    The atmosphere is wonderful, and the server, Beverly, was exceptional. We were seated immediately. We love the Malasadas, best on the island by far. Dishes at our table were diverse, each one properly prepared with the freshest ingredients, in a timely manner. You can NOT beat the views. This is one of our favorite restaurants.

    Can not beat the service and flavor! Kathryn created us and sat us at our table, Howard was our primary server, he and his team were attentive and so so kind. I booked this dinner as one of fancy meals, and could not have been happier. The macadamia crusted fish dish was so so good, the lamb was amazing as well- perfect char. For app we had the quesadilla for which my only complaint was I wanted more kimchi! The soup of the day was a mushroom soup and the flavor was out of the world. Complementary bread was served with room temp butter making easy to spread and salt (something I have only seen done at the Knife and Spoon at Ritz in Orlando)- mouth watering good bread, we took a loaf home! And finally for dessert we had the chocolate wrapped in philo dough, was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Another stand out, at booking I included this meal was for our anniversary. Not only did staff wish us a happy anniversary but also complementary glass of champagne. Such an easy thing to do, but also so nice and thoughtful and appreciated. Finally one amazing bonus- the view. We sat on the right side of the restaurant if ur facing the kitchen and where able to see the telescopes at the top of Mauna Kea!
