The food was excellent, but the serving was disappointing, as the table staff and their assistants just put the food on the table when they brought it to the table.

Limited choice of food, don’t like prefix menu, would rather have a La cart menu. Fish didn’t taste fresh enough. Only the cocktail was good.

The service and quality of the food was excellent! You might want to shy away from a 6 course meal, but the portions were perfect! There are several choices for each course, so everyone can find something to satisfy they're particular tastes. The chef out did himself! One of the best meals we've had while here in Hawaii. Definitely worth the st price.

Very lovely location/ambiance, reservation at 8pm on a not busy evening yet waitstaff was not very attentive, waited over twelve minutes to be greeted after being seated, entrees brought out before appetizer plates were cleared, plates cleared at table, flavors were forgettable while plating was nice, prefix menu and plates were a nice portion

The experience was very rushed. We ordered cocktails and a shared appetizer and individual entrees. The drinks came out and were lovely. A few minutes later the appetizer arrived and it was also very nice, but after about 10 minutes the entrees arrived before we had gotten half way through the appetizer. I don’t know why they were rushing us, we did not have a late reservation and there were plenty of other diners, although lots of empty tables and no one waiting. We decided to forgo wine with the meal and dessert and I think were out of there in under an hour. Not relaxed or enjoyable even though the food was very good.
