The food was amazing and the service was very good. My only recommendation, is to get more air movers for the upper level. The sun on the second deck can be brutal. We loved the farm to table food and it was amazingly prepared. The steak special was, hands down, the best I had on the island.

Overall, it was a great experience! This place has it all! Great food, great drinks, excellent service, and those views! Also, great local music nightly (we were treated to Izik)! You’ll pay more, but they use local ingredients in their dishes (worth it), and you’re in Waikiki.

Great spot for a quality meal. The staff is super friendly and their menu has a big enough variety to satisfy most tastes. I had the Ono and Scallops special and it was amazing. My mother had the gnocchi which was made in house and she said they melted in her mouth. And my wife had the Margherita pizza and she loved it. This place will definitely be on the radar the next time we’re here.

I got the home made gnocchi, and Oh my, it was delicious. Portion was a little small but dish was certainly filling. Then we mentioned it was out anniversary and David, the most awesome server, gave us a slice of Mango Cream Pie, and that was to die for too! Highly recommend this place! Ask for David to serve you, he’s the best! Oh and my wife got the MaiTai and she said it was the best Ever! It had this yummy foam on top that set it above the rest!

5 minute wait at 330pm, just in time for happy hour! Ordered pizzas, poke tacos, truffle fries and mai tais. All of it was delicious. Live music was pleasant and provided nice ambiance. The hostess staff and our server all provided a great experience and we will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful experience here. Our waitress was a delight wish we could have her at every place we visit. Mai tai was delicious. Poke tacos were amazing. The pork and pineapple pizza was good and the wings have a nice dry rub that balances the heat nicely. The coconut pie was not overly sweet which made us love it as well. If near by recommend trying.

Perfect way to end our first day in Hawaii. I went ahead and made this reservation a couple days in advance and glad I did, we were seated right away upon arriving and had live music playing besides us. Food was good, drinks were great and the live music perfect! Mahalo

We all liked own dishes and pizzas. Although the fist pizzas was delicious and perfectly made, we ordered a second and it was not so well cooked and the truffle taste missing. The coconut cake was also fantastic:)

Wonderful service and the live music made the evening even more special! We ordered their popular and tasty mai tai and a martini, poke tacos, truffle fries, fish tacos, fish n chips, and their amazing macadamia nut dessert! From the hosts to the server, musician, and chefs, we loved dining at this restaurant- highly recommend!
