I feel that this restaurant is overpriced for what you get and the service was lacking. Our server wanted to take our food order before even asking if we wanted drinks or starters. When we dine at a very nice restaurant, we like to take our time and not feel like we’re being rushed through so that we can turn a table over for the next person. Our bill was about $400 after tip for four people (one child’s menu order and 3 adult menu orders). I felt disappointed upon leaving knowing that we had spent that much and really didn’t have a great of an experience. I’m happy to spend $400 on dinner, but I want to feel like it was worth it. I’ve spent that much plenty of times and said I can’t wait to go back to that place, but in this case I don’t know that I would ever return.

This was our 1st time eating here. The views and ambience are excellent. Randi - our server was 1 of the best servers I have encountered. She was friendly and thoroughly explained all the specials. The Thanksgiving special was very filling and the food was hot when delivered. Overall great experience. Will be back when in Maui.

Beautiful location and exceptional service. Don’t order the lobster app. They said it was 8-9 oz of meat. It was 5 (chewy) bites plus a claw.
