It's always calming to gaze upon the water and boats in Newport Beach in a Hawaiian themed restaurant; however, replacing the carpets with loud plank floors and blasting loud pop music took away from the calm.

Beautiful HB ocean views from upstairs, very nice bar with great modern decor throughout the property. Service was excellent and very attentive as they work as a team and check on you regularly but not too much to interrupt conversation. If you’re looking to impress a date or friends, this is a nice place, but you can dine in very casual attire such as shorts t-shirts and sandals. You are on the beach after all. Now for the food. The menu has a good range of options whether you want more of a 4 star dining experience or feel like a pizza and beer while watching the sunset. As we were celebrating a birthday, we decided for a fancier experience so we started with the Eggplant Meatball which was a spicy, zesty, cheesy, creamy, and delicious wake up call to the palette. Dipping the buttery toasted bread that comes with it in the spicy tangy sauce was the highlight for me! For entrees we decided to each order the ones we couldn’t decide between so we could share and experience both. One was the SeaBass and the other was the Diver Scallops. The SeaBass came with its crispy skin on top making a great companion to the moist and creamy white fish and white sauce underneath it. A very mild dish with a little bit of black pepper kick to it from the crispy skin. The Scallops had a sweet potato, red pepper and vinaigrette sauce that was surprising and paired well with the caramelized scallops. My only complaint was that I prefer diver scallops slightly larger in circumference and thickness. You still get a good six smaller scallops based on accurate protein weight for the dish, but I’d prefer three larger scallops over six smaller bite size ones. For dessert we shared the banana pudding which was in a unique presentation with a buttery chocolate cookie crumble base and thick decadent caramel. On top of that was a sliced section of banana with salted caramel pudding above it. Enjoyed a couple glasses of champagne as well. A great meal for $100 each, out the door.
