    The lobster black inked linguine is heavenly. Didn’t like the remade ramen. Great service and ambience. A place to go.

    Food was amazing and drinks were great! The serving size in the short rib was a bit small as well as the scallop appetizer

    Our meal and drinks were amazing! The service was excellent! This was our second visit as we visited last year when we were on the island. Looking forward to our next visit. Btw.. the water scallops with the truffle mashed potatoes are heavenly.

    Incredible service from the hostess to the wait staff to the bus boy. We got wonderful recommendations for appetizers and they didn’t disappoint. Our entrees and wine were wonderful. A delightful explosion of flavors and textures. Fusion cuisine done right! We will definitely go back.

    Wow, a great find in Kapa’a. My wife had spotted it earlier in the week. We made it in to wrap up our trip. Both cocktails were creative and flavorful. The tuna carpaccio was fresh and delicious. The lamb chop appetizer special was cooked beautifully. The salad was fresh and crisp. The miso carbonara is a good twist on a classic. Stephanie did a great job with service, answering questions, making recommendations. We would dine with Naisla again.
