    We really enjoyed our visit. Bacon candy was amazing Hamachi was also The beef brioche seemed a miss. It was 98% brioche and 2%beef. Could barely tell there was any beef at all. The only other thing is the empty plates cluttered our space ( at the bar) and we're not removed until we paying the bill. Towards the end of the visit we felt like we were left hanging. The waitress finally came over and gave us a water refill and took care of the bill for us. Again over all we had a great time. Everyone was friendly. Just a couple small things that could be easily managed.

    We went for our engagement dinner, we were pretty nervous since it was our first time visiting the restaurant but as soon as we got there our waiter *ANDREW*!!!!! Made us feel very comfortable, you would think he went to the university of servers! From knowledge of food to manners he had it all! We went for sunset and the view was just straight out of a movie.The food was 10/10 we got the petite platter with lobster, double shrimp, and crab legs. Also the lobster mash potatoes,spam fried rice and duck fat French fries. By the end of the meal we were full but we wish we could fit more food! Shoutout to Andrew for the complementary dessert and drinks for our engagement, will definitely revisit and ask for the same server!

    The service was very good and they had a unique but short menu. The setting is a kind of funky Kailua.
