    My family and I were on vacation and walked yesterday to this restaurant. It was an extremely long walk and when we arrived, there was a note on the door saying they were closed due to lack of propane. The frustration is that we booked a reservation through this app ahead of time and we were not notified that the restaurant was closed. In fact, we received a reminder of our reservation a few hours before our arrival. This was extremely unprofessional and disappointing and if you take reservations and decide to close the restaurant, the decent thing to do is to let the customer know.

    Menu has changed and is limited. They ran out NY strip and I ate then rib eye which was okay but lacked flavor. The mignon of my wife was good. The mashed potatoes were with skin and garlic. We had eaten the evening before at Manta at Mauna Kea where the experience was way better and not much more expensive. The location would be good for a good restaurant.

    We had great service and a lovely meal and for this location, very reasonably priced. They were busy for Mother’s Day but the service was personal and warm. There was a good mix of Hawaiian dishes and the usual brunch fare. They had an amazing mimosa taster with four tropical juices and a bottle of Prosecco - yum. If you are staying in Waikaloa and want a more reasonably priced option for eating out with great food, this is the place.

    This was a beautiful place to enjoy our evening meal. We sat outside under the covered patio and were shielded from the wind. The food was well prepared and delicious. While expensive it was worth it.

    The dinner we had was exceptional! Braised Short ribs were so tender and the salmon had a delicious sauce.
