    Wonderful food and ambiance. Two favorite entrees, Pulled pork and enchilada pie, seem to be off the menu. Service was extremely slow due to a staffing shortage. Our server did the best she could under the circumstances.

    We always enjoy eating at the general store. Unfortunately they took our favorite item off the menu. Open table has not updated their menu. Kaluha pork enchilada pie is no longer offered. The Tai Mai is the best Mai tai on the island. Also the banana cheesecake is fantastic.

    We all had a great lunch. I had the grilled mahi with rice and lemon grass sauce. Dan had poke and Linda had a sashimi dish. All very good. The soup of the day (potato leek) was outstanding.
