    I love this restaurant but it has a limited menu so I mostly eat the same thing all the time. Service was good but server forgot to bring the bread we ordered with my husband's salad. Never mentioned that to her because he was almost finished when he told me. I will still be a loyal customer

    I love the food - the lobster bisque is the best on the island. I prefer the outdoor seating for the great view and ocean breezes (when they come).

    Our food was fantastic! I’m gluten free and there were great options. Our server was great, she offered kid’s menus to my 11 year olds and they found delicious healthy options that were very generous. We’ll definitely be going back. I also love that they have wild salmon and shrimp, not farmed. That’s impossible to find in hawaii.

    Tomato basil soup was excellent as usual. The Turkey club and French dip sandwiches were good! Our server Nicole was attentive, rounding and refilling our beverages. She apparently was very busy as her stops at the tables were very quick yet cordial.

    My salmon salad with organic greens, won ton chips, mandarin oranges, almonds and cilantro was excellent. Casual, fun atmosphere. But it was a little too noisy and the staff appeared a bit overworked as if they were short-staffed that day. I was never offered a refill of water.

    The only reason I rated 4 is that the kitchen closes at 9:00 pm and staff have been trained to give you the bums rush to pay your bill and get out. Other than that, the food is amazing and the ambiance is great. Would love to go back to try outdoor service.

    We come often because it is convenient and some of the menu items are good. The issues are noise level and erratic servers. The support crew at the front of the house are welcoming and on this occasion we had to flag our server down for drinks, then for appetizers, then for another drink order, then to order, then for dessert--endless, she was not paying any attention to us at all and we were 2 middle aged couples who look like good tippers since we ordered so much. Really--she was just so disengaged from our table. Perhaps they need to add staff. Best things to order are the chicken meatballs, penne bolognese and salmon and salad dishes. The soups are usually too cold for me and the hamburger this time was not tasty and the bun was stale. So erratic on the food. So easy to remedy.

    Our sever was absolutely amazing. She was a bartender and our server and she was really good on checking on us. We had the Tomato basil soup and it’s normally delicious, but I think they had it on way too high heat because it was sooo hot it burned my lip. Then at the end it started to separate from the oil and turn a little bit into cottage cheese soup. The Panko Chicken Salad is something we always get but the chicken this time was pretty overcooked, super hard and dry. We also got the burger and it was so yummy!! It was a nice dinner but her service made the dinner better.

    Miss their happy hour days. Miss that great pinot noir they used to have. I think the name was similar to Drumbell. Still excellent service and good food.
