Great new space in Kailua for a meal. Nicely presented and extremely yummy items on menu. Loved the lighting and banyan tree throughout the restaurant - and the mellow live music. Lovely and attentive wait staff.

This was our fourth time at Gaslamp, and although we always enjoy it, this was a particularly memorable experience. The bartenders were exceptional. Very personable and the drinks were top notch. We ordered the "French Laundry", Wellington, and the Lobster Bucatini. They were all delicious and well worth the price. If you are looking for a romantic date night or nice evening with friends, this is the place! Quiet and romantic atmosphere, delicious food, and well crafted cocktails. This place has the full package.

Excellent service, beautiful view of ocean at sunset. The restaurant was loud because it was busy but we were still able to carry on a conversation. The live music was amazing! Food was great, especially the dessert. The Mai Tai was fantastic. We will be back!
