    I have a feeling they try and be so local and healthy that it lacks in flavor

    Visitors from SF & NYC & I experienced a unique, delicious leisurely Sunday lunch here. Every dish on the menu & was a a hit- the banana pancakes, congee, fish w/ Luau leaves, fried ulu, & many sides were fabulous. Having chef Ed Kenney in the kitchen doing the cooking was a bonus! Will return!

    The food was unique and delicious and our server gave us excellent recommendations. The peanut tofu was so unexpected in a good way and the miso butterscotch rice pudding was “get your hands off my dessert” level yum

    I just want to give a shout out to Rhonda. She took such good care of me. I have a small appetite, but the items I ordered were so, so good. This was my first visit, and I couldn’t have had a better time..

    Delicious innovative dishes. Super friendly and attentive service. They also helped us celebrate a birthday when I mentioned it in our reservation.

    Welcoming service, inventive food (venison pasta, sausage and clams), chill vibe. We wanted to get out of the tourist zone and of the two places we tried this was the winner.

    Great food and service. Started out with wonderful cocktails and really friendly service. We had a bunch of shared courses, all were interesting and tasty. Menu is small, but varied. Lots of vegetables plus seafood and meat dishes. Wish we were here longer so w could go back.
