We had a lovely lunch overlooking the ocean. My little niece was very excited when her pasta turned up in a red sports car. The dumplings were a stand out and everyone keeps talking about the edamame and sliders. Super easy booking process but they also could seat walk-ins, great parking and staff were very accommodating. We’ll definitely be adding this as our lunch or dinner stop when we take visitors to tour this part of the island.Is this helpful?

What a delightful evening we enjoyed! I have waited YEARS for this iconic restaurant to reopen! The holiday ambiance and decor was lovely.. The entertainment was wonderful.. a sweet mix of classic tunes and island favorites, with a couple holiday tunes.. The sunset and the full moon made for the perfect evening, as did the Miso Salmon, the delicious salad and Okinawan sweet potato.. and the lemon pie for dessert! The drinks were perfectly mixed, and the staff was friendly, helpful, warm and welcoming.. I can’t wait to return!Is this helpful?

Food and service was outstanding! Bit pricey but it was all good. A little humid, could use some outdoor fans. Other than that I’d highly recommend it!Is this helpful?
