   Food was good. Both had the pulled pork, it was good but nothing special. However, our server was amazing. He was considerate and kind as we had a 7 year old with a bit of a hangry meltdown. We found a solution and he made it work. Clearly you can't beat the view! It's clean and easy to get to. Overall a great experience.

   The food here was pretty good, service was on the slower side but our sever was working pretty much the entire restaurant so I’ll forgive it since he did a great job and had a lot to handle - The location however, was amazing! Sunset was perfect on the patio with the crashing of the waves. (Be prepared to pay for parking.)

   Service was outstanding. I first tried to make a reservation for 6 which was unavailable. I called the restaurant, spoke with a staff member, let them know I could make for 5 and can they make an exception. She did and changed the reservation from 5 to 6. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Appetizers were exceptional. The main course was not as good as the apps, but good value and still better than mainland for the price, atmosphere, etc.

   Good food, great view! We enjoyed our dinner on the outdoor terrace - got to eat while listening to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Poke and fish tacos were the favorites of our table. But the view is by far what I liked the most.

    server I think Jacob was short with us as my dad shared a meal, ordered water to drink and had a kids meal. We ordered the chicken on the menu. it was just ok. Great location, right on the beach, great music, needs a better menu and more friendly staff

    Family of 5 for a dinner out. We had 2 fresh catch - was marlin and one was very undercooked but the flavor was good. One fish and chips was excellent. The chicken sandwich was great. The filet and fries was mediocre. Very fatty and over cooked. All in all not our favorite meal on the island and we would probably try something new the next time. However the view would be great before dark/sunset!!

    The positive: nice view The menu isn’t that robust. I found the food subpar. I don’t come to Hawaii for great food but this was mediocre at best. I’m not sure how these other reviewers gave 5 stars. Going forward I will be much more cautious on this app because this was a subpar experience. The service wasn’t great either.

    The food was great and the ambiance was awesome. We sat at a table overlooking the ocean. Our server was nice. Unfortunately, they did not have decaf coffee, which my husband wanted. So afterwards, we walked to a coffee cafe and ordered decaf coffee for him.

    The food was pretty good. You'd think banana pancakes would be easy to find around here but not at this restaurant either. Pancakes were average but coconut syrup was good, so was the coffee.

    The food was not great. Pancakes were dry and they literally gave you two tablespoons of maple syrup. The $6 Kona coffee was really just warm brown water. I liked the views and ambiance but the food was not worth it. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant unless they make some serious changes to their quality of food.

    The food was excellent but our service was not great. We asked for an extra minute to look at the menu and the. She apparently forgot about us. We asked a busboy what the fresh catch was and he answered but was incorrect. We finally had to go get our own sugar packets. It just wasn’t a good service experience. But the view was awesome and the food was really good.
