The Christmas dinner buffet was ok. The pupus, salads, sides were better than meat mains. The meat mains were bland and dry. The reason for my one star review is due to bad services and rude staff. We were made to wait an hour for a table even though there were 8-10 empty tables… pretty bad management by hostess. And then when we were seated our server was extremely rude and was acting like they were doing us a favour! And we barely got our meat mains when we were slapped with bill on the table…. No asking if everything was good and if we were having a good time. And then they came back again and asked us for a card very rudely. We felt we were being rushed out !!! This has been my most awful experience ever at a restaurant. Would not recommend this restaurant at all even to those staying in the resort.

They had two new servers in training so that did affect service. The French onion soup had a good flavor but it was so thick it could not really be called soup. The broccolini was excellent. The pork belly was tasty but the bow was compressed and flat and dry. The sauce didn’t really help. The best salad was loaded with beets but just not very good..

The restaurant was undergoing major renovations so they suggested we eat elsewhere. The menu was extremely limited and it was not a nice setting. We did leave and go elsewhere.

Restaurant is under renovation and menu offerings were limited. Food was overpriced and the quality just wasn’t there. We were left very disappointed.

Perfect dinner to end our vacation. It was quiet, near the water and delicious. They were a little understaffed at the time, so service promptness was a little slower but we were in Kauai, on the beach so it didn't matter too much.

This place has a very limited menu of very poor food. I would highly suggest anyone stay away. They had 1 fish choice, limited other choices. Typical overpriced hotel food with marginal service. Avoid this place!
