    The restaurant setting is a tropical paradise- lush greenery, flowers and a large banyan tree. The food is consistently delicious and the service impeccable. Live singer/guitarist added to the soothing ambience. One of our favorite spots to dine on Kauai for brunch, lunch or dinner!

    Excellent service from our server who knew from memory the gluten free selections. Our steak and Ahi were both prepared perfectly. Ambience as always, breathtaking. Everyone, from the valet, to the welcoming committee at the desk, to the expediters really take a moment to make a connection however brief. Amazing in this age where it seems people are losing the ability to communicate. But the coup de gras? Gluten-free Mochi cake! Thanking the team for a gluten free dessert that is unique and memorable.
