Posted on Opentable JeanneMay 7, 2026 Nice menu! They offer a lot of creative choices and the execution was well done! We decided to order a salad and a few appetizers. The Panzanella Salad was the highlight. It's definitely a unique take on the classic and can't wait to order it again. Also loved the Lemon Pepper Shrimp and the Crab Cakes. The service was also outstanding and everyone at the restaurant was warm and welcoming. They also brought a delicious mousse cake with a candle, since I mentioned that it was my friend's birthday. They also mentioned that they have happy hour from 2-4, if I recall correctly. We will have to check out happy hour very soon.Posted on Opentable MarcMay 5, 2026 Great service, excellent quality!

Go, people go!Posted on Opentable RobApril 26, 2026 One, if not the best meals we had during our week in Waikiki! Awesome food - my wife had fish and I had the pork chop - both were prepared perfectly. Service could not have been any better. We dined here on a previous trip and the food was outstanding, this trip was equally outstanding. The food is great, service is great, the 80's music was great - we really enjoyed our meal here and will return during our next trip. An amazing value!Posted on Opentable TeriApril 14, 2026 The best restaurant in Waikiki for a very nice breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great menu with lots of variety, delicious food and awesome service. All at very reasonable prices for the level of quality in Waikiki. You won’t leave disappointed!Posted on Opentable KariApril 6, 2026 Had a wonderful brunch here! Ate out on the lanai; nice atmosphere. The service was the best! Candace was great and such a joy to talk with. The food was amazing - had the signature pancakes and avocado poke.
