Lovely view raised up above street level and looking over the road to the ocean and sunset. Open air dining with steak and seafood fare including daily specials. Service was good, food was tasty, and they have a gluten free menu available. The cocktail I had was overly sweet and almost undrinkable. Stick with wine and beer. Private parking available in back of restaurant.

I had the fish and chips and they are amazing. Fries were crisp and hot and the fish is ono instead of the typical cod and it’s moist and flavorful. The batter is not greasy with just the right amount of mild crunch. So good . . .

Fish and shrimp was nicely prepared and presented, but overpriced for the quantity. Cocktail was mostly ice for a typically chilled/stirred drink. Fries came out of the kitchen cold and the service was hit and miss from our assigned wait staff.

We are familiar with this restaurant from dining here in the past but mostly from knowing of its sister restaurant in Monterey, CA, only a couple of hours from where we live. I was impressed with the interior decor here. The woods and lighting were lovely in the evening. Our server came to the table promptly to get our drink orders while we perused the menu. My companion started with a bowl of clam chowder that he said was excellent. We both had fish entrees, I the mahi mahi in a delicious sauce and he the ono in a gingery, lemongrass sauce. Unfortunately, he thought his fish was somewhat overcooked but my mahi was perfect. One of the best things was the colorful serving of vegetables done al dente accompanying. They were kind enough to comp a piece of bread pudding, flavored with some nice spices, for a birthday treat. We don’t have enough time to revisit again on this trip but will be back our next visit to the island. Mahalo!
