    I was pleased to see butterfish in the menu and it did not disappoint! Had a fantastic coconut lavender martini that was surprising well balanced and would order again. Our server Jessica was great. Knew when to stop in and check in us and when to leave us to lick the plates clean (she doesn’t judge).

    Best food we had on the Big island! Loved the Mai Tai (only $10!), bread and coffee crusted NY steak. My husband got the miso butterfish and also loved it.

    We really enjoyed our dinner here. The bread, poke app, surf and turf and chocolate crème brûlée was absolutely excellent. We loved our meal and the service was great. I would absolutely recommend this resturant!

    Dined at FORC with a group of friends had a wonderful time. Food and service were excellent. I had a salad with a roasted pineapple dressing it was so delicious and the roasted beets are the best I have ever had and I am not a beet fan. The preparations of the dishes here are so unique. I love dining here
