Fantastic spot for lunch. Had a great time, was seated perfectly in front of the ocean. The food was excellent, we got the poke tower, wings and fish tacos. They were all delicious and fresh. Id recommend this to anyone that is down town and shopping. They do have parking underneath the restaurant that they will do vouchers for. Great time.

Just left, Lacy was our server and bartender. She is the BEST! We just happened to be there for happy hour, and let me say it was the happiest happy hour I’ve had in lots and lots of hours! Food was awesome, I had the shrimp, it was gone before I got a picture, sorry! Tartar sauce was one of, if not the best I’ve ever had and I AM a tartar sauce snob! Photos of the chicken crispy taco and current happy hour menu are included. Also, how did they get that mai tai to us without spilling it! Seriously, I could not move it without spilling it and lovely was the pour! We WILL be going back! And you should too. Thanks for a lovely evening! Views were not bad either! 😉

Amazing breakfast!! My sister had the burrito and I had the loco moco and it was top tier (gave me chicken fried steak vibes would 100% recommend). Service was fast and pleasant server and host were friendly and chipper.

Our first time in Hawaii, and this was the first place we ate lunch at.
I ordered a poke nacho dish that was super fresh and the crunchy wonton chips held up their crisp until the very last bite. My fiance ordered the Guava BBQ bacon cheeseburger that he crushed.
Our server Derrick made delicious mocktails for my aunt and I. He also gave us wonderful suggestions for island activities, per our request. My aunt ordered the pork BBQ sandwich amd her bf ordered the teriyaki burger. All were delicious.
And the VIEW off the patio was just breath taking. We all highly recommend this restaurant.
(The prices were reasonable!)

Honestly, I’m genuinely surprised by some of the negative reviews — my experience was completely different. We had a great time here. The value for both the food and drinks was solid, and the oceanfront patio seating is unbeatable.
Even though they were short-staffed and the person at the bar ended up taking care of us, the service was still attentive and friendly. Their mimosas are amazing — the housemade guava syrup is such a standout.
The tacos in the ube wraps were delicious, and the menu has so many interesting options. It might cause a bit of decision fatigue, but I’m definitely not complaining.
Overall, a lovely spot with great food, great views, and great vibes. Would happily return.

Everything about this place was lovely. The parking was a bit hectic however if you park in the parking garage they validate that. The food was great, it’s spacious & a wonderful view. We got poke nachos, a burger & tacos. I can’t complain about anything.

I haven’t tried the food here, so I can’t comment on that, but the atmosphere here is incredible.
After waiting to be seated, I finally got the perfect table with an ocean view—right where you can hear the Kona waves crashing in.
Bartender Lacey was absolutely amazing! She seemed to be handling the bar and a few tables on her own, and still gave fantastic service.
This is hands down one of the best spots if you want to relax with a drink, enjoy the ocean view, and listen to the sound of the waves.
Definitely coming back! Lacey has great customer service!

This is a great spot, for dining views at a table or to relax at the bar and listen to live music.
Lacy, one of the bartenders, is a rock star. Always moving, making drinks and pouring beers. This can be a very busy bar and she manages it well.
The avocado fries are a must, and this time tried the poke bowl which was tasty and a good complement.
Happy to support local.

Excellent experience with indoor and/or outdoor dinning options right on the water. The staff were very friendly and the service was 5 star all the way. The food was delicious and the menu showcases the local delicacies, well! Highly recommended
