    Charlie was our server and did an excellent job. Three in our party have nut allergies and he and the staff were very attentive to that. The food was delicious…Ono as they say here. Several of us had the Blue Marlin. Very good!

    We really enjoyed our evening at Keoki's Paradise. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Our server was attentive and the food was great. I had the seafood risotto which was cooked perfectly, and my husband had the prime rib which was also delicious. Our dining experience was topped with the unexpected bonus of live entertainment from the Tahitian dance performers (Tumoana) who perform every other week at the establishment. Would definitely recommend checking this place out....Save room for dessert!

    We had a great night at the Beach House! We got seated in just a couple of minutes. Our waitress was really great! She explained the menu and answered all our questions. We had a drink to start and order the pot stickers for an appetizer. I ordered the sear tuna and my wife order the filet. Both were excellent. we decided to get a creme brûlée for dessert and it was great too. I didn't even mention the fantastic sunset view we had too! As we were eating, we got to watch the sun set and it was beautiful to eat and watch.
