    What a gem! From the greeting to the inventive cocktails (pleasantly modified even further upon request) to the view, comfort, ambiance, & food - all were great. Attentive, professional service, from the receptionist, busboy, servers, and manager (who checked in!) - all were warm, professional, & efficient. The food was amazing - we tried several dishes & shared, and all were equally wonderful. We will be back!

    We arrived earlier than our reservation & they seated us immediately- I had read reviews & ordered accordingly- We began with the Golden Sliders and Lollipop rolls…both wonderful. My “Boss Steak” was prefect- melt in your mouth med-rare NY steak ( had sauces on the side ) & my husbands “Butter Me Up Roll” was received very well- They are leaving this Mall at end of December 24’- Hope they reopen on Kauai by time we return ❤️
