Beautiful open air restaurant with delicious drinks and meals. I went because I saw they had Hawaiian amberjack on the menu and wanted to get some truly local fish- it was delicious. They also customize some of their non-alcoholic drinks, which also sounded delicious, to make them alcoholic for me.

Second visit. The first was amazing. Great table service, excellent food, 20% tip added automatically for a party of 5, but it was an amazing experience. We are "on the couches", outdoors on the deck. Really good. Went back tonight and got a different server, same spot. Burger was disappointing to say the least, cooked perfectly, nice beef, no taste. FYI, you need to season beef, even with salt. Tip not automatically added (same number of guests), food on table and no cutlery, items on the check don't add up. Really disappointed after such a great first visit.

Beautiful views. Other then that, the whole experience was underwhelming. Service was alright, they forgot my dads drink, but the server was sweet and offered it on the house which we declined. The smoked kampachi dip was actually really good, but the tiger roll seemed to not have any crab. I had the grilled shutome, and the presentation was very nice but the fish was dry and lukewarm. Overall, not a bad experience but not impressed.

This place is unreal. I most definitely enjoyed my food and drinks at the bar. Travis and the crew most certainly run a tight ship with a great staff. Nothing but aloha and genuine care with the service here. Mahalo for such a wonderful time spent at your hotel. Cheers and Namaste!

This is one of the fancier restaurants in Waikiki and expect to pay more. Open air with city and ocean views.
