    We put in our request to be near the ocean they tried their best. I also indicated we were celebrating birthdays, we had nothing. Waiter was gone for most of the time, we never once got a refill of water or coffee. Food was OK for the price. I don’t think we’ll be back

    Excellent food. Have dined here several times. This time it was breakfast. Freshly prepared and offerings include breakfast classics as well as Hawaiian-inspired specialties. Very lovely fresh-air setting.

    The service is outstanding! We shared a pork, pineapple and jalapeño pizza and ahi tacos. The pizza was delicious and perfect for one person. They are wood fired pizzas and thin crust. We loved it! The ahi tacos were fantastic too. There were three of them and on the small side but delicious. We ended with the coconut cream pie and it was mouth watering. The atmosphere is wonderful; right on the water and you feel like you’re floating on it. There was live music playing and she was fantastic. A relaxing and peaceful lunch, at a beautiful spot.

    Our family couldn't have loved this more, view was amazing and our food was great. A little on the spicier side to note but we lived it. Services was great but cannot beat the view at sunset.

    We were quiet quickly and had a great table by the window to see the water view which was fabulous since we were celebrating our anniversary, food was nice but a little too spicy for my liking, corn bread was yummy too. Server was good but could have been a little more attentive. Nice place to visit
