    2ヶ月前に海側の席をお願いしたいとメッセージを付けて予約しました。実際行ったところ、今は満席だから希望の席に座りたいなら45分~1時間待てと。そうじゃなければすぐに案内すると言われました。 サンセットが見たくてその時間に合わせて予約したのに、そんなに待ったら終わっちゃうし、予約したの意味がわからない。海側に近い席?と聞いたらそうだと言われたので、渋々承諾して案内してもらったが、そんなに近くなかったし、私たちの席からはサンセットは全然見えなかった。 テーブルの担当してくれた店員さんは感じ良かったし料理もとっても美味しかったけど、もう行く気にはならない。

    We have a reservation at8:15pm and we got there 10 minutes early so we were given this pad to let us know when our table is ready. There were a few people that checked in after us and were given same pad. We noticed that most of the people after us were getting seated (their pads buzzed) and we were still waiting 15 minutes past our reservation. After others that came much later were seated we decided to ask and that’s when they seated us but our pad never buzzed. Much as I wanted to give 5 stars, that experience at the front reception desk was not a good one for us.

    We were shocked by a woman coming around with a basket to ask for cash for the singers. Then, the singers counted out the cash on the stage before leaving. We had never seen this before.

    The view was the star, but the ambiance and food were neck and neck for second place. Cameron, our server is one of the Best servers we have ever had. This is truly saying something as we eat out a LOT. Jasmine Nicole was performing some cool renditions of popular songs in the background while we drank our Mai Tais and munched on our Kalua Pork Pineapple pizza. There was a twist to it…they used Pesto as the sauce and added some Jalapeños—Excellent beginning to the night. We then had our main course, Macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi for me and Lobster Pasta for my hubby. Everything was done extremely well. Our best night out in Waikiki.
