   Great server, good cocktails. Our table had fish, salad and beef, all were prepared to order. The Cesar salad was a little heavy on the dressing for my liking, good flavor, just too much. As it filled up it got quite noisy. I would go back.

   Too noisy, bad acoustics, adequate service – but only adequate. The food was mediocre. My son‘s steak pupu was so tough it was like chewing shoe leather.

   Way too loud- hard to have a conversation. Small but varied menu and good drink assortment.

   Great little restaurant in Makawao. I army dinner right when they opened. Our server was great. Very attentive and friendly. We ordered several happy hour dishes and entrees. Started with buffalo wings, had the smash burger with truffle fries, wedge salad, truffle Mac and cheese, Kanaka stew and Fish and chips. Only disappointing thing was their malt vinegar too was missing and I didn’t notice it until I poured a ton of it on my fish 👎🏼. I would recommend a Hispanic you are in the area though.

    Where to start? The service was impeccable! Attentive and kind lady who took such good care of us. The food, 10/10. Every flavor was perfectly balanced and kept me excited for the next bite. The overall vibe of this place is warm, inviting and fillled with Aloha. Chef Scotty is a hero. Can’t wait to go back.
