    The Valentine's Day buffet was absolutely incredible - I was looking for a place that was offering seafood and at least one potato dish, some of my wife's favourite foods, and Naupaka delivered! We arrived about half an hour before our reservation and were invited to check out the property. There were hula lessons happening, then a Polynesian dance group, and then live music. The variety of food was great! The poke was the best I've ever had, the steak, while all cooked medium or more, was tender and juicy, and there was enough variety that almost anybody would find something they'd fall in love with, and the dessert selection - which included fresh chocolate covered strawberries - was enough to tempt you away from filling up on just entrees. My wife, who hates coffee, wants to give a special shoutout to the mocha mousse, which she snuck out a second of to save for later!

    Great drinks and food, bartenders and servers were all very nice and attentive. Service was quick. Quality of food was very good but Caesar dressing was a bit weird ((I still ate it) and I don’t think pickled onions belong on a Caesar even tho I like pickled onions. The servings were generous. Wings and fish and chips were yummy.
