Menu was disappointing. Friendly service was missing from the hostess check in. 3 young ladies but still had to wait to be acknowledged. Not very professional. The restaurant itself was gorgeous with fabulous views.

We went for the Sunday brunch. This brunch was hands down better than the Waikiki Duke’s brunch. This brunch had prime rib, pulled pork, poke and shrimp along with all of the other regular breakfast items you would expect. Staff is friendly and service was good. Nice view and they had live music.
