    It's typical golf country club cafe. The service is very good but not a place I would go back as we're staying at waikoloa

    We had waited months to try this place because it was always crowded. Got a 7:30pm reservation on a Saturday night. Experienced a long wait for water and waiter. Long wait in between courses. Long wait for drink refills. Sound system bad and we did not appreciate the choice of music. Food was pretty good when it came.

    Food was great but the restaurant is so greedy. They charged me $5 for sauce for my $60 steak only. Everything is alacarte. So while the food and service was great. Just wasn’t worth the hefty bill. I would rather go to Roy’s or Jackie Rey’s where you get 2 sides with the steak.

    Beautiful view but the food was marginal. I first want to say 1 waitress for the entire restaurant is ridiculous. My burger was so overcooked it was crisp. Other people on my table could see it was overcooked just looking at it. Another girl had Ahi that was also way overcooked. Things with breading had small shrimp and huge amounts of breading. Waitress was pleasant enough but hard to find since waiting on the entire restaurant.

    Best Porkchop I’ve ever had! Very affordable for Hawaii and when we went there was some nice live music. Full bar with good cocktails. Would definitely come back again

    It has been a while since I have found a restaurant worth talking about. The food was delicious. Can’t wait to go again.

    Lots of misses. Has great potential. Food was just ok but way overpriced for the quality. Offer sauces with your steaks. Wine list we got was all international but they said they had domestic but no list when we asked.
