    Had lunch here with the ladies today. It was our first time and we all enjoyed it. We ordered the Biscuits in a bag with jam and the truffle fries for appetizer. Couple ladies tried and loved their cocktail “A Honu World”. For lunch we had the Smashed Burger, prime Rib Moco, Chicken Pot Pie, Fresh Fish Sandwich and their version of the Saimin. Then for dessert we had the bread pudding, coconut lime sorbet, coffee and vanilla ice cream. The sorbet was delicious and refreshing and my fish sandwich was moist and oh so yummy! Our server Dylan ( I’m sorry, I hope I got that right) was helpful and attentive. Service and food are 5 stars!

    Awesome experience... Parking started off as a bit of a challenge because I drive a big truck but the valet was super helpful and I ended up finding a better parking street parking right next to the restaurant! Our server was awesome but unfortunately I didnt catch his name... I was a little skeptical about the portion sizes because I'm a big guy and upscale restaurants are usually skimpy on the entrees... but I was pleasantly content after destroying the 3-course meal lol... This was a great first experience here and we enjoyed our Valentines Dinner alot... Mahalo Chef Chai!!
