    D.J. was OUTSTANDING in his Customer Service ‼️So accommodating and kind. Very knowledgeable about the menu and what is offered. We will be back because of his aloha spirit and sweet attitude towards us Tutu’s❣️Also, Shea is terrific too‼️ PLEASE go back to offering the Squash Ravioli the new one is not at all flavorful and doesn’t NOT compare and the Pot Stickers are okay but not as good as the ones before. The Deviled Eggs, New Shrimp 🍤 Appetizer, Fish n Chips, Lamb, etc…are wonderful! If you could make a Day After Pork Belly Ramen as you do at your other Merriman Restaurant that would be great‼️ Mahalo Nui Loa for an enjoyable mealtime and beautiful music 🎶. Suszi🌺

    Extremely unique and worth it. This place is up on the mountain, and the architecture alone is a sight to see. The service is on point, and the food is 5 stars. I highly recommend seeing the restaurant and gardens to have a less commercialized experience.

    Great meal. Wonderful and creative preparation. Every dish was excellent. The service was good and reasonably attentive. My biggest surprise was that the restaurant advertised “family style” and sharing, but the menu was not designed for it. An appetizer could accommodate one or two people and an entree was for one. Kind of standard and it missed my expectations.
