   Disappointing unfortunately. Looked so good in terms of menu depth, and ambience. But in reality, the food quality was mid to low and the service was molasses. Couldn’t wait to be done with dinner. Will definitely not return to this places

   Service was very good and the ambiance was very comfortable and lively outside. Great menu, but we weren’t that impressed with the food - the wagyu on the hot stone was a highlight, as were the ali’i mushroom skewers. Would return for a drink or light meal.

   Overall, dining here was a lovely experience. Our reservation was pero-sunset so the background was beautiful. The service is EXCELLENT. Our drinks were great (2-Classic Margaritas). The food was good. My mom ordered the pork belly dish and we found out it only come with two pieces of pork belly, sadly.

   Delicious food and really nice service. If you go, and leave room for dessert, try the brownie. It comes with mochi and a chocolate crisp and caramel sauce. Delicious and not overly sweet. Also the Kona coffee is wonderful.

   Food was great, service was good, the location is at the Fairmont orchid, so the surroundings were pretty. My only complete would be that I was putting in a table where there was not much light. They give you a little light to put on your table, but it wasn’t enough.

   First I have to say that the staff is very friendly! But for a 5 star resort the food is not quite up to par. That the prices are a bit higher is to be expected but the food should match that. The chicken kraage was ok, a bit dry, we‘ve had much better at other places. The lemon aioli is nice tho. My pork belly fried rice was tasty and had a lot of rice BUT only 2 small pieces of pork belly. My husband had the robatayaki traditional and was underwhelmed with the small pieces of meat and fish. Also, I had mentioned our Anniversary when booking and while the hostess said happy Anniversary while seating us, never have we ever not gotten a little appetizer, dessert or drink on the house for a special occasion.

   First impression walking in was amazing, this is going to be a great meal. The waiter was attentive so no complaints there. Drinks were well below average. And they were $26 each. To have a drink overlooking the ocean, I’m not happy to pay $26 but I accept it. I would just ask that it be well-balanced. martini was luke warm and the high ball tasted overwhelmingly like ginger ale and melted ice :/ Meal was so/so. Sushi roll was a 6/10, glazed mahi mahi bowl was overcooked and under seasoned 5/10. Great potential because of the ambiance and location, but as many other commenters have said, poor execution on the food and drinks

    The atmosphere was wonderful, the food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend. Decent value considering the high prices prevalent in this area.
