    We were shocked by a woman coming around with a basket to ask for cash for the singers. Then, the singers counted out the cash on the stage before leaving. We had never seen this before.

    The view was the star, but the ambiance and food were neck and neck for second place. Cameron, our server is one of the Best servers we have ever had. This is truly saying something as we eat out a LOT. Jasmine Nicole was performing some cool renditions of popular songs in the background while we drank our Mai Tais and munched on our Kalua Pork Pineapple pizza. There was a twist to it…they used Pesto as the sauce and added some Jalapeños—Excellent beginning to the night. We then had our main course, Macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi for me and Lobster Pasta for my hubby. Everything was done extremely well. Our best night out in Waikiki.

    Our dinners were excellent and we each had a craft cocktail from their drink menu. The drinks were done well and paired with our food. Service was very good with excellent timing and efficiently done. We had the banana cream pie which was also very good. Live background music added a special touch. Thinking about going back soon.
