    Really cool decor! VERY brightly lit which ruined ambiance. Very limited menu and the only thing on kids menu is shrimp which I found odd. Also odd for a place that is supposed to be upsacale to have a pile of dirty hand towels in sight and to see so many times staff go around with carts of plates etc

    Nice place but very expensive for what you get. $27 for one roll is a lot. Especially with teenage kids who need like 3 rolls to feel full. Ginger salad was $11 and that was actually a pretty large portion.

    Amazing sushi! A little pricey but any nice restaurant in Hawaii was comparable in cost. Our server was amazing and so friendly. We were staying at the resort where the restaurant was so it was super convenient. They had fun cocktails and a great variety of apps and main dishes. I'm not a huge sushi fan but I found plenty on the menu to pick from. Highly recommend and would go back.

    I had such a great experience at Stevenson’s Library! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The service was top notch. Our server was friendly without being overbearing, and she made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the meal. Stevenson’s library dynamite was very flavorful and beautifully presented. The sashimi moriawase was really good as well. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious food and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be back!
