   We live in Waimea and have eaten here many times before. It just keeps going down hill sadly. When I made the reservation for Mothers Day, I had no idea it was going to be a set menu with limited option and a hefty price for what we received. 3 of our party ordered the seafood hot pot. It was a very small portion of seafood with no bread, rice, crackers, etc. when asked for sure bread. They brought 3 small rolls and charged us $12! The music was loud and the genre def was not for dining, more like a nightclub sound. The service was rushed and chaotic and when our desserts arrived they were served on paper plates with disposable utensils! I couldn’t believe it!! A set menu at $75/person does not merit disposable utensils & plates. In addition, the bathrooms were not clean and the windows next to our table were very dirty. It’s sad to see this restaurant falter so badly. We decided this will be our last time… too bad, I really like the chef. He’s a great guy

   The chef was kind enough to come visit our table. The Portuguese clams and the lettuce cups were the star of the show!

   Allen Hess is the owner and an outstanding/tremendous chef, my wife asked if he would publish a book of his menus that are so unique, Asian fusion, but very specifically Hawaiian. We have been to his restaurant twice in the past couple of months, and both times he came out and spoke with us, which was truly appreciated.

   Best meal we had on island — after dining at Brown’s, Canoe and Miller & Luxe. Chef came out to meet & greet. He and server were stupendous. We’ll definitely come back.

   Wonderful food, perfect service. I started with goat tacos Birria, which are three tacos in a crispy / sturdy shell, with ginger / shoyu dipping sauce which made it great. The taco held up well to the sauce, maintaining a satisfying crunch. Next had the lamb cutlets which were “tomahawk” (doubles), generous portions, grilled to perfection. Next time would have converted from the risotto (good but can get heavy) to a large dinner salad instead, which can be done. My eating companion had the Butterfish, to die for. We went for my birthday and to just celebrate being able to visit during wonderful weather and Merrie Monarch hula festivities.

   Food and Service were outstanding. We live the farm to table food. I waved to the chef through the window and he gave me real Aloha! I told him how yummy his food was. Nice wait staff and great food! Don’t miss this place!

    I had an incredible dining experience. The food was excellent across the board, and the ambiance of the place really set the mood—relaxed yet vibrant. The chef was truly on point, delivering dishes that were both flavorful and beautifully presented. One standout was the goat cheese tacos—absolutely amazing. The combination of creamy goat cheese, perfectly balanced spices, and fresh ingredients made it unforgettable. Can’t wait to go back!
