    Food was ok but not amazing as we were expecting. Service was definitely poor. Not sure if they were missing staff but we were told that we couldn’t be seated for 15 minutes past our reservation because the server wasn’t ready????? And then when we were seated the server comes over to tell us he needs a few more minutes before he can initially serve? Very strange and unfortunately put a damper on the evening.

    We’ve never been disappointed having dinner at one of Roy’s establishments and once again we had an awesome experience. Our pupus were excellent and the Miso Butterfish and Plantation were superb. The molten chocolate dessert was off the charts. We had an unbelievable dining experience.

    This was our first time dining here when on Kauai. It did not disappoint. The food, wine and dessert (pineapple upside down cake) were amazing.
