We had three dishes and they were all outstanding. Incredibly creative and delicious. Anyone visiting Waikiki must give this place a try if you love food, all the more so. it is at the far eastern end of Waikiki and therefore a little out of the way (20 - 25 min walk for the centre of Waikiki or a five minute drive) but well worth it. In addition to the great food, the service was impeccable. very good wine selection, fantastic cocktails as well. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant.

Every dish was incredible. From a simple yet complex salad to some of the best seafood dishes we have ever experienced. The service was top notch and the dinner was very welled paced. We couldn’t choose our most favorite dish, as all become our favorites.

The food here is delicious. It was our second time. Way more people so it was loud, but the complimentary Mai Tai was a welcome surprise. Our waitress tried to upsell us another entree. We had three people and ordered salad, mushrooms, ahi, one dessert. It was the perfect amount of food for us, just a little dessert left to take home. We will go again on our next trip here.

It needs a more expansive menu. The romaine salad was delicious and the chocolate dessert was fabulous. I just wish there were more items on the menu to choose from.

Food was amazing and we had exceptional service. It’s a definite must when considering Honolulu restaurants-a bit out of the craziness of Waikiki but within walking distance.

One of the finest dining experiences we have had albeit the experience was pricy. Food was excellent and service was perfect. It was worth the cost if you’re looking for a special dinner out.
