    Pros 1. Ambience was incredible! We were seated outside for dinner and had clear views of the ocean and the dolphins area! Amazing! 2. Live music after 5:30 pm! 3. Free valet parking 4. Top shelf alcohol is very affordable. Cons 1. We made a reservation at 5 pm. Upon being seated we learned that the kitchen would not be open until 5:30 pm. Very disappointed in learning that and wish that either reservation started at 5:30 pm or a warning issued that the kitchen would not be open until 30 minutes after reservation. 2. Lack of variety in entree or appetizers menu. Only five entrees to choose from involving Pasta, Venison or seafood. Very limited. 3. Salmon tasted very bland as did the potatoes. However, the salmon was cooked to perfection. The dill sauce just barely awakened my senses. 4. No traditional lounge food. Traditional lounge food is usually finger food. (Husband's comment lol)

    The venue was perfect for Valentine's Day. Facing the ocean, pool and palm trees and live music on the background was why we return to this restaurant. Special mention to our server, Scott, who was professional and friendly. Mahalo again !

    Gets little warm later when sun sets. Need alternative to block entrance with shade. 3 tables ended up super hot with no alternatives. Too hot.

    The perfect spot for a special occasion celebration 🥂. The small bites were executed perfectly and high quality tea and bubbly (my fave Veuve Clicqout). There was live music that added to the atmosphere. Absolutely lovely.

    Food was all delicious, but the service was above and beyond. I was offered a wrap to help with the nip in the open air. The server was so patient and kind, and brought us TWO complimentary desserts for our special occasion. Truly a memorable experience.
