We had an amazing Valentine's dinner at this restaurant. The view was stunning, and we were fortunate to secure a table just in time for sunset (definitely request a table on the edge if you can). Our server, Tara, was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all our questions about local attractions. She recommended two dishes, both of which we loved. We also appreciated her humor and prompt service. Although the restaurant was busy, the layout of the tables ensured it never felt too loud or chaotic. It was a delightful way to spend an evening away from our hotel restaurant. Thank you, Big Kahuna, for the delicious food, and a special shoutout to Tara for her fantastic service!

First time visiting the island and this was another great experience. We sat with Jennifer at the bar and she was amazing! Friendly, wonderful service and she made the most delicious Tropical Whale with my favorite Gray Whale Gin. She also gave some great insight about breadfruit! Although simple, the house salad was really good, and the Big Kahuna burger was seasoned and made to perfection. Patties were juicy and the fries were piping hot! Definitely a great place to dine. View of the ocean is beautiful. You won't be disappointed visiting here.
We had really quality food, and I suppose that's what matters most. All of the food was really fantastic. Found it a tad overpriced and they were ill-prepared for a Sunday lunch rush, with only one bartender on staff. Our drinks didn't arrive until 10 minutes after our food.Also asked two different people for a high chair for our kid, which we just ended up fetching for ourselves when the first two people failed to accommodate.Might've caught them on a bad day, but we will be trying other places for the remainder of our trip.
I can't remember the last time I had a meal at a restaurant that was so utterly lacking in flavor. I ordered the fish tacos, while my husband got the steak cheese sandwich with fries. We genuinely couldn't identify any taste; the food was extremely bland. We only chose this place for its convenience to our next stop. We consumed the food, but if we were blindfolded, I doubt we could identify what we had. If you’re looking for something delicious, I would recommend skipping this restaurant. Book a table now
I didn't have high expectations for this restaurant due to its tourist-centric atmosphere, but I was pleasantly surprised by the food! We ordered the loco moco and the fish tacos, both of which were packed with flavor. I would definitely recommend trying these dishes. The service was also quick and friendly. As for parking, be aware that street parking is quite limited.
It is a great location, but the food was mediocre at best. I had the philly cheese and it wasn't very good. I didn't finish it. My companion had fish tacos, and she didn't like them.
We’ve eaten here twice, a dinner and a breakfast. Excellent food. Super friendly. Great service! Do not miss the Eggs Benedict for breakfast.
Every time we go the prices have gone up and the menu is less desirable $20 for just a burger now? My last Book a table now
Would eat here everyday if I could!!! From the service to the food to the atmosphere, outstanding!!!!!!
Great place, great food. Excellent view of the bay.
