    Our server, Mia, was very attentive and answered all of our questions. The mahi-mahi both fire-grilled and in the fish and chips was outstanding. This is a great little off the beaten path restaurant. We will go back again and again.
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 2 days ago
    Mahalo for the kind words! We're so glad to hear Mia took great care of you and that you enjoyed both mahi-mahi dishes. We love being a hidden gem and can’t wait to welcome you back again and again! 🌺🐟 Mahalo again!

    We have been dining at this restaurant for years. Since Bev Gannon sold it, the restaurant has declined significantly. We ordered the mahi-mahi and the portion that we usually order and were very pleased with was so small and tasteless that we were absolutely stunned It was less than half the size that it was previously as was the quality and preparation. We see this often when restaurants are sold, and despite the longtime reputation that the restaurant has enjoyed by giving the same quality of food, they alienate their customers by degrading the dining experience. The server was very nice and we had no complaints about him. This will probably be our last time dining there. Too bad. It was one of our favorites in the area.
    Haliimaile General StoreResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet the expectations you’ve come to associate with the restaurant over the years. We truly appreciate your loyalty and understand how disappointing it can be when a place you’ve long enjoyed feels different. While we’re glad to hear your server provided good service, we regret that the mahi-mahi and overall dining experience fell short. Your comments have been shared with our team, including the kitchen, as we continually work to maintain and improve the quality and consistency our guests deserve. Regards.
