    We had a wonderful experience dining here this evening. A big mahalo to all the staff for accommodating my extended family of 7, including a toddler. Our server was on-point, great selection of drinks, the view excellent, the ambiance and noise levels just right. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but especially the mini poke tacos, the mahi tacos and the kids pizza was a huge success for a picky eater.

    ハワイに行く度に利用しています。海辺で雰囲気が良いことと金曜日であればヒルトンの花火も近いためおすすめです。 料理にステーキをミディアムで依頼しましたがカッチカチに焼かれていたことが残念でした。あと、娘が頼んだキッズメニューのチーズピザもチーズの癖が強すぎたので子ども向けではありませんでした。

    Definitely recommend. Food was very very good. Service was solid. The decor, ambiance, and vibe were very cool, AFTER the “band” which was basically two guys with a guitar and a keyboard mostly karaokeing boy band covers. Bad. Once they stopped we could have stayed there all night.
