    Our reservation was at 8:45 pm and it was not super busy. It was a fun, relaxed ambiance and we enjoyed the live music! The food was great for the most part. I enjoyed the macadamia crusted mahi mahi. The pizzas were good. Shrimp appetizer was only so-so (but our waiter did warn us it wasn’t the best thing on the menu - my daughter just really wanted shrimp). The service was great. I wish I remembered our waiter’s name because he was really friendly and engaging and deserves a shout out. I would definitely recommend.

    What could be better than a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while you eat? The food! Our dinners were outstanding. My wife said it was the best steak she’d ever had, and my daughter said the same about here pasta. All four of our meals were excellent, no one was disappointed. My only complaint is that we were all too full to even share a piece of Hula pie!

    Consistently good service and food For this high end type of restaurant they should have a better check in process There is constantly walk ins from the hotel that run in ahead of people with reservations There should be a defined separate method for those coming in who have made reservations months ahead like most locals do than those walking in It’s like a cattle stampede with rude people pushing into one small doorway No other high end restaurant has this issue. Servers and food are great. Even the limited eating time works because orders come out quickly. But the entry always causes some anxiety Fix that and it’s a perfect place to eat
