Fried oysters were great but the popcorn crawfish was pretty well all breading and no crawfish. Crab leg tortellini was excellent as was the NZ Waipahu Sauvignon Blanc

This place has always been a favorite, but last night’s dinner was extra perfect. We came in as a group of 9 to share an intimate wedding dinner and the restaurant went out of their way to make everything perfect for us. The area we were seated in was adorable and very quiet - even when the restaurant was packed we felt like the only ones there. Excellent food, delicious drinks, great service. Can’t recommend IST enough for a celebration!
