In my 26 years on-Island I have eaten at the Kahala for numerous Holiday Brunches. This year's brunch was more expansive than previous year. And, the food quality was exceptional.

Roy’s is all that is promised. For anyone drawn to cuisine experiences, a pilgrimage to Roy’s is a must! To do so at the original Roy’s is to begin at the beginning. From the edamame to the pineapple upside down cake, our dining experience was a joy. Experienced talented staff and a wonderful chat with the manager created an experience that we cannot wait to reproduce! Run…don’t walk…to the Original Roy’s Hawaii Kai!

The food, and service is excellent. My wife and I dined at Hoku's before and we decided to introduce them to the restaurant and their feedback was they haven't tasted food that great. Matter of fact one of our guest remarked that "...even the cruise ship don't have food this good." We'll be back.
