプレートがお誕生日プレートになっていました。

Valentine's Day and I brought the family out. I'm sure the food is good, I just have an allergy to cheese that they were not ready for. They did their best to accommodate me, but I would have preferred to have a meal option versus a last-minute salad. At any rate, we had a great time with our waiter and another dining guest. All in all, it was a good experience, albeit it left us still feeling hungry. We visited a second restaurant to complete our evening.

When we entered, there were huge fish tank ( aquarium), we could enjoy looking at fish. I loved all dishes we ordered. How they presented Uni with shell, was artistic, and we loved the taste of consommé jelly with Uni mousse and Uni. We loved Caesar salad with raw egg on top, mixed with Caesar dressing. The best dish is Uni pasta, so creamy and very rich taste. Thank you so much.

We had the caprese salad and tiger prawns for appetizers and pasta dishes for the main course. The food and service were all very good. We enjoyed the aquarium making up one wall of the restaurant. The meal was very expensive.

This restaurant is in the lobby of the hotel. The noise of the lobby is constant. It is average at best… We made a detour for it and it was not worth it at all. Will not recommand nor go back gain.
