    Another great meal at Deck. Tables were a bit crowded due to the rain, but food was great as usual! Service was fantastic, and the views of Diamond Head, even in the rain, were beautiful as always.

    Goofy is located just on the outside of Hilton Hawaiian Village. We had a dinner reservation and got in right on time. Based on popularity I would say if you want to get in for dinner have a reservation. The food and atmosphere were great. It is a small place. We had the goat cheese board as an appetizer, wife had mahi mahi, and I had pork chop. All were great. We had great service and would come back.
