    Food was outstanding! We made the reservation without knowing they would have a thanksgiving menu and were anticipating seafood, but could not resist trying the special thanksgiving selections. They did not disappoint. We started with the Ube bread, and with the melted honey butter and drinks, made a tasty start to the evening. The seafood coming to tables around us looked fantastic also and I only wish we could have had more time on Maui to return and try more. We will be back in the future!

    Very popular spot on the beach so crowded and noisy. Had reservation and were seated quickly on arrival. Waiter was prompt, courteous and friendly. Menu selection good, prepared well in reasonable time. Mac crusted Mahi Mahi was outstanding. A bit pricey but not unusual for Kaanapali beachfront.
