    Probably our most favorite restaurant on earth. Our server, I believe Andrea was her name, was the best. The food, ambience, happy staff and customers, all led to our outstanding experience. Dinner again is planned this evening. Great place!

    Decided to go “big” our last night in Hawaii. Unfortunately maybe I had too high expectations? I was underwhelmed. The food was great; however I’m not sure it was all that much “better” (for the $) than Beach House which actually has better overall ambience and had more engaging wait staff. Unfortunately if I had to do over again, I’d skip Red Salt :(

    The menu is expansive with options for sushi , good appetizers, and mains with a nice Hawaiian twist. Two of us order the tasting menu- also delicious. we had tableside Martini's (Vespa & Sidecar) which was fun and the glass wear for the Mai Thai was also Hawaii centric. The restaurant is well set back from the ocean but did have a nice holiday ambiance.
