"When I first saw all those reviews, I was kinda skeptical, thinking maybe they were just paid for or something. But man, the moment I tried that first appetizer, I was blown away. The calamari? So fresh and tender, like nothing I’ve ever tasted. We went for the prime rib and mixed grills too, and everything was top-notch. We’re not usually into places that feel like a hotel lobby, but I’m so glad we gave this one a shot. It was amazing."

"Very friendly staff, and delicious food. Really enjoyed the steak medallions that were cooked to the perfect temp. Also enjoyed a bottle of the tempranillo. Our server was very helpful and well informed, but all of the employees seemed very friendly as well. We managed to get a same day reservation for 4, so give them a call."

"We loved the atmosphere and the food. The poke was beautifully presented on crispy wanton wraps with intricate well balanced flavours. The home-made pasta was faultless. The lobster bisque was creamy, rich and tasty. But the lava cake was really the thing to die for. It was so decadent I would eat it every time I'm here. If you want to try it, order the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory Warm Cake on the menu."

"We’d heard great things, but finally went for it and oh my goodness I can’t believe we waited so long! The food is absolutely amazing. Flavors are all excellent, beautiful presentation, lovely atmosphere, and friendly and professional service. Personal favorites were the papaya seed dressing salad and the sweet potato ravioli, but also at our table was the vegetarian lasagna and the fresh fish. Everything was excellent! We finished off with the lava cake; it was absolutely decadent and delicious. Not a ton of vegan options, but we did well with vegetarians at the table. A little pricey so not your every night dinner spot, but we’ll worth it so a special treat. Highly recommended!"

"Wish we went here more than once. Went to book online before our trip they were full online but I called and the nice employee squeezed us in for a Saturday night. Food was the best on the island. I had the chicken and mushrooms so moist big piece of chicken great mashed potatoes. Husband had the meatloaf another delicious meal and portion. Cesar salads were good and the bread kept coming before our meal. Ordered the chocolate lava cake excellent. Service was great!!! Mahalo"
