First time eating here, decided to get take out as we weren't welcomed when we walked in. Ordered and were told to wait outside which we gladly did. When food was ready they handed the bag without so much as a thank you. Will not be recommending to any of our friends as the food was just ok. Nothing spectacular.

Good food with locally sourced ingredients, really friendly staff. Great place to eat for vegetarians or people with food allergies.

Bartender was rude no local hospitality. No aloha. Just the bartending side. Cashiers were super sweet and helpful

We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy. You pay at the counter, take a number, then they bring your food to your table. We tried the fish tacos, French dip and clam chowder (soup of the day). Everything was tasty, just a bit on the salty side even for me (I love salt). I would definitely get the French dip again (it had a delicious garlic flavor). The clam chowder was also very fresh, and lighter (less creamy) than most chowders.

I went with a friend of mine. I very clearly ordered my burger very well done with no toppings. Easiest order ever. Server understood. Of course it came out rare. Let the server know politely. Instead of remaking it as simple as the burger is.. they slap it back on the grille. Gross and unsanitary for other people also ordering anything they put on that grille…seeing that I already bit into it. It comes back out and im surprised to see the same burgee now cooked on dried ketchup and gross come back. I try to eat it…its still rare but now also soggy and gross! Wild!! I tell the server imso sorry I just cant.. its still rare and clearly show him. Then… I had to ask for it because be taken off! Instead of him immediately saying ill take it off even though clearly I hadnt eaten any of it. I left the restaurant just eating fries. Wild!! Horrible way of handling such an easy order.

The food is pretty good and the servers give very fast service, I didn't have to wait long on anything. The breakfast burritos are pretty great

I love this little country-like Cafe. The atmosphere is serene & the workers are so respectful as well as knowledgeable & kind. They serve alcohol & when I last visited the bartender made me a cocktail that was her own mixture. Refreshing & so ono. Lemon martini. Thanks to all the staff.

Been wanting to try this place for awhile now and I wish we came earlier! I been on the search for a great fish & chips and this is by far the best I've had!! I love skinny fries & I asked for crispy- it was perfect. My fish was absolutely Ono! Crispy on the outside nice and juicy on the inside! Poke nachos was Ono!! Crispy nachos, fresh fish, Ono toppings! Crab artichoke dip was Ono too! Wish they had calamari but we were told that's only during the day, which means we need to come back for that :) My husband the chicken Parmesan, he said it was good. Nice and light. Flavorful. Our server was Kelsey, she was AMAZING!! Super friendly, great knowledgeable of the items on the menu, she suggested things, spoke about the different menus and items they offer throughout the day and night. She was quick, always checked in on us. Polite, professional, had a great smile & provided awesome service! Mahalo Kelsey!! We will be back! Looking forward to a breakfast/ brunch date here with my hubby!

The food was fantastic and served really quickly. Came in for work lunch so I plan on coming back when I can try some of their creative cocktails from the bar.

I had a wonderful experience at this establishment! The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the drinks were incredible. I must say, they make the best mojito on the island! One of my favorite items on the menu is the avocado toast, which is undoubtedly the best on the island. My family loves coming here for the amazing food and welcoming atmosphere.
