We shared the Brussel sprouts and bbq ribs w/lilikoi bbq sauce pupus. That plus a couple of cold beverages and a beautiful big island sunset made for a very pleasant evening in this hotel restaurant.

Nice setting, poolside with ocean view. Server was very nice and attentive. Service was excellent, no complaints there. Mahi with macadamia nuts was a disappointing, rubbery small portion and bland seasoning. Vegetables were cooked perfectly, rice fluffy. Wedge salad had very little blue cheese and bacon, adequate size, basic and boring. Price average for resort setting. Food needs to improve to match service.

Our group of 7 had several lunch dishes. Poke, French dip, Cesar salads, fish and chips. Poke was not fresh, fish in salad was overcooked, nachos and French dip were ok. Had to send the poke back. Very nice relaxed environment and the service was good. Unfortunately with many other good options, we will not be returning.

Menu selection severely lacking. Asked for the veggie pizza without carmelized onions and they refused to not put onions on. Little black flies everywhere, glass of wine had 5-10 in it before it could be drunk. Had a salad and then went to the grocery store to buy something edible to finish dinner.

Food quality was good just wished it was hot Very cold even the butter for lobster was cold. Hot/warmed plates would help keep food warm. Prices were decent in comparison to other pre fixed menus in the area.

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner. It was a four course dinner for a set amount. The service was very slow. It seem like our waitress had most of her tables on the other side of the restaurant and kept on forgetting about us. Took 2 1/2 hours from the time we sat down to paying the bill. The food thought was very good.

Terrible experience. Made a reservation and arrived. Checked in and seated. No one came round for 5 minutes which we found odd. Also noticed people were walking around with plates. Found out that in stead of a la carte, there was a buffet. We asked if there was an a la carte option and our server said no. Additionally no information on the buffet pricing or inclusion was provided. Later, we see people being delivered a la carte options. Meanwhile turns out it was a crab and prime rib buffet for $85/head. The prime rib was undercooked and after the chef cut it, they'd cook it more because no one wanted it that rare/bloody. The crab was alright but definitely not worth the price tag. Additionally the service was atrocious. Whole experience felt cheap, even with the >$200 price tag for 2.

A mediocre breakfast experience. The farmers omelette with egg white was not good - very plain and the texture was strange. The eggs benedict was OK. Coffee comes in carafes so if you order one regular and one decaf you’d get two giant carafes.

Turned out the hotel was doing a crab and prime rib buffet. Asked if a la carte was an option but was told no. Only to see other patrons order food. Crab was good. Prime rib was terrible undercooked, to the point that the chef was cutting and cooking it to order. Forced into the buffet, we were surprised it ran $85/pp which it was not worth it. Service was atrocious and overall just disappointed.

We weren't expecting much since we were aware that this is a hotel restaurant. We were very pleasantly surprised at how good our dinner was. Unfortunately, I can't remember what we ordered but the food was delicious, the view superb, & the service was exemplary. The next two mornings, we ordered buffet breakfasts. The made to order omelets were filled with a lot of the fresh vegetables we wanted & the 3 meat options offered. The waffles were the most delicious my husband or I have ever eaten. We ate a lot of papaya but were disappointed that no mangoes were available. The servers were very friendly & we enjoyed chatting with them very much. Despite their friendliness, they were very efficient & truly hospitable with all the guests. We recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.

Food was average. I have the ribeye. Came sliced and mashed into the mash potato's. Weird presentation. I picked Out the meat and left the rest. Server was good. The food runner seemed genuinely confused each time food was brought out. He tried to deliver three other meals to us. Last minute reservation on a Saturday night so thanks. Here for a month and definitely will not be going back.

So the food is relatively good, and all the servers/bartenders are awesome. But by all means do not order the shrimp cocktail. For 25$ it came with 1 stick of celery, 2 olives, 1 piece of bacon, 3 shrimp, and a little sauce in bottom of glass.. definitely not 25$ worth of food.

The food and service were excellent! Our servers made recommendations for food that were excellent. We watched the sun go down and enjoyed the live music. Great cocktails too. Happy anniversary celebration!
