    We had a delightful 31st anniversary sunset dinner on the moonlight beach. Every course was spot on, delicious and plated beautifully. Our server and the manager were extremely friendly and welcoming. It was the perfect ending to our three weeks of island hopping. Mahalo nui loa Mike & Jenn

    Outstanding experience from the moment we walked in. As always, exceptional service, friendly and prompt. The Kalua pork Quesadilla, our must have to start, along w/ the Green beans. The homemade chicken pot pie /veggies is Spectacular! It looked & tasted like it belonged on a Food magazine cover, the fresh herbs keep me coming back! The fresh fish tacos exceptional as always. Their homemade lemonade is delightfully refreshing. We came here for an early dinner (3:45pm) then a great movie across the street, the perfect time to reconnect. We especially appreciate the great playlist of Hawaiian music, many favs to bring back wonderful memories

    We hadnt eaten at Basalt since late 2025. We had family in from Molokai and decided to take them to try it out. We had loved it before, and this was no different. From the service to the drinks, to the food, to the atmosphere...everything was top-notch. A must try if you have not eaten there already. We did not have to wait for service, and the food stand outs were the prime rib (so tender), mushroom risoto (lovely flavors and texture), ahi and shutomi cooked just right and flavorful), the gnocchi is made in house and some of the best we have had -BUT- you have to like tomato sauce. The same ingredients without the tomato sauce would be lovely too. The clam & shrimp pupus were killer and the amuse bouche was a lovely treat. We also shared the mochi brownie and pog pie desserts. Both very lovely. The mochi brownie would level up a notch with vanilla gelato (they ran out). We were stuffed when we left and were still talking about it the day after. Highly recommend!
