    Food was fantastic, service was amazing. Nice live music. A little pricey but worth the quality. Waikiki location is much moodier, and we enjoyed that environment a little more. But food is consistent and we always look forward to the meal!

    The food and drinks were amazing. Nothing beats the foam on the Mai Tais. Our server was perfect and attentive to our needs. That’s what keeps us coming back.

    Everything was great, except the overhead lighting was too bright. The live musician was great and played at a level that was enjoyable but didn’t make it impossible to carry on a conversation.
