   Main problem is Apple map didn’t show location is on side of the building and where to park as there is no valet. Hostess explained where parking was available.

   最初店内の席を予約していましたが、案内された時にあまりの騒々しさにテラス席を希望して、変えていただきました。テラス席は静かで雰囲気も良く快適でした。店内も雰囲気は素晴らしいと思いましたが、他のお客様の話し声がとても響いて、普通に会話できる状態ではありませんでした。お食事も美味しくあとは何の問題もありません。テラス席でいいお食事をいただきました。ありがとうございました。

   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.

   The food was good and tasty but the portions were small and pricey. I could see myself coming back here for fancy dinners or meetings but difficult to return for regular occasions.

   Booked 6 people for a birthday dinner. Wife surprised me with two other guests. Super accommodating with the addition. Considering it’s the holiday season they went above and beyond. Server was extremely knowledgeable of menu and wine list. Best veal I’ve had. Was pricey but worth it.

   This was our second visit - the food is fantastic, and service is excellent. The only drawback is the noise level which can prohibit conversation at times for those of us who have a hard time hearing. If that is the case try to avoid the main dinning area and sit up front by the bar where it was slightly easier to hear. Otherwise - try the octopus, cauliflower and the ribeye. Absolutely the best in town.

   We made a reservation on OpenTable for an upscale weekday casual dinner. The restaurant was full upon check in and we opted for bar seats and cocktails until the table was ready. We were moved from the bar top to the bar lounge area for dining. We did not get food menus or a server until we asked. Oops. The 3 of us ordered 2 pastas, fritto misto, crispy rice crudo, veal parm, 3 sides and a bottle of wine. The appetizers set the bar very high. Now for the $88 veal parmesan. It was interesting. Bone in thick section and very thin everywhere else. It was almost too crunchy (think crackers) as it was pan fried but with two different thicknesses. I'm guessing the thin part was overdone by the time the thick bone part was done. The sauce, tomato, cheese topping was no match for the now very firm breading. If you held a piece of veal on the edge with thumb and index fingers it would self support horizontally like a ritz. Biting down on it would echo inside your jaw. Shame. Wine pairing and wine glasses were wow. Look up glasvin stemware. Bartender did a good job and made a memorable impression. Everything else was fine, nothing to write home about. All in all I'd go back to try the rest of the menu eventually. I'm not dying to go back but I won't suggest another restaurant if someone picks Cino.

   Fabulous experience. The food was amazing. The service was outstanding. JR didn’t miss a step. He explained the restaurant concept, the key players in the restaurant, and description of the menu items were spot on. Well done Cino. A whole new feel and taste to Honolulu. Bravo

   Great food and service. High ceilings so it's very noisy. You don't go here to visit/talk.
