    Goen has been my favorite dining spot in Kailua for years, since they opened. Last night, we enjoyed a great Mother's Day dinner with special entrees and dessert. The scallops with risotto and the prime rib with mashed potatoes were excellent. The service was very good, as usual and the staff were very accommodating for the 3 of us and the baby. I come here often, and definitely will continue doing so to enjoy their Happy Hours from Sunday thru Wednesday, and any special dinners that they offer.

    My girlfriend and I had a fabulous lunch at Goen. The food was great, especially the salmon roll. To top it off we tried the tiramisu which was the best I've ever had. Service was great, the manager checked on us, and the ambience was perfect.

    Food preparation quality was inconsistent, with some dishes cooked to near-perfection but others just mediocre. Servings of mixed greens in salads were much too large in comparison with the skimpy volume of other salad ingredients. Service staff were efficient, unfailingly attentive, and a pleasure to deal with. Nice atmosphere and pleasant live music.

    The food is excellent, the service was exceptional and the new plants around the tables are nice but unfortunately there is a lot of noise from the adjacent parking lot

    This was the first Happy Hour we’ve attended at Goen (usually go for dinner). There’s a good selection of smaller bites of their regular appetizers to share and cocktails/drinks to order at a reasonable price. Everything we ordered was amazing: Truffle gnocchi was creamy and delicious (our favorite of the night), the spicy deep fried roll, the mini burrata with bread (with a mini side salad with their signature dressing), and the popular roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower. We were there on a Wednesday and they had live music. We arrived when it opened at 4 and I think that was the best time to go. It got busy shortly after. Will definitely go again for happy hour
