    Had one of the worst omelets ever. The zucchini. I’m talking bitter, not even a taste of egg. Just awful. Tried one bite, was so bad that I just covered it with napkin and asked for the check as to not cause an issue. Waitress noticed, apologized and said she gets that reaction all of the time to this dish. If wait staff is getting that feedback wonder why they don’t just take it off the menu. Great service, bad food.

    A bit of trouble getting our meals at the same time (8 of us) the food was ok, a few were over cooked and 1 was undercooked… the desserts were fabulous.

    Our first meal this trip to Maui was at this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We shared a few appetizers and followed with a Caesar salad which was delicious. The appetizers included grilled shrimp, steamed clams and escargot. The presentation of the food was done very artfully. It was busy and the waiter did a good job attending to our dining experience. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Maui.
