    Chef Terry is lovely and her food delicious. Only disappointment was with server taking so long to get our entree order we missed out on the chicken (which was ordered out of existence, though we were seated right at opening). He also forgot my husband’s drink order. Mocktails were tasty!

    Food was good, service was not. Very slow and was not that busy. Wife ordered an Irish Coffee and was delivered cold. Then when remade hot, was just black coffee and Irish whiskey, no cream, no sweetener, no whipped cream.. great ambiance but disappointing service.

    Nearly $30 for a very skimpy charcuterie board and skip the beet salad entirely, very small salad, lacking in much flavor, beets overly seasoned with pepper - not worth the $18 spent on it. Underwhelming for the prices.

    First time at the restaurant. Drinks were good. Ordered prix fixe dinner, bone marrow had no “marrow”, just filled with caramelized onions and micro greens. Chowder was good. Overall, portions were quite small for the price. Ala carte items ordered at same time as prix fixe items didn’t begin to arrive until after the entree items had been consumed. Disappointing.

    Definitely over priced and portions were generally small. I would go back for ambiance and maybe a few drinks, but dining in is way too expensive relative to value.

    First time back after the new menu debuted. Loved the taste of most things but I must say the portion sizes especially the soup priced at 21.00 was pretty small. The salmon tartare was the outstanding dish of the evening. Was expecting our experience to be better than it was but as one of the only games in town as far as dining, I might only come back for the salmon dish.

    The service was very good and they had a unique but short menu. The setting is a kind of funky Kailua.

    What a great find in Kailua! Everything was perfect. Amazing cocktails. Same with the food. It’s a great place for date night with low lighting and fantastic service. We found both the server and the bartender extremely knowledgeable. Most of the food seems to be sourced locally and the server was able to tell us about the farms and ranches and fishermen that provided the ingredients. There was also live music outside in their “Garden”. Highly recommended. We will be back.

    First visit. Welcoming and pleasant. After viewing on line, realized menu is constantly changing and did not see items that were photographed on line. Enjoyed our cocktail adventure. Loved the decor and atmosphere.
