Great customer service but menu is very limited! I wish they had more variety

I read the other reviews, really mixed so I guess it just depends on when you go, but I had great, friendly service, really good food, awesome view. Salad, ribs, and a cold beer. Service was a bit slower paced but not outrageous. It was a Monday night and I was there right at dinner start (5), started to get a bit more customers there by time I left. I would go back for sure and see if the next visit is just as good, especially as it gets later or on a weekend.

Hasn't disappointed in all my years eating there! Crab cake salad is always amazing- but so is everything else!

Everything about this place is on point. The cocktails were mixed to perfection, the curry hamakua mushroom pot pie was to die for, the crab cakes salad was so ONO and you can't beat the view.

Great service from being seated and served. Enjoyed our sushi, meal and dessert. Atmosphere was great as busy as they were.

We had a late lunch our waitress was very nice and our food fair but the Recptionist was rude and discourteous to us. This made our visit very uncomfortable. We recommend you look else where.
