    Lives up to the buzz. The food is delicious. We had 2 fish dishes and they were top class. Table reservation is highly recommended if you want to avoid wait time. The restaurant is very noisy, so keep that in mind if you come with small children or were looking for a more quiet atmosphere. They have outdoor, less noisy, seating but I don't know if that can be reserved.

    Lively, active restaurant featuring excellent food (we had the gnocchi and the fish tacos, preceded by a Caesar salad and a Maui greens salad). Food was outstanding; service was very good. For the quality of the food, and for a restaurant featuring fun people-watching, prices were not out-of-line. Not the place for a quiet dinner in a hushed environment. We really liked it; have been befrooed and hope to go back again!

    Dining outside is much quieter. Inside was very noisy. Tables are close to each other. Conversations were loud.
