    Located in a historic landmark, this restaurant and lovely shops sit in a former estate with grounds so lovely it relaxes the guests with its beautiful surroundings. There are photos and paintings of the property throughout. It is reminiscent of old Hawaii in so many ways; thank you for taking us back to a different time. The meal was excellent and service was very good. We had moctails while waiting in the lounge and they were perfect. Our dining was in a lovely gazebo which was picturesque. The food as mentioned was wonderful.

    Excellent service from our server who knew from memory the gluten free selections. Our steak and Ahi were both prepared perfectly. Ambience as always, breathtaking. Everyone, from the valet, to the welcoming committee at the desk, to the expediters really take a moment to make a connection however brief. Amazing in this age where it seems people are losing the ability to communicate. But the coup de gras? Gluten-free Mochi cake! Thanking the team for a gluten free dessert that is unique and memorable.
