    Great service, food was good. There is a live music, so it is a bit loud. I would go again for lunch when there is no music.

    Restaurant actually gave me the table requested which was great. Got champagne for our anniversary which was a nice surprise. Food was delicious and the service was good. Great sunset views from this restaurant and the cocktails were very good.

    Excellent service, beautiful view of ocean at sunset. The restaurant was loud because it was busy but we were still able to carry on a conversation. The live music was amazing! Food was great, especially the dessert. The Mai Tai was fantastic. We will be back!

    Poor service such as spilling my beer and not giving my daughter her silverware. Very expensive food and drinks. Would not come back

    The ambiance was great, it’s located right on the water in Waikiki with both sunset & Diamond Head views. Naomi was our server and her customer service was 10/10! She was very friendly and attentive - thanks Naomi!

    “Tii” (aka: Tida) is the best server. She is full of energy and super bubbly. Funny too. Wife and I had a great time here. Enjoyed the food and view. It is literally right on the beach. Food delicious and drinks outrageous. You use stop in.
