Come here each time we visit Kauai which is yearly. Food is good, but not great. Nothing special about the fish sandwich, smash burger or roasted chicken. Could use more flavor or sauces to enhance. Menu needs an update.

Really rough night there which is unfortunate because it’s a cute place with a fun outdoor bar. Cocktails were the best part - but they took 20 minutes, and came once we were almost finished with our meals. Got the steak and fresh catch. Steak was a small, cheap, fatty end piece and fully well done when ordered medium rare. Came with no sauce or any garnish and just looked so unappetizing. Fish was better but came in a salty butter sauce that just tasted cheap and under seasoned. Service was incredibly slow and inattentive - no effort to reconcile the slow drinks or inedible steak.

Service could be better, a little too hang lose. However, the steak special is awesome for price. it's a ribeye with veggies. Also, the fresh fish was ono and the sandwich was so good and perfectly cooked. Nice outdoor eating area and a great value. We will return for sure.

First time here. Food was good. Some of it more spicy than expected. Deviled eggs have lots of chili oil. Fried fish was dense and came with sauce that was too spicy. No regular tartar. Charcuterie was good. Salads good. Do accommodate food allergies.
