I don 't usually write reviews weather the service/food was good or bad but this time, i have to cause of the experience I and my wife encountered last night. Let me start from when we checked in with the hostess at around 6:40 pm. Yes, she was cheerful and greeted us pleasantly and had us seated in the courtyard. So me and my wife sat, took some pictures and looked at their menu. We would expect that someone will come over to take our orders after we got seated. So we waited and waited and waited and waited patiently. After almost 20 minutes, a waitress came and took our drink orders. We would expect her to say Thank you for waiting, I 'm sorry for .....etc etc but no, she was cold. Then af...
Our Valentine's Day special dinner in a rustic courtyard setting started, surprisingly, with the second course, calamari and caprese salad, arriving before the first, a Caesar salad and tortellini soup. The calamari were excellent. The Caesar salad was small and meh no croutons, just romaine sprinkled with cheese and a dressing without a hint of anchovy. The soup was good; nothing special about the caprese. We both opted for the surf and turf entree: tender, tasty shrimp and a six ounce beef tenderloin fillet cooked perfectly medium rare. Desserts were a bread pudding with mango and coconut and a pleasant tiramisu. The coconut didn't add much to the pudding. With two drinks apiece and the ti...
We had a 7:30 PM reservation for Valentine’s Day dinner and did not actually get anything to eat until well after 9:30 PM. The waitress was not very solicitous, and more interested in telling us how much she disliked having to deal with Valentine’s Day crowds than in ameliorating the situation. The food was actually very good, although it was no longer even warm by the time it reached the table, and the “crispy” calamari was actually soggy and cold. We strongly recommend that the restaurant control the number of reservations it accepts, so that the number of patrons does not exceed the capacity to serve them.
I’m sure our experience had a lot to do with it being Valentine’s Day— The kitchen was not equipped to handle the dinner rush. It took 40 mins to get any type of food. We ordered the prifix menu and the second course came before the first. The entrees were cold and we didn’t stay for dessert. The couple next to us had it worse — their server lost their ticket and didn’t realize it until 45 mins into their dining experience. The manager had to comp many meals this evening. All in all it was terrible and we won’t be going back.

After our last visit, the manager graciously invited us back. We got our favorite table and the service was.. spectacular! They paid attention to every detail and the food as always, was amazing. We enjoyed a 3 course dinner, all wonderfully paired with special wines. We’d like to thank all the staff and specially to Kristen, she took it upon herself to make us feel welcomed. We are so pleased, we booked our wedding reception to be hosted here. It will be wonderful!
had a reservation on Valentine's Day they had a limited menu for $50 that we were not aware because it wasn't on their website or not announcing when we made the reservation. we decide to stay anyway. we sat and no one greeted us 20 minutes, so we went. come every other month to honolulu, but not near this place.
We came for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. The food was amazing as usual and the service was great. I cannot wait to go back!
It's Restaurant Week again and the fiance and I decided to kick it off by having the 3 course dinner they were offering for their event.

This restaurant is okayIt's a bit overpriced, and there are many other better places nearby
I had the clam chowder and ahi dip.
I wanted to love this place, since it's right downstairs from my office.
