    Always delightful to be outdoors enjoying the wonderful artists under the Hau tree. However, very disappointed with the host staff not acknowledging or honoring my preferred seating request when clearly there were those types of seats available as I had to politely insist on being moved. It worked out in the end, but I just wish that the staff was made to understand that if we're going to go to the convenience of making our reservations through OpenTable noting special occasions (this was an anniversary dinner -- also not acknowledged) and other requests, that they take the time to read the note(s) and do their best to fulfill the request(s).

    Very pricey for what you get. The food was good, but still felt overpriced. The mai tai is not worth $24 at all, it’s batched. Our server was overall inattentive and had an attitude when she did come around. The sunset was beautiful with the live music, even though they only played for about 20 minutes during our 90 minute-2 hour dining experience. I wouldn’t return for dinner. Possibly a (different) cocktail during sunset. There are much better places out there.

    We always enjoy our times here! Especially the Mai Tais! And they made our hamburgers special even though they weren’t on the dinner menu!
