They had two new servers in training so that did affect service. The French onion soup had a good flavor but it was so thick it could not really be called soup. The broccolini was excellent. The pork belly was tasty but the bow was compressed and flat and dry. The sauce didn’t really help. The best salad was loaded with beets but just not very good..

The restaurant was undergoing major renovations so they suggested we eat elsewhere. The menu was extremely limited and it was not a nice setting. We did leave and go elsewhere.

Restaurant is under renovation and menu offerings were limited. Food was overpriced and the quality just wasn’t there. We were left very disappointed.

Perfect dinner to end our vacation. It was quiet, near the water and delicious. They were a little understaffed at the time, so service promptness was a little slower but we were in Kauai, on the beach so it didn't matter too much.

This place has a very limited menu of very poor food. I would highly suggest anyone stay away. They had 1 fish choice, limited other choices. Typical overpriced hotel food with marginal service. Avoid this place!

The sushi was great although the steak was the worst Ive ever had. And the price was sky high! Most of the steak was fat and what wasn’t was tough. I should have sent it back but I was too shy. I will if there is a next time. The service was good and friendly. It is a lovely atmosphere. Just don’t order the ribeye steak . I can’t express how bad it was
