Nothing beats the view if you are fortunate enough to get a table by the edge facing the ocean. We reserved our table on thanksgiving day in time to see the sun go down and a sunset over the ocean in Hawaii is very hard to beat. It does indeed create memories. The food was ok. But honestly the service was great and the atmosphere was what it was all about. Come here for that if not for anything else.
