    Starting off positive. the staff is great best on Kauai. The sun set was epic. Ask for a seat by the back window. The ambiance is perfect. Now the disappointment. I looked on the website before we arrived and got the Honolulu menu, boy was I disappointed. Oh well it's Kauai. We ordered potstickers "good", blue crab fritters. Confused they were hushpuppys cold hushpuppys. Ribeye steak well cooked and seasoned but it was practically a cut of pot roast meat with so much sinue and gristle my husband couldn't cut a piece away from the slab. The center part was good. And I had a Ceasars salad it was delicious. And the pineapple upside-down cake was epic. My conclusion is listen to your waiter he/she will tell you what is good, don't go off script. Merry Christmas

    I love everything about this restaurant. The food is extraordinary and the service could not have been better. It was the best way to wrap up our vacation in Kauai. I’d highly recommend it.

    Service was great. Server was very attentive and checked on us frequently. The food was awesome. It was served Hot & the taste was on point. The atmosphere was great. I liked that we weren’t cramped up next to anyone else. Although it did get a little loud at times, it was okay since everyone was enjoying themselves. It was a great birthday celebration for my other half. Thank-you!!

    Seemed as tho they were understaffed. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Our dinner took forever to get to us. Underwhelming to say the least.
