    The Mai Tais with Lilikoi foam was outstanding. The mixed greens salad was superb. My wife’s Campeche was over cooked and dry. The kale was great. My lamb chops were very salty which took away from their flavor.. the corn and corn bread were very good. The Strawberry cream pie was Ok. The service was excellent.

    Gotta have the truffle fries and mai tai with/out alcohol. Tuna sandwich special was fresh and delish! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Super friendly staff at each point and level.
