Very disappointed with the service and Christmas dinner. Dinner starts at 5.00pm and prime rib special ran out by 6.00pm. No mash from 5.30pm. Not enough staff and lots of mistakes and waiting. Poor value

Voted best breakfast 3 years running and I can see why. Great customer service from the person seating you to the food servers , great eggs Benedict and the loco moco was the best I had on the island. Definitely a place to check out if your on the big island. Can't wait to go back for seconds 🤗🤗🤗.

Had the chicken alfredo linguine with mushrooms. IT WAS DELISH!! Perfect view overlooking the beach watching the sun set very romantic. Constantly checked on, never had to ask for water refills. 4 star review ONLY bc I'm not big on sitting with people I don't know and that's the layout if you want a sunset view table. Pricey yes but the food was worth every penny!

The food was great and the owners care that you get what you pay for. Good size portion. Went back next night for dinner. Teriyaki steak was perfect, a must try. The chicken albedo was excellent and 2 people could share with portiin size. Will definitely be back on next trip.
