This was the culinary highlight of my visit to Honolulu. The staff were warm and welcoming, shout out to the hostess, Sherry! My server, Kirstie, was attentive and provided excellent service. The food was exquisite! I highly recommend this place for a wonderful dining experience.

So good! Standouts were the hamachi sashimi-super flavorful and delicious, the tomatoes stacciatella-I could eat this every day and the Kona kanpachi which had a very light buerre blanc sauce. Fresh, flavorful and delicious

We’ve dined here twice, and it’s great to go with a larger group because we ordered a lot of dishes and it was like a tasting menu. The dishes are meant to be shared family style, so each one is a generous portion. We love their salads with herb avocado/ green goddess dressing, hamachi, smoked ahi poke, and venison tartare. All of the ingredients are very fresh and served with attention to detail. The desserts are delicious and beautiful, especially the baked Hawaii. The cocktails and sake were also excellent. It is a treat to eat here.

どの料理も美味しくいただきました！コースで提供された 'ポケ' が、少し辛すぎました。料理が提供されるタイミングも、少し遅かったです。味・接客・雰囲気・コストのトータルで考えると、とても良かったです。リピートする価値と、知り合いにお勧めもできます。ご馳走様でした！ 😊

We had Prix Fixe dinner. I expected individual servings and not family style. Ala carte menu was hard to maneuver thru, but maybe we should have.

This is definitely a hidden gem! Heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place and was skeptical to try it for ourselves. This place was amazing!!! We had such a great time and the food and service was outstanding. We came here to celebrate my bfs birthday and it’s definitely our top 5 restaurant experiences. We loved all the food we got with a few being stand outs that we definitely need to come back to try. And although we ordered a lot we wish we could’ve tried more! The service was definitely a stand out as well. The host was outgoing and very welcoming, our server was very knowledgeable and patient when going over the menu and the manager was very tentative and checked on us as well.
