    We went with high expectations. They were met. The food, the service, and the atmosphere. Small footprint (downstairs, didn’t venture upstairs). Had an 8:00 reservation and were seated shortly before 8:00. We noticed they might have been short a sever, very busy. But we didn’t feel neglected. We took the opportunity to enjoy our dinner and take our time. Whatever you do, order the Nasu kinoku. Mushrooms and eggplant in a butter based sauce. The sake was excellent. Sashimi too. Only disappointment was there was no tai sashimi left. So the otoro was the star. Had the vegetable tempura and it was what you would hope for. Will make this a regular stop when we are in Honolulu

    The service is outstanding! We shared a pork, pineapple and jalapeño pizza and ahi tacos. The pizza was delicious and perfect for one person. They are wood fired pizzas and thin crust. We loved it! The ahi tacos were fantastic too. There were three of them and on the small side but delicious. We ended with the coconut cream pie and it was mouth watering. The atmosphere is wonderful; right on the water and you feel like you’re floating on it. There was live music playing and she was fantastic. A relaxing and peaceful lunch, at a beautiful spot.
