    The ambiance was fantastic—I really enjoyed sitting by the koi pond. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. The lobster was undercooked at first, and when they brought a new one, the flavor was bland, as if it had just been boiled and dipped in butter. My swordfish was overcooked and chewy. My kids had the chicken teriyaki from the kids' menu, but the rice was mushy, and the chicken tasted like an unseasoned breast that was baked, sliced, and tossed in teriyaki sauce at the last minute. My wife’s crab cakes were just okay, nothing special. Given the beautiful setting and strong reviews, I was really disappointed. It’s possible that because we ate at 8:30, the kitchen was serving food that had been sitting for a while or reheated—nothing tasted freshly prepared.

    Ordered the Dynamite Carb Cakes appetizer. They were excellent. For the entree we both ordered the Hawaiian Catch+. It was swordfish and it was very good. It comes with one scallop, one shrimp, and a lobster tail. Vegetables were mashed Molokai sweet potatoes, and broccolini. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. For dessert we recommend the chocolate lava cake.

    The restaurant is in a stunning location and we loved the views during our meal. The food was delicious and our server was friendly and attentive. I’d definitely recommend for a special occasion, romantic date, or as a great finale to a Hawaiian vacation.
