    The staff from valet to host to wait staff and everyone in between were all wonderful. Our waitress, Courtney was so welcoming and friendly, even insisted on taking family photos after our meal. We never felt rushed and even though it was a little warm and sunny out, the staff never did complain and told us to make sure we took the time to look around (had spotted whales and pointed out where they had been). A wonderful Christmas dinner, the food was outstanding!

    I took my small family of 3 here for Christmas Eve dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced all things considered. Everything tastes fresh and professionally prepared. Service was a little delayed due to the holiday, but we were overall very pleased with our dinner. Amazing food, beautiful view, and a really welcoming ambiance. We will happily return should the occasion ever arise. The Hula Pie is literally to die for and makes a great addition to any dish you order. All in all, a great experience for me and my family!

    The food was fantastic. We had the filet, short ribs and grilled catch of the day. My daughter has a nut allergy so the manager was kind enough to ask chef to make an exception to his plate regarding her entree. Thank you!! It was delicious! Everything was fantastic! Try the fillet and the homage sorbets, they are wonderful!! Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly staff. Thank you for such a nice experience! We will be back!! ❤️❤️❤️

    We arrived earlier than our reservation & they seated us immediately- I had read reviews & ordered accordingly- We began with the Golden Sliders and Lollipop rolls…both wonderful. My “Boss Steak” was prefect- melt in your mouth med-rare NY steak ( had sauces on the side ) & my husbands “Butter Me Up Roll” was received very well- They are leaving this Mall at end of December 24’- Hope they reopen on Kauai by time we return ❤️
