The restaurant and attentive service were lovely! It was raining, so there was plenty of indoor space that did not take away from the Diamond Head and beach views. Food was best served family-style, and 6 plates were enough for a party of 6. The live hula performer was a nice bonus. The hosts also allowed us to tour the surrounding areas.

Beautiful venue by the ocean! Sunset views were perfect! Live band with hula dancer was awesome. Service was great! Food is pricey for small portions, but salad dressing on Cobb Salad was fresh and tasted wonderful.

Service and Hawaiian show was splendid. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Food was just ok. Fish dish did not taste fresh. Pizza was ok just tasted like a pre made pie, flatbread, thin crust or thick tortilla style. Cobb salad I absolutely did not like, was not presented like a Cobb should be, it was light and mixed lacked elements and flavor, it was more like a mixed salad.. Pins colada was a little too chunky with ice. Personally, go for drinks and show. Not for food, total waste of money.

Fantastic food in a lovely and beautiful setting! High prices for dinner ment items and drinks, yet remember where you are! Paradise!!!! Bartender was attentive. Waiter was adequate… table next to us had a bubbly, friendly, professional female server who probably made their experience somewhat better than ours with a “dry” server. Glad we tried this historic eatery!

Lovely venue with oceanfront dining and live music and dancer. Very expensive for what you get - so definitely a special occasion splurge. $25 drinks. $50 entrees. You’re paying for the location and entertainment. Like a mini-luau. We saw a lot of tables having just drinks and appetizers or desserts. The pork rib appetizer was excellent. The tuna poke was just okay and seemed a little off or slimy. The pizza was so-so for the kids. I had to send back the Hamachi/yellowtail entree because it was 80% bones and no fish, but what fish was there was flavorful and tasty. The mahi daily special was quite good but at $50 for mahi, is should have been! The coconut cake dessert and mai tai were highlights of the meal as was the fresh bread. We enjoyed the experience a lot but do think the food was overpriced.

Beautiful environment- felt like at a luau. You are paying for the location and entertainment. $60 for two (very good) cocktails while we waited for our table. Dinner was slow though - an hour before getting food after ordering. The kids at the table next to us watching videos on full sound in their ipods ruined the experience a bit (even my kids commented on it). Not the restaurant fault but the long delays in service or offering refills was.

Went on New Year’s Day for lunch. They were behind on setting the tables. After waiting a little while - once we were seated, the service and food were very good.

Went on New Year’s Eve at around 5:30pm for drinks and appetizers to watch the sunset and live entertainment as we usually do when coming to Waikiki. Food and drink prices were extremely high. The steak salad dish was very odd. Our waitress agreed with our comments on the above items. She told us she was hoping to be off early to enjoy her new year’s…
