    Poor service such as spilling my beer and not giving my daughter her silverware. Very expensive food and drinks. Would not come back

    The ambiance was great, it’s located right on the water in Waikiki with both sunset & Diamond Head views. Naomi was our server and her customer service was 10/10! She was very friendly and attentive - thanks Naomi!

    “Tii” (aka: Tida) is the best server. She is full of energy and super bubbly. Funny too. Wife and I had a great time here. Enjoyed the food and view. It is literally right on the beach. Food delicious and drinks outrageous. You use stop in.

    When you have to wait 10 minutes for the bathroom to get clean, just ruins the experience

    Farm to fork Hawaiian restaurant. We weee a three generation table of 10. It was the First meal together for family vaca. The Appetizers weee the favorites, esp cast iron shrimp ( Oo that sauce!) . Note tables >6 are more inner- don’t get same ocean view as majority of tables. Too bad, though flights were delayed so we were late anyway. Live music was near and really lovely- the right volume- which is hard and was unexpected ( we were afraid when the musician started setting up.) overall good experience.

    予約した時間では、海側はすぐに通されませんでしたが、20分〜30分待つことで、最高の景色の席に通してもらえました。サーバーのサービスも最高です。

    Great visit although very noisy and crowded. Beautiful sunset spot. Food and service was great but we were charged 50.00 big table levy and we also paid a tip. Not explained very well
