   Usually, my experience is good, but this time, I have to say I was a little disappointed. The appetizers were good, but the coffee was cold. Our wait staff remedied it quickly so that was okay. But then the entree came and it, too was cold. I was hungry and didn't want to bother returning it, but this was not acceptable food. The burger patty in the loco moco was also very tough and on the drier side. The taste itself was very good though. I just wish it was served at the correct temperature with the burger having a better texture. I will count this as a one-off and will definitely go again. As I said, the food is usually very good so, while I will go again, I hope the quality of the food becomes more consistent.

   The food was very good. The service was okay; server took our orders, re-filled water glasses, served the food with little enthusiasm. Only when we were leaving she smiled and waved good-bye.

   Our group of 5 retired friends were pleased with our mutual choice of the Hawaiian Cuban (sandwich). Layers of Kalua pig, laulau, easy over egg on crispy toasted sourdough…what’s here not to love? Yummm!

   it was a bit on the noisy side; I guess it will always depend on who is dining. Service was great as usual. The locomoco was delicious; the mushroom sandwich was excellent; unfortunately the risotto was a bit too sweet for our taste.

   Kapa Hale always serves up great food and last night was no exception! My table ordered a variety of dishes including the arancini, cornbread w/ both the lilikoi honey butter and uni butter, the Winter set menu (the favorite from that was the Funghi pasta), the steak, the Hawaiian lechon, and many other dishes. Everything was crafted to perfection! The service was excellent as well! They gifted us an order of brussel sprouts to start since they felt the food was taking longer than normal, which was so kind of them (and the Brussels were delicious!). The chef came to our table at the end of the night to thank us for supporting and apologize again for the wait, which we didn’t think was that bad since we were lost in conversation. I guess that shows how attentive they are and it was a nice gesture for the chef to come to the table himself. We will definitely be back!

   This place has potential. I saw this was in the consideration for a james beard award. Overall value wise this place is a solid pick. Good food local ingredients. What needs improving but I think it will. The wine list was "in transition" our waitress said as the wine we chose by the glass was not available. The staff not really knowing the wine list is something to improve. The overall look of the bathrooms. They desperately need remodeled. Overall good food at a fair price. It is not fine dining. It is local dining and that is ok if that what you are expecting.

   Great neighborhood restaurant. Chef Lee came home from NYC and brought his own fusion style cuisine. It all works wonderfully.

    Very tasty fusion food and friendly service. The restaurant looks like it is a slightly upgraded mall restaurant, so not exactly elegant -- but an excellent value given the quality of the food.
