I was in town for a week and am so happy I stumbled upon this gem! Of course the views are absolutely spectacular, but the food is delicious and the service is fantastic. My partner and I went for lunch on our first afternoon in. Aaron was our server, and I cannot say enough nice things about our experience! He was very patient and answered any questions we had, and made great recommendations off the menu. We had such a great experience that we took the rest of my family there when they arrived. The dinner menu is different than lunch, so it was lovely to have such a variety of tasty food. Highly recommend!

We had dinner here one night on our recent vacation. The food was good, the view was amazing, & the staff unbelievable. Our waitress Amy really knew the menu, her food recommendations were spot on, she also gave us great tips on where to go during our vacation, & she was even amazing w/ our 2 yo son who is very difficult at the moment.Overall, the atmosphere & service made it a memorable night. Highly recommended

Great restaurant. Food, service and atmosphere... a trifecta!

We went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and had a terrific experience. The food was excellently prepared and seasoned, and the portions were huge. The wait staff was super attentive and friendly. And the view of the Pacific, looking west toward the sunset, was spectacular. They even treated me to a slice of excellent key lime pie to celebrate the occassion. A great restaurant.

The atmosphere is open , airy and clean. The ocean view over the plaza is great. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The service is very efficient. The lunch menu had many choices from sandwiches, salads soup and full plates. We had the Ono Tacos and the Hawaiian style Burger . Both were very good. If you're in the area stop in. It's supposed to be nice at Sunset too!

It would've been better if the waiter got the right burger order. Ordered the Luau burger but was brought the Paniolo burger. When mentioned, he only apologized and we never got what we ordered. In addition, there was NO coffee in the house...seriously? Another apology. Apologies and not correcting/accommodating will not have us stepping foot in a place that doesn't respect their customers.If you don't want to serve the locals, then please post a sign that says: "NO LOCALS ALLOWED!" then we'll see how long you survive, literally.?

Ate there twice in a ten day period, service was fast. We were waited on by Christine and she was fantastic. Hawaiian style BBQ pork ribs were fantastic, all the food was good to great. Best view on the entire coast. No B.S. parking issues like in town!
