My first two fish selections were unavailable so I had to settle for the salmon. I found it very salty and overcooked; the top was charred. The noise level was quite loud; lively. There were three of us so we weren't sitting that far apart but it was hard to carry on a conversation.

Inventive menu with a novel twist on several standard brunch and new mexican dishes. Everything was prepared to order and was fresh and tasty. A few minor glitches in the service (no dressing on the salad, slow coffee refills), but we enjoyed our brunch there.

Was going to a concert at the Kimo and this was a great spot to grab dinner before the show. Teriyaki chicken was excellent. My husband enjoyed the sushi as well.
