    Best meal during out 8 days visiting Honolulu. The host and service personnel were welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind. (Shout out to Christian for adding to our lovely experience). Cocktails were tasty and dinner was delicious. I had the ahi with jalapeño potatoes and the serving was so generous I took some home. We sat outside as it seemed a bit loud inside and it was perfect. We felt well cared for without being hovered over and greatly enjoyed our meals. Wish we had room to try a dessert but on our next trip we will definitely be back.

    Went with houseguests so there were 4 of us on a Sunday afternoon. Normally I appreciate live music and the guy was very good but the place was so noisy and the acoustics so bad it was hard to talk without shouting. Food was hand so was the service.

    Excellent food - we enjoyed the grilled shrimp salad, followed by sampling a superb trio of ice cream sandwiches for dessert. A comfortable, fun, (even hip!) ambiance with a local feel well outside the tourist mix. Peter Merriman continues to work his magic at this extraordinary restaurant.

    I made a reservation for 3pm. My table wasn't ready, so I left my number to have them text me. It gave us a chance to walk around the center and for the rest of our party to arrive. After 15 minutes the text came through. We headed back to the restaurant only to be told that our table still wasn't ready and that they had sent the text on accident. We had to wait another 5 minutes, but the hostesses were very apologetic and sweet about it, and we were not in a hurry so although we were hungry, we really didn't mind the extra wait. Plus, it was Mother's Day, so they were pretty busy, so I totally understand. Our server, Princess was great. Very attentive. Being that it was Mother's Day they gave all the moms a complimentary glass of Rosé, which was very sweet of them. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and everything we ordered was tasty. Despite the fries being a bit on the soggy side it still tasted good. The smashburger was ono as was the carne asada tacos. My husband who is not a big foodie couldn't stop raving about his banh mi fish sandwich. So that says a lot. We had brought a cake for one of one of our family members birthdays and they accommodated us by holding it in the fridge until we were ready to have it. They had live music playing and the guy that was performing was really good that I initially thought it was their stereo. All in all, it was a great experience and the price of our meal and drinks was surprisingly reasonable. Maybe it had to do with us being there at Happy Hour but still, we were pleasantly surprised. My family and I will definitely be back.
