    What could be better than a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach while you eat? The food! Our dinners were outstanding. My wife said it was the best steak she’d ever had, and my daughter said the same about here pasta. All four of our meals were excellent, no one was disappointed. My only complaint is that we were all too full to even share a piece of Hula pie!

    We were a table of 6 for early Christmas dinner. Arrived early and were seated on time. Waiter was fast, efficient and friendly. Food was excellent . We had a vegan guest with us and the waiter and kitchen did an excellent job accommodating the dietary restrictions. I thank you very much on that. Prices were fair considering portions and quality. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Al in all a very good experience. Form valet to hosts to wait staff and chiefs Well done.

    This is my spouses first time to Hawaii. With it being Christmas Eve we were related to know we could still make last minute reservations for dinner after our other activity was interrupted by another guests personal emergency. Although it was “late” the staff was absolutely wonderful and service was quit and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend dining her with your family or for a special occasion. I would suggest that “on the 3rd” floor be added to the directions or information on all platforms.

    This is one of our go to restaurants in HNL. We have been going here since it opened and as well to its predecessor at the Modern. While the food is exquisite (sticky ribs are the best you will ever have), we have determined that the real reason we keep coming back is the staff. This year, they confirmed that beyond our expectations. Bryan was our server and he was fantastic, enthusiastic and friendly. The manager, Vinnie, came over to our table and a good visit turned into something truly memorable! Thank you Vinnie! We look forward to continuing to come back; for the food but more importantly, the amazing/great/welcoming staff!
