Our go to for brunch and dinner. Their brunch is absolutely amazing, we ordered one of each main item and couldn’t decide what we loved the most. Everything was so delicious, I’m still craving the Gouda grits and kalua pork hash! For dinner we always over order apps and salads since you can’t go wrong with their cheese board, the various dips (go straight for the dip trio you won’t be disappointed!) ceviche, and bravas. Beet salad and Caesar are amazing, followed by the oxtail and lamb. Don’t pass on the smores either, perfect ending to a great meal.

We sat in the large patio area outside. It was very pleasant, with balmy weather and light trade winds, and we liked the live music (a solo guitarist/singer). We ordered from the Happy Hour menu and the food and drinks were inexpensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we were served quickly. My friend ordered the local shrimp and chips and I had the tempura fish and chips. Our waitress brought us a small glass of Prosecco (no charge) before our meal arrived. The food was delicious and well prepared. The coating on the seafood was light and crispy (not greasy). The service was excellent. Shout outs to our pleasant and friendly waitress Mahina and to the host Kody. We liked the restaurant so much we came back for dessert the same evening after we attended a music event!
