    Our meal and service was exceptional. We tried to purchase your keoki coasters in merchandise and could not get anyone to come over and sell them to us. This was unfortunate because we loved out meal and dining experience. Our waitress was excellent!

    Our waiter, Keenan, provided excellent service and was delightful and gracious. We loved everything we ordered, from pupus, to salad bar, entrées and Hula Pie! Yummo! The view of Kalapaki Bay is always beautiful and the live music was the chef’s kiss, topping off the ambiance to our lovely evening. Highly recommend! Mahalo nui loa!

    Absolutely delicious from start to finish! The before dinner cocktails were fantastic highly recommend anything made with their mezcal! The appetizers featured some of the most delicious ravioli I’ve ever tasted and the filet was just an absolute chefs kiss which was a relief for me because of my fish allergy. The deserts were good but not the highlight however the desert drinks were on point !! This is definitely an instant family classic and we can’t wait to come back !
