    We have been wanting to try this new restaurant and we’re not disappointed. From the serene atmosphere to the exquisite food. Our experience was fantastic. We ordered the ceviche & the hummus w/ veggies to start. They were out of hummus & asked if we wanted to substitute with a Mac nut creamy cheese spread.the cheese spread was amazing ‘ better than any hummus I’ve ever had. The ceviche was perfection,with the right mix of seasoning & lime juice. We also ordered the lobster corn dogs, which I highly recommend sweet lobster combined with a cheddar cheese cornbread mix & fried perfectly - not greasy. We also ordered the signature tako tacos. Easy to taste why these won the chef “CHOPPED”. Wonderful mix of flavors with tako ( octopus) & chorizo. The service here is impeccable! Can’t wait to return.

    We came from the Mainland to celebrate our 35th Anniversary with our life long friends at Roys, our most favorite restaurant on the planet. Most importantly, my wife and I would like to `shout out' to Kalena, our server, and the Staff at Roys for a stellar performance. As always, great food, ambience, fun, and we cannot ever replicate the great service! Roy's a special place for us, as it has been for years as we return to Oahu on our adventures! Many thanks Kalena and Roy's for a great night!

    I don’t normally leave reviews, but our experience at Goen was well worth giving a huge shout out. I left a note in my reservation requesting appropriate seating as we had a 1.5yr old baby as part of our dining party and they went out of their way to facilitate our request. Further, adding to the exceptional experience they brought out a cute little quesadilla plate for her to hold her over while we perused the menu. Food was outstanding, we had the butterfish, salmon, short ribs and truffle gnocchi and every dish was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻 The server was lovely, personable and attentive. Highly recommend making your way to Kailua to check this place out. Will definitely return next time I’m in Hawaii. Thanks guys for an excellent dining experience..
