    Our go-to place for our date night. Love the Valentine's Menu. We had the surf and turf. Ordered the steak medium but came out well done, we said something and it wasn't a problem for the manager or staff to remake our steak medium. The manager brought it out and asked us to check first if our steak is how we liked it. He was always very accommodating. The manager actually gave us 2 drinks on the house since they messed up my order but they are so professional you could tell they take good care of their customers as well as take good care of their staff. Moanis, I will see you soon! Mahalo Nui!
