   Way too loud- hard to have a conversation. Small but varied menu and good drink assortment.

   Great little restaurant in Makawao. I army dinner right when they opened. Our server was great. Very attentive and friendly. We ordered several happy hour dishes and entrees. Started with buffalo wings, had the smash burger with truffle fries, wedge salad, truffle Mac and cheese, Kanaka stew and Fish and chips. Only disappointing thing was their malt vinegar too was missing and I didn’t notice it until I poured a ton of it on my fish 👎🏼. I would recommend a Hispanic you are in the area though.

   Where to start? The service was impeccable! Attentive and kind lady who took such good care of us. The food, 10/10. Every flavor was perfectly balanced and kept me excited for the next bite. The overall vibe of this place is warm, inviting and fillled with Aloha. Chef Scotty is a hero. Can’t wait to go back.

   Broke our Christmas tradition to try this place out, and what a mistake that was. Basically ruined our entire mood for a very special Christmas Eve with our kids. The absolute worst service we have ever had. The server made us feel rushed when we first sat down. Then rarely came back. Drinks took forever. Didn’t check on the food. A slice of cake took so long we started to pack up to leave and the server didn’t mention anything about the cake or bother to clear our dinner plates. I wish we could get a refund because it truly sucked. Save your money and cook at home over this place.

    My previous experience was terrible! This was shortly after they opened and the food was horrible. Gave it a 2nd try and it was much improved. It's still very noisy but not as bad in the back! It is on the pricier side.
