Great atmosphere... even had a belly dancer for entertainment. Beautiful view of the ocean if you are smart enough to arrive early and get a window seat. One of the best dinners we had on the north side of the Island. We had the artichoke appetizer (which was too pricey and not worth it) but our main course,the rack of... More

Nice restaurant next to the sea, part of a small resort complex, only restaurant in Hanea if you didn't want to travel back through the one lane bridges to Hanalei. Given a nice table near the window which was nice given that we hadn't made a booking, and a friendly wait staff person. But overpriced for the food offered and... More

This is past Hanalei about 15 minutes and well worth the trip. We were surprised how large the dining room was, most in this area are fairly small in seating. Wonderful service, very friendly staff, excellent food. My wife says she can eat there every night we are on the Island!

We got a table by the windows and could see the ocean. With the warm breeze coming in, it was very relaxing. The highlight was my pan-seared monchong. It was mouthwatering! The fish was very soft and juicy. It was prepared just right. We also had their ahi sashimi appertizer and hubby had a cioppino. Both were tasty too. It... More

First of all, to sit by the window and see the surf only a few feet away during your dinner is fantastic. Then, the meal is absolutely awesome. Start with some appetizers - they will knock your socks off with taste and innovation. On to the main meal and you will not be disappointed. On top of the meal itself,... More

The food was pretty ordinary especially the Chicken wrap. It was very dry. We had to ask for Tahini sauce to make it juicy ourselves They had really great views of the ocean however and the fries werent bad. Lots of parking and on the way to the Kee beach. The ambience was the only thing which wasn't bad.

First off, we arrived at an empty restaurant and were asked if we had reservations. We did not and thus were not given a window seat despite our request. Thinking the place was about to fill, we waited. When no other guests arrived we requested to be moved and were finally accommodated. Our young waiter did provide good service and... More

From the address one might think that this restaurant is in Hanalei but one needs to drive nearly to Kee Beach. It's worth it. From the inside of this lively spot, one has a view of the ocean. Making a luncheon choice from an interesting menu was tough. In the end we chose to share a salad which was plenty... More

The service and atmosphere were excellent. Staff went out of their way to get us ocean view seats. We enjoyed a half priced bottle of wine and we were very full by the time we left because the good was so good.

Sweeping views of the ocean and jazz in the background. They have pallea, lamb, and seafoods. Dishes are about $35 each. Wine is overpriced-although they have an interesting selection. Wednesday is 1/2 price night which brings it closer to a reasonable price. Most wines are 4x grocery store value- I am used to 2x - 3x. Our ohno was over... More
