    This is the second time we celebrated New Years Day at Wolfgang’s steak house. Pricey I know but you want to start the new year with awesome food and worry later how much I paid. Service was again excellent. Praises to our server Allie. If next year goes good I’ll be back again.

    The Hideout offers a cool dining experience with a relaxed and inviting ambiance that perfectly captures the Hawaiian vibe. The atmosphere was definitely a highlight and made for a great start to the day. The food was decent—nothing extraordinary but still enjoyable. The flavors were good, and the dishes were well-prepared, though not particularly memorable. Overall, The Hideout is a nice spot for breakfast with good vibes, making it worth a visit if you’re looking for a chill dining experience in Hawaii.

    Had an amazing experience at the House Without A Key, right on the ocean! The atmosphere were incredible—nothing beats dining with the sound of the waves and live Hawaiian music in the background. The food was just as impressive. We tried the chicken breast and mahi mahi and both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ambiance was relaxed but still stylish, perfect for a sunset dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive, making it a perfect spot for a laid-back but memorable meal. Can’t wait to return!
