“ A long time favorite restaurant. Go to items on the menu are their lobster bisque, panko crusted chicken cobb salad, portobello mushroom ravioli, and Margherita pizza...along with their plantation ice tea. Delicious food and simple ambiance....you can choose between outdoor or indoor seating. ”
“ * update! I just added a video showcasing a dish that will be available for a limited time. It was truly delicious. I have lost track of the number of times I've eaten here now. It is that good. Not only is the food freshly prepared, the service is always excellent. Even when I've tried things that I don't like they are willing to give me something that I do like. And if you are a wine connoisseur, they have wine Wednesdays, where you get half off a bottle of wine so bring a friend! ”
“ Staff here are always so nice and attentive! I can't get enough of their poke wonton ughhhh. Best little lunch spotty. Mac and Cheese, salmon Ceasar, calamari, artichoke dip. Love everything ”
“ Very popular restaurant inside Nordstrom. Better make reservation ahead time (esp weekend). Great food quality and friendly service. ”
“ My family and I have been coming here for nearly a decade, and the food, service, and atmosphere has remained the same— 10/10 highly recommend. Their spinach dip is a delicious appetizer, and I always order the tomato soup with extra crostini’s. The soup is delicious and one of the best tomato soup’s you’ll ever have. The Caesar and sesame wonton salad is also yummy. Their plantation iced tea is also seriously addicting. Their service and staff are always quick to deliver the food, yet kind and personable. I highly recommend coming here. ”
“ there are gluten free options, thank you so much for the service. the lady that helped us was hilarious, kind, professional, giving, dedicated, attentive, watchful... next time i visit Hawaii i will comeback to this restaurant ”
“ First time here, always wanted to try. Went without a reservation on a whim when they opened for lunch on a weekday and immediately was seated at the bar. Friend last minute wanted to join so got to share plates which was a good thing Bar service was great, mahalos to Tran for great service Ordered the Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts for starters, the Honey Dijon Cobb Salad, and the Penne Bolognese with Meatballs for the entree. Lucky my friend knew that they could split both the entree and salad in two, since I didnt know. Had an order of the Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos brought out as well *mahalos Mandy* Food, service and atmosphere top notch. No wonder this place packs a crowd. Had to save some room for dessert and ended up ordering the Kona Coffee Ice cream and the Bread Pudding, which capped off a fabulous lunch. Sometimes you need to live a little and splurge. 5 stars ”
“ Tried twice within a week. Great food for sure. Price is respectable. Service is depends on that day .... ”
