    Although the Mai Tai gets points for being creative it wasn’t for me. The foamy topping was not good and the drink had an odd spice taste. Fish tacos were good but surprised there were just 3 mini tacos and no sides included for $28.

    Emily was so great! Super friendly, great recommendations, and attentive. The pork tacos, pizza, and mac crusted fish were all amazing. The Matai is a must have!

    Server was pleasant however, she needed to get answers to menu questions and then forgot to return with answers , didn’t round on us and didn’t refill water glasses until asked-she didn’t seem new or inexperienced- restaurant had plenty of help and was at approximately 30% capacity. (Afternoon resv. ) Appetizer served with main meal - this is expensive place and I expected better. I know Hawaii rent is expensive but they could refill kids OJ without charging…. next time, I’ll pass.

    Our server was wonderful however the drink server was not at all friendly. Drink service was excruciatingly slow. Hostess was friendly. Food was quite good.
