    A friend took me there earlier tonight for my birthday. We got there during happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by the prices and number of items on the happy hour menu. It ends at 5:30 and lots of places end it at 5 so we started out with a good impression. She got the Kailua pig quesadillas and I got fish and chips. She ordered the green beans as well. Everything was delicious! Our waiter was friendly and was very familiar with the food and drinks on the menu. My cocktail was called something crush. Yummy! Overall a really great experience.

    Excellent across the board. Down to earth, quiet elegance. Food presentation amazing and beautiful. The service—it’s like you …no, you are VIP. Expensive and i missed my complimentary champagne they used to give. That was a cool tradition that should be brought back.

    Menu is great and so are their dishes. However, the acoustics are awful; it was difficult having a conversation with the people at the same table. We could barely hear one another, and we were constantly repeating ourselves. With that being said, I would go back there but would request sitting in a quieter area. I would also like mention that service was excellent.

    This is one of our go to restaurants in HNL. We have been going here since it opened and as well to its predecessor at the Modern. While the food is exquisite (sticky ribs are the best you will ever have), we have determined that the real reason we keep coming back is the staff. This year, they confirmed that beyond our expectations. Bryan was our server and he was fantastic, enthusiastic and friendly. The manager, Vinnie, came over to our table and a good visit turned into something truly memorable! Thank you Vinnie! We look forward to continuing to come back; for the food but more importantly, the amazing/great/welcoming staff!
