    Decent food, location was alright and pretty convenient to get to in Waikiki. Just not what we were looking for, the fish wasn't great and the other items, like the Naked Pig Pizza, just didn't wow us. But still a decent dinner.

    Great food. The feel of an old style Waikiki Hotel was pretty cool. I even like the movie Blue Hawaii that was playing silently on the big screen. Gave some great scenic shots of Hawaii in the 1960's

    Would not visit here again. We arrived and our waitress placed her finger in the water to flick something out prior to serving said water. I decided, ok I won't drink the water. We asked about drinks and She recommended a special espresso martini, served with cold brew and tequila. I've had this kind of espresso martini before and was excited. What she brought over though, was not ok. we took a sip and it was god damn awful. Somehow, the bartender thought serving and an expresso martini with sour mix was a good idea. If this is your thing, then by all means. It was not for us, so with the hand in the water and this disgusting drink. We left! I was too afraid to try the food.

    Our server was not nice. She pushed two whole fish on us with a hard sell and then abruptly told us about the cake cutting fee per person the minute she saw someone brought a bday cake in. She was not hospitable and made the whole experience uncomfortable I didn’t expect that I would feel so uncomfortable when I was dropping $360 on a special bday dinner - her delivery could have been kinder. Besides that, the food was nice but nothing super special for the prices charged. The vibe of the space was cool.

    The restaurant was making excuses before they even sat you because of a few large parties. The Ahi Tuna was bland and just average at best. My pasta dish was just Ok. The price point was reasonable. There are too many other likely good places to choose from versus this one. Thank they need to limit their party sizes, and then they could operate more efficiently.

    Our third visit here. They were busy with a couple of large parties so we didn’t feel the great service we’ve had here in past visits. Still the food is great, and the drinks are good. For the price you kind of don’t expect to have to chase down the server, but although there were many empty tables they were preoccupied with large groups. The soup is great! And so is the pork chop.

    Our server was lovely, super enthusiastic. I hate to complain but the food was just not good. I had the hand cut pasta, there was no sauce on it just some oil, 5 tiny bits of pancetta and a couple of tomatoes - it tasted of nothing. The crab hush puppies contained no crab, just fried dough balls with some sort of salty flavouring in them. My partners steak was cooked well but absolutely covered in a vinegary sauce that drowned out any flavour of the steak. I would not eat here again.

    The food was worse than you can get in a mall cafeteria. We had the blue Marlin crudo for appetizer and it was as if the chef had never prepared sashimi style fish before…cut the wrong direction, thick and sinewy. We also had the fresh catch (spearfish) and the sauce and vegetables were very bland and sort of limp. The Shrimp Risotto did not look anything like the pictures…there were 4 tiny shrimp and the risotto was more like just rice that was soggy and wet, with puréed asparagus that made the whole thing extremely bland and lacking any texture. The waitress was kind and the live music was enjoyable (a couple of Hawaiian dudes singing Norah Jones cover songs with a bass and a guitar. With so many food options on Oahu it’s amazing this place is still in business. Maybe just by selling lots of cocktails.

    This is a completely different restaurant and experience then when they first opened. They were not prepared for a 530 opening. 1 waitress working all the tables. Several tables just got up and left. Drinks took forever Food was cold when it came out. Front of house failed the back of house.

    I feel like this is a bit of a hidden gem in a lot of uninteresting and expensive restaurants in Waikiki. Located in a cute, retro hotel, the ambience is just about perfect. Causal but in a good, comfortable way. There is always amazing live music that literally makes you want to stay and hang out all night. The food is also kind of perfect - a nice variety from pizzas to amazing fish - really whatever you are in the mood for. Good drinks as well. I always book for two dinners when I’m in Honolulu cause I know once all not be enough

    This place is tucked away by the pool but it's so cute. The food was all delicious and the service was excellent. We had goat cheesecake and it was amazing! The live music was very enjoyable, just the right volume to notice the guy was very talented but not loud enough to interfere with conversation or be intrusive. We loved the shaka wallpaper and had very nice wait staff with good recommendations.
